“What insights will you discover from the lessons I learned on the journey of a lifetime?”

This specialty program serves as an entertaining keynote to open or close your conference or corporate event.

It provides an inspiring companion to any one of my deep-dive presentations.

What do attendees say?

"Rabbi Goldson relates his fascinating life's journey with the humor and eloquence of a modern-day Mark Twain. His presentation left me feeling inspired to contemplate and develop my own life's story with deeper interest and renewed vigor.”

“Tales of the Hitchhiking Rabbi was an incredible journey of suspense, life lessons, and wisdom that inspired me to take steps in life, even when we cannot see what is on the other side… I recommend this program to anyone looking for inspiration, adventure, laughter, and the gifts of living life one day at a time – and following our heart, in spite of challenge or adversity.”

"So genuine! So engaging! Storytelling at its best, where, at each turn, you learn to glean the profound from even the tiniest failures and successes."
