Food, Family, & Philanthropy
Hello and welcome to Food, Family, and Philanthropy, the podcast that combines my passions for real estate, family, food, sports, and most importantly, giving back to the community. I'm Michael Nathanson, and for nearly two decades, I've been working in the real estate business in beautiful South Florida.
Throughout my career, I have found that the most rewarding experiences are those that involve giving back to the community. And that's why I decided to create this podcast: to explore how we can all make a difference through the many aspects of our lives. Whether it's supporting local businesses, connecting with loved ones, or getting involved in philanthropic endeavors, I believe we all have the power to positively impact the world.
In each episode, I'll be joined by amazing guests – from restaurant owners to real estate professionals, to family members, friends, and mentors. We will discuss how we can use our passions and resources to create meaningful change in our communities. And, of course, we'll indulge in some delicious food along the way!
So, whether you're a foodie, a philanthropist, a sports fan, or just someone who wants to make a difference in the world, I invite you to join me on this exciting journey. Follow us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, and let's explore the many ways we can positively impact the world through food, family, and philanthropy!

Ep. 30 - Roots, Purpose, And Possibility: The Story Behind The HAB Center with Sherry Henry
In this heart-centered and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Sherry "Shadelle" Henry, the dynamic Executive Director of the HAB Center in Boca Raton. With warmth, wisdom, and a little Jamaican spice (literally!), Sherry shares the personal and professional journey that led her to champion adults with developmental differences and mental health challenges. From her family roots in Jamaica to her husband’s lovingly prepared allergy-safe meals, Sherry’s life is a mosaic of culture, compassion, and purpose-driven leadership.
We explore the power of inclusion through the HAB Center’s transformative programs—from advanced manufacturing and therapeutic horticulture to the sweet launch of “Hability Honey.” Sherry reminds us that joy, dignity, and independence are not luxuries—they're essentials. Whether you're curious about meaningful philanthropy, passionate about social enterprise, or simply hungry for a story that will feed your soul, this episode will shift how you see community, capability, and what it truly means to belong.
