Jewish Money Matters

B”H Join Yael’s Free 5-Day Jewish Money Makeover Challenge Starting February 11.   How many charity campaigns do you receive a year having to do with someone’s spouse passing away, leaving dependents in a financial bind? My guess is one too many! Today we’re talking about something we all can do to help every Jewish person in our community who might be financially vulnerable due to not having life insurance, or being under-insured. I’m in conversation with Co-Founder of Life Share, Ari Rosenstein. Life Share is a global, peer-to-peer community where members make a commitment to provide financial support to fellow-members at a time of loss. How does it work exactly? How does it differ from life insurance? Why isn’t it an alternative to life insurance? And yet, why do we all need to come on board, if not for ourselves, as a sponsor for others? We can also enroll soldiers with dependents who are in battle in Israel, and help ensure that should they fall in battle, G-d forbid, their family would be eligible to receive up to $250,000 in immediate financial aid. Ari and I talk about how immediate is immediate? How do sponsorships work? And why Life Share is one of the greatest acts of love for our fellow Jews – including our soldiers, our neighbors, our kids’ teachers, rebbes, and more. Here’s Life-Share’s co-Founder, Ari Rosenstein.

B”H From comic book artist to brand strategist, my guest today let go of dreams, let go of limiting beliefs, and is continuously letting go of smaller versions of herself, and reaching for a higher version. Also, in quite the unexpected way, she overcame a long battle with depression. My guest today broke the 6 figure mark in her business in only 7 months and takes us behind the scenes on that. She’s open about having to take a step back in her business even after she’d “made it,” her comeback, and much more. Today, I’m in conversation with Michelle Mozes. This conversation is not just about entrepreneurship but about life and how we make it more fulfilling and better. We talk about the role of Michelle’s faith, the way she overcame depression and anxiety, her fulfillment framework, her money mindset, and more. Did she achieve her dream of being a Disney employee? No, but as you will soon here she achieved so much more, creatively, mentally, emotionally and financially. And she’s not stopping. Here’s the lovely Michelle Mozes.     The post 363: Designing A Fulfilling Business & Life, with Brand Strategist Michelle Mozes appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H In this episode of Ask Yael Friday on Jewish Money Matters, Yael Trusch talks about the “damsel in distress” role that even ambitious, driven women might be playing, and how it’s hurting them, their husbands and their marriage. She answers a listener who wants to know what should be the roles of a husband and wife who are faced with this challenge of a damsel in distress money narrative or just good old financial challenges.       The post 362: Ask Yael: The Damsel in Distress Shtick & the Role of Husband and Wife appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H Would you like to invest in the Israeli tech sector but are not sure how? Or perhaps you’re wondering whether it’s too risky or whether you should wait till after the war? My guest says no, it’s not too risky. You don’t need to wait.  And she has a solution for you. It’s called Tech Shield. Today I have the legendary Founder of Sarona Ventures, Toot Shani. We talk about her entrepreneurial journey. We talk about how she came into the role of Founding Manager of one of the most impactful Venture Capital firms in the Israeli tech sector, with billions of dollars under management. What was the need she saw, the white space in Israeli Tech, and what did she set out to accomplish? What is Tech Shield and why did Toot and her team at Sarona decide to focus on this right after Oct. 7? What is a Reverse Fund and what is this model trying to do for the Israeli economy? Perhaps you’ll want to be part of it? And if you’re an entrepreneur, skeptical about taking outside capital, Toot will help you rethink that. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or an investor, I know Toot’s passion and the mission of both Sarona and Tech Shield will inspire you. Here’s Toot Shani.    The post 361: Investing in Israeli Tech Now, with Toot Shani appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H Mental Health is the topic of our interview today, something my guest feels is particularly relevant after the experiences of October 7th – whether you were in Israel or outside of Israel, the past almost three months have left a mark on us that my guest says we should not be taking lightly. Today I’m in conversation with Dr. Azi Jankovic. Azi is an American Israeli entrepreneur, educator, and advocate. After two decades of teaching and guiding youth in the formal education system, she moved to Israel and moved into the space of communications, marketing, and entrepreneurship. She has written articles, a book, and produced a top-ranked podcast. Post October 7th, 2023, Azi is engaged in Israel-focused projects and initiatives working to win the PR war, and providing critical support on the ground. Azi holds a doctorate in Education Leadership from the University of Southern California, as well as a Masters in Administration, and Bachelors in Sociology. She has a proven track record leading programs and symposiums, guiding purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and being a voice for change in the spaces of mental health, spirituality, and activism. Azi talks about her experience on Oct. 7th and what life has been like since. She candidly shares her challenges with mental health in an effort to normalize the conversation about the topic, and to help you find the help that you might need without any shame whatsoever. We talk about finances, whether they’re a contributing factor to mental health, and about prioritizing your mental health post Oct. 7th even if you think, “Oh, I don’t have it as bad.” In Azi’s words, “Be vigilant.” Finally, her most exciting initiative yet, Humanity POV, a grassroots social media and PR initiative fighting radical terror and antisemitism, the proliferation of misinformation with facts, education, Jewish values and the truth of the Torah, the Land of Israel and the Jewish people. And yes, you can get involved. You can contact Azi at Azi@DrAzi.co to learn more and see how you can get involved, and you can also make a tax deductible donation at tinyurl.com/anewpov.
