Born in Miami to a Brazilian father who rediscovered his Spanish Portuguese Jewish roots, Eliyahu grew up between South Africa, the UK, Brazil, and the United States.

In this episode of the None Of Your Business Podcast, Michael sits down for a one on one conversation with Moe Rabi to talk about social media, authenticity, confidence, and what real success actually looks like behind the scenes.

Moe Rabi shares his journey from being one of the earliest creators in WhatsApp status culture to building a successful career in the healthcare industry.

The conversation dives into confidence, attention, parenting, leadership, and responsibility, especially within the Jewish community and professional world. Moe speaks openly about materialism, using your voice, raising children in a culture of pressure, and balancing faith, business, and enjoyment of life. They also discuss why introspection matters more than trends, and how staying authentic becomes harder as platforms and influence grow.

In this episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, we sit down with Beri Weber for an honest and deeply personal conversation about faith, music, identity, and the price of not fitting into a system that was not built for you.

Beri shares what it was like growing up with a powerful spiritual connection to music at a time when singing was not considered a respectable path. From being punished in school for listening to Reb Shlomo Carlebach, to feeling that music was treated as second class, to being told directly and indirectly that this was not what success was supposed to look like, Beri opens up about the tension between conformity and calling.

We talk about choosing meaning over money, soul over status, and why walking away from a higher paycheck does not always feel like a sacrifice when you are aligned with who you truly are. Beri reflects on the difference between external success and internal fulfillment, the challenges of being too spiritual for structured systems, and how faith shaped every major decision along the way.

This conversation will resonate with anyone who has ever felt boxed in, misunderstood, or pressured to become someone they were not meant to be. It is a powerful reminder that purpose is not always loud, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay true to yourself even when it costs you.

If you have ever struggled with identity, faith, creativity, or choosing the harder but more honest path, this episode is for you.

Shmuel Sackett doesn't shy away from controversy. A student of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the civil disobedience movement Zo Artzeinu, and a convicted felon for sedition in Israel—he's proud of every arrest, every protest, and every stand he's taken for Jewish strength.

In this raw conversation, Shmuel takes us from his days in the Jewish Defense League fighting Soviet Jewry in 1970s New York, to blocking roads at the Russian Embassy, to moving to Israel and getting arrested 15 times fighting the Oslo Accords. He explains why he believes Jews can never afford to be weak again, why Rabbi Kahane was misunderstood, and what it means to fight for redemption instead of waiting for it.

We discuss the fine line between self-defense and national strength, why he thinks every Jew outside Israel is "broken," his vision for a Jewish state following Torah law, and how he's raising over $1 million annually through The Dream Raffle to fund IDF widows, orphans, and Israeli farmers.

This isn't about politics. It's about identity, destiny, and what Jewish pride actually means in 2025.

In this special year-end episode of None Of Your Business Podcast, Michael and Ushy revisit the most powerful moments from 2025 the conversations that stopped us mid-recording, the stories that challenged how we think, and the guests who reminded us what resilience really looks like. From Jonathan Pollard digging graves on Mount Herzl the night of October 7th, to Noiky Roberts watching a painfully shy student cry tears of joy over a test score. From Ellie Cohanim's family escaping Iran on one of the last flights out, to Yossi Green's 12-hour plane conversation that brought two strangers back to Judaism. From Shlomie Zionce's breakthrough after years of rejection, to Shimmy Jay getting fired from a pizza shop lunch and turning it into his biggest break. From Fally Klein learning Gemara despite reading difficulties, to Abby Wolin opening her business books to the world when everything felt like it was falling apart.

These aren't just success stories. They're pivots, failures, moments of clarity, and the decisions that came after. The conversation covers October 7th, Jewish identity, entrepreneurship, mentorship, grief, faith, career transitions, knowing your worth, and what it takes to rebuild when everything changes.

In this episode of None Of Your Business, Michael sits down with Dr. ShaRone David Kushnir, a clinical psychologist with a unique background as a former concert pianist and artist, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation on human behavior, mental health, and transformation.

