  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pulling Teeth, Publishing Torah (and a Shavuos Conversation on Megillas Rus) ft. Dr. Reuven Mohl
Q: What drew you to dentistry and how did you see work-life balance fitting with your Torah studies?
He explains that seeing the balance and lifestyle of a dentist influenced his career choice, valuing patient relationships and the flexibility to pursue Torah study and writing, while acknowledging dentistry's demanding nature.
Pulling Teeth, Publishing Torah (and a Shavuos Conversation on Megillas Rus) ft. Dr. Reuven Mohl
Q: Tell us a little bit about where you're from and what life was like for you as a kid.
The guest describes growing up in a close-knit modern Orthodox community in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, with a strong emphasis on Torah, education, and philosophy, and details about his family background including his father's philosophy career and the influence of Holocaust survivor stories.
Why This CMO Learns Tanach Every Morning at 4:30am ft. Moshe Isaacson
Q: What practical routines do you follow to maintain learning while managing a demanding schedule?
I wake up very early, around 4:30 to 5:30, and use commutes to prepare shiurim and study. I run Tanach in Depth with a habura, teach weekly daf, and continue learning at home with a family-friendly structure. This consistency keeps learning integrated into daily life without sacrificing family or work commitments.
Why This CMO Learns Tanach Every Morning at 4:30am ft. Moshe Isaacson
Q: How does Tanach inform your marketing philosophy and career decisions?
Tanach teaches pattern recognition and empathy. By understanding audiences and patterns in stories, I tailor messaging to specific needs, not just generic campaigns. This leads to a more solutions-based, customer-centric approach in marketing, which also translates to leadership and team collaboration.
Why This CMO Learns Tanach Every Morning at 4:30am ft. Moshe Isaacson
Q: Tell us about your background and how your early life influenced your approach to learning and work.
Growing up in Pittsburgh with diverse Jewish communities, I developed a love for learning early on. Moving to Yeshiva programs and then making Aliyah allowed Tanach to become a lived experience, not just study. That blend of real-world work with deep Torah study shaped my belief that you must honor both learning and work as two halves of a whole.
