    Arlan Hamilton: Building Wealth, Freedom & Opportunity from the Ground Up

    In this inspiring episode of A Lighthouse in the Dark, Michael Fishman sits down with entrepreneur, author, investor, and trailblazer Arlan Hamilton for a powerful conversation about resilience, reinvention, business, family, and building a life of purpose after hardship.

Together, they explore entrepreneurship as more than business. It can be a path toward freedom, dignity, ownership, and opportunity. Arlan shares wisdom from her journey helping others build businesses, create wealth, and move toward financial independence, especially people who have been underestimated, overlooked, or left out of traditional systems. This conversation is about what happens when good people are given access, encouragement, tools, and belief. Honest, hopeful, and deeply motivating, this episode is a reminder that where you start does not have to decide where you finish. Because sometimes the darkest chapters become the foundation for building a brighter future. Full episodes can be watched as well on YouTube @alighthouseinthedark channel.

    Dr. Todd Frisch: Why the Face Reveals What the Body Knows

    In this powerful episode of A Lighthouse in the Dark, Michael Fishman sits down with Dr. Todd Frisch, author of WTF: Why the Face, for a fascinating conversation about facial analysis, whole-body health, medical advocacy, and learning to listen to the signals our bodies are already giving us.
