5 Lessons A Father of 11 KIDS Has Learne...

DR. MONA AMIN
About this episode

I created this podcast because I believe we can learn so much through community and hearing people’s stories, whether we are experiencing something similar or not. I connected with Moshe Popack, a real estate entrepreneur, the co-founder of a national community gardens non-profit that serves to enrich and empower children, and the father of 11 kids. 


He joins me to discuss:

  • The importance of “chief adaptability” as a parent
  • Non-negotiables to his family and relationship with self and his partner
  • What he hopes all parents would let go of as a father of 11 children himself


Connect with Moshe on Instagram @mpopack and listen to the Common Denominator Podcast. Check out the non-profit organization Neighborhood Farms USA.
