-----------------------------------------------
What if the biggest relationship problems you’re struggling with… aren’t actually your fault?

This episode's guest, Katarina Polonska, is an Oxford-educated behavioral scientist and high-performance relationship coach whose life story is as powerful as the science she teaches.

She went from calling off her wedding, battling an eating disorder, and rebuilding her identity from scratch…

…to becoming one of the sharpest thinkers in the world on attachment theory, partner selection, and why high achievers struggle in love.

In this episode, Katarina breaks down the real science behind attraction, emotional patterns, and why we keep choosing partners who hurt us. She reveals:

⭐ Why intelligent, successful people often repeat the same relationship mistakes
⭐ How early attachment styles shape every romantic decision
⭐ The behavioral “scripts” that sabotage dating and long-term love
⭐ How to stop overfunctioning, people-pleasing, and self-sacrificing in relationships
⭐ The biggest shift in modern male/female dynamics—and why it’s rewriting the rules
⭐ Why calling off her own engagement became her greatest act of emotional courage
⭐ The 3 micro-steps anyone can take to repair (or attract) a healthy relationship
⭐ The truth about dating apps and why so many feel emotionally exhausted

Whether you’re single, dating, or decades into a relationship, Katarina’s insights are refreshingly blunt, deeply compassionate, and rooted in science—not clichés.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Why do I keep choosing the wrong people?”
“How do I break this cycle?”
“How do I finally feel secure in love?”
…this episode will change how you think about relationships forever.

👇 FULL conversation with Katarina Polonska now available. Watch to the end—her final message for anyone at an emotional crossroads is worth it.

The Silent Crisis Changing Everything: US Fertility Rate {1.6} vs. Replacement Rate {2.1)!

Do you ever wonder what happens when the world quietly slips below the point of population replacement?

It’s not a dystopian fantasy—it's the reality unfolding right now across the developed world.

In this episode of Do You Ever Wonder, we tackle The Birthrate Bomb, an unprecedented demographic crisis with profound consequences for every facet of life.

Our guest is Elliot Daigneault, an entrepreneur who has closely studied the growing crisis.

The numbers are stark: the required replacement rate is {2.1} children per woman, yet the United States fertility rate has plummeted to {1.6}.

This gap is creating aging societies, shrinking consumer bases, and an economic system built on perpetual growth facing an existential reckoning.

Inside the Episode: Economic Collapse, Real Estate Chaos, & the Workforce Crisis

We dive deep into the real-world consequences of this fertility rate collapse:

• Real Estate Market Disaster? What happens to housing demand and property values when there are fewer young people to buy homes? We explore how a declining workforce and aging demographics could permanently alter the real estate market.
• The Future of Business: How can businesses survive and thrive amidst crippling labor shortages? We analyze the impact on wages, automation, and the long-term viability of industries that rely on a growing talent pool.
• Economic Reckoning: Can our pension systems, Social Security, and national debt withstand a rapidly shrinking base of workers? We break down the threat to the overall economy and the end of predictable GDP growth.

The Million-Dollar Question: Is Immigration the Solution?

Can sustained immigration solve the demographic deficit and save our economy? Or does the answer require a completely new approach to family, work, and community life?

Is the future one of innovation and adaptation… or quiet decline?

SHOCKING: Was the Massive Counter-Protest Crowd Last Night Full of REAL Activists... or PAID ACTORS?

That was a huge crowd, no doubt! They are passionate, loud, and full of energy, but are they paid actors?

What really goes into creating buzz, influence, and public momentum?

In this episode, Do You Ever Wonder goes inside the world of organized influence and explores how crowd dynamics shape perception and power.

From corporate launches to advocacy movements, the art of influence management has become one of the most powerful tools in business and media.

On this episode of the Do You Ever Wonder podcast, host Mike Haltman sits down with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, to discuss:

• How organizations use events and crowds to amplify messages
• The role of public relations, perception, and storytelling in modern activism
• Ethical considerations of paid participation and advocacy
• The evolving relationship between authentic engagement and strategic influence

This isn’t about sides, Democrat vs. Republican — it’s about understanding how influence works in a connected world where attention is currency.

