In this raw, honest, and empowering conversation, Mattis Gilbert, CEO of RSK, joins us to reveal the hidden financial struggles plaguing families that “look” like they have it all together. From luxury cars to pristine weddings, the pressure to keep up is real — but what if true wealth is peace of mind, not a paycheck?

Mattis breaks down why income doesn’t equal stability, and how so many families are suffering silently under the weight of debt, expectation, and lifestyle inflation. He shares how RSK is changing lives by offering real, actionable financial coaching — not just to those in desperate need, but to the forgotten middle: the families who earn good money but still can’t breathe.

This episode challenges everything you thought you knew about money. It’s not just about budgets or spreadsheets — it’s about mindset, marriage, mental health, and building a future that actually works.

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing well but still barely staying afloat, this conversation is for you. And if you’ve ever believed that more money was the answer, it’s time to think again.

Don’t just watch — reflect. Then share this with someone who needs to hear it.

Biking Battles with Spandex Warriors The 100 Ride 2025 with Uri Kirschner

In this inspiring and entertaining episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael and Ushy sit down with real estate attorney and community trailblazer Uri Kirschner to uncover the stories behind the suit. From 30 years in law to launching grassroots chesed projects, Uri has mastered the art of doing good—quietly, but with massive impact.

Uri shares the story of how a simple conversation sparked the now-famous 100 Ride, a cycling fundraiser that has raised hundreds of thousands for local families in need. He also opens up about his roots in Washington Heights, the rich traditions of the Yekke community, and why carrying on that legacy through chesed, humility, and action is what truly matters.

From wild real estate closings (including one while hooked to an IV!) to running boutique second-hand clothing shops out of his home, Uri's life is packed with meaning, motion, and mitzvos. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll probably want to do more good after listening.

In this episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael Greenfield and Ushy Schwartz sit down with Michael Specht, Town Supervisor of Ramapo, for an unexpectedly candid, smart, and often hilarious look at what it’s really like to run one of the most dynamic—and sometimes controversial—towns in New York.

Specht talks about everything from being labeled “the North Korea of Rockland County” to turning Ramapo into a model of transparency, growth, and fiscal accountability. He opens up about the town’s complex finances, political tension, and why he proudly raised the Israeli flag at Town Hall after October 7th—and refused to take it down.

If you've ever wondered how local government really works, how to fix a broken reputation, or what it takes to manage a $132 million municipal budget while dodging pothole complaints and political landmines, this episode is a must-listen.
