If you are a parent and I'm hopefully one day I will be in order to have a good life for your kids.

zaki zaki yeah zaki you can try and say zaki okay z Okay. Tzaki. Not Tzaki. It's not Japanese.
But yeah.
Try it again.
Tza.
Tza.
Hi.
Hi.
Yeah.
Okay.
Tzaki.
Yeah.
There we go.
Tzaki.
Close enough.
Ozari.
Yeah.
What a name.
What a name, right?
I've never seen that name.
Have you?
Well, yeah.
It's actually a very common name in Hebrew.
Really?
It's a short name of Isaac.
So it's actually been a fresh air.
Nice.
Which I hope I am a fresh air.
Yeah, you are, man.
You just ordered me lunch.
No guest in 700 episodes has ever ordered me lunch.
And you got it for the team, too.
So I really appreciate that.
Anytime, yeah.
For sure.
That's what I like to do.
Absolutely, man.
And you said you're flying after this to?
Back to LA and then to New York on Monday.
But yeah, I love going to LA to relax.
That's a rare saying, LA to usually la to work because i i stay in santa monica or venice and near the beach we'll go to um
malibu but those are the areas that i because it's very close to the beach it's quite on the beach
although there's a lot of people when you go you know know, crossing that street and get quiet and nice and chill.
Absolutely.
Now you're a writer, so you're probably introverted, right?
You don't like to be around too many people.
Oh, that is actually a good point.
Right?
Yeah.
A lot of writers are like that.
The thing is, you know, with where I want to be in the next five years, even tomorrow, I probably will need to stand up and you know share my vision and words
and hopefully i can inspire more people by doing so um so yeah it's it's a stage that i need to
cross i'm not sure i'm there yet yeah we'll help you get there man now let's let's go through these
books one by one so fyp was the first one right yeah that's basically the time when i lost my partnership lost my friends um lost my girlfriend and most importantly lost myself wow
so yeah and it was a very close to being for the third time homeless so geez yeah so i had to make
a choice um and i decided to the reason why why I was almost in that point again is because I had, you know, construction wasn't my first ideal industry that I wanted to be, but somehow I got into it. And I didn't want to do it immediately
because the people that taught me were still around me.
So I didn't want to make them,
because I knew they can do it better.
I just didn't have the guts or the willing to take the risk on me
or bet on myself that I can do it better.
And I felt comfortable being around them.
And I know if I do this step, I'm going to lose them.
And then living in New York, not with your real family,
so it's really trying to create this community or a safe zone
that you can go and enjoy time.
And they were my safe zone.
They were like a family.
We've been together for 24-7.
So for me to not have it, it's understanding that alone,
it's okay.
Being alone, it's okay.
And it's sometimes difficult.
Yeah.
When you have drugs included
and stuff like that,
you're not aware
of the right choices.
Right.
And I always say,
you know, successful people,
we're all born to be successful.
And the difference between a successful and unsuccessful person
is by the choices they make.
So even unsuccessful people successfully making the wrong choices
over and over again, compared to somebody who is successful
in making the right choices, when you make a wrong choice,
you just tweak it in a way that, you know, you learn from it
and then tweak it to make it work.
So that's why this is not a failure decision you're making.
It's just a learning curve.
It's just the difference between unsuccessful people
to successful people.
Yeah, there's a few key choices
everyone has to go through in life.
And I feel like that can make or break someone.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, a big one is leaving the house at what age,
you know what I mean?
Yeah. Because some people stay at their parents house till they're 30 40 years old
and i think that's too late yeah and i think when you live in a you know in israel it's very common
to stay with your parents till you get old or get married and that um but i you know i felt if i'm
going to stay in israel i would not be able to take those risks that I wanted to take because my family wasn't risk-taking.
There was always a safety net.
My brother wanted to be a lawyer.
The other one, IT.
My sister, computer engineer, but in the end of the day, she found her way with God and she became religious.
But she became religious because she was missing the family part.
