The Charlie Harary Show: Recent Episodes
TheBlaze Radio Network
Education today has a totally different paradigm: It is no longer confined to a classroom or a desk. It is no longer kept in the domain of the youth. Education can, and should be, utilized by everyone regardless of age. As education pushes past the boundaries where it has previously been constrained, it is changing what’s possible. In this podcast, I interview Josh Joseph, Senior Vice President of Yeshiva University, one of the best private colleges in the United States.
Josh shares his insights on the future of education and its implication for each of us. We speak about the importance of pursuing your passions, honing your skills, and making your talents marketable. As an educator, Josh explains why each of us should “find our element,” and how a commitment to core values will enable us to achieve personal greatness.

-Charlie and Alan Weichselbaum discuss the inherent risk that comes with trusting your business' finances to one individual. To avoid this peril, one must gain insight into how the company operates and obtain the skills required to make a positive impact on day-to-day operations.
If you are like most entrepreneurs, you don’t spend a lot of time in finances. You are entrenched in the product or the service that your company offers, constantly trying to make it better and get more customers. Tracking expenses, costs and revenues, seem to be either a waste of time or necessary evil. Alan is an “outside” CFO to many entrepreneurs around the country. Entrepreneurs are constantly reaching out to understand how to leverage Alan’s financial systems’ knowledge so they can take their company to the next level. If you need to get your “financial house” in order, you don’t want to miss this show.

Charlie talks with the host of Entrepreneur On Fire Podcast founder & host John Lee Dumas.
Charlie ask how John got started in real estate in San Diego, after serving eight years in the US military and how feeling disconnected lead him to start the Entrepreneur On Fire Podcast.
All of us have had an “ah ha” moment, a time when an idea popped into our mind and provided the insight that we immediately knew that could change our lives. For most it stays there, an idea, an unrealized thought that never becomes a reality. For John Lee Dumas, it became a multi-million dollar reality. John was working in real estate when he realized the power and potential of podcasting. He realized the need for a daily podcast that profiles profiling entrepreneurs and business leaders. He launched Entrepreneur on Fire and the rest is history. In this episode, John shares the story of how his entrepreneurial drive, determination and innovation brought him into the world of podcasting where he was able to turn his hobby into a successful business.
VCorp’s Seth Farbman talks about entrepreneurship, the importance of giving and how to hustle when starting your own company. Did you ever hear a story about the guy who was so dedicated to his idea that he slept on his couch to work through the night, growing his business into a multi-million dollar company? Well, Seth Farbman actually did that. While working as a lawyer, he came up with an idea for a company. After launching the company with a close friend, he literally slept on his couch to deliver twenty-four hour service to his clients. Years later he sold his company for many millions. I sat down with him to speak about how he took an idea and literally turned it into a multi-million dollar business.
Do you have a great idea? Something that will change the world? Something that will free you from teh 9 to5? How can you tell if your idea is a good viable one? Many people work their 9 to 5, dream of quitting and freeing themselves. Charlie and VCorp's Seth Farbman talk about that "aha moment" where the lightbulb goes off and how to distinguish between something mediocre and a truly unique idea that will change everything.
In this episode we speak with Jason Gelber, co-founder of BD Health Services. After receiving his degree in mental health and addiction, Jason did an internship in a drug-rehabilitation facility.

Gelber and his partner, sought to open their own facility, but they hit one obstacle after another. Everyone they turned to discouraged them and they didn’t have the money, the space or the experience. But they had the vision and the self-confidence and that was enough to launch their first facility.

“It’s about the journey, not the destination” is an adage fit for Scot Cohen. Scot, co-founder of the uber-successful Iroquois Capital Fund, started his career with no business education, experience or money. He couldn’t even land a job. All he had was the will to succeed.

Professor Steven Brown was rejected from his first job after earning his doctorate. Why? Because he was disabled.
He was totally qualified, and initially accepted, but the company didn’t want to hire someone with a disability. This rejection may have discouraged most people, but not him. It led to three decades of supporting, defending and advocating for the disabled community. He became a professor, author and co-founder of the Institute on Disability Culture. In this interview, Steven opens our eyes to a world many people can’t even imagine, teaches us how to follow our passion, overcome challenge and demand that every human being be treated with respect.

