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. 34 - More Than Mugs: How Her 2nd Chance Is Redefining Recovery Through Purpose and Products
In this inspiring episode of Food, Family, and Philanthropy, host Michael Nathanson welcomes Jessica Williams, Etsy Manager at Her 2nd Chance, a nonprofit based in Boca Raton that empowers women in recovery through paid employment, personal growth, and community support.
Jessica shares how the organization provides a one year program rooted in healing and skill building, helping women rediscover confidence and stability through meaningful, creative work. From handmade mugs and candles to personalized gifts, each product sold supports the mission — offering 22 minutes of paid employment and the chance to start again.
Michael and Jessica also swap stories about food, family traditions, passion fruit desserts, and the unexpected life wisdom found in favorite meals and mismatched footwear.
This episode is a celebration of second chances, soulful storytelling, and the power of showing up — flaws, heart, and all.
