What if wealth isn't just about maximizing returns — but about maximizing well-being?

In this episode of Resilient Riches, Yair Klyman sits down with Meir Statman, one of the founding voices of behavioral finance, to explore how money, emotion, values, and life satisfaction are deeply intertwined.

Dr. Statman has spent over 50 years teaching and researching finance, holding academic positions at institutions including Columbia University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Santa Clara University. He is the author of A Wealth of Well-Being: A Holistic Approach to Behavioral Finance, a groundbreaking book that challenges the traditional idea that people are purely rational wealth-maximizers.

In this conversation, Yair and Dr. Statman move beyond spreadsheets and returns to discuss how people actually experience money — and why so many financially successful individuals still feel anxious, constrained, or afraid to spend what they've earned.

They explore real-world questions clients wrestle with every day:

• Why do people fear running out of money even when the numbers clearly say they won't?

• Why is spending from savings emotionally painful for so many people?

• How do values, family dynamics, and culture shape financial decisions?

• What role should money play in supporting family, community, and legacy?

• How can advisors help clients live better lives — not just grow portfolios?

Dr. Statman shares powerful stories from his research and life, including insights on generational wealth, charitable giving, endowments, retirement spending, and why "dying with the most money" is not a meaningful goal. He reframes financial planning as a form of well-being management, comparing life to a diversified portfolio that includes family, health, purpose, community, and meaning — not just assets.

Yair also brings the discussion into a practical, client-focused lens, drawing from his work with families, business owners, and members of the Jewish community navigating high costs of living, tuition, legacy planning, and multigenerational responsibility.

This episode is especially relevant if you:

• Feel stressed about money despite doing "everything right"

• Struggle with spending after a lifetime of saving

• Are thinking about legacy, family support, or charitable impact

• Want a healthier, more human relationship with wealth

• Believe money should support life — not dominate it

This is not an episode about getting rich fast. It's about using money wisely, intentionally, and in alignment with what actually matters.

🎧 Listen now to gain a deeper, more holistic perspective on wealth — and how to use it to enhance your life and the lives of others.

Antisemitism isn't just showing up online or on college campuses anymore. It's showing up at work.

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, for an unfiltered conversation about what's actually happening beneath the surface — in corporate America, hiring decisions, boardrooms, shareholder meetings, and public institutions.

Jonathan brings a rare perspective: a career spanning Silicon Valley startups, Starbucks, Google, the White House, and now more than a decade leading one of the world's most influential civil rights organizations. Together, we explore why antisemitism has accelerated so sharply in recent years, why many traditional approaches are no longer enough, and what it means to respond with clarity instead of fear.

We discuss:

• Why antisemitic attitudes in the U.S. have more than doubled in recent years

• How antisemitism is manifesting inside workplaces, hiring pipelines, and promotions

• What BDS looks like in the boardroom — and how it's being challenged through shareholder action

• Why "being Jewish quietly" is no longer a viable strategy

• How Jewish values can be a source of strength, leadership, and long-term success

• What it means to be "long on America" while staying honest about the challenges ahead

This conversation isn't about politics or headlines. It's about identity, courage, and what it takes to show up fully — at work, in public life, and in community — at a moment when neutrality comes with a cost.

If you've been asking:

• Are we losing?

• Is it safe to be visible?

• What does leadership look like right now?

This episode gives language, context, and a grounded path forward.

Is tech really the fast track to wealth — or just a story we tell ourselves?

In this episode of Resilient Riches, Yair Klyman sits down with David Siegel, former CEO / President of Meetup, Investopedia, and Seeking Alpha, for an honest, no-fantasy conversation about what building wealth in tech actually looks like.

David has led multiple high-growth tech companies, experienced two exits, and made some very real (and costly) mistakes along the way. In this conversation, he breaks down the myths most people believe about tech success — and what he wishes more founders, operators, and professionals understood before chasing the next big opportunity.

We cover:

• Why a huge exit doesn't necessarily mean personal wealth

• The hidden danger of raising too much capital too early

• Salary vs. equity — and how to think about the tradeoffs at different life stages

• How dilution quietly erodes ownership over time

• What really drives strong acquisition outcomes (hint: it starts years earlier)

• Why many people feel lost after an exit — and how to avoid that trap

• How to build wealth without burning out your health, family, or identity

This episode isn't about hype, hustle culture, or startup mythology. It's about structure, timing, ownership, values — and making decisions you can live with long after the headlines fade.

If you're in tech, thinking about getting into tech, or trying to understand how wealth, work, and life actually fit together, this conversation will give you clarity most people don't talk about publicly.

Cryptocurrency. Blockchain. Bitcoin. Tokenization.

Most people hear these words constantly — but very few actually understand what's happening beneath the surface.

In this episode of Resilient Riches, we sit down with Yael Tamar, one of the world's leading experts in cryptocurrency, digital assets, and tokenized finance, to finally break it all down in a way that makes sense.

Yael is a global crypto thought leader and the Founder & CEO of Dibs Capital, where she works with family offices, investment banks, broker-dealers, and institutional investors on tokenizing real-world assets and private equity. She's been at the forefront of crypto adoption for over a decade — long before it became mainstream.

Together, we explore:

• What cryptocurrency actually is — beyond the headlines

• How blockchain works as financial infrastructure (and why many people already use it without knowing)

• The difference between Bitcoin, stablecoins, and altcoins

• Why Bitcoin behaves the way it does as an investment asset

• How institutions and governments are using crypto today

• What tokenization means and why major banks see it as the future of finance

• How real-world assets like real estate, private equity, and funds are being digitized

• What everyday investors should understand before dismissing or embracing crypto

We also discuss real-world examples — from unbanked economies to global payment networks — that show how crypto is quietly reshaping how money moves across the world.

Whether you're a seasoned investor, a business owner, or someone who's always felt confused by crypto, this conversation offers clarity, context, and a grounded perspective on where digital assets fit into the modern financial system.

For more than four decades, Rabbi Michael Miller has been one of the most influential and respected figures in New York's Jewish life. As the longtime CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), he built bridges between communities, guided the city through moments of crisis, and helped define what Jewish leadership looks like in the modern era.

Now, for the first time in his public career, Rabbi Miller is taking a political stand — speaking out about the growing threats facing New York's Jewish community and what's truly at stake in the city's upcoming mayoral election.

In this powerful and candid conversation with Yair and David Klyman, Rabbi Miller discusses:

• Why he felt morally and spiritually compelled to make a public statement now

• How political shifts have placed Jewish safety and representation at risk

• What leadership and vision the community needs moving forward

• Why experience matters in protecting both the Jewish people and the city of New York

This is not a partisan discussion — it's a call for clarity, courage, and community. From his 40 years at the helm of one of the city's most impactful Jewish institutions to his reflections on legacy, leadership, and faith, Rabbi Miller's message is both sobering and inspiring.
