This is a video from 2009 with me and Drake, the biggest rapper in the world.

What a lot of people don't know is in my early twenties I was a major player in the night club business. My company was called More To Life Entertainment.

I would bring big celebrities to clubs. I spent most of my nights in night clubs until 4:00am, working.

Shortly after this video was taken, I started filming a reality show about my company.

I made aHollywood-style premiere for the first episode. I invited TV networks to sell the show.

Thousands of people came that faithful night. But when I aired the show infront of all those people, I crashed.

I looked at myself on the screen, and said to 'this is not the way I want to live.' I couldn't see myself promoting garbage for the rest of my life. I left my own event, without telling anyone.

I went into a deep soul-searching period for over 6 months. I looked deeper into my Jewish roots. I was not born religious, so I barely new anything. I fell in love.

I put G-d first, and never looked back. The One Above had all the richness and answers I was looking for.

I get judged by a lot of people. 'How can he claim to be observant and be so out there' they say.

Lesson learned, don't judge a book by it's cover. Now you know.
