Sandy Rosenthal is a renowned civic mobilizer, author, and founder of Levees.org. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, she established Levees.org to educate the public about the true causes of the catastrophic flooding in New Orleans, emphasizing that it was due to engineering failures by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rather than a natural disaster. Her investigative work culminated in the critically acclaimed book Words Whispered in Water: Why the Levees Broke in Hurricane Katrina, where she details her journey to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable. Named a 'Woman of the Year' by New Orleans Magazine and a TEDx speaker, Sandy brings bold insight, purpose-driven leadership, and a passion for justice that inspires change.

Today’s guest is a former wealth-chaser turned global changemaker. Arunjay Katakam grew up dreaming of being super-rich—but his journey took him far beyond financial ambition. From his entrepreneurial childhood in India to a career in investment banking, and eventually into the world of international development and social impact, Arunjay’s story is one of awakening, service, and radical purpose.

After decades of working on financial inclusion and development projects across the world, Arunjay realized that the existing systems weren’t working—at least not fast enough or equitably. That realization during the pandemic led him to write his book, Generation Hope: How Inclusive Economics Can Help Us All Thrive, and to found the Inclusive Action Lab, a nonprofit startup focused on solving real problems for real people.

In this episode, Arunjay shares how meditation, consciousness, and a deep desire to help humanity guided him from Wall Street to creating a more inclusive economic future. If you're seeking purpose, impact, and hope, this conversation is for you.

David Sidoni believes his ultimate passion is uplifting the consumer through education, podcasting, social media, and internet marketing. He aims to disrupt the real estate industry to serve an ignored and disrespected consumer - the first-time home buyer.

His vehicle to share this message is wrapped up in an approachable yet highly informative format. The How to Buy a Home podcast currently has over 1.67 million downloads.

David is an advocate for first-time home buyers. However, he can speak on various topics about the housing market and the real estate industry in general. Inspirational stories and testimonies from new homeowners who never found the education they needed and were ready to give up until they found David's 'How-To-Buy-A-Home podcast.

With over 70 interviews with people who used his podcast to achieve homeownership, these episodes inspire other listeners to know they can do it, too. In one interview, the new homeowner told David she used to listen to OTHER interviews on the show from other new homeowners and pause the podcast after he asked questions so she could practice how she would answer when she came on the show.

It's a passion project turned industry revolution that is now a viable business and service that doesn't fleece the consumer.
