About this listen

Hello and welcome to Food, Family, and Philanthropy, the podcast that combines my passions for real estate, family, food, sports, and most importantly, giving back to the community. I'm Michael Nathanson, and for nearly two decades, I've been working in the real estate business in beautiful South Florida.


Throughout my career, I have found that the most rewarding experiences are those that involve giving back to the community. And that's why I decided to create this podcast: to explore how we can all make a difference through the many aspects of our lives. Whether it's supporting local businesses, connecting with loved ones, or getting involved in philanthropic endeavors, I believe we all have the power to positively impact the world.


In each episode, I'll be joined by amazing guests – from restaurant owners to real estate professionals, to family members, friends, and mentors. We will discuss how we can use our passions and resources to create meaningful change in our communities. And, of course, we'll indulge in some delicious food along the way!


So, whether you're a foodie, a philanthropist, a sports fan, or just someone who wants to make a difference in the world, I invite you to join me on this exciting journey. Follow us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, and let's explore the many ways we can positively impact the world through food, family, and philanthropy!

    Hope, Home and Helping Hands with Jane Richardson
    Oct 27 2025

    Michael sits down with Jane Richardson, executive director of Friends of Foster Children, for a heart first conversation about building stability and joy for kids in Palm Beach County. Jane shares her path into nonprofit leadership and the programs that meet families where they are, including kinship navigators for relatives who step in overnight, a fatherhood program for dads learning to parent, and navigating adulthood support for youth aging out of care. They talk about the recent Impact 100 award, foster parent night out, emergency bags that offer dignity on day one, and the holiday drives that turn community generosity into real relief. You will also catch local food favorites, a little sports banter, and practical ways to help through time talent and treasures. Listen in and leave inspired to make sure no child feels forgotten.

    We pull up a chair with Tamika Taylor, founder of Impact Achievement Learning Center, whose mission is to give every child a safe place to be seen, supported, and taught to read with confidence. We talk favorites from Lemongrass’s Sex on the Moon roll to taco spots and the perfect chicken wing partner, then shift to family and sports as Tamika shares proud moments from raising four sons, including a New England Patriot. From phonics and fundamentals to character and confidence, we explore how her center is moving students who are years behind into real progress with patience, love, and a personalized plan. We also highlight her upcoming fundraiser on November 6, 6 to 8 pm at Throw Social in Delray, with tickets and details at impactachievementcenter.com.

    Sep 29 2025

    Michael sits down with Monica Hadvigerova, founder of Military Recreational Divers, Inc., to explore how ocean therapy and scuba bring healing, resilience, and community to veterans living with PTSD and other invisible wounds. We trace Monica’s journey from pro tennis to combat sports to service, hear the story of her husband’s path from Desert Storm to recovery through the water, and learn how monthly dive charters create connection that lasts well beyond the boat. We also talk family, food favorites, and why small donations make a big difference for certification, gear, and getting vets back into the ocean. Monica shares details for the MRD gala on November 7 at the Renaissance Marina in Fort Lauderdale at 6:30 PM and offers simple ways listeners can spread the word, donate, and get involved.
