🚨 Introducing Excel Talks: The Excel Community Podcast

Every impactful journey begins with a story - and today, we’re opening the door to many of them.We’re excited to launch Excel Talks, the ⁠Birthright Israel Excel⁠ Community’s new podcast created to spotlight the people behind the products, companies, and ideas shaping our network.Our first episode, recorded during the 2025 Excel Forum, brings together ⁠Nir Hamou⁠ (’19) and ⁠Jonathan Harel⁠ (’18) for a candid conversation about growth, risk-taking, and the unexpected turns that define a founder’s path.

This episode covers:

How studying abroad in Spain expanded Jonathan’s perspective
The pivotal steps that led him through Excel Ventures
Why side projects aren’t “extra” - they’re catalysts for personal and professional development
The inside story of building ⁠Fine (acquired by HoneyBook)⁠ (⁠HoneyBook⁠)
And the lesson behind one unforgettable message:“Always open a suspicious email - what’s the worst that could happen?” 😅

Excel Talks is more than a podcast - it’s a space for real stories, honest conversations, and the insights that emerge when community members share their journeys.
