About this listen

One man's journey through wealth, faith, and the high-stakes world of finance.

What happens when a young rabbi sets out to join the wealthy 1%, only to find his dreams leading him into a battle for his soul? Living Dangerously is the powerful memoir of Irwin Katsof’s quest to build wealth without betraying his values—or losing himself in the process.

In this unforgettable story, you’ll discover:

  • Secrets of the Wealthy: How Irwin learned from elite donors and tried to replicate their success
  • The Price of Ambition: Mounting debt, strained relationships, and spiritual drift
  • A Defining Choice: Pursue riches at any cost—or return to a life of meaning and faith

Living Dangerously gives listeners a front-row seat to the seductive promise of success—and the deeper truth that lies beyond the next big deal.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to thrive in business while staying true to what matters most, this honest, soul-searching memoir will leave you inspired and deeply moved.

Start listening today for a story of grit, grace, and coming home to yourself.
