Jonny Gould's Jewish State

Find the rest of Jonny's podcasts at http://jonnygould.substack.com Julia Haart doesn’t hold back in this raw and riveting conversation. From her early years in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to building a billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse, she shares the gripping, often painful journey behind the headlines. This is the woman behind My Unorthodox Life—but what she reveals here goes far beyond reality TV. In this interview, Julia opens up about what really drove her to walk away from a life of religious constraints, how she built Elite World Group from the ground up, and why comfort and beauty don’t have to be opposites. She shares how a scene from Bridget Jones’s Diary sparked her revolutionary shapewear brand, why she believes God is closer to her now than ever before, and how she balances deep Jewish pride with fierce criticism of religious extremism. She also speaks openly about receiving death threats, witnessing the devastation of October 7 firsthand, and why unity among Jews—regardless of religious label—is now more crucial than ever. And in a surprising twist, Julia teases two groundbreaking inventions she’s working on—one that could change global communication, and another that might help end child labor. This is more than an interview. It’s a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and unapologetic truth-telling. If you think you know Julia Haart, this conversation will make you rethink everything. Watch until the end—you won’t want to miss her vision for the future of Israel, Judaism, and humanity itself.

Agree or disagree, Joe Walsh’s counter-intuition on American politics, Donald Trump and the Middle East is hard to ignore.  With one and half million followers across his social media channels, Joe, who served Illinois's 8th district in the House of Representatives returns to Jonny Gould’s Jewish State for a second time.  Because having appeared on the show before Donald Trump’s second election victory, here’s why. A lifelong Republican with a penchant for throwing a Tea Party, Joe opposed Donald Trump so much, he voted Kamala for the White House - whatever their differences.  He said the two-party system needed a shakeup. Oh, and he also told me in his first ever response to my first ever question to him: "I want to retire and die in Israel".  Not Jewish. An American Catholic. So does he believe in Israel’s society more than America's? So much to catchup on. Hold tight, here’s Joe Walsh.
