Ellin Bessner will return next week. Today, we're bringing you the latest episode of Menschwarmers, The CJN's Jewish sports podcast. Subscribe to Menschwarmers here. In July, the New York Yankees drafted a Canadian shortstop from Wyoming, Ont., named Core Jackson. They did so despite knowing that Jackson, as a 17-year-old freshman at the University of Nebraska, had drawn a swastika on a Jewish student's dorm room while he was, he later told The Athletic, "blackout drunk." But this isn't a run-of-the-mill case of antisemitism. By all accounts, according to the Yankees' ground scouts and the recent investigation by The Athletic that ran Aug. 20, Jackson was, simply, acting like an ignorant drunk teenager, and was forthright about the incident with teams before the draft. The team did significant due diligence, engaging with New York's Jewish community and sending scouts to learn about Jackson's family and personality. The resulting story is less about the insipid rise of casual antisemitism, and more about the power of forgiveness when people—especially teenagers—make mistakes and try to do better. Keith Law, a longtime baseball journalist and former front office worker with the Toronto Blue Jays, broke this story for The Athletic. He joins us to share his impressions of Core Jackson and how the Yankees are viewing this opportunity. After that, podcast hosts Gabe and Jamie run through this year's hottest Jewish sports movies, from Happy Gilmore 2 to both Safdie brothers' award-season offerings, The Smashing Machine and Marty Supreme. Then they give a quick NFL preview and recap Zach Hyman's ceremonial opening of the new ice hockey rink at the Schwartz/Reisman Jewish Community Centre in Vaughan.

What if there was a "third place" in retail media that went beyond product pages and high-level brand communications? Brad Godwin, SVP of CPG Partnerships at Breaktime Media, reveals how brands can create meaningful connections with shoppers through personalized digital experiences.The retail landscape is evolving rapidly, with value now encompassing far more than just price. Today's consumers seek experiences, trust, and relationships with brands. Breaktime Media addresses this by building what Godwin calls "experiences you want to put on your fridge" – digital brand pages that combine personalization, storytelling, and seamless commerce.For CPG brands facing complex product assortments, Breaktime's approach offers a compelling solution. Rather than overwhelming shoppers with options, their interactive quizzes and personalized recommendations help consumers quickly find the right products for their needs. This personalization drives tangible results, with an average $2.87 incremental return on advertising spend.What makes Breaktime's model particularly attractive is its performance-based structure. They build brand experiences at no upfront cost, charging only for actual customer engagements. This "cost per human engagement" approach ensures brands pay for results, not just impressions.Through a new partnership with Walmart Connect, Breaktime is also reimagining retail events by extending physical demonstrations into the digital realm. This allows brands to maintain deep customer connections while dramatically increasing reach and improving measurement.At its core, Breaktimes philosophy centers on human connection. As Godwin thoughtfully notes in the episode, "We're all trying to do the same thing – we want connection with each other, we want to be known, we want to be seen and loved." In an increasingly digital retail world, perhaps that human element matters most of all.Ready to transform how customers experience your brand online? Discover how personalized digital experiences can drive meaningful engagement and conversion for your products.

What do you do when your only options are a job you don't want or a business that doesn't exist yet? Angus Willows, the founder of Kangaroo Hanger, chose the harder path — and made it work. As a college student with a 3D printer under his bed, he designed a better hanger, taught himself how to file a patent, launched a second business to fund it and bet everything on a TikTok challenge that changed his life.But this isn't just a story about going viral. It's about building something real without a safety net and how you could trust yourself long before the world gives you permission. Host Andrea Marquez unpacks how Angus bootstrapped his way from a scrappy cardboard prototype to retail shelves and why he kept going, starting business after business, even when the stakes got higher. If you've ever wondered whether you're ready, Angus' story might show you that readiness isn't the goal — resilience is.Got a bold leap of your own?

"Trading is like the biggest personal development course you will ever take." This insight from bestselling author Anmol Singh reveals how market psychology mirrors entrepreneurial mindset challenges.Starting as an introverted college student in his dorm room, Anmol discovered that successful trading requires the same emotional discipline that drives business success. He shares how he developed "robotic indifference" – staying loyal to his predetermined plan rather than letting fear and greed dictate decisions.Bestselling author of "Prepping for Success," Anmol coaches hedge fund managers on trading psychology while empowering professionals through his Evolve Mastermind community. Having trained 10,000+ individuals to create their ideal life, his expertise has been recognized in Forbes and Business Insider. Beyond finance, Anmol thrives as an angel investor and real estate entrepreneur.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:How trading psychology parallels entrepreneurship as both require emotional control when nobody's watching over your shoulder.Why successful traders think like AI using "if this, then that" logic instead of emotional reactions to market movements.The difference between investing (anyone can start with 10% of income) and active trading (requires substantial capital and discipline).How to create consequence systems tied to your deepest values to maintain self-accountability.Why curiosity, not just profit motivation, determines long-term success in any venture.How ex-pilots and poker players make the best traders due to their systematic, checklist-driven approaches.Why bringing problems without solutions creates victim mentality, while offering three potential solutions develops resourcefulness.The power of testing multiple variations before concluding something doesn't work.How introverts can leverage their natural analytical tendencies and gaming mindset for business success.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

A Note from James:Michael Dell. Founder of Dell. I remember in college, hearing about this kid who was building computers in his dorm and making millions. I thought it was a myth. It wasn't. He's the real thing—and he just kept going.I wanted to understand what drove him, what it felt like to deal with Carl Icahn trying to wrestle his company from him, and what success feels like after decades of being in the game.

That, plus how he's now thinking about AI, cancer, and what “focus” really means.Episode Description:James Altucher sits down with Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, to trace the entire arc of Dell's career—from building computers in a college dorm room to defending his company against Carl Icahn and taking it private.