Our childhood, a reality that was built by my parents was difficult.
The choices that they make was bad choices and they kept making it until they found their
place, work that they kept for 20 years.
And if it wasn't for my mom cancer she was still working
till this day because work for my mom and dad was kind of a getaway from the from the house yeah
not you know finding place that again like me with those friends finding this community and
friendship with the work and people around it that gave them the love or the respect that they
were looking in a
house and wasn't able to get it but if you go back to all of this it's all start with their
childhood what's made them feel on you know unsuccessful or make them feel in a way that they
um unwelcome i guess yeah so you felt that pressure from your parents to i felt the pressure best
because again i i went through a lot um sean i if it was drug abuse mentally abused physical abuse
um sexual abuse um and being homeless because of my parents and because of my choices. Wow. So I've been through a lot.
But the reason why I've been through a lot is because my mom didn't know how to deal with her emotions
and didn't know how to deal with life because she didn't get the right guidance from her parents.
Now, I feel like parenting, if you are parenting, and hopefully one day I will be, in order to have a good life for your kids, either you need to be happy so you can provide them a good value as well, or to find their niche or their gift and then push them and direct them to their gift so they can be successful with what they're good at. And I feel my parents, if they look in between,
they will be able to see that I'm a writer,
maybe push me towards writing.
If you look at my dad that passed away two years ago,
he was a writer too,
but he never achieved the dream of being a writer.
He had a full script,
which I'm trying not to bring to light for to honor him to see that
you know and especially for my mom to see that
she's not she didn't marry a
failure she married somebody that had a
gift but didn't know or didn't believe
in himself in order to pursue that gift
yeah if you are
Sylvester Stallone if you can hear me
I'm trying to get to him
touch with him cause it's a movie script
it's a movie script but I also have
two storylines
for new Rocky movies
and I'm
I think
you know
to do a package deal
with Sylvester Stallone
would be great
wow
but I see
actually I see
Sylvester Stallone
compared to my dad
is
Sylvester Stallone
is a successful dad
that I didn't have
because he had
also a script
that he was pushing himself
which was Rocky he was pushing himself and somehow got to that chance somebody believed in him and
you know was able to put on a big screen compared to my dad they didn't believe in himself and
that's why he never got the chance to do what I'm trying to do right now for him so your dad taught
you how to write it he never told me I'm how to write. I realized that I'm always like writing
since I was a kid.
When they sent me,
because I was,
I don't want to say a bad kid,
but I was very energetic, let's say.
I used to get into fights a lot.
Really?
Yeah.
What would cause them?
Because my mom.
My mom was, again, the abuse came from my mom. Yeah. And What would cause them? Because my mom. My mom was,
again,
the abuse came from my mom.
Yeah.
And the abuse,
and I love my mom
and she,
till this day,
feels like she's a victim
in a way.
Instead of being
kind of
finding her superpower.
So she always feel like
she's a victim.
She always blame other people.
And I used to be in a position
when I was blaming other people.
At the end of the day,
you need to face yourself in the mirror
because you are there because of your choices.
Even if somebody does something bad,
if somebody cheating on you,
you're cheating on yourself
because you believe that this relationship
is good enough.
But because you are cheating yourself
for believing that then
they actually becoming a reality right and i think that people you know till they take
responsibility of every um action or every place that they've been they will not be able to step
out of this circle the victim um mentality yeah victim mentality that's everywhere these days too
i had it too yeah i think what happened uh i would blame everyone other than me i could never take
accountability is there something to do with your um dad passing away in early age no i had it early
before he passed and i feel like i could just never take action on my results like it was always
someone else's fault and the time
that your dad was alive did you able to get some value from him or you don't see that you have a
i got value but not direct value so he was uh super smart 150 iq and had a lot of uh social
issues so he couldn't really use emotions yeah um so i would learn from a distance it wasn't like hands-on teaching
so it's it's actually funny you saying that because for a long time i thought um my parents
never gave me values but looking now because if you look i'm i'm the only four years ago i was in
the victim stage so i will not see the values that they gave me. But now, looking back, there's a lot of values.
