Finding Home

You also might know Ben from his time as a creative director of the world famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band. He’s also a film producer, entrepreneur, and even a member of the band where he plays tuba and bass. I’ve known Ben since childhood. I grew up running around Preservation Hall with my best friend, Ben’s cousin. We talk all about New Orleans, and the role that he and Preservation Hall play in it. We talk about the history and founding of Preservation Hall, what it’s like to be a touring musician, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and more. You’ll want to stick around until the very end, where Ben dives into an amazing story about when the superdome was reopened after Hurricane Katrina. [2:00] Hello again Ben Jaffe!

Missed us? After a summer recess, Finding Home is BACK folks - and we’re better than ever before. Home means something different to everyone. It's a place, it's a feeling. After moving from California, to Austin, to Montana, and traveling the country for years overseeing one of the largest real estate brokerage firms in the United State, home means all of the above for Chris Heller. And home is about maintaining a fresh, innovative mindset. Heller is the former CEO of Keller Williams Realty International, and the current Chief Real Estate Officer of OJO Labs. OJO is using Artificial Intelligence to change the way people find what they love, and homes that work for them. We discuss how he became the number one agent in Keller Williams in the entire US, and how he’s grown into one of the most sought-after thought leaders in the business. We also discuss one of the hardest things to do in business: telling people what they don’t want to hear. Chris even went on to write a best-selling real estate book offering easy-to-digest advice, Dominant Thoughts! Enjoy this conversation featuring one of real estate’s trailblazers, Chris Heller.

Joe Rojas is a reminder, a testament, to the power, the will, the drive of humanity. Despite the adversity of having no home, he, quite literally, defined what home meant to him. In his quest to do so, he’s inspired hundreds of people, and transformed so many businesses along the way. If you take away anything today, take away this: mindset is everything. Joe’s worked from everything to being a bouncer to now an entrepreneur - and “sucked at business” before flourishing, in a wild ride of a life. Joe has an unbelievable story from a homeless dumpster diver as a kid who left school in the 6th grade to becoming a transformational leader. Today we talk about everything from being homeless to creating the definition of home for yourself - to unpacking the essence of becoming an unshakeable author of your life.

Fighting Climate Change on Wheels: Featuring 2030 or Bust Founder & Climate Activist Laughlin Artz What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make - Laughlin Artz decided to make his impact on climate change through an unconventional way: skateboarding. Laughlin Artz's Skate of the Union is a tour of the country to engage people in ending the current climate crisis. And he’s killing it. Laughlin is taking action every day. Now more than ever, our actions matter more than they ever did before. His 2030 or Bust organization is all about taking concrete actions - and busting the current mindset that “nothing can be done”. The mission of 2020 or Bust is to mobilize the global community to end the climate crisis and to rally the world around the next five years as our make-it-or-break-it window of opportunity to get on track to making that happen. Today’s episode is about self-starting, taking action, and unifying people. It’s also about reminding ourselves that it is NEVER too late.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a professional storyteller? To learn how narrators are able to evoke emotion, describe imagery, and immerse us in another world with such ease? Now imagine doing this without visuals. This week’s episode is a special one - and you aren’t going to want to miss it. This week’s episode is all about storytelling, and how our voices can be a powerful medium of connection, community, and our diverse mosaic of adventures. This week’s guest, Edoardo Ballerini is an expert (he won the oscar equivalent for narration) quite literally giving voice to stories - and bringing them to life. For his work as a narrator, Edoardo Ballerini is a two time winner of the Audio Publishers Association's Best Male Narrator award, and a two time winner of the Society of Voice Arts Award. He has recorded over 400 audiobooks, from classics by Tolstoy, Walt Whitman and Jack London, to modern best sellers by Amor Towles, James Patterson, and David Baldacci. You might have caught his profile in the New York Times, which called him, appropriately, "The Voice of God." On screen he is best known for his work in "The Sopranos" and the indie hit "Dinner Rush." He is currently filming the new Hulu series "Retreat," due out in 2023. We talk about stories at bedtime, accents, whether it’s more fun to read fiction or non-fiction and how it’s different, how recording the bible affected the way he thought about religion, the variety of accents he grew up with, how he went from screen actor to voice narrator and back, and how reading so much incredible literature changed him and inspired him to write an audible original story with Jess Walter called ‘The Angel of Rome.” I hope you enjoy my conversation with Edoardo Ballerini!

After falling in love with New York City real estate on Bravo, Chloe Chasanoff, another member of the Harris Residential Team, was determined to be in the industry. However, Chloe learned that the real estate industry is not all expensive lunches at Nobu and travel by jet. Oftentimes, it is less glamorous - it is heavy lifting furniture, compiling board packages, and the like. Today’s episode, Chloe and I are here as your myth busters. We debunk the common misconceptions of working in real estate, look at how deals actually get made, and some stories of how we put our deals together for our clients. Chloe grew up in a Real Estate family, surrounded by real estate developers and investors in the New York area for more than 60 years. A passion and drive for Real Estate emerged, along with an innate ability to help buyers find their next home. From a young age, Chloe was intrigued by the lifestyle of real estate agents. In 2019, she joined the Harris Residential Team and has been a broker with us ever since.

What does “leader” actually mean? Is it charisma? Is it skill? Or is it something else? Tony Smith, cofounder of VSA Consulting Group asks himself this question every day. But, despite popular belief, Tony reveals that things like “charisma” or “skill” or “personality” are attributes of a leader, but not what makes a leader, a leader. Rather, Tony describes leadership as being much more. It’s about inspiring the future. This week Tony and I discussed an important, but an often overlooked thing - transformational leadership. Since 1985, Tony has been advocating, practicing, and coaching transformational leadership, which empowers the performance of corporate CEOs, executives, public leaders, and entrepreneurs to reach business success that exceeds any reasonable expectation. Tony’s leadership coaching was beneficially influenced and draws upon the work of Werner Erhard, Michael Jensen, Jeri Echevarria and Steve Zaffron through a online course called Being a Leader: The Effective Exercise of Leadership which can be found online under: Being a Leader, Werner Erhard, SSRN (Social Science Research Network).

