In this powerful interview, New York City Mayor Eric Adams opens up about his personal journey, his deep faith, and his commitment to protecting the Jewish community in New York and beyond. From his struggles growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia to his health transformation, Mayor Adams shares how resilience and spirituality have guided his life and leadership.

We also discuss:

  • His personal story of overcoming adversity and faith in God

  • The rise of antisemitism post–October 7 and how NYC is responding

  • His now-legendary speech declaring "We are not all right"

  • The responsibility of young Jews to stand tall and fight hate

  • Why this upcoming election is so critical for New York's future

  • His visits to the Lubavitcher Rebbe's resting place and the spirituality that drives him

Mayor Adams delivers a clear message: Jews should not live in fear — no more fleeing, this is the generation that must fight back.

Watch until the end for an emotional story about how his words gave strength to Israeli soldiers preparing for battle.

Every week, Nachi and Momo sit down for a conversation that feels more like a discovery than an interview. Their Meaningful People podcast explores the journeys of fascinating individuals from across the Jewish world, though you don't need to be Jewish to find their stories compelling. These are artists, educators, thinkers, and community builders-people whose lives are driven by purpose. Each episode delves into the personal turning points, challenges, and inspirations that shaped them, moving beyond public personas to reveal the real human experience behind them. You’ll hear conversations that are as likely to be funny and lighthearted as they are profound and reflective, offering a genuine sense of connection. This isn't about abstract ideas, but about the lived wisdom that comes from a life examined. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective that feels both uplifting and grounding, a reminder of the diverse paths that lead to a meaningful life. From Meaningful Minute, this podcast sits at the unique intersection of spirituality, self-improvement, and education, all through the power of personal narrative.