The fact that they never stopped until they found a workplace.
They never gave up, no matter what.
Although they didn't have a goal or didn't have an idea what to do with their life,
the steep kept going in order to be able to be where they were at that time,
which for them was a good place in a way.
It wasn't the place that I was hoping they will be and that they couldn't be.
Because if my dad would choose his path of writing, he might be in a different place
if he believed in himself.
But still, my dad, every time he used to call me and the call would never give up so it's also another value so
it's this and keep going um it's not like how rocky says it's not about how you get knocked
down it's how you get knocked down and keep moving forward right yeah classic um so that brings us to
the second book this one just came out? This one came up last summer.
Okay.
Monk.
Monk.
Monkey Mind.
So what's the premise with that one?
So the first one was for me,
the first one was all about,
you know,
moving on from the past.
So if somebody like still stuck in the past,
the first book will be ideal for you.
The second book is all about how to change your habits. And one of the things
that I learned is, you know, using words. So if you keep saying, work is hard, I need to, have to,
then you're going to project things that's going to be hard for you. Even hard to get a solution
for them. But if you start using can or um or other kind of positive words
then it will change your mindset so the thing that comes is a hard for you will be easier for you to
you know get a solution get a result instead of just crying about the situation that you are right
now um yeah and this that the idea is you know how to reprogram your subconscious and things that were stuck in my head or overthinking about things that are still in your head from the past.
Why?
For me, it was a reason because every sentence that I had in my head or every kind of thing that stuck was a story that I brought to this book and can help inspire people or people can feel connected to.
That's major.
I love that.
Yeah.
Words and just the way you think
is so powerful.
It's crazy.
Change your mind,
change your life.
Yeah.
I used to have very negative thoughts.
It took me years to change it.
Do you ever heard about,
by the way,
I need to thank you.
I forgot.
Do you ever heard about the domino effect
or familiar with the domino effect?
Kind of.
So last summer,
I had this,
a bad time.
Basically, things are falling apart.
It wasn't going well.
And every solution that I was putting
was kind of bending and it was ripping off after a few weeks and it just kept going it was about to
really give up um with the construction company with the books and things that wasn't going well
but suddenly and that's the domino effect it can go back it can go either positive or negative
and for me it just was negative.
And out of the blue, I think it was Amy.
Yeah.
She texted me.
Assistant, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
She texted me and said, I think you have a value.
And I see a value in you.
And I was like, wait, what?
My Instagram was so bad.
Yeah.
I wasn't satisfied with my Instagram.
And somebody coming out of the blue,
I thought it was a scam.
I thought it was a scam in the beginning.
But yeah,
and it turned out to be a real thing.
And then here I am here now with you.
But at this point,
started to do the other dominant effect,
which is a positive effect.
Things is getting better and better and better.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's cool, man.
Thank you.
Yeah, I've seen you talk in the group chat,
and hopefully you got some value.
Yeah.
That's really cool, dude.
And I know you're working on a third book now too, right?
Yeah, The Tree of Life, which is all about childhood.
And I feel like that would be my best one so far right now.
Wow.
I can say, yeah.
Because I started to basically put myself
in front of my mom
and see what the similarity is.
Because the apple
doesn't fall far from the tree.
And you see
why I was acting
the way I was acting
for 38 years
and why I was
going through drugs
trying to escape.
Because I was for a long time
in the lost and found.
I always knew
that I want to be
successful and wealthy,
but I'd never had a plan. And I always tapped to somebody else's dream and thought, okay, maybe if I give
my a hundred percent over there. Are you interested in coming on the digital social hour podcast as a

I will be a partnership, and that's what makes my life easier
because I'm going to get where I want, but in somebody else's dream.
But it doesn't work like this.
Because people don't want to show you your value.
In order for you to show your value, you need to find the value in yourself.
That's the only way for you to be able to achieve anything.