What are the good ingredients? This is a question Jordan Zucker asked herself before writing her personable, funny, creative book, “One Dish: Four Seasons”. On today's episode I get to talk with Renaissance Woman Jordan Zucker and her dog Hula. Jordan is a creator. We spend most of today talking about her latest book, a cookbook called One Dish: Four Seasons, and we get all into it. I’m so excited for you guys to connect with Jordan, check out her work and new cookbook, and follow along as she continues to mix it up in the kitchen and keep us laughing while she’s doing it! Food, drink and music. These are the good ingredients. They are ever present in our lives, especially when we slow down a bit to enjoy them. I hope you'll slow down and enjoy this conversation with me and Jordan Zucker.

How do we find inner stability? How do we manage all the fear, uncertainty, anxiety? How do we create and move forward with certainty in uncertain times? It’s easier said than done. But, today, John and I tackle these fears. We navigate creating certainty in even the most uncertain of times. We offer you with all the tools you need to feel centered; talk about meditating, the law of polarity, mindfulness, and so much more. My hope is that each of you out there will find some value in this conversation. If you are looking for me just to ride the waves of whatever craziness is in the news today, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. Today, I'm thinking about Finding Home as finding an unshakable center in the midst of this chaos.

I’ve heard from therapists that this could be the GOLDEN AGE of therapy. Across the globe, we’ve all had two years to come to grips with not only what’s been going on around the world, but what’s been going on inside us. And we need some help finding our way back home. I had a chance to catch up with brilliant psychologist and trauma specialist, and my cousin, Dr. Alana Siegel. Alana completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University. She then earned her doctorate in Clinical and School Child Psychology at Yeshiva University. Fun fact, for those who have been here before, you’ll recognize Alana from my very first episode of Finding Home, on the “Power to Process”. We’ll discuss everything there is to know about creating safe spaces, processing the impact of Covid-19. We also talk about the similarities in experience, and the differences, between soldiers and doctors, in the US and in Israel, where Alana is based. We speak about the universal fear we experience of losing a loved one, and so much more. We talk about Alana’s background, her path into trauma psychology, and her vital discovery that “the external stress of Covid-19 led us, led people to cohere, to come closer together”. Conversations like this one, especially when we are talking about our more difficult times as humans, but Alana’s research is a reminder that, in the hardest of times, human beings get through it, together.

Home is certainly much more than longitude and latitude. For Jesse Stein, the founder and CEO of Audience.co, learning to appreciate home meant pulling his three kids out of school and traveling to dozens of countries in a year / That certainly creates a different sense of home. And it creates a lot of possible postcards to send to the people you love. and a lot to bring back in terms of what you've learned. Love can come through things as simple as a handwritten note. Jesse built his business around sending notes like this. But here, you're not sending them to people you necessarily know, but sharing what you know in a new, old way. Who doesn't like a handwritten note? We've come back to the old school, where their notes get a 90% read rate and 6X the response of normal direct mail. As we all experienced during the pandemic, feeling connected to one another online can be difficult - but people like Jesse are a testament to our ability to feel close to one another, through things as simple as a handwritten note to your clients. It’s a great reminder to keep it personal, and not transactional. And a great reminder that meaningful connections create good business. Clients are people first. We discuss how home can be made with a father halfway across the country and grandparents across the street. How it really does take a village to raise kids, and how important it is to have time and space to think and consider how to take your life to a new level. If a home can help you do that, it's doing its job! It’s a great conversation, and there’s so much we can learn from Jesse about how to feel closer to one another, and the importance of creating a personable relationship with your clients. I hope you enjoy it. Shownotes: [2:00] Introduction to Jesse Stein! [8:23] Gaining Perspective, Childhood, Hippie Movement [10:50] Glass Half Full!

I started this podcast because I wanted to celebrate people who have found their passions, and put them to use in a number of different ways. I got to sit down for the second time with Liam Elkind, and dive into his community work, specifically the creation of his organization “Invisible Hands”, a non-profit community of organizers and volunteers delivering groceries, prescriptions, and other necessities to the elderly, sick, homebound, and people with disabilities. Liam is a testament to the importance of community, of selflessness, and of determination. Today’s conversation is all about compassion and community. Whether you are walking your dog or taking a lunch break, tune in today to listen to what Finding Home is truly about.

Nothing turns a house more quickly into a home than food. The smells and the tastes can instantly transport you back to a particular time and place. With the Jewish holiday of Purim rapidly approaching, this episode is particularly great. We have with us food writer Rachel Ringler, who is helping us discover amazing Jewish foods both in and out of New York City. Rachel Ringler is a museum docent, challah instructor and cook who has strong feelings about the important role food plays in life, in family, and in community. You might know her from her myriad of food-think pieces she has written for The Foward and Mudrack. She gracefully reminds us that food is not just a biological necessity, but a vital philosophy that can transform our lives, our relationships, and our communities. We talk about everything from why Israeli food is finally getting the spotlight, to why we forget about the power of a meal and a nap, and to how she came to be in the kitchen of a famous Israeli hotel baking challah for over 200 people. Come join us for an intimate conversation about the power of food as more than just necessary physical nourishment, but a stronghold for our spiritual and emotional needs as well. Today, Rachel and I dynamically reach an important truth of life: Food is Home. And Home is Food.
