"In this week's episode we sit down with Chaim Ekstein, who brings over 25 years of experience in the financial world.We discuss the human challenges people face, why so many stay stuck in the same habits, how the comfort zone holds them back, and what it takes to start moving toward the kind of life they actually want to live.From there, we talk about whether an employee can be successful in our community, what that looks like in real life, and how it compares to building a business or choosing a more independent path.We also cover Chaim’s new financial course, the ideas behind it, and the common reasons people struggle to take control of their finances.Another part of the conversation focuses on investing — including Bitcoin vs. the S&P 500 — and how to think about long-term planning, risk, and practical financial growth.Overall, it’s a grounded discussion about money, direction, and the everyday obstacles that shape how people grow and make progress.""And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.

From organizing COVID testing in yeshivas to opening The Yingerman — one of the most popular weekly Jewish magazines — and plenty in between, Moshe Gottlieb’s journey as a young entrepreneur is anything but typical.It began with finding and buying a camp for his yeshiva when it was desperately needed, and soon after, a unique sukkah business offering year-round storage and setup services. From there, Moshe threw himself into new challenges — working tirelessly around the clock to arrange COVID testing for yeshivas and kollelim across the community, only to later discover that the entire operation had been part of a scam. But instead of stopping there, he kept moving forward — learning, adapting, and building again.Between those ventures came many more creative ideas, each one shaping his understanding of business, people, and persistence. In this episode, Moshe shares the hard-earned lessons of starting young — the naivety, the risks, and the reality of what it truly takes to succeed.🎧 Listen and enjoy another deep and inspiring conversation — only on ShmueliCast."And as always feel free to share your feedback, we’d love to hear your thoughts and comments.
