Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Jonathan Shugart

Have you ever wanted to set up a charitable foundation? Then you’ll want to hear our interview with Jonathan Shugart, founder of B Charitable.

Jonathan says he believes most people are fundamentally charitable, but often don’t have the funds to set up a foundation, normally for the very rich who want to give, but also need a tax advantage. Now, anyone can do it.

B Charitable is a convenient platform recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity, but without a minimum investment. In other words, it’s not just for the rich any more, now anyone can decide how much they want to give, and fund, and get a tax deduction, too.

Please tune in to our interview today, and hear how you can set up a lifetime of charitable giving for you and your family. And hear what motivated Jonathan to do it, too. It’s really quite remarkable.

The story of a refugee is gut-wrenching, and anyone who has had to flee their country has a different story to tell.

Today we speak with Mona Hajjar Halaby, author, “In My Mother’s Footsteps,” about her experience as a refugee, as well as her mother who was also a refugee as a young girl.

Mona details what happened to her family when they were forced to flee their homeland. It’s a sad yet beautiful story of life and forgiveness, particularly when she and her mother return to where her mom was forced to leave as a young girl. In fact, you’ll hear a story about what Mona and her mother discovered at her mom’s childhood home. It’s heart wrenching, yet filled with much beauty.

Please tune in to hear this magnificent true story of life and courage on #DeborahKobyltLIVE, available on all podcast platforms.

Who didn’t wonder what was going on behind the scenes of the hit TV-show, #Moonlighting? #CybillShepherd and #BruceWillis were so alluring, let’s face it, we were all wondering at home what was happening when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Tune in today when we speak with #ScottRyan, author, “MOONLIGHTING, An Oral History,” which provides a detailed analysis of the show, it’s mega-stars, and much of the support staff to hear about what really went down.

Scott also wrote the mega-successful book about #DavidLetterman and the final six months of his late-night show, along with a book on the famed hit, “30-Something.” Let’s just say Scott loves the TV classics.
