Send us Fan MailWelcome to the hall of imagination. Tonight I was looking up at the wax figure of the writer Walt Whitman– And I was not surprised in the least when he looked down at me and began speaking.George, I was most commonly known as "Walt" among friends, family, and in much of my correspondence, rather than as "Mr. Whitman." My parents shortened my given name from Walter to Walt when I was born, and  used this familiar form throughout my life. As a poet, I believe I embraced a democratic and accessible persona, and the informal "Walt" aligns with that approach. However, in public and formal settings—especially as I gained fame—I  was often referred to as "Mr. Whitman" or by various honorifics such as "the Bard of Democracy". In my later early years in Camden, New Jersey, I was generally called "Mr. Whitman" by the press and new acquaintances, but those who knew me well continued to use "Walt". Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

(Celebrating 80yrs of community radio) We here at WKXL and NH Unscripted realize that theaters rely very little on ticket sales. Those are a small drop compared to the actual costs of producing a show. And so many theaters depending on ad revenue and donations to make up the difference. Enter the unsung heros. Or in this case "hero", singular. Dr. Marc Bard and his organization "Paintings for a Purpose" . And that purpose? According to is website: "Our mission is to advance the well-being of our communities by financially supporting charitable organizations that provide valuable community resources and services. 100% of our sales revenue is donated to those community-based charitable organizations." Yes 100%! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! (NH Unscripted is recognized as one of the Top 100 Acting Podcasts on the web and also featured in the Top 50 New Hampshire Podcasts list by Millionpodcasts.com)(Airs M/W/F @9am on 1450AM/103.9FM Concord, 101.9FM Manchester)

Some things in life just amaze me. And when that thing is a self-less act that fact just amplifies my amazement. Todays guest, Dr. Marc Bard and his organization “Paintings for a Purpose” are a living example of what I'm talking about. He paints, then sells the paintings and then gives away ALL of the money from the sales. ALL of it! "100% of our sales revenue is donated…"  His paintings are whimsical, sometimes touching watercolors that are snapshots of life in NH. A wonderful conversation with a local hero (my words not his).

Imagine being able to dig through Shakespeare's manuscripts and ask him about his writing process. Did King Lear survive in the first draft? What if Hamlet originally said, “To live or not to live?” While we can only dream about that opportunity, scholar and Everyday Shakespeare host Caroline Bicks experienced something close to it when she gained unprecedented access to the archives of another famous author: Stephen King. The Bard of Avon and the King of Horror have more in common than you might think. Both are popular and prolific authors who have been praised and derided for writing for the masses. But both also pay close attention to the sounds of words, the flow of names, and the rhythms of sentences. And sometimes, King's work even takes inspiration from Shakespeare himself. In this episode, Bicks draws fascinating parallels between Shakespeare and King and shares how she became the first scholar permitted to explore King's personal papers. Her book, Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King recounts her chance to live every scholar's dream—while surrounded by the stuff of nightmares.

Does Christopher Nolan have a pattern when it comes to writing women? In this episode of Middle Row with Coco Mocoe, we analyze Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey through a feminist film lens—examining how his female characters often act as emotional vessels, plot catalysts, and symbols of male regret. Drawing from Sverre Sigfussion's thesis, "Noir Guilt Complex: The Death of Women as a Catalyst for Character Development," we look back at films like Inception, The Dark Knight, The Prestige, and Oppenheimer, and map those character tropes onto The Odyssey's key female figures: Penelope (Anne Hathaway), Circe (Samantha Morton), Calypso, and Athena.

Can AI really make you a better real estate agent? David Howe believes it can, but only if it's backed by accurate data and expert judgment. In this episode, James Short sits down with David Howe of Raine & Horne Lower North Shore to explore how data-driven decision-making is transforming modern real estate. David shares how he successfully took over overpriced listings, used market evidence to reset vendor expectations, and achieved strong sales outcomes through strategy instead of guesswork. The conversation dives into how top-performing agents are using AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini (formerly Bard), and Perplexity to improve appraisals, prospecting, and market research. David also explains why AI is only as good as the data and prompts behind it, and why human expertise remains the ultimate competitive advantage. Whether you're a real estate agent, business owner, or entrepreneur, this episode offers practical insights into combining AI, local market knowledge, and evidence-based decision-making to stay ahead in an evolving industry.