Dr. Kushnir shares his journey from the world of music and film scoring into psychology, including his work inside the prison system with violent offenders and inmates on death row.

Rabbi Ari Senter joins the None of Your Business podcast to unpack one of the most misunderstood industries in the world—kosher certification. As Executive Director of the Kof-K, one of the most prominent kosher agencies in the world, Rabbi Senter walks us through how this highly structured system actually operates, what companies like Unilever and Pepsi are really looking for, and why kosher symbols carry both economic weight and religious significance.

In this episode, Rabbi Senter explains the origins of his family-run organization, his personal hesitations about taking on the rabbinate, and the emotional toll of leading a community while managing a complex global operation. He doesn’t shy away from controversial topics—addressing the accusation that kashrus is a mafia, explaining the ethics behind pricing, and revealing how Kof-K handled the Ben & Jerry’s political firestorm over Israel.

This conversation is thoughtful, surprising, and deeply human. Whether you keep kosher or not, it’s a rare chance to hear the real story from someone who lives at the intersection of faith, business, and leadership.

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.

In this episode of None Of Your Business, Michael sits down with the founders of Ohr Shlomo for a raw and deeply honest conversation about spirituality, growth, and what it really means to build a community that changes lives.

What started as a small Carlebach style minyan has evolved into something much bigger, a movement centered around music, connection, and personal transformation. The guys share how Ohr Shlomo came to life, the challenges of building a shul without a traditional structure, and why creating leaders, not followers, became the mission.

The conversation goes far beyond the origin story. They dive into the power of davening through music, how Shabbos can transform your entire week, and what it looks like to grow spiritually while balancing real life, work, and responsibility. There is also an honest discussion about anger, ego, jealousy, and self awareness, and how shifting your mindset can completely change how you experience life.

They also explore concepts like Hisbodedus, personal prayer and meditation, building a relationship with Hashem, and why talking to God in your own words might be one of the most powerful tools a person has.

What makes Ohr Shlomo different is simple but rare. It is not built around one leader. It is built around people growing together, supporting each other, and creating something real that extends beyond the walls of a shul and into everyday life.

This episode is about more than a place. It is about a mindset, a way of living, and a reminder that growth, connection, and meaning are available to anyone willing to look deeper.

None Of Your Business is a podcast about real conversations and real journeys. No scripts. No filters. Just people sharing experiences you can actually learn from.

Laibel reveals how he creates impact-driven content for major brands, solves real business problems through video, and why authenticity is the most powerful marketing tool of all.

In this inspiring episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Michael Greenfield and Ushy Schwartz sit down with David “Dudi” Mashinsky, a former Rebbe who went from teaching Alef-Bais with a guitar to leading multi-million dollar healthcare renovation projects. His journey is anything but conventional—and it’s packed with lessons on creativity, grit, and trusting your instincts.

David opens up about his early days in the classroom, using music as a tool for learning, and how his childhood love of doodling architecture turned into a real-life design empire. What started with one nursing home lobby has evolved into Dynamic Design, a one-stop-shop design-build firm that’s redefining the aesthetics of senior care across the country.

He breaks down how he transitioned from chinuch to construction, why most operators hate dealing with designers and contractors, and how his all-in-one solution has changed the game for healthcare facilities. From a flooded New Jersey nursing home reborn in six months to a million-dollar rehab gym in a cathedral-style chapel, David’s projects speak for themselves—but it’s the man behind the brand that will really leave you inspired.

This episode is also a must-listen for Rebbeim and educators facing burnout, or anyone contemplating a career pivot. David shares real talk about building confidence, learning from failure, and why chasing your passion will always take you further than chasing trends.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job, unsure of how to turn your side passion into a real business, or just want to hear the raw, real story of someone who made it happen against the odds, this episode is for you.

David “Dudi” Mashinsky proves that sometimes the most powerful transformations start with a guitar, a sketchpad, and a whole lot of faith.
