Maxi was somebody I reached out to before I even launched my first episode. At the time, I had little to show for myself, and Maxi declined my request for a conversation. 

Fast forward, and gratefully we managed to lock down a time to meet and talk.

Maxi is a larger than life character and we enjoyed a fascinating conversation where he shared personal opinions and experiences on a broad range of topics, including building and scaling a business, dealing with personal setbacks and early childhood hardships, learning how to cut out the noise and stay focused on the end goal and perhaps most importantly, a valuable lesson in learning to build a healthy relationship with the ever growing demands on our attention from technology.

I hope you enjoy and benefit from listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

Welcome back to Part 2 of my conversation with Gedalia Miller. 

We've all seen the signage and we've all seen the adverts for the incredible Shabatons advertised by Kesher Nafshi

. 

Besides, for the logistics of arranging such weekends, I wanted to understand what impact these events provide for the attendees and how the journey of launching such intensely scheduled programmes evolved and what the vision was from the onset. 

Kesher Nafshi has embedded itself across dozens of communities globally providing not just spiritual, emotional and psychological healing to families going through this challenging chapter but more importantly in its continuously expanding level of in reach to new communities, providing training, events, and one-to-one family Care helping struggling teens, their parents, siblings and extended families navigate this journey with understanding compassion and  lasting success. 

Join me on my conversation with Gedalia Miller as we discover the magic of Kesher Nafshi

Once again, a huge thank you to Maxim Cohen from the UK Finance Group for his continued support of this podcast.

I hope you enjoy

I had the privilege of sitting down, with the two and only, Avi & Yaakov Barr, who besides for their busy respective schedules, have carved out the time to found one of the UK’s most critical organisations, Jteen.

As you will soon hear,  the energy between Avi and Yaakov is something to be admired, two brothers working together to completely change the landscape of teen mental health.

Besides, for the staggering amount of calls and messages they take through their anonymous hotline, supporting teenagers from all walks of life navigate the 

challenges they are facing , JTeen also organizes workshops, training events and is bringing New material to school curriculums to further advance positive change in teenage mental health.

Sitting down with Yitzi Bude  from charity extra was really eye-opening. Sometimes we think that people just make it to wherever they are without realizing that behind the success that we see today is actually a journey. Sometimes a very hard journey. Many small pieces of a complicated puzzle. Slowly painstakingly falling into place until the picture starts to take shape. 

Charity extra collectively is on route to reaching a billion pounds raised for charities across the world. Here is yitz story of how he pushed through A challenging financial landscape until his picture began to take shape. 

With thanks to our corporate sponsor Maxim Cohen from the UK finance group for his continuous support of this podcast. 

Thank you for listening. Enjoy this week's episodes

This week I sat down with Alex Haffner of Fusion Funding.

Alex has been a strong supporter of this podcast since its inception, and through our conversations off air I learnt that there is an entire journey that Alex has been through which he has used to develop a strong mind-set and positive outlook which has helped him get to where he is. I felt this would make for a conversation that many others could learn and gain from.

I hope you enjoy :)

Born and raised in Israel, Asaf completed his university studies and embarked upon his remarkable musical journey. Accompanying several bands in his home country and from an early stage acting as both musician and band leader, Asaf left for Amsterdam to study his main love, Jazz.

After six years of intense study, gigging in Jazz bars and at many private events all over Europe and graduating with outstanding scores in Jazz piano, a chance meeting with Jeremy led to the start of a fantastic bond between the two, which eventually brought Asaf to London.

A more talented, passionate, versatile and energetic musician than Asaf is hard to find, when you put that together with the single minded ambition to create a better product week after week as he does, the results are phenomenal.

Naomi Lerer, CEO of noa Girls in London shares with us some truly profound ideas surrounding mental health in children, teenagers and adults, educating us on the fundamentals surrounding various types of mental struggles & how we as the wider community can learn to understand what we are truly seeing, along with practical tips and advice on how to strengthen the mental wellbeing of ourselves, and of those around us. 

We also discovered that mental health and mental illness are two completely different things which can co-exist if managed correctly. 

⚠️ A word of caution that in this episode we discuss suicidal ideation, self harm and other forms of mental illness. Please consider your surroundings when playing this episode.