You can find Emily Franklin at www.emilyfranklin.com or on IG at emilyfranklinauthor   At the end of May, we attended a Carmichael's book event featuring author Emily Franklin, who has written numerous books. Her latest titled Love & Other Monsters is about a time in history that most English majors look on with awe and wonder. Her novel is about the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori traveled to Switzerland and, as the legend goes, told scary stories to each other, which ended up leading to the first vampire story and the book we now know as Frankenstein. But Franklin's novel focuses on a member of the party who doesn't get any acknowledgement—Mary's step-sister Claire Clairemont. Emily did a great job making the Carmichael's audience want to learn more about Claire's story, so we invited her on to share it with our listeners.     And for our book recommendation segment of the show, we are talking Shakespeare, the Bard, the Swan of Avon, Willy Shakes.  Shakespeare is such a touchstone in literature in ways that we don't regularly think about like classic phrases and tropes.  But you don't have to be (or not to be) a Shakespeare scholar to enjoy the books we talk about this week.  We have a historical mystery, witty nonfiction, historical fiction, a memoir, a middle grade novel, and a novel in verse.  All are influenced in some way by Shakespeare's plays or the man himself.     Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- Love and Other Monsters by Emily Franklin  2- Grandma Joy & Me: A Journey of Healing , One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan  3- The Humming Room by Ellen Potter  4- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett  5- Summer of 1816: A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day  6- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  7- The Vampyre by John Polidori  8- Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Mushrooms Taught Me About Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival by Maria Pinto 9- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman 10- Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  11- Wisdom Corner by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  12- A Five Star Read of Fellow Book Lover Joshua  - Devotions by Mary Oliver  13- Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd  14- Much Ado About Mistletoe by Christina Dodd  15- Shakespeare: The World as a Stage by Bill Bryson  16- By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult  17- Enter the Body by Joy McCullough  18- Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench  19- The Wednesday Wars by Gary D.

Send us Fan MailODYSSEYThe tales of our quartet of heroic hacks hath concluded, and alas Season 17's continued voyage to cover a single work otherwise shunned by the codes of TGTPTU would have to wait another day as the movie theater houses of IMAX and lesser film abodes have brought to the weary masses a film of epic proportions and grand length. That motion picture would be THE ODYSSEY (2026), and the man of Briton to foregather the talents of the camera-wielding Double Hoyte and the Talented Mr. Damon harkens back to adventures during TGTPTU's Season 12 and is no other than Sir (IRL!) Christopher Edward Nolan.   As your humble scribe is no soothsayer, he cannot in good faith foretell how the film will deviate from the classic work of Homer (blind and of Ancient Grecian fame, not Simpson of Springfield). Nor can yours truly hint at the reactions the hosts Ryan, Ken, or he, himself, Thomas will have, nor may he here throw his customary shade and poison the reader of such unnecessarily ramose sentences as herein contained toward his views on the film.    Will adapting an oral tale later committed to archaic languages befall the fate of Aronofsky's Noah (2014, covered in Season 11)? Will Travis Scott with his role as The Bard for Nolan surpass his previous acting credit in Harmony Korine's Aggro Dr1ft (2023)? Will Jon Bernthal battle Robert Pattinson in a clash between the comic book titans The Punisher and The Batman? Will Bill Irwin's cyclops surpass both his previous Nolan role as robot and that of whoever was the cyclops in Krull (1983, covered earlier this season)? Will the film contain or be structured so that the beginning and end meet in the middle, again cribbing TGTPTU's patented pincer movement and leading to further litigation? Will there be an Iliad prequel?   Of all this and more, I am humbly ignorant. But I will wager anyone a Way of the Gun DVD with postage paid that Irwin's cyclops will rival that of James Marsden's or Tye Sheridan's.

Brent Lavin, principal at Ironwood Medtech Partners, shares how he helps early-stage medtech companies build commercial strategies from concept through commercialization and exit. Brent reflects on his path from electrical engineer to launch expert, including lessons learned after seeing how overbuilt product features can complicate V&V and FDA review, and why founders must make early decisions with the end in mind. He discusses common startup pitfalls, the importance of pairing technical innovation with a strong commercial plan, and practical leadership insights on hiring “the right seat,” delegation, and setting clear standards while allowing teams flexibility in execution.    Guest links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brent-lavin/ Charity supported: Save the Children Interested in being a guest on the show or have feedback to share?

