Meet Josh Eisenberg: From Abundance to Wealth

My name is Josh Eisenberg, host of From Abundance to Wealth. I have been a real estate professional for almost 20 years and have been involved in well over a billion dollars in transactions. My professional and personal journey has brought me to share this podcast with you.

I started working in Manhattan on complex and sophisticated transactions as a young family man right after the Great Financial Crisis, focusing on distressed debt acquisition. I learned a lot about investment and real estate and started my own small investment and property management company a few years later. Over the next six years, our investments did great. I learned many lessons about investing and building a company – some of them the hard way – and I also developed a strong affinity for the investors who trusted us.

This led me to get my CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®) certification in 2017 so that I could focus on providing more rounded advice to investors and professional clients. Over the next few years, I began managing a family’s real estate portfolio and worked with seasoned consultants to transform a family with real estate into a Family Office – a more structured organization with an eye towards future generations.

Three years ago, I met an old friend I had not seen in over ten years. He was working for Mesila International, a non-profit based in Israel that provides financial coaching services to Jewish families. This seemed like a great opportunity for me to give back to my community, so I entered their coaching training program. Their approach involves a synthesis of practical financial discipline, development of clear visions for the future, and sensitivity to the role of psychology and emotions in financial success. The overlay is a Torah perspective on the roles of faith, goals, and methods to deploy the tremendous effort involved in making a good living.

I have coached dozens of families in the last few years, most of them to a high level of success. The coaching process is intensive and time consuming – it can only be provided to a small number of clients at a time. I have noticed trends in the concerns and frustrations that clients have, certain habits that they need to improve on, and practical or esoteric tips and approaches that have helped clients unlock their potential and resulted in true breakthroughs.

My goal in producing this podcast, From Abundance to Wealth, is to present clear, practical, effective tools, tips and approaches to a larger and more diverse audience. At a minimum, it helps me develop and clarify my own thoughts and ideas. My hope is that it will resonate and provide value to you.
