This week, I decided to do something a bit differently. I wanted to post a video episode from BiblioTech, a CTech video series I produced just over a year ago. In the summer of 2023, I interviewed several authors about their newly published books, and today’s episode will be from its archive: Meet Yaniv Rivlin. Yaniv is the Founding General Manager of Bird in Israel, where he also ran the EMEA Government Partnerships department. Before that, he co-founded and served as the Executive Vice President

I’ve been thinking a lot about parenthood recently. Those who know me personally will know that I have my first child on the way. In the summer, I’ll be the father to a little boy - and I couldn’t be more excited and more nervous.But today’s world isn’t easy for boys. They’re being raised to think that any masculinity they possess is somehow toxic. Or that they should or should not be acting a certain way.On top of that, western nations are seeing men as the victims of deaths of despair - that is,

As I approach the 10-episode milestone of this podcast, I have been on a journey to discover what exactly I want this to be. I am meeting with guests who all have unique insights or experiences in their personal lives or in a professional capacity.It’s been a challenge, but I feel each episode gets a little easier; every time I whip out the camera, I get a little more confident at producing these, and each episode gets a little better.I suppose what I’m trying to say is that I remained motivated to

It's no secret that Israel’s reputation has taken a tumble after the Hamas attack on October 7 and the subsequent war fought in Gaza, headed by Iran and its proxies.We’ve all seen the online conversation and the physical protests at college campuses and across the streets of European countries.Whereas many of Israel’s supporters suggest that a loud minority creates this noise, sadly data is showing this changing sentiment toward Israel has further intensified: a poll by YouGov shows that in the last

A lesson in resilience - #0006, Adir Freilich

2025/02/16

I first met Adir Freilich in October 2017, soon after I moved to Israel. For the first year, we worked on a podcast together called Startup Camel. I didn’t know it at the time, but that would be the first time I dabbled in Israeli high-tech and podcasting - something I would still be doing almost eight years later!In the time I have known Adir, he has remained optimistic and resilient despite four near-death experiences. * At age 7 he was hit by a car* At age 17 his appendix burst, requiring

Somebody Stop Kanye - #0005, Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor

2025/02/10

Last Friday saw Kanye West, also known as Ye, unleash a tirade of antisemitic, sexist, and abusive tweets on X where he called himself a Nazi, praised Hitler, and blamed Jews for a myriad of problems.It was a return to a form we saw in December 2022, when his last outburst led to him being dropped by Addidas and largely canceled by the wider world.A little over two years have passed, and the world is different. Elon Musk purchased Twitter, turning it into X, and reinstated his account in a turn that

This week, I was joined by Omri Hurwitz, regarded by many as a media maven in marketing, tech, PR, and more.If you’re active in the Israeli tech ecosystem, you have certainly come across his content over various social media channels where he meets with prominent players in the sector while offering his analysis of news events.Omri and I have shared a few conversations in the past about New Media. Over the years we have discussed Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and its consequences, Fake News, and

2025/01/17

The world woke up today with the news that Israel and Hamas have finally secured a deal to release some of the hostages from the October 7 attack and slowly begin the end of the war. It was news met with mixed emotions: some thinking the deal was a bad one and many just praying for the return of as many hostages as possible. To discuss some of the details and emotions behind the arrangement, I invited Eitan Goldstein to share his views on the last 24 hours and predict the next stage in Israel’s

2025/01/16

Starting a new media venture can be daunting, especially since the results are published online for the world to see. Of course, we all know that more often than not it is because the world does *not* see what is published. And it’s easy to be discouraged when your content is getting lost in the forest of creators. I’ve been interested in this for a while; I purchased my microphone in 2019 intending to start a podcast - truthfully, that would have been the best time to do it right before a pandemic

For the last few months, I have been sharing written work and short video interviews conducted on behalf of my work at CTech. Today, I wanted to share for the first time here a long-form interview from its popular BiblioTech series. A few months back I spoke to Judah Taub, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Hetz Ventures, about his book ‘How To Move Up When The Only Way Is Down’. It is designed to transform readers’ decision-making by recognizing Local Maximums and skill-building based on lessons
