Welcome to Day 2762 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2762 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 103:19-22 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2762 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2762 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Titel for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Cosmic Choir – Joining the Angels in the Throne Room. Today, we reach the magnificent summit of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Three. We are standing on the highest peak, looking out over not just the earth, but the entire cosmos. We are covering the final stanza, verses nineteen through twenty-two, in the New Living Translation. In our previous treks through this masterpiece of King David, we started deep inside the human heart. In the first section, David commanded his own soul to "Bless the Lord" for His personal benefits—forgiveness, healing, and redemption from the Pit. Then, in the middle section, we looked at the character of God. We saw Him as a compassionate Father who remembers that we are dust. We measured His love and found it to be as high as the heavens, and we saw His mercy removing our sins as far as the east is from the west. We contrasted our fleeting, flower-like existence with His eternal, unchangeable Covenant Love. Now, in this concluding section, the camera pulls back. We zoom out from the individual soul, past the community of Israel, past the earth itself, and into the Heavenly Throne Room. David realizes that his little voice of praise is not singing a solo. He discovers that he is actually joining a massive, thunderous, cosmic symphony that has been playing since the dawn of time. He invites the heavyweights of the spiritual world—the Divine Council, the mighty angels, and the armies of heaven—to join him in blessing Yahweh. This is the ultimate perspective shift. We are not just dust worshiping in the desert; we are fellow choristers with the Archangels. So, let us tune our hearts to the frequency of heaven and finish this song with a shout that shakes the stars. The first segment is: The Fixed Point in a Spinning Universe. Psalm One Hundred Three: verse nineteen. The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything. Before David issues his final call to worship, he establishes the location and the authority of the One being worshiped. "The Lord has made the heavens his throne..." In the previous section, we talked about how man is like grass—here today, blown away by the wind tomorrow. We talked about how the earth itself wears out like an old garment (Psalm One Hundred Two). In a universe defined by change, entropy, and decay, we desperately need a Fixed Point. David tells us: The Throne is established. The Hebrew word kun (established or made firm) implies that it is unshakeable. God hasn't just set up a folding chair in the clouds; He has established a permanent seat of governance. And where is this throne? In "the heavens." Now, we need to put on our Ancient Israelite worldview lenses here. When the Bible speaks of "the heavens" in this context, it isn't just...

Have You Lost Your Excitement and Enthusiasm for Life?

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks again with Washington Post columnist and repeat guest Shadi Hamid (listen to previous episodes). A native Pennsylvanian of Egyptian ethnic background and Islamic faith, Hamid completed his Ph.D. in politics at Oxford University. He is co-host of the Wisdom of Crowds podcast and website with Damir Marusic, and now the author of his own Substack and a recent book, The Case For American Power. Hamid is also the author of The Problem of Democracy: America, the Middle East, and the Rise and Fall of an Idea. , Temptations of Power: Islamists & Illiberal Democracy in a New Middle East and Rethinking Political Islam. Before moving the discussion to The Case For American Power, Razib asks Hamid about his current positioning on the American political landscape with the emergence of the hard-right during the second Trump administration. Hamid admits that during the "woke era" he wasn't sure about his place on the Left as a progressive due to his misgivings with racial identarianism, but with the rise of white nationalism on the Right and the executive decisions of the Trump administration Hamid finds himself more comfortable saying he is a progressive. Racism and the passions unleashed by the Israel-Palestine conflict since 10/7 have made Hamid reevaluate the virtues of some level of wokeness. Pivoting to foreign policy, Razib and Hamid discuss his new book, and its positioning within a political landscape that ranges from neconservatism, liberal internationalism and isolationism of all sorts. Despite Hamid's misgivings of some aspects of American culture and the nation's past political sins, he asserts (unlike the far Left) that overall America is a force for good, and that it should exercise its power to spread its vision of morality across the world. The Case For American Power is an attempt to articulate a liberal and progressive internationalist vision for 2025, decades after the failed Iraqi intervention. Hamid also addresses the sea-change on the progressive side of American politics when it comes to Israel, admitting he feels much freer to express skepticism or critiques of Israeli policy than he had in previous eras.

