Rav Boruch Clinton spent two decades as a high school Rebbe before pivoting to a second career in IT. Along the way, he wrote prolifically about Torah, technology, and the challenges of working life — including a practical guide for Bnei Torah entering the workforce.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why Rav Hirsch remains his intellectual and spiritual anchor

• How writing became his tool for learning, clarity, and impact

• What Torah actually says about choosing a career

• The dangers of romanticizing our generation’s nisayonos

• Why being a mentch is a core Torah value — especially at work

Plus: the forgotten career that now pays $92K/year as an apprentice, the Hirschian take on Kabbalah, and how to push back respectfully when Torah values are at stake.

“If you’re a Ben Torah in the Beis Medrash, you should be a Ben Torah in the boardroom. No barriers. No masks.” – Rav Boruch Clinton
