349: Lessons in Entrepreneurship with Business Coach, Nathalie Garson
B”H
My guest today on Jewish Money Matters Podcast is a power house with great energy, CEO of Born To Do Business, and Founder of the Global Network for Jewish Women Entrepreneurs & Leaders, Nathalie Garson. You’ll hear her speak very frankly about her journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship. Nathalie and I talk about the challenges and lessons learned in scaling her own business. The common themes she sees in her work as a business coach, the difference between the start up and the scaling stage. I enjoyed demystifying these processes and journeys with Nathalie and acknowledging both the challenges as well as the tremendous reward. How do money blocks and limiting beliefs show up in our businesses, and get this, there’s one that so many of us have inherited just by virtue of having been trained and used to corporate life. Listen up to learn what it is. And of course, how and why did Natalie end up also adding to her work load, running a non-profit – The Global Network for Jewish Women Entrepreneurs & Leaders? Here’s Nathalie Garson.

343: An Honest Look at Honesty Part 2 with Rabbi Levi Landa
B”H
Today in Jewish Money Matters Podcast we’re talking about honesty – financial honesty. This is Part 2 of the series An Honest Look At Honesty, with Director of Project 432 Rabbi Levi Landa.
Project 432 is a division of The Aleph Institute, bringing awareness and education to the Jewish community, so that we can live life according to the highest Torah and legal standards.
Presumably we all know there’s a line we would never cross. Do we? When and how does the line get blurry for people? Today Rabbi Landa takes the wisdom gained after the fact; the lessons learned from those who’ve faced imprisonment for financial crimes, and unpacks them for us so that we can gain greater awareness and sensitivity about the risks we all face. All? Yes, Rabbi Landa clarifies for us that this is not a fringe issue and this is not something that happens to other people. This is something that happens to decent, honest, people like you and me. You will learn about the things that make us vulnerable, the role of parents, the role of financial pressures and poor communication between spouses, and much more. Here’s Rabbi Levi Landa.
Project 432 is preventing people from making financial mistakes which could lead them to prison, destroying their lives and their family’s lives. Connect with them at p432.org
