Episode 66 Building a Life of Purpose with Rabbi Shmuel Reichman
Tribesmen
Hey Tribesmen, Episode 66 is here, and this conversation goes deep. I sat down with Shmuel Reichman to explore one of the biggest questions every man faces: Who are you becoming? We talked about self-mastery, purpose, entrepreneurship, spirituality, leadership, and what it really means to live a life aligned with your values. Shmuel shares how a health crisis at 17 sent him on a journey to find meaning, why most people live without asking "why," and how true success comes from harmonizing every area of life instead of sacrificing one for another. This episode is a reminder that life is not...

Episode 65 From Rock Bottom to a Life of Purpose with David Ben Moshe
Tribesmen
Hey Tribesmen, Episode 65 is here, and this one is a powerful reminder that your past does not determine your future. I sat down with David Ben Moshe, whose journey took him from drug dealing and federal prison to becoming an Orthodox Jew, moving to Israel, building a successful coaching business, and helping others transform their lives through discipline and purpose.

Episode 64 Discipline Over Motivation with Shmuli Weissler
Tribesmen
Hey Tribesmen, Episode 64 is here, and this one is for every man who wants consistency… but keeps falling into cycles. I sat down with Shmuli Weissler, creator of the 1,000-day tefillin challenge, for a raw conversation about discipline, identity, and breaking the patterns that keep men stuck. Shmuli’s story hits hard. He grew up ultra-Orthodox, walked away, spent 12 years stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping tefillin… and hating it. Then everything changed. Not because he became more religious. Not because he felt more inspired. But because he stopped relying on motivation… and...

Episode 63 The Inner Battlefield: Discipline with an IDF Commander
Tribesmen
Hey Tribesmen, Episode 63 is here, and this one is for every man who knows he’s capable of more but hasn’t been living like it. I sat down with Eli Wininger, IDF Special Forces veteran, ultra-runner, and men’s health coach, for a conversation about discipline, purpose, and what it truly means to be a strong Jewish man today. Eli’s story is unreal. He grew up in LA, chose to volunteer for the IDF, survived life-and-death moments in Gaza, ran 251 miles for the hostages, and now coaches men into becoming disciplined, capable leaders. But what makes this episode powerful isn’t the...

Hey Tribesmen, Episode 62 is here, and this one cuts straight to the heart of what makes or breaks a Jewish home. I sat down with Lauren Hofstatter, known online as The Orthodox Therapist, for a raw and honest conversation about marriage, expectations, emotional intimacy, and the silent frustrations that many men carry but rarely speak about. Lauren doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She’s a wife, a mother of ten, and a therapist who sees the same pattern repeat itself in marriages every single day: Unspoken expectations → confusion → resentment → emotional distance. If you’ve ever felt...

He opens up about the grind, the miracles, and the powerful connections this journey has created between Jews in America and soldiers on the front lines. This...

Most people would slow down. Jason Brooks did the opposite. In this episode of the Tribesmen Podcast, Jason shares how these moments woke him up—not just to survive, but to thrive. Instead of letting fear take over, he doubled down on his business, mindset, and legacy. Key Takeaways: Wake-Up Calls Are Rarely Convenient: Jason’s journey proves that life doesn’t wait.