As a kid, there were a few careers that I always dreamed. Top of that list? Air Force pilot. What could be cooler than flying an F16? On this episode, I get the chance to talk with Capt.

This past Sunday Peter Kaisen, a 76-year-old veteran, committed suicide in the parking lot of a VA Medical Center on Long Island after being denied admittance to the emergency room for issues related to his mental health. He was unable to get the adequate care he needed despite the fact that he served and protected our country. This week's show is dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces.
In 2003, Noah was in Iraq when a roadside bomb nearly killed him and left him without his right arm and leg. Upon his return, he suffered from depression and worst of all, hopelessness. But Noah found a way to overcome his challenges and rise from the ashes.
Noah shares with us his personal story, giving us insight as to how each of us can become a greater and deeper person because of our challenges, not despite them.
Today, Noah is a personal trainer, motivational speaker, Dancing with the Stars competitor, founder of the No Excuses Charitable Fund, and face of a special edition of Armitron watches.
The Olympics stand for something much greater than the athletes and the competitions. The Olympics are a metaphor for life, representing the difficulty and struggle each of us face in order to reach our goals. Our souls have a deep inherent desire and drive for greatness that makes us want to grow and thrive. But it's hard, pushing for greatness is not easy. That's why we watch the Olympics, so we could live vicariously through the athletes and get a shot of greatness.
What does it take to beat mediocrity and be an Olympic athlete? How could we incorporate these traits of greatness in our lives?
Tune in as we discuss this and much more this week on The Charlie Harary Show
Charlie talks about the conservation he had with Division I Track Star and why these athletes are so great
What causes a strong team, marriage or business to fall apart?
This week we take a deeper look at the Obama presidency and Trump campaign to uncover the elements and phases of implosion. We talk about the key character trait and skills needed to retain success and what we could do to avoid implosion in any area of our lives.
We cover this and much more this week on the Charlie Harary Show.
This week Kazir Khan challenged Trump with his son's military death in Iraq. How did Mr. Trump choose to react? Trump decided to fight him head on and is now getting killed in the polls for it. Had Trump bowed his head and folded his cards, this would have been a different story.
So why didn't he do it? Why do we justify our actions even after we realize we're wrong?
Because we love being right. It's hard for us to give in an sit out.
But the best managers know it takes strength and humility to fold, the ability to know when to cut your losses is the key to greatness. It's the difference between being a good leader and a great one.
We cover this and much more this week on the Charlie Harary Show.
There is a unifying thread between the Roger Ailes scandal, Volkswagen scandal and recent events in Germany that we could all relate to.
Many times we are in position to act without apparent consequence, to get away with it, to do something that nobody will find out about. We think we won't have to pay for what we do. Rather than doing the right thing, or stepping up and admitting fault, we cover up our actions. We think we can get away with it.
But if there is one thing that I have learned as a student and is all over this week's news is, "everything catches up"
So who are you when nobody else is watching? Do you want your choices and actions to catch up to you?
This week Charlie was on The Buck Sexton show discussing how the war on terror is not one of guns and armies, but a war of ideology.
Recognizing who we are and being proud of our nation is the only way we could win the war on terror. We have to know and understand what it is that we are fighting for, and push for it to the end. This is a key to greatness in our own lives too. We have to have a clear picture of who we are and where we want to go and fight for it.
So what's holding us back from being the best we could be? We talk about that and much more this week on The Charlie Harary Show.
On this week's show, we talk about the greatest impediment to our happiness and success, our minds. When looking at the reaction of the press to the presidential elections, we see the overwhelming presence of the confirmation bias. People like to think they are right and so they create theories and then look to the world to support those theories. That's what certain news outlets always report the same way. Our two party system only encourages this narrow thinking and is hurting our country.
Where does this bias come from? How do we get rid of it in our lives? We will discuss all of this on the show.
Charlie gives a practical example of how confirmation bias effected Steph Curry in the wake of his loss in the NBA Finals.
The recent shooting in Orlando, FL was the deadliest attach on American soil since 9/11. Rather than using the opportunity to galvanize our nation, President Obama and the republican nominee Donald Trump neglected to step up and identify the source of the issue: radical Islam.
What's missing here? Clarity.
Clarity enables us to know and understand what we are dealing with. Only then can we move forward and fight evil to overcome terrorism.
The importance of clarity goes even further and seeps into all areas of our lives. Knowing where we want to end up is the first step to getting there. If we want to be successful in life, our greatest challenge is identifying what it really is that we want, even more than the effort needed to achieve it. We discuss this and more on this week's podcast.
How can you be better at anything you do?
This week we covered a key element of success. More important than having natural talents and abilities is having grit, or "stick-to-it-ness"
Malcom Gladwell touched on this with his 10,000 hour rule in his well known book, Outliers. The people who do the best are those who stick to their projects and goals for the long term. Those who push forward even when things get tough is one of the indicators of success in the long run. Many times, talent is overrated, the most talented are those who give up the soonest.
But it goes further. Just sticking to something isn't enough, there is another aspect that is the key to success. We will discuss it on the show.
