  • Clarity

    Yaakov has the rare ability to ask a question and then actually let the guest answer it. He comes to the podcast prepared, with research done, and then allows the guest to inform. Keep it up!

  • Important podcast for our times

    R’ Wolff is an authentic voice of searching for a meaningful life in an increasingly self absorbed world. His approach to finding your own potential turns the “self-help” genre on its head. He shows us that the truest form of self actualization is using our talents to serve a greater cause and help others. We can only hope to live up to those ideals.
