When I was first introduced to Dr. Alex Hershaft, I was immediately inspired by his tenacity and passion. Not only is he an animal rights pioneer and founder of Farm Animals Rights Movement (FARM), but he’s also a Holocaust survivor.
In our conversation, he details his tumultuous journey from a Warsaw ghetto to eventually immigrating to the US alone at the age of 16. He shares how his early life has given him a unique perspective on freedom and autonomy, which has rippled into his work as an animal rights activist. We discuss the reality of factory farming, getting traction for a movement, and Alex’s refreshing attitude on overcoming adversity.

Wealth Habits book launch is officially here! To celebrate, I’m giving you a sneak peek into Chapter 6 of my book: The Secrets to Building Multiple Streams of Income. This chapter is part of the third wealth habit, Earning Your Way to Wealth. I hear so often from people that they believe millionaires need to have seven streams of income, which actually isn’t true. Millionaires typically have four streams of income. This misinformation stems from incorrectly defining these different streams of income. So today, we’re reviewing the true definitions of income streams, plus some concrete examples of each.
I also address the commonly shared concern, “I don’t have enough money to start investing. How do I get started?” The truth is, you probably do have enough money, you just might be overspending. You’ll learn how to figure out if you actually are.
This is one of my favorite chapters in the book. If you love it too, please share this episode and leave a review!

Alli and I discuss how she and her business partners aligned with strategic investors, why it’s so important to build your risk tolerance as an entrepreneur, and what her experience has been like exiting the company.
