In this episode of In Search of More, the conversation with Mordy Richler continues, but this time it turns personal.What starts as a discussion about people who run away from money becomes a live exploration of my own relationship with it. Mordy steps into his role as a “financial therapist,” and together we unpack something rarely spoken about: the fear that can come with success.We explore the strange paradox of building something meaningful while secretly wanting to escape it. What happens when success feels less like a dream and more like a responsibility you didn’t choose? When the higher you climb, the more you feel the risk of falling?The conversation moves through themes of fear, jealousy, responsibility, and faith, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the thing we resist most is the very thing we may be called to do.We also discuss the difference between delegation and abdication, why money requires precision, and how our relationship with responsibility often shapes our relationship with wealth.This episode is less about financial strategy and more about the internal struggle that can exist on both sides of money, whether someone is drowning in debt or quietly running from success.See you on the other side,Eli

In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with Mordy Richler from Kosher Debt Help for a conversation that begins with debt and quickly moves into something much deeper. We break down credit cards and what really happens when someone falls behind. There is a lot of confusion around how the system works, and we wanted to bring clarity. But as we talk, it becomes clear that debt is rarely just about math. It is usually about what is happening underneath.Mordy shares his own twenty year journey with money, including the immature beliefs, the risky decisions, and the belief that success should have come easier than it did. Over time he realized his financial struggles were not just financial. They were the tip of the iceberg. We explore how debt can mirror addiction, how shame keeps people quiet, and how many people, some who look fine on the outside, are carrying serious pressure. We also look at the moment we are living in where credit is accessible and leverage is normal. Which means the real work today is not access to money but discipline with it.

In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with Rabbi Alon Anava for a deep and honest conversation about money, purpose, and spiritual growth.We begin with something that’s been on my mind a lot lately - our relationship with money. Rabbi Alon shares a powerful framework: food, sexuality, and money as core areas where we’re all being refined. From earning honestly to giving generously, we explore how money can either become an idol, or a tool for elevation.Rabbi Alon also opens up about his past: addiction, crime, jail time and the near-death experience that completely redirected his life. We talk about truth, charity, boundaries in helping others, and what it means to live with urgency in a world that constantly distracts us.This one is real, reflective, and grounded. If you’re thinking about how to live with more intention, especially around money and time, there’s a lot here.See you on the other side,Eli
