    467: From Survival to Trust with Dr. Salomon Imiak

    B”H Join Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore at yaeltrusch.com/bhforbitcoin and use the code jewishmoneymatters to get 25% off. My guest today, Dr. Salomon Imiak, shares a fascinating and emotional story of resilience. He was born in Havana, Cuba to a Jewish family in 1960, right about the time Fidel Castro had come into power. Today he is a very accomplished anesthesiologist in Hollywood, Florida. But, it took him 30 years to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. His story of escaping Cuba and of eventual professional success is not what you might know as the more typical Jewish Cuban American story. Dr. Imiak escaped Cuba in 1985, not to land in Miami to a supportive community, but to face many setbacks and challenges, including of course financial challenges. But, the lessons you will hear from him are priceless. Pay attention to the humility, the mentchlikite, the love of family, of G-d, his Torah, and most outstanding, his perseverance. I think these are lessons our generation and our children’s generation need to hear more of. And above all, notice the role of his dear wife Esther, who I think he might agree is the shining star of this whole interview. And who you will come to love just from hearing about her. Here’s Dr. Salomon Imiak. The post 467: From Survival to Trust with Dr. Salomon Imiak appeared first on Yael Trusch.

    465: When Money Isn’t Safe: Bitcoin, History, and Financial Sovereignty with Josh Varon

    B”H Claim 25% in the course Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore at yaeltrusch.com/bhforbitcoin with code jewishmoneymatters. We spend so much time learning how to earn money, how to invest it, how to grow our wealth. But how often do we actually stop and ask: Is my money really mine? And I don’t mean that in a philosophical or spiritual sense. I mean it in a very real, practical way. Because when you start looking at government policies, inflation, and at what’s happened throughout history—especially Jewish history—it kind of forces you to think about money a little differently. That’s what this conversation is really about. Yes, we’re talking about Bitcoin—but not in the way you might be used to hearing about it. This is not a hype conversation. It’s not about jumping on a trend or getting rich quick. We’re talking about something much deeper: money, ownership, and what we can learn from both financial systems and Jewish history about protecting what we have. All with Josh Varon, the founder of BH for Bitcoin—an educational platform where he teaches Bitcoin through both a practical and a Jewish lens. In this episode, Josh breaks down what Bitcoin is in a way that actually makes sense, why he believes the current monetary system is fundamentally flawed, and how thinking about money through the lens of Jewish history can completely shift the way we approach saving and financial security. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or somewhere in between, this episode is really about understanding—not convincing. And if you want to go deeper, Josh has a great course called Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore.

    463: How Journaling Can Transform Your Money Mindset, Relationships, and More with Merle Saferstein

    B”H Today’s episode of Jewish Money Matters is all about journaling. I love journaling! Do you? Well today you might become a fan too, especially after you learn about its power in helping you heal many areas of your life, including a complicated or challenging relationship with money. My guest today is Merle Saferstein, a pioneer in the field of legacy journaling, Holocaust educator of 26 years, and author of Living and Leaving My Legacy. Through her work, she has helped hundreds of people preserve their stories, and has guided thousands more to use journaling as a tool for healing, clarity, and growth. Today we discuss what legacy journaling is and how it goes far beyond simply keeping a diary, the powerful emotional and psychological benefits of writing, how journaling can help you process trauma, navigate marriage and financial challenges, and uncover what’s really driving your relationship with money. Merle very candidly shares her personal story of financial hardship, and how journaling helped her through it—while also helping her recognize the areas of her life where she needed to change and take responsibility. Ultimately, this conversation isn’t just about journaling, but about doing the kind of inner work that not only changes your life in the present, but ultimately shapes the legacy you leave behind.

    462: Living With the Times: Tatzria–Metzorah & Jewish Money Matters

    B”H Welcome to a new series on the Jewish Money Matters podcast: Living With the Times.  In this episode, Yael explores the connection between Parashat Tatzria–Metzorah and our financial lives through the lens of bitachon—true reliance on G-d.  Drawing from the Targum Onkelos, Midrash, and Talmud, she uncovers how bitachon impacts not only personal financial outcomes, but even the broader reality of redemption.  You’ll also hear powerful stories that illustrate the connection between bitachon and parnassah (sustenance), along with practical tools to strengthen your trust in Hashem—including the transformative practice of reframing, as learned from Parashat Metzorah.

    461: Be Reassuringly Expensive: How to Price, Sell, and Build Confidence as a Creative

    B”H Today we’re getting rid of uncertainty, lack of confidence, and underpricing. Sound familiar? These might be exactly the limitations you’re trying to break free from this time of year. Well, my guest is here to help. Joining me today is Miriam Schulman, and she says you don’t need to be cheaper—you need to be reassuringly expensive. Creatives, this one’s for you… although honestly, these lessons apply across the board. Miriam is a luxury-market messaging and pricing strategist for creative entrepreneurs. She’s the author of Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from Your Creativity and host of The Inspiration Place podcast. She’s been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Igniting Creativity, and Where Women Create. Miriam helps creative entrepreneurs position their work as premium—what she calls “reassuringly expensive”—so they attract clients who value taste, certainty, and execution, not discounts. Today we break down what’s really holding you back from charging more, how to step into certainty, and what it takes to become—yes—reassuringly expensive. Here’s Miriam Schulman.   The post 461: Be Reassuringly Expensive: How to Price, Sell, and Build Confidence as a Creative appeared first on Yael Trusch.