Drawing on Buddhist philosophy and his own artistic journey, Stan explores the balance of wisdom and method, two essential parts of the creative process.He shares a transformative moment from a teaching trip to India, where a discussion with a Buddhist monk led him to realize that creativity, like spiritual practice, requires both technical skill and inner wisdom. Without this balance, our work—and our lives—remain incomplete.“To be an artist, you need to have skills.

In this deeply moving Mussar Masterclass (Day 109), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the Gate of Remembrance in Orchos Tzaddikim with the final three remembrances, dedicating the session to the speedy recovery of his newborn preemie grandson (Tinoch ben Mi'ira bat Zahava) in the Jerusalem NICU. He urges listeners to pray Psalms and dedicate Torah study as merit for the baby and mother.The 28th remembrance: Treat everything—soul, spouse, children, possessions—as an outright gift to Hashem, fully dedicated to His service. Accept all decrees with love, trusting Hashem completely, earning immense reward even without trials.The 29th: Internal value trumps external—beauty, wealth, or status mean nothing without inner holiness, Torah, and spirituality. Avoid superficiality; invest in wisdom and purity over fleeting externals.The 30th (final): This world is a foreign land; we arrive as strangers sustained solely by Hashem's miracle. Like a vulnerable immigrant under a king's protection, humble yourself, abandon pride, and exert every effort to serve the King (Hashem) faithfully, knowing He alone controls life, success, and exit—without intermediaries.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes constant awareness of divine control (illustrated by recent missile miracles near Tel Aviv airport), rejecting "happenstance" (mikre = only from Hashem), and prioritizing spiritual investment over materialism. The episode ends with profound gratitude for life's fragility and Hashem's constant presence.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 5, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 25, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this Soul Elevation episode, I sit down with intuitive channel and mentor Stephanie Banks for a heartfelt conversation about empowerment, soul communication, and trusting your inner guidance. Stephanie shares how her mother's dementia opened the doorway for her to begin channeling—first with loved ones in body, then with souls, guides, animals, and Gaia herself.  We explore the responsibility that comes with channeling, how to discern between intuition and thought, and how presence and self-trust can deepen your connection with divine wisdom. We also talk about Gaia's messages for humanity, the power of nature as meditation, and the rise of the divine feminine on our planet. Stephanie's grounded authenticity and loving insight are a refreshing reminder that you already have the capacity to connect with higher consciousness. It simply takes slowing down and tuning in.  

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych speaks with Dr. J.V. Hebbar, founder of EasyAyurveda.com and Easy Ayurveda Hospital in India, about the truth behind Ayurveda and spirituality, and what it actually means for busy, modern people. Together they explore what spirituality truly is (and isn't), whether Ayurveda itself is a spiritual practice, and the role clarity can play in healing without drifting into extremism. Dr. Hebbar offers grounded perspectives on fasting, restrictive diets, money and healing, celebrity culture, psychedelic therapies, and the misconception of Ayurvedic practitioners as gurus, while explaining why a sattvic, truthful, and self-disciplined lifestyle supports mental health, courage, and clearer perception. This conversation cuts through spiritual hype to ask a practical question: Can spirituality make you healthier, and if so, how?

“Aneb and I met in 1974 when I was incarcerated in prison,” Matthew D. Jones Jr., LMSW, ACSW tells Detroit is Different—and from that first line, this episode becomes a masterclass in how Legacy Black Detroit culture survives, adapts, and teaches. Jones walks us from Black Bottom (“Chene & Gratiot”) to Forest & Van Dyke, where “seniors… looked out for the kids” and community love was “the normal process for black folks at the time.” He doesn't dodge the hard truths: the “Big Four” police harassment, the anger it produced, and the 1966 case that changed his life—plus the haunting image of a military tank rolling through Detroit during the 1967 rebellion. But the heart of this interview is transformation: “the only way I was going to get out… was education,” reading thousands of books, earning degrees inside, and being guided by elders like Dr. Gloria "Mama Aneb” House. When a freedom fighter challenges him—“violence is not going to save us… use your mind”—Jones turns pain into purpose, and his memoir Fire in My Belly becomes a roadmap for our past and a strategy for our future.

