We like to think that we can become successful if we only follow our dreams and stay true to our passions. But if you’ve ever felt that that sentiment sounds a bit too good to be true, you might want to give Rabbi Daniel Lappin a listen. Rabbi Lappin is best known for his book “Thou Shall Prosper,” which, in his own words, “brings ancient Jewish financial wisdom to people of all backgrounds.” While some of his ideas may seem contrary to today’s popular wisdom, his message revolves around living a more authentic life - while also making money. In this episode, Keagan digs into the rabbi’s financial advice and uncovers the value of hard-to-swallow business truths.Connect with him on:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rabbi-daniel-lapin/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RabbiDanielLapin_AncientJewishWisdom/featuredWebsite: http://www.rabbidaniellapin.com/
