Together, they explore the intersection of consciousness, technology, and human agency, touching on themes such as free will, the illusion of choice, and how cultural perspectives influence our thinking.

Technology and AI: Anders shares insights from his forthcoming book The Singularity Paradox and discusses how exponential technological growth challenges our understanding of humanity. They delve into the potential of AI to both enhance and diminish human agency and explore ethical questions surrounding its integration into society.
Humility and Leadership: Drawing from The Viking Code, Anders outlines the importance of values-based leadership and interdependence, advocating for a balance between individual ambition and collective well-being.
Philosophical Inquiry: Jason and Anders engage in a rich dialogue about the nature of consciousness, the limits of human understanding, and the philosophical implications of AI advancements.

Matt Dawson (“Dawson”) is a M&A investment banker, corporate investor and small business operator turned multi-record holding endurance and adventure athlete; sought-after public speaker; lifestyle/performance advisor; and founder of Dawson’s Peak Foundation. Beginning project Seven for Soldiers in May 2021, Dawson set multiple records by rapidly completing a previously unheard-of number of global expeditions (in a single year), including summiting the Seven Summits (the highest peak on every continent); skiing to a pole (South Pole); traversing a desert (Mojave); and rowing across an ocean (Atlantic). Although he was on track to additionally ski to the North Pole and fly a single-engine plane around the world during this same year, his plans were delayed due to the global pandemic and Russia/Ukraine events.

Additionally, Dawson set a new world record in May 2024 by becoming the fastest person to ever cross the Mojave Desert on foot – covering 329.5 miles in 7 days, 8 hours, and 45 minutes (solo and unsupported).
Through project Seven for Soldiers, Dawson has exemplified what is possible when we identify a goal and fully apply ourselves.

Dawson is an avid traveler (35+ countries); licensed motorcycle racer; U.S. Navy qualified “Expert” with pistol and rifle; outdoor enthusiast; and IFR licensed fixed wing (airplane) pilot (currently training to add multi-engine rating). In addition, Dawson is Treasurer for the Los Angeles Circle of Giving (a non-profit organization serving the community by helping individuals and families that are experiencing a challenging life event); and has served as a Mentor for the LEAP Foundation in Los Angeles, CA.

I met Aleeza around 2002 when we both attended retreats for a Jewish spirituality organization called Isralight. I am so proud of her amazing success as a Matchmaker and her show Jewish Matchmaking on Netflix. 

• Matchmaking Origins: Aleeza's journey as a matchmaker started organically by setting up friends and recognizing matchmaking as her calling.
• Vision and Goals: The importance of dreaming big and revising goals to align with personal and professional growth.
• Counterintuitive Dating Advice: Aleeza advocates for seeing potential in every date, going with a mindset of "soulmate until proven not," and normalizing the effort to set up others monthly.
• Overcoming Challenges: Jason and Aleeza highlight the value of reframing negative beliefs, whether in dating or professional growth, using tools like mindset shifts and persistence.
• Collaboration and Impact: Both stress the significance of partnerships, mentorships, and creating community support systems in business and personal life.

Topics Covered:

1. The journey from informal matchmaking to becoming "The Jewish Matchmaker."
2. Counterintuitive advice, including "Date them till you hate them" and fostering patience in relationships.
3. How belief systems and reframing language impact dating, relationships, and professional growth.
4. The intersection of personal branding, niching down, and entrepreneurial challenges.
5. The role of collaboration, epigenetics, and community support in achieving long-term success.

From Aleeza Ben Shalom:

• “When you build couples, it builds a community, and you build the world.”
• “Assume that the person you’re dating is your soulmate until proven not.”
• “Everyone can make a match suggestion—one a month—whether it’s for friends, family, or anyone.”
• “Slow down to move fast. Break before the curve so you can gas into it.”
• “Collaboration is your ticket to success; it’s not about competition but about building together.”
• “How we talk about and describe problems often holds the key to unlocking them.”
• “I believe we often set goals too small; what we call a goal is really just an action step.”
• “The worst thing someone can say is yes—because that means you have to rise to the challenge.”
• “Our belief systems are the biggest hurdles in personal and professional growth.”

Recommended Action Items:

1. For Individuals:
   • Adopt Aleeza’s advice: “Date them till you hate them.” Assume potential until proven otherwise.
   • Make one match suggestion a month to connect others, contributing to community well-being.
2. For Entrepreneurs:
   • Reflect on whether your goals are action steps or true milestones. Adjust accordingly.
   • Embrace collaboration and seek out mentors or partnerships to scale your vision.
3. For Personal Growth:
   • Reframe negative beliefs and language about challenges in dating or business.
   • Identify a limiting belief about a partner, colleague, or yourself, and wo

Welcome to the You Winning Life podcast, your premier destination for mastering a positive existence. In this empowering episode, host Jason Wasser, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified entrepreneur coach, sits down with the extraordinary Jay Sapovits, founder and president of Inked Stores.

Jay's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. He's a man who has not only built million-dollar companies but has also navigated the depths of business heartbreak that would deter most. His innovative swag company, Inked Stores, now boasts over $5 million in annual revenue, creating over a thousand online stores for major brands like Pen Entertainment, Door Dash, and Crocs.

In this must-listen conversation, Jay and Jason delve into crucial insights for entrepreneurs and individuals alike:

• From Desperation to Super Talent: Explore Jay's unique ability to see opportunities others miss, which he humorously attributes to "desperation" stemming from a pattern of escapism and a pursuit of happiness early in his career.

• Defining Happiness and Contentment: A fascinating discussion on whether happiness can be a sustainable state of being or merely an experiential moment, with Jay sharing his perspective on achieving an "overarching level of happiness" through his family and satisfying career.

• The Power of Action and Humility: Jay emphasizes that staying active is key to personal happiness, preventing negative mental states. He also highlights the transformative impact of ego suppression and humility in both business and personal relationships, explaining how "nice guys finish first".

• Entrepreneurial Myths Debunked: Jay challenges common fears and excuses holding people back from starting businesses. He advocates for a simple, problem-solution approach: "Find a problem, create a solution, sell it to one person... by the time you've sold it to two people, you have a business".

• Crucial Lessons for Aspiring Entrepreneurs: Learn from Jay's biggest mistake—building a product without selling first—and the importance of market research. He advises against getting "hung up on the idea," emphasizing that you don't need to invent something new; you just need to solve a problem effectively, much like a successful local pizza shop.

• The Value of Integrity and Relationships: Discover how Jay builds and maintains long-term client and staff relationships, prioritizing respect and genuine connection over quick gains, even with major clients like the New England Patriots.

• Recommended Resources: Jay shares two foundational books that influenced him: Jeffrey Fox's "How to Be a Rainmaker" for sales principles and "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty" for networking strategies.

This episode offers invaluable insights into rebuilding after failure, pivoting under pressure, and leveraging unique personal attributes for business success. Jay Sappovitz exemplifies that a fulfilling entrepreneurial journey can be achieved through integrity, self-awareness, and relentless action. Don't miss this candid conversation that promises to empower your personal and professional growth!