Welcome to Day 2760 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2760 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 103:7-18 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2760 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2760 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Geometry of Grace – As High as the Heavens, As Far as the East. Today, we continue our ascent up the magnificent peak of Psalm One Hundred Three. We are exploring the heart of the psalm, verses seven through eighteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we heard King David preaching a sermon to his own soul. He commanded himself to "Bless the Lord" and not to forget His benefits. We listed those benefits: He forgives all sins, heals all diseases, redeems us from the Pit, and crowns us with love and tender mercies. It was a celebration of what God does. But today, David goes deeper. He moves from God's acts to God's nature. He asks the question: Why does God do these things? What is it about His character that makes Him forgive a sinner like me? In this section, David gives us the definitive theology of the heart of God. He takes us back to the mountain of Sinai to hear God's own description of Himself. He uses the vastness of the cosmos to measure God's love. And then, he looks at us—frail, dusty, fleeting humanity—and explains why God's response to our weakness is not judgment, but fatherly compassion. So, let us stand in awe as we measure the dimensions of grace. The First Segment is: The Magna Carta of Mercy: God's Self-Revelation. Psalm One Hundred Three: verses seven through eight. He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.  The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. David begins by grounding his praise in history. He isn't guessing what God is like; he is remembering what God said. "He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel." Specifically, David is quoting Exodus Thirty-four, verse six. This moment occurred right after the Golden Calf incident—Israel's great act of spiritual adultery. Moses asked to see God's glory, and God passed by and proclaimed His name. This declaration in verse eight—"The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love"—is the most quoted verse in the entire Old Testament. It is the Jewish Creed of Grace. Let's break down these four pillars of God's heart: Compassionate (Rachum): Related to the word for "womb." It describes a mother's visceral feeling for her helpless infant. Merciful (Chanun): Meaning gracious, generous, giving favor that is undeserved. Slow to Get Angry (Erek Apayim): Literally, "Long of Nose." In Hebrew idiom, anger was associated with a hot nose or snorting. To be "long of nose" means it takes a long time for God's nose to get hot. He has a very long...

This week, we have a special live episode for you. Wisdom of Crowds, in cooperation with Aspen's Philosophy and Society program, threw a holiday party in DC, celebrating the release of our friend Osita Nwanevu's new book, The Right of the People. Samuel Kimbriel sat down with Osita and the great Sam Goldman of the Hamilton School at the University of Florida, to kick off our celebration of America's 250th with a debate of whether the constitution was a bad idea.Osita argues that it is time for a new American founding. The clash between our democratic principles and our long term inequalities requires a gradual but fundamental reworking of the American constitutional order. Goldman dissents, arguing both that, for all its flaws, the American system is superior to any comparable existing democracy of comparable scale—and that any plausible step to dismantle it is likely to lead to ruin. Kimbriel tries to keep the peace.Abandon arguing with your family over the holidays and argue with us instead!Required Reading:* The Right of the People, by Osita Nwanevu (Penguin Random House).

When Logic Fails, Try Poetry (The Surprising Science Behind It)BelovedSome truths can't be captured in bullet points or logical arguments.They require metaphor, imagery, and rhythm to bypass your analytical mind and speak directly to your heart. This is why a single line of poetry can sometimes convey more wisdom than an entire self-help book.In our data-driven world, we often dismiss the power of poetic language as merely decorative.

1 Don't be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them; 2 for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief. 3 Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established; 4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure. 5 A wise man has great power. A knowledgeable man increases strength, 6 for by wise guidance you wage your war, and victory is in many advisors. 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn't open his mouth in the gate. 8 One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer. 9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men. 10 If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small. 11 Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter! 12 If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this," doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work? 13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste; 14 so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off. 15 Don't lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don't destroy his resting place; 16 for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity. 17 Don't rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't let your heart be glad when he is overthrown, 18 lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 19 Don't fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked; 20 for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out. 21 My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don't join those who are rebellious, 22 for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both? 23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good. 24 He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous," peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him— 25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them. 26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. 27 Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house. 28 Don't be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don't deceive with your lips. 29 Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work." 30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding. 31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down. 32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction: 33 a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep, 34 so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.