If it can be paycheck to paycheck you need just
to love yourself in order for you can love the job or find the passion or find a dream or you know it
it just the childhood if you go back and start digging inside you you'd be amazed how similar
you are to your parents and especially if you are struggling
over and over again with the same kind of result wow yeah people don't even really think about it
they just kind of move on but they don't ever go back it's normal it seems like it's just something
that's supposed to happen yes my parents had it as i'm normal but it's not it's just the same
cycle that you want to find a way to break it yeah we need to break that cycle because my my dad got abused too yeah so i saw him take the opposite approach and run away from just
all human contact yeah you know because he was so scared yeah um and i feel like you know i don't
like people when they say uh you have to take control of your life you can't take control of
anything in your life nothing it's i feel like uh control it's an illusion to be honest
um what you can try to do is stabilize things because even if you make a choice you never know
if the choice is right or wrong until you make it um you say i can control what comes to my mouth
but yes you can but then do you know how your body will you know digest the food that you put in
do you know where the food came from the other thing that you don't know so you cannot really
control right anything in life um can you control when you pass away or not you know you don't know
anything about it the only thing that you do is make the right choices or make a choices or the
freedom of choice because again i don't think there is any kind of thing i don't believe in
freedom to be honest wow the freedom that i believe is the freedom of choice. Because again, I don't think there is any kind of thing. I don't believe in freedom, to be honest.
Wow.
The freedom that I believe is the freedom of choice.
Interesting.
Because if you look at it in a big picture,
your body is not free.
You need to not share with your body.
It costs money, right?
You need, your house is not free.
Even if you buy the house in cash,
you still need to pay taxes.
Tax, yeah. Every day, it's not free. Your car is not free. Even if you buy the house, pay in cash, you still need to pay taxes. Tax, yeah.
Every day.
It's not free.
Your car is not free.
Nothing is free.
Your body is temporary.
It's not free.
It's a time when you don't know when you're going to pass away.
But again, it's temporary.
Unless you can clone people, which we talked about.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you think freedom is an illusion then?
It's an illusion.
I really do believe in illusion.
The only thing,
the freedom that you have,
it's the freedom of choice.
But do you think you can use money as a tool to become more,
more free or no?
No.
It is also an illusion that you need money in order to be free.
I think the,
it's a good point because when,
when it hits and I just opened my company,
all my jobs got, you know, stopped or never even continued because we weren't able to go to the buildings and do the work.
And it was, again, not at the point that I was, how can I get, how can I pay for it? How can I do this and that? And I realized that the thing that I was running from
is from this feeling that to be a homeless.
So if I can take this away,
or how can I take it away,
will help me to basically not feel
or need of the money, I guess.
And I feel like
money is a great tool to have.
I'm not going to say that.
But before I had dreams and goals and things that I wanted to do now,
I just wanted to be stable.
And stable to me doesn't mean that I had to have a lot of money.
Stable to me just to have enough money to pay my rent.
Yeah.
And be in the same building for more than a year,
because in New York it's very tough to be more than a year in a building.
And look at me now.
I've been staying in, since I did the transformation,
I've been staying in the same building for the past four years.
Yeah. transformation i mean stay in the same building for the past four years nice yeah so that was my
my way of you know if you take out the
it's a complicated question to be honest it's deep it is deep because i because i'm happy because
i'm i'm happy with i do want to do, but it's not because I need the money.
It's because I want to help people.
I'm good with helping people.
I feel better helping people.
But in order to help them, I need to help myself.
And I think just a feeling.
Because being happy is a choice.
It's a choice?
It's a choice.
Whatever happened now, let's say me and you have a fight.
It's your choice
if you want to take this fight
or this emotion
for the next day,
for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a new,
brand new day.
It's a new opportunity.
If you decide to be happy today,
you might see an opportunity
that you wouldn't see
if you were still
in the mindset
of being upset
and the mindset
that you're being,
feel a victim more.