From Eastern Europe's Jewish Underground To NYC Real Estate And The Underworld: A Story of Survival, Business, And Family

It's a personal story from Martin Hausvater that begs to be made into a movie or documentary!

What happens when old-world survival meets the New York construction underworld? In this powerful video, we unpack Martin Hausvater's incredible memoir,

'Hausvater: From the Jewish Underground to NYC's Underworld'

This is a multigenerational story of grit, risk, and resilience. We explore how family stories of survival and Jewish resistance in Eastern Europe fighting against antisemitism during the 1940s shaped later generations' approach to life and business in New York City.

The video delves into the toughest challenges a family faced when first entering New York's construction world. You'll learn about the "gatekeepers and fixers" who controlled projects and how navigating informal rules was just as important as skill and hard work.

Discover the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the family, where "savvy" could often be mistaken for "crooked”.

We discuss the tension between assimilation into NYC's business culture and maintaining Jewish identity and ethics. The video explores how generational memory, from scarcity and trauma to resilience, influences business decisions even decades later. This is a raw look at how antisemitism and other challenges were navigated by one family.

This story offers powerful lessons for today's entrepreneurs and anyone navigating industries dominated by informal networks. It's a raw and honest look at how one family built a legacy from a past of resistance and how transparency and modernization have changed the construction world.

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in real estate, construction, Jewish history, and business ethics.

Key Takeaways:

• The connection between a Jewish resistance movement and the NYC construction world.

• How three generations navigated ethical dilemmas in business.

• Timeless lessons on survival and resilience for modern entrepreneurs.

Does Political Commentary Always Have To Be A Pis-ing Contest?

In this episode of Do You Ever Wonder, host Michael Haltman sits down with Madeline Summerville — an even-handed Democratic Party strategist, political communicator, and Jewish thought leader with a growing TikTok presence.

Madeline is a welcome guest on CNN, MSNBC (MS Now) AND Newsmax and Fox because of her approach to political discourse.

We dive into the future of the Democratic Party, the power of the far left, and the political cost of 80-20 cultural issues that divide voters. From crime and public safety messaging to the rise of antisemitism in progressive spaces, Madeline brings both insider strategy and personal perspective.

👉 Some of the topics we cover:

• Why Democrats struggle with crime messaging and media narratives
• How 80-20 cultural issues drive wedges within the party
• The influence of the far left vs. mainstream Democrats, including the surge of Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race
• What Jewish Democrats are saying about the rise of antisemitism in politics
• Why messaging, storytelling, and framing matter more than policy in today’s media-driven environment

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in U.S. politics, Democratic strategy, antisemitism, United States culture, media influence, and the future of American elections.

Schools Out, Antisemitism In: Exposing Year-Round Jew-Hatred on Campus

Why has antisemitism become normalized in American universities?

In this powerful episode of Do You Ever Wonder, host Michael Haltman sits down with Andrew Pessin—Philosophy professor at Connecticut College, author of Israel Breathes, World Condemns, Campus Bureau Editor at The Algemeiner, and Fox News contributor—to expose the festering crisis of rising campus antisemitism.

We start with Andrew’s raw, unfiltered reactions to words and phrases shaping today’s toxic environment:

• Useful Idiots,
• Normalization,
• Political Rhetoric,
• Ivy League,
• Anti-Zionism vs. Antisemitism,
• Anarchists,
• Islamists,
• Foreign Money

Together, we dig deep into:

• How antisemitism has become socially acceptable on college campuses
• The failure of university administrators to protect Jewish students
• The impact of federal scrutiny and whether it drives real change
• The lived experiences of Jewish students facing intimidation and hate
• Why fields like Middle East Studies and Gender Studies are breeding grounds for anti-Zionist narratives
• The daily campus antisemitism roundup and under-reported incidents the media ignores
• The political implications of leaders like Zohran Mamdani and why Jewish voters sometimes support anti-Israel candidates
• Where Andrew still finds hope, and what must change to protect Jewish communities
  
  If you care about combating antisemitism, defending academic freedom, and understanding why Jew-hatred is resurging in higher education (and elsewhere in society), this conversation is essential listening.
