As we say on Wall Street, "Everything before the 'but' is nonsense."
Too many people talk in big words about how “important and valuable” something is, but when it comes time to write a check or take an action, they suddenly disappear. My guest and instant friend on March 31, 2025 is the exact opposite of that.
There is no “but” in his life – if he believes in something, he takes immediate responsibility and action. Oded Rahav is a man of vision and abounding love for this world and humanity, which is in and of itself something of a miracle, given that he is Israeli and has endured this latest outburst of hateful evil from his neighbors, along with many prior eruptions of genocidal hate.
He has the energy of a dozen people and turned a passion for long-distance swimming into a foundation to restore the Dead Sea – a body of water of immeasurable value to the human journey. Tune in while we discuss the Dead Sea Guardians. https://deadseaguardians.org/
The conversation is informed by the fact that Messina's Federal Budget, written by our Host, inspired Elon Musk to create DOGE. Strong moral intention can lead to real world solutions that inspire and create stronger, healthier societies. There are many good projects in the world.
Many valuable ideas worth donating to. This is one of them. Not only is this an initiative that everyone should support, but as we discuss on the podcast, you should get some skin in the game.
Help us work towards a solution. Buy the ticket - take the ride. Swim out into the ocean. Love instead of hate. Make some art. There are many ways large and small to get involved in healing the Dead Sea and by extension, Israel and her neighbors.
You can make any size donation on the Guardians website. You can ALSO benefit yourself, the larger economy and the Dead Sea by buying a Gaju (Bitcoin 3.0) mining license. You can start mining Gajus immediately; a portion of every license subscription will go to support the Dead Sea Guardians directly.