So I feel like, you know, I'll tell you a story when i was working in the west village um i was working uh aside of me
in a crappy place but i was a girl that taking order because in in the weekends it was packed
yeah it was really packed and she was always smiling always smiling no matter how the customer
would treat her always smiling and i asked her like matter how the customer would treat her, always smiling.
And I asked her, like, how the hell do you do it? Because I was making the crepes and I was, you know, being the,
you can say the soup Nazi, but in a crepe kind of way.
And she told me, look, I wake up every morning and I decide to be happy
and I'll be able to take it to me.
It's a choice.
Wow.
And I was like, wait, what?
Yeah, it is.
What about the other way around?
Because some people say they're depressed.
Again, look, I'm not a medic, but I was depressed too.
When I decided to be happy.
It was overnight.
It just took me, look, even drugs, it wasn't an overnight kind of transformation.
It took me a while to get off of it.
But I never went to rehab.
I did meditation.
I did walks.
I was near waters.
I changed my habits.
Woke up very early.
Cold shower.
Drinks.
Things that make me feel healthy, which is hot water with lemon every morning,
stuff like that.
I did physical stuff that makes me happy,
gym,
hot yoga.
But that's how I got out.
But by the way,
doing going to hot yoga,
one of the reasons I go there
is because the studio is so hot
that you're suffocating from,
it's hard to breathe.
So you need to somehow find stillness.
And it's very difficult.
And when you muster that,
and I think it's easier to also muster the thoughts
of happy and unhappy.
Wow.
Yeah, hot yoga is no joke.
I've done a few sessions out here
and I'm usually the only guy there,
but it's really fun.
It's intense
yeah
it's
every posture you do
can create
your heartbeat
very fast
yeah
and that's why you stop
it's difficult for you to breathe
that's why you need to take a moment
and say
it's nothing
yeah it's a mental game in there for sure
and that's why I love it so much
because it's not about the posture it's a mental game in there for sure. And that's why I love it so much because it's not about the password.
It's more about being able to stay in your zone,
in your stillness and focus on yourself.
You don't care about anybody else.
You just look at your mirror and focus on yourself.
Understand that the battle is between you and your mind
and that's it.
Yeah.
So you've had quite the mental journey too then?
Yeah.
I think all of us.
Yeah, for sure.
When you were homeless, what age were you?
How long was that?
It was in New York.
It was – so the first time I was homeless is because I took a risk on a different job,
didn't work out, and then found myself not able to afford a house, an apartment.
The second time is because what we talked about,
about the friendship that I didn't want to lose
and put it on top instead of me.
So when the second time, when I was sleeping in a van,
I actually faced myself in the mirror
and I took the small mirror, put it on my eyes
and see, oh, I'm like, stop lying to yourself.
You're not happy.
Everybody else is going and you're not happy everybody else is growing
and you're just staying still
or look where you are right now
so what are you going to do
what exactly are you going to do
and I made a choice
and I knew that taking that choice
would probably cost me my friends
but then you need to better yourself
how could we better yourself
because nobody will better you
better yourself and when you better yourself then you might attract people how could we Brian said bet on yourself because nobody will bet on you bet on yourself
and when you
bet on yourself
then you might
attract people
that will give you
the opportunity
will give you the seat
and explain your life
explain your
how you got out of it
right
but until then
if you don't bet on yourself
don't see any reasons
that people will value you
yeah
because you don't value yourself
were you able to find
someone at that time
to talk to a mentor some sort talk to, a mentor of some sort?
Talk to myself.
Just yourself?
Books.
A lot of books.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad gave me the observation
of not even the money.
It's not about the money of the book.
That's a book to show you financially.
I actually thought about the book
as a good experience to see a wealthy dad
compared to an unwealthy dad
the mindset in between uh the universe has your back by daniel gabriel burstein helped me to
get into meditation and the fact that she had the same journey with the drugs and everything
had you know got me closer and i think the third one that was very powerful for me was men searching for meaning,
which is a guy that got to the camp and separated from his wife.
