In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with Rabbi Ephraim Ehrenberg for a conversation that begins with Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, Chassidus, and the intersection between psychology and spirituality.As we speak about therapy and the struggles people are carrying today, the conversation gradually moves toward masculinity, sexuality, and human drive. Rabbi Ephraim shares a perspective that reframes the entire discussion: that one of the deepest wounds a person can carry is beginning to experience their own vitality as a liability instead of an asset.We talk about Pagam Habris, Shmiras Habris, repression, marriage, free will, and the challenge of learning how to channel powerful energy without becoming afraid of it. The conversation moves through both practical and spiritual questions, and explores how our relationship with desire often shapes the way we relate to responsibility, ambition, money, and even G-d.Toward the end, we return to the topic of money itself, and why both money and sexuality seem to expose something deeply revealing about the human condition.This was one of those conversations that kept surprising me as it unfolded.See you on the other side,Eli

In this episode of In Search of More, Meir and I sit down to reflect on the journey of Ahdama and the inner work that’s shaped it.What started as an idea has become something much bigger, and this conversation is really about where we are in that process. Not just externally, but internally.We talk about what it takes to hold space for other men while doing your own work in real time. The shift from living on the surface to building something rooted. The responsibility that comes with growth, and the parts of ourselves that resist it.We go inside what actually happens in Ahdama, not the activities, but the environment. The safety, the honesty, and the willingness to sit with what most people spend their lives avoiding.From there, we explore how this work impacts everything else: relationships, money, faith, and identity. How stepping into this kind of work forces you to confront yourself, and ultimately become someone who can hold more.This conversation is a snapshot of where Ahdama is right now - still evolving, still deepening, and still asking more from us.See you on the other side,Eli

In this episode of In Search of More, the conversation with Mordy Richler continues, but this time it turns personal.What starts as a discussion about people who run away from money becomes a live exploration of my own relationship with it. Mordy steps into his role as a “financial therapist,” and together we unpack something rarely spoken about: the fear that can come with success.We explore the strange paradox of building something meaningful while secretly wanting to escape it. What happens when success feels less like a dream and more like a responsibility you didn’t choose? When the higher you climb, the more you feel the risk of falling?The conversation moves through themes of fear, jealousy, responsibility, and faith, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the thing we resist most is the very thing we may be called to do.We also discuss the difference between delegation and abdication, why money requires precision, and how our relationship with responsibility often shapes our relationship with wealth.This episode is less about financial strategy and more about the internal struggle that can exist on both sides of money, whether someone is drowning in debt or quietly running from success.See you on the other side,Eli