Charlie Harary fills in for Buck and looks ahead to the California primary and offers two really big reasons why Hillary Clinton is collapsing. Also, with more and more people coming forward claiming that Trump University was a total scam, Charlie reads direct from the Trump University playbook and takes a closer look at some of their shady and predatory sales tactics. Plus, what makes Steph Curry so successful?
When one out of every six millennials in our country are either unemployed or in jail, it's no wonder we have so much political unrest.
This week we take a step back to look at how the economy works and how we could use it in our favor.
Transactions, the process of purchasing goods and services for cash or credit, are the building blocks of our economy. The more we spend money, the more the economy grows. The more productive and valuable we are, the more money we make and the more we can spend. The issue is that today's economy is being generated on how much money we could borrow and no longer on how much we earn.
Over the past decade, the economy has been running off of debt and it's finally catching up to us. We're feeling the side effects of overindulgence and lack of discipline. Tune in as we discuss the difference between consuming and investing, good and bad debt, how to stay ahead, and how to manage money right.
When the economy goes from pro-individual to pro-government, the American people suffer most. Economic struggle can easily lead into hopelessness. Feeling unable to improve and change our future is what leads to irrational decisions, and accepting empty promises.
This past week, Charlie filled in for Michael Opelka on the Pure Opelka show and discussed how the left is influencing online news consumption through Facebook, our celeb obsessed culture and how irrationality is adding up to success for on Presidential hopeful.
Together with Jake Novak, a national editorial columnist, Charlie talks about America's presence in the larger, global world and national leader and Donald Trump's recent meeting with Paul Ryan in Washington DC.
This Thursday was the 68th birthday of The State of Israel, a tiny country smaller than the state of New Jersey.
Surprisingly, despite unfavorable conditions, Israeli's rank high on happiness and life satisfaction surveys around the world. In just 68 years Israel has become a world leading tech superpower and is responsible for developing much of the technology responsible for computers, mobile communication, social media, health advancements and more.
How is this possible - and how can use this to stick to our resolutions and make real change?
For us to make real change in our lives and climb the mountain to success, we have to reach for a dream that is realistically ambitious and believe in what is possible. Tune in as we discuss how to tap into your dreams and make them a reality.
Charlie discusses how Israel has been successful despite its challenging geographical circumstances.
America is known far and wide as the land of opportunity, the land of promise. This is the land of the American Dream.
What fuels the American Dream? It's the drive each and every one of us has within to improve and change our condition, to work harder today for a better tomorrow. This hope for a brighter tomorrow comes down to one thing: belief in one's self.
Do we have that as a people? Do we believe in ourselves and take responsibility for our lives?
The campaigns of Trump and Sanders may indicate otherwise. Both candidates tend to blame others for the country's failures, and as a result we have learned to victimize ourselves and have slipped into a state of helplessness and hopelessness. As Americans, we must know that our dreams do not fade when the world says no, they fail to become a reality when we give up. When we feel broken and no longer feel we are capable of change -- that's when we let go of the dream.
We, not others, need to believe in ourselves and be the driving force for a better tomorrow. We must take responsibility for our lives and push forward and persevere. Only then can we be who we are meant to be and make our dreams a reality.
There is something to be learned from everyone, even from the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. They can teach us means to have a vision, push past fears of vulnerability, and step up to challenges.
When we put ourselves out there and try to reach greatness we become vulnerable to failure and criticism. This is where most of us crumble, we're scared to expose ourselves. Incredibly, Sanders has pushed past the discomfort of vulnerability and has dug in his heels. He is dealing head on with the challenges associated with running for President -- regardless of his age. The same holds true for anyone who has reached greatness -- including Walt Disney and Steve Jobs who each had an idea, made themselves vulnerable and dealt with the challenges that stood in their way.
We discuss the story of Exodus and what lessons can be learned from it. Each of us has something to give to the world, but it's up to us to choose greatness and endure the challenges and pain that come our way. Only then could we free ourselves from whatever it is that's holding us back.
Charlie discusses if we as humans do enough to challenge ourselves in our every day lives. Charlie compares world lessons from ages ago, such as the amount of Israelite's that chose to stay in Egypt rather than leave and follow Moses.
Ethan Couch, the affluenza teen, who was recently found hiding in Mexico, just got sentenced to 2 year in jail. The media’s obsession with Ethan started when at his trial (for killing 4 people while driving drunk) his claimed the affluenza defense. Whats affluenza, you may ask? On today’s show, we delve into the utter ridiculousness of affluenza, and how it relates to a more fundamental character flaw, our inability to take responsibility.
Shirking responsibility is one of our greatest impediments to personal greatness. Its been issue for us since the beginning of time, ever since Adam and Eve. Adam doesn't get kicked out of the Garden of Eden because he ate the forbidden fruit, he gets kicked out because he doesn't take responsibility, he shifted the blame.
Great people dont shift blame, they take responsibility. Kobe Bryant who played his last game this week shows us the exact opposite -- he and Ted Cruz both show the fact that being relentless and working hard pays off.
We also share advice from one of the most successful financial advisors in New York on how to habituate effort.
Until now we have never experienced any candidates like Trump or Sanders. What makes them so successful? Could it be their extreme views.
In today’s world on information, could it be that all we pay attention to is the most extreme voice? What does that have to do with how we make decisions in life?

