In this inspiring episode of A Lighthouse in the Dark, Michael Fishman sits down with entrepreneur, author, investor, and trailblazer Arlan Hamilton for a powerful conversation about resilience, reinvention, business, family, and building a life of purpose after hardship.

Michael and Arlan open up about their shared experiences being unhoused, the lessons learned during seasons of uncertainty, and the strength it takes to keep believing in yourself when the world has not yet caught up to your vision. Together, they explore entrepreneurship as more than business. It can be a path toward freedom, dignity, ownership, and opportunity.

Arlan shares wisdom from her journey helping others build businesses, create wealth, and move toward financial independence, especially people who have been underestimated, overlooked, or left out of traditional systems. This conversation is about what happens when good people are given access, encouragement, tools, and belief.

Honest, hopeful, and deeply motivating, this episode is a reminder that where you start does not have to decide where you finish.

Because sometimes the darkest chapters become the foundation for building a brighter future.
