  • Aleeza Ben Shalom: Shoot For The Moon & You'll Land Among The Stars
    Jul 19 2023

    Modern-day matchmaker Aleeza Ben Shalom doesn’t only see things in black and white, but rather, she appreciates the differences and unique circumstances of every one of her clients. You must’ve seen her in Netflix’s Jewish Matchmaking, and if you’re like us, binge-watched the entire series.


    Stepping out of line was no easy feat for Aleeza, as it was an uphill climb through uncharted territory in her personal life. Aleeza shared how she had to be strong in her convictions in her pursuit of becoming a more observant Jew.

  • Don Schoendorfer: From The Ground Up, Elevating With Wheels
    Jul 6 2023

    Sometimes stepping out of line takes 20 years to come to fruition. Don Schoendorfer is the author of Miracle Wheels and holds a Ph.D. in the biomedical engineering field. Haunted by an image he saw on vacation in Morocco of a woman crawling on the ground, Schoendorfer was encouraged to take a leap of faith and launch his own nonprofit organization, the Free Wheelchair Mission. His intention was to design an affordable wheelchair out of parts purchased at Home Depot and Toys “R” Us. Schoendorfer’s prototype’s success left him no choice but to pursue his humanitarian efforts by starting a nonprofit.


    The need for wheelchairs in Third World countries is too great to be ignored, and Schoendorfer knew he had to get his hands dirty and get physically into the mix by creating wheelchairs that could be put together and given away to those in need with the help of missionaries and NGOs.

  • Danielle Robay: Danielle Robay Puts A Spin On Pretty Smart
    Apr 5 2023

    Sometimes your naïveté in a given situation works in your favor. Such was the case when Danielle Robay booked a one-way ticket to Los Angeles to “work on the internet,” for what she believed would be the new era of news media. Boy, was she right! As a journalist within the entertainment reporting industry, Robay caught a few lucky breaks, interviewed some celebrity dogs, lived in her grandmother’s friend’s garage, and managed to make a name for herself through her tenacity and grit. When Robay was younger, her dance teacher told her, “if you feel like you have to pee or you have nerves, it means you care.” She still carries this motto, and as the host of the PrettySmart podcast and an E! Entertainment Television segment, to this day, she still feels those butterflies before an interview (We get you, Danielle. So do we.).

    Danielle turned the tables on us and asked questions about all things podcasting and getting through the tough times. Our fireside chat (minus the fire) puts things into perspective and brings out the core of stepping out of line.