Know anyone who will fight to the end to be right?
The recent Lewandowski events highlight our deep need to be right as individuals. We feel the need to protect ourselves. Why? because we fail to distinguish between who we are and what we do.
This show delves into how overcome insecurity and develop a deeper sense of confidence whether we succeed or fail.
Why is it important to make a distinction between who you are and what you do? In regards to the Trump campaign manager issue with Corey Lowendowski.
What can we learn from the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels?
Cheering the deaths of innocent civilians is the new face of terrorism. This fight is harder than we think, we are now fighting against the embodiment of evil. Until we understand and identify it we will never be able to move forward. Recognizing the root of our issues is the key to moving forward and growing from our mistakes, otherwise we will always live in the defense.
So what can we learn from these attacks? We talk about the power of purpose, finding meaning, and fighting for something bigger than ourselves.
Why don't we accomplish the goals we know we can achieve?
Climbing the ladder of accomplishment comes hand in hand with vulnerability -- to get to the next rung we must step over the space of uncertainty. To reach greatness, we must move the timeline from tomorrow to today.
We are also going to share the best ways to build relationships to be as effective as possible.
Have you ever been taken advantage of?
Each of us has a dream, a direction we want our lives to take. When someone allows us to tap into that, we start to follow along and many times ignore the signs that are right in front of us. We no longer see the world as it is, we see it the way we want it to be. Could that be whats happening with the Trump and Sanders supporters?
We are also going to share the best business advice Charlie's ever heard along with what steps you can take be sure you can rely on another's promises.
