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.

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!

Ep. 54 - From Cuba to Carnegie Hall and a Mission to Give Back
Aug 3, 202644 min
Music education can shape a child's confidence, creativity, and future. For Yalyen Savingon , that belief became the driving force behind the Volta Music Foundation , where she is creating opportunities for underserved youth to discover the life-changing power of music. Michael Nathanson sits down with Yalyen to explore her remarkable journey from studying music in Havana, Cuba, to performing with renowned orchestras across the United States before launching a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to music education. She shares how her experiences inspired Volta Music Foundation's mission to provide free instruments, after-school music programs, cultural exchanges, mentorship, and unforgettable performance opportunities for young musicians. The conversation highlights the foundation's partnership with Carnegie Hall through the Link Up program, its after-school string education initiatives, and the impact of giving thousands of students the chance to perform on stage for the very first time. Yalyen also reflects on her family's support, the role music has played throughout her life, and why collaboration is essential to creating opportunities for the next generation. Whether you're passionate about music, education, philanthropy, or helping children reach their potential, this conversation is a powerful reminder that one opportunity can change the course of a young person's life.

Ep. 53 - Why Investing in Local Nonprofits Changes Entire Communities
Jul 27, 202647 min
Real community change doesn't happen by accident. It happens when people invest in local organizations that understand the needs of the neighborhoods they serve. Michael Nathanson sits down with Shannon Hawkins , Director of Community Engagement at the Quantum Foundation , to explore how the foundation supports grassroots nonprofits across Palm Beach County through strategic grantmaking, community partnerships, and its Quantum in the Community initiative. Shannon shares how the foundation looks beyond traditional healthcare by investing in organizations addressing food insecurity, housing, transportation, financial assistance, and other basic needs that directly impact health and well-being. They also talk about the importance of community engagement, why unrestricted funding can transform small nonprofits, how local organizations identify needs before anyone else, and why volunteering and giving back creates a ripple effect that strengthens entire communities. Along the way, Shannon shares stories about family, favorite local restaurants, basketball, music, and the experiences that inspired her career in philanthropy. If you're part of a nonprofit, looking for ways to get involved, or simply want to make a greater impact where you live, this conversation offers an inspiring look at how collaboration and local leadership can create meaningful, lasting change.

Most of us never think twice about turning on the tap. But what if the water we rely on every day contains far more than we realize? Michael Nathanson sits down with Frank Ramos, Founder and CEO of Save the Water, to discuss the growing challenges surrounding water quality, contamination, and public awareness. Frank shares his remarkable journey from immigrating to the United States from Cuba to becoming a chemical engineer, environmental advocate, and founder of a nonprofit dedicated to identifying and removing harmful contaminants from water sources. The conversation explores the Everglades Clean Drinking Water Initiative, forever chemicals, endocrine disruptors, water testing, and the science behind protecting drinking water for future generations. Frank also reflects on family, a 60-year marriage, volunteerism, fishing, community involvement, and why clean water is one of the most important issues facing our world today. Whether you're concerned about environmental protection, public health, water quality, or simply want to learn how one person can make a lasting impact, this conversation offers an eye-opening look at a resource many of us take for granted.

Ep. 50 - Protecting Children and Strengthening Families with HomeSafe CEO Matthew Ladika and COO Amanda Stone
May 25, 202648 min
When thousands of children and families in Palm Beach County hit a crisis, HomeSafe is often the first call. On this milestone 50th episode, host Michael Nathanson welcomes Matthew Ladika, CEO of HomeSafe, and Amanda Stone, LMHC, the organization's Chief Operations Officer, for a candid conversation about what it truly takes to protect children and rebuild lives in South Florida. Matthew walks through HomeSafe's full range of services: four specialized therapeutic group homes for youth with significant trauma histories across Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and West Palm Beach; their domestic violence program Safety Net; and Pond Place, an independent living facility near Palm Beach State College for young adults aging out of the foster care system. In one small but telling moment from the episode, Matthew describes a young man from their program who stopped by the office on the way to his own high school graduation, needing someone to help him tie his tie. Amanda brings the clinical lens, talking about her background as a licensed mental health counselor and how a trauma-informed, strength-based philosophy shapes every program HomeSafe runs. The conversation also covers their Healthy Beginnings birth-to-five program, which reaches nearly every new family born in Palm Beach County, and a new initiative to help childcare directors and teachers better support children with challenging behaviors before they face expulsion. The episode also explores a shared connection to the Y: Matthew spent six years at YMCA of the USA in Chicago before coming to Palm Beach County, while host Michael Nathanson currently serves as board chair of the YMCA of Boca Raton and hosts Shoot for a Change, his annual two-day basketball fundraiser benefiting the Y's financial assistance program. HomeSafe's signature Classic Rock and Roll Party returns January 30, 2027 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, featuring Billy Joel guitarist Mike DelGuidice. Volunteers are welcome for Safety Net groups on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. To learn more or connect with HomeSafe, visit helphomesafe.org or call 561-383-9800.