The Holocaust?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he find a way to stay positive,
which is, you know, which second sense that he had you know define you know
any day you can die but to find a way to create new habits and find happiness in that moment it's
incredible yeah books are great because to be able to read that story of what happened 80 years ago
yeah that's amazing yeah see that experience yeah that's why
i'm a huge fan i listen to audiobooks once a week yeah yeah i don't i don't like audiobooks really
yeah wow so there's different types of learners it sounds like you're more hands-on yeah are you
a kidney steologist like you like to learn from touch learn from touch um and i think i like the physicality yeah i think like i i'm all about
doing yeah less than talking that's the rarest form of learning and then there's audio which is
me i think and then there's visual some people just learn from seeing yeah i like visuals i can
say yeah visual is yeah like watching a lot documentary movies i'm a big fan of movies
my whole family that's something that
really connected us because we are very separated movies was something that connected us music was
something that connecting us by the way if if only my parents saw that the potential i have with books
or understanding life in general our family and go back to my grandfather and grandmother are all artistic
but nobody believed in themselves none of them wow yeah so if they're only one of them because
my grandfather was in manage a theater and my grandma used to love to create clothing. And when we didn't have any money,
she used to create my costume for our Halloween Purim,
which is for Jewish.
But yeah, if he saw those, and my dad with his writing,
and if somebody saw it in a bigger point of view,
they might realize that maybe we are autistic.
Maybe we're not into doing lawyer stuff and hectic stuff and stuff like this.
And that applies for anything, right?
Because my fiance's family, super spiritual,
but they all hid their powers.
They were all scared of it.
So now with her, we're really trying to tap into it more
because we're not scared of it. We want to embrace it yeah so that goes with any skill yeah
and you see it in families like it doesn't have to be anything business related but people just
seem to hide their their skills for some reason yeah it's it's because again it's all about the
trauma that you have as a as a kid and as a parent as well um one of the reason i never
went to a psychiatrist because my mom saw it as a weakness because when i was uh in school
and i wanted to create this and i wanted to um myself yeah in school 12 years old
holy crap
that's young
it was a day where I
beat some
one of my friends
I
damaged his face
really bad
and things wasn't going
good at home as well
I decided
I'm gonna
12 years old
that is
that's like elementary
middle school
so they took me
to do some tests
and psychiatrist tests
and stuff like that
and my mom before said
don't say anything else decide lie to be honest my mom told me to lie when tests and psychiatry tests and stuff like that. And my mom before said, don't say anything else.
Decide, lie.
To be honest, my mom told me to lie when I was a kid
because
first grade, before
working to class, my mom
told me, you need to lie.
And the reason why we need to lie because
she didn't want people
to know that my dad is living with us
because the deaths that he created and stuff like that.
So I had to tell either a lie that I don't know the numbers,
I don't know where I live, or to give my grandma.
Holy crap.
Yeah.
In first grade, you're forced to lie.
That is such a young age.
And I think I carried this for all my life.
And I was lying to myself or lying to other people to get away with things away from with things but yeah in the end of the day I lied to myself and that's and I kept it for 38 years
holy crap 38 years lying to myself that this is a safe place this is a good place is it
yeah yeah it's easy to do that right to start believing them because your brain doesn't know
better you can easily believe stuff and if
you just repeat it out loud so many times you start to really believe it and live it yeah yeah
that's crazy um there is a thing about the matrix when somebody i just saw it on instagram um posted
um a green uh blue circle and a red circle and And it asked the class, are they identical?
And everybody says yes.
And he told them, no.
One of them is actually bigger than the other one.
And he made them believe that one of them is bigger.
And they asked, which one do you think is bigger?
So some of them said red.
Some of them said blue.
So when you reveal it, he said, what was your first thought?
Was it identical, right right they are identical i just made you believe that they're not identical and that's how you know
society or family wants you to wow that's how they program you yeah crazy where can people find out
more about your books and what you got coming up any online store