The Voice In Your Head Is Destroying You... Slowly

What if visibility didn't begin with projection, performance, or pushing outward but with listening, rest, and tending to what no one else can see? In this episode, I invite you to slow down and reflect on the deeper source of your light. As we honor the Winter Solstice and the return to light through darkness, we explore how true visibility in leadership and business is rooted in inwardness, depth, and the unseen work happening beneath the surface. Tune in to hear: Where you may be feeling pressure to be "visible" or outward right now What parts of your leadership, life, or business feel unseen or unexplored How darkness, quiet, and rest are essential sources of potency and clarity Why meaningful visibility must be sourced from deep listening and inner truth How this season can inform how you choose to show up in the new year If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.

In this emotional Mussar Masterclass (Day 108), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins with a heartfelt plea for prayers for his newborn preemie grandson (Tinoch ben Mi'ira bat Zahava) in the NICU in Jerusalem, dedicating the session to their speedy recovery. The class concludes the Gate of Remembrance in Orchos Tzaddikim with the final three remembrances:Always investigate and ask questions deeply—never rely solely on childhood understanding of Torah; as intellect matures, revisit and enrich knowledge (illustrated by stories of Rav Moshe Feinstein's meticulousness and sensitivity).Remove excessive love of this world and intensify love for Olam Haba—physical pleasures and spiritual growth cannot coexist; this world is solely a tool to invest in the next (via mitzvot, teshuvah, and using possessions for holiness), as fire and water cannot share a vessel.Remember accountability before Hashem—we will be judged not against others, but on whether we maximized our unique potential ("Why weren't you you?").Accept afflictions with joy—they are merciful "slap on the wrist" instead of the death penalty we deserve; teshuvah and small sufferings are gifts of divine kindness.Rabbi Wolbe weaves in awe-inspiring modern miracles (e.g., the May 4, 2025, missile landing harmlessly near Tel Aviv airport) as open reminders that Hashem alone controls everything—not technology, military, or human effort—urging constant gratitude and recognition of divine protection.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 5, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 23, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

What does it really mean to worship wisely?In Matthew 2, the Wise Men show us that worship is not accidental—it's intentional, costly, and rooted in wisdom. They didn't allow distance, discomfort, or danger to keep them from encountering Jesus. Instead, they followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, searched the Scriptures, and responded with humble obedience.In this message, we learn that:• Wise worship seeks Jesus intentionally• Wise worship responds to divine direction• Wise worship brings God our very bestThe gifts they brought (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) weren't random. They revealed who Jesus is: King, Holy, and Savior. True worship still requires that same understanding today.Our worship, our resources, and our lives belong to Him.Scripture References:• Matthew 2:1–11• Numbers 24:17• Micah 5:2• Philippians 3:12Be encouraged to approach God with wisdom, humility, and wholehearted worship—because when we bow before Him, we align our lives with His purpose.

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business   In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do.   If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection.   Key Points with Reflection Questions:  Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now?   Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. ·       Profit First gave him:      Peace of mind      Predictable cash flow      Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered      The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths   He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions. In Richer Soul terms: It's a structure that creates space for purpose.   Key Takeaway: Success is not built on followers, funnels, or tactics. Success is built on intentional generosity, consistent relational rhythms, and becoming someone others want to advocate for. Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation.   Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness. His clients learn how to attract business instead of chase it, freeing up time and energy for what matters most. Through his frameworks, the Trusted Advisor Playbook and the Momentum System, Brian gives leaders a step-by-step plan to win more clients by first winning more trust. If you want to grow your practice through trust instead of tactics, Brian is the coach who can show you how.   Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briankmcrae/   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563450897284  https://briankmcrae.com/   Which insight from Brian resonated with you the most? Share it with someone who needs to hear it — and consider sending a handwritten note this week. One small act of intention may open a door you never expected.   #RicherSoul #BrianMcRae #RelationshipMarketing #EmotionalLoyalty #PersonalGrowth #InnerWisdom #PurposeDrivenSuccess #AuthenticRelationships #GenerosityMindset #NetworkingTips #MindsetShift #LifeDesign #MeaningfulSuccess #ProfitFirst #EntrepreneurLife #SpiritualGrowth #SuccessMindset #LeadershipDevelopment #HumanConnection #IntentionalLiving   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.
