B”H If you like the sound of life without laundry, you will love today’s interview. It’s one of the best entrepreneurial stories I’ve heard so far. But it’s so much more than that. Today in Jewish Money Matters I’m in conversation with Mort Fertel, co-founder and CEO of Poplin, a nationwide peer-to-peer marketplace for laundry. The first and only nationwide laundry service company, Poplin is in 500 markets nationwide, 8,000 zip codes, 48 states solving a problem we all have – we spend too much time doing laundry, time which we could direct elsewhere. Mort’s accomplishments extend beyond his entrepreneurial endeavors. He is a highly acclaimed best-selling author and has been the subject of a captivating documentary directed and written by Toroes Thomas. Mort’s expertise and achievements have garnered significant media recognition, with appearances on Fox Business News, Business Insider, CBS, and NBC, and now Jewish Money Matters. Mort Fertel shares a perspective on money that I want you to pay attention to. He calls his relationship with money, “deliberate” and you’ll soon see how. Not only is it deliberate, but it’s wise and healthy. There’s the need for purpose and profit , the modesty, the intentionality, the importance of saving and investing, not giving too much money to our kids, being charitable and so much more. Pay attention to what he says about modesty and money. There are really wonderful lessons in this interview, that I know if internalized and implemented can change your life in very good ways. So, no this interview is not just about the possibility of life without laundry, it’s about so much more. You will enjoy this one. Here’s the wise Mort Fertel. You can download the Poplin app onto your phone to get started, or you can head over to Poplin.co, where you can learn more about Poplin, create your account so you can hand off your laundry to Poplin’s laundry pros, or hey maybe you want to earn a nice income on the side becoming a laundry pro.

B”H Do you think in hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands? What might be the impact of that in your financial life? Business life? Today on Jewish Money Matters Podcast, I’m in conversation with Estie Starr.  Estie is the Founder of Starr Business Solutions, a multinational business consultancy that’s focused on helping small business owners scale their businesses to make big profits. She believes very strongly that people can build professional and profitable businesses doing what they love, and she’s here to guide them so they can bring their vision to life with a lot more ease. More money, less headache is her tagline and she means business.  Estie has been a certified professional coach for over 12 years. Yes, she can help you turn your talent, hobby, certification or skill into a professional and profitable business. While Estie says there is no one path to do that, we get very specific into the business fundamentals and marketing principles that you need regardless of what type of business you’re in.  She was born with a knack for business, but business wasn’t always in the plans. In fact, while she had been an entrepreneur since the age of ten, she ended up as a business coach in a roundabout way that turned out to be just perfect, positioning her to better understand and serve her clients. Almost as if by chance there’s a spiritual and religious journey here too. Listen to the surprising reason why she majored in marketing, and the journey that led her into the business coaching world.  You can find her at estiestarr.com, instagram or linkedin @estiestarr.

B”H Calling all budding entrepreneurs in the audience; those of you are just starting, or maybe thinking of starting your own venture.  There’s so much to learn from today’s conversation. My guest today is fashion designer Rivky Itzkowitz.  How did Rivky go from a girl who loved looking at designs on the runways and red carpets of the world to an entrepreneur. The shocking, unexpected realization she had as a wholesaler selling her designs to clothing stores catering to the modest Jewish consumer, and how that led to a major pivot in her business. Rivky now designs and sells one of the very few, if not only, size inclusive modest fashion lines in the market, in addition to being a voice of reason, support, and education, around the topics of diet culture, body image, and weight stigmas. And of course, teaching you how to dress for your shape not your size – something I have to admit I only through this conversation. We talk about pricing, time management, the social media “monster,” and more. Commonsensical, no nonsense business advice, well – life advice – take notes ya’ll,  from the delightful and hilarious Rivky Itzkowitz.  You can find Rivky @impact.fashion.nyc and impactfashionnyc.com and be sure to catch me on her podcast, Be Impactful.    The post 369: Be Impactful and more with Rivky Itzkowitz, Founder of Impact Fashion appeared first on Yael Trusch.
