  • #136: Robin Hannoun - From Beating Brain Cancer to Wealth Management

    Robin and I met in the early stages of my Real Estate career. He joined my office not long after I did and we quickly became friends. in 2019, Robin was diagnosed with brain cancer, went through months of chemo and radiation therapy and thankfully went into remission and made a full recovery. The diagnosis was a hard pill to swallow but he managed to push through, work for a short time as a realtor before deciding to pursue a masters in finance and become a wealth management professional. We discussed his bout with brain cancer as well as the journey through rigorous wealth management certifications and some tips he's learned to help build a powerful business portfolio.

  • #132: David Behar - Jewish Matchmaking on Netflix

    Netflix just released a new 8-part series called Jewish Matchmaking on Netflix and the Jewish world is ranting and raving about it! The show documents Jewish couples on blind dates set up by a Jewish matchmaker who does her best to find these young men and women their potential life partners. The young Hebrews come from different cultural and religious backgrounds and all have their own unique stories and dating preferences. This is the first show of its kind to give people an inside look of how Jewish people do dating. David Behar, a friend and one of the bachelors of the show, joined me this week to tell us about his experience on the show, the drama with Dani, and the Miami Sephardic Club organization which he founded 2 years ago and has grown considerably since.

  • #131: Or Shraga - Can We Live Forever? The People on A Mission to Eliminate Death!

    In recent history (say in the last 50 years), technological and medical breakthroughs have given humans several more years to live. Many scientists who deeply study the components of life or death are highly certain that we will be able to extend life and possibly even create a world where humans live forever. This seems to heavily conflict with religious texts that allude to humans having a life limit of 120 years. The question many might ask is, is 120 years ordained by G-d or is this simply an outdated metric? Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with another Israeli named Or Shraga who is on a mission with an organization called "Beat Death" which is committed to finding ways to either give humans a longer lease on life and possibly make life permanent. I'm quite skeptical about this idea and I know many people will be as well, but I implore you to open your mind to the idea.

  • #130: Lior Ofir - KEY LIFE LESSONS From An Israeli Navy SEAL | Shayetet 13 שייטת

    Most humans are familiar with the U.S Navy SEALS. What many people haven't heard of is the highly esteemed, and even more highly trained, Israeli version of the Navy Seals, better known as Shayetet 13. I had the pleasure of meeting former IDF Navy SEAL Lior Ofir several months ago and sat down together to discuss his military experience (if you haven't seen that episode, the link is down below). He is now back for round 2 to discuss key lessons he's learned both during and after his service and how he continues to sharpen his leadership sword as a COO of the Jewish Federation of Broward County. This is quite a long episode, but I implore you to take the time to soak up this high achiever's knowledge.

  • #129: Yuval Teren - The Human Analyst

    Many of us have experienced a hypnotist or magician showing us how they can alter our state of mind or do tricks that leave us begging for answers. Yuval Teren is a human analyst who comes from a family of magicians. He has been of stage with his parents since childhood where he performed the timeless half body cutting in a box trick and over the years has become fascinated with understanding human behavior. On this week's podcast, Yuval gives me some deeper insight on who I am as well as an understanding of why people act and think the way they do. He also does some cool shit with cards and that's always fun.

  • #128: Icy - From Former Stripper to Working for Fresh & Fit

    This week I had the pleasure of having the lovely Icy on the podcast. Icy uses an Alias as do many people in Miami and although I think it's strange, I do understand why some people decide to do it. Icy is a single mother and former stripper who over the last year or so was invited as a guest on the Fresh and Fit podcast in Miami. The F & F podcast is currently one of the biggest dating podcasts in the world and is highly controversial, largely due to their raw, unwavering opinions on modern male and female dynamics and dating. Icy initially hated their content and over time made a complete 180 and now works for them full time recruiting women off the show as well as kicking some of the women off the panel when asked to do so. I'd really like to read your feedback in the comments on this episode so don't be shy!

  • #126: Basilio Rivera - The BOOMING New Jersey Real Estate Market

    This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with fellow Porsche lover and New Jersey realtor Basilio Rivera. Basilio and I met initially practicing Real Estate scripts and so why not have a discussion about the current market in a fast-growing market like Jersey City. Since COVID, many New Yorkers have left the crazy city in search of either a smaller city or the suburbs where they can get a bigger bang for their bucks and for many, Jersey is THAT place. Listen in as Basilio and I crack some jokes and delve into his knowledge of Real Estate with 17 years of experience as well as his predictions over the next 6-12 months.
