Career Canvas – Details, episodes & analysis

Sustainable building is so much more than solar panels.
Benji and Laurel didn’t just join the green building movement, they’re helping shape it in Israel. As engineers and architects, they guide developers through certifications like LEED and Israel’s 5281, while designing spaces that prioritize health, sustainability, and long-term savings.
This episode dives into their career journeys from Canada and the U.S. to Tel Aviv skyscrapers and explores sustainable design trends like biophilic buildings, smarter cooling systems, and creative urban planning for a near future which Israel's population doubles to 20 million residents. We also talk about their favorite energy innovations, why public transit is the next big piece of the puzzle, and what the title of their book would be (wanna send a guess?).
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to build better from the ground up this one’s for you.

There is a way to make your email more organized!

Eliezer Steinbach didn’t just found Inbox Zero, he built it bootstrapped as a solo developer, marketer, and customer support rep. His AI-powered email assistant helps bulk unsubscribe from email lists, blocks cold emails, auto-draft replies, and finally reclaim their inbox sanity.

Do each of your shekels (or dollars) have a job?

Nadav is already known as the premiere financial advisor for young professionals in Israel but did you know he also co-founded a tech startup (where he hired me as a student) and non-profit focused on giving spiritual leaders the tools to support their congregants with mental health challenges?

We talked the state of financial literacy for children/teens, the future of cash, the why behind free guides, two podcasts recommendations (which I already started listening to), and a whole lot more.