[00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host, Lindsey, and today I'm delighted to welcome as my guest Brent Lavin. Brent is currently principal at Ironwood Medtech Partners, where they help build the commercial logic into medtech startup innovation from concept through commercialization and exit. As an engineer turned launch expert, Brent has helped commercialize 20+ 510K PMA products and led the buy side of four M&A transactions, so he knows what buyers value beyond the science. With a diverse background from GE Healthcare to C.R. Bard to BD to now leading Ironwood Medtech Partners, he thrives on helping early-stage companies navigate the complex healthcare landscape and build successful companies. All right. Brent, welcome to the show. So glad to have you here today. [00:01:39] Brent Lavin: Yeah, great to be here. Thanks so much for the invite. I appreciate it. [00:01:42] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. Well, I'd love if you would start by just sharing a little bit about yourself, your background, and what led you to medtech? [00:01:50] Brent Lavin: Yeah. So, I'm Brent Lavin. I live here in Phoenix, Arizona. I've recently founded Ironwood Medtech Partners, which is my company helping early-stage medtech. But I spent nearly 20 years in strategic medtech, and so I originally came to the industry through the engineering function. I was an electrical engineer in product development and innovation. And after three or four years of that, decided I wanna move over into what was, what is traditionally product management. And so, through my MBA program and then starting with GE Healthcare, I've spent the last 20 years at this intersection of R&D innovation, strategy, business development, and marketing. And so, really great run. Have been on the buy side of several M&A transactions, and I try to bring all of that experience to the early stage so that, you know, companies as they start out, can be building for the future. And so, it's been a great journey in medtech, and I've loved it so far. [00:02:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay, so, so many things to ask about, but I'll, I'll start here. So, all right, so you're sa- you know, as you, you mentioned building towards the future and especially with these young startups that might not have a lot of experience in that particular kind of environment, or they're leading their company for the first time. What are some of the things that you see that maybe are pitfalls to avoid? Just, just like maybe some of the things that you've seen startups struggle with a little bit, and how can we help them mitigate those risks? [00:03:17] Brent Lavin: Yeah, there is a lot there, but let me just start by saying there is no linear path, and it is a very circular, ongoing process as you work through those early stages. And we call it the fuzzy front end for a very good reason. And sometimes you need to go down paths to realize that's not the right path, and you need to be comfortable with that. But at the end of the day, one of my goals is to help early-stage companies build with the end in mind because whether you acknowledge it or not, you're making decisions today that are ultimately gonna affect how you commercialize in the future. And so at least being able to make those decisions with your eyes wide open and understanding the trade-offs that are going on. And so for somebody that's been at the very end of that process, I, I can help inform, you know, those early stages so that you make priority decisions and trade-offs, you know, with full-scale information. [00:04:17] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Yeah. Well, I, I love the fact that you highlighted it's not a linear path, and there are a lot of things that go into, of course, the success of a startup. I'm wondering, in, in your role now, what are some of the areas which you see successful startups really thrive in as they're working with, with somebody like you to help make them successful from the start? [00:04:42] Brent Lavin: Yeah. Thanks for that question. I love working with early-stage founders that are passionate about their technology but especially those that realize where they may need to supplement their technical background with more of a commercial mindset. And so the, the people that work, that I work best with, are open to inputs and consideration of other options as they go through that process because you know, the, the famous saying, "What got you here is not what's going to get you there." And so while technical innovation is, is key that may not lead to an acquisition if you can't tie it to a strong commercial plan. [00:05:22] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm, mm-hmm. Yeah, so actually this is an area that I'm very curious about even in your own journey is, so you started off with that technical background as an electrical engineer, and I'd love to hear a little bit more about that as well. But maybe if you don't mind sharing a little bit about the transition or the learning process of going from that as a really good base to also being able to understand the full life cycle and how to make something succeed. [00:05:47] Brent Lavin: Yeah. Well, let me kind of go back to those engineering days and talk a little bit about how I made that pivot from engineering into product management. And to be honest, I didn't know exactly what I was doing at the time, but a-as an engineer, I was working with a product development team where we were creating a project. I was at a s- a contract design manufacturing company, and we were working with an outside company that owned a patent for a laboratory blood culturing instrument. And so we were their engineering partner, and what I saw firsthand was unfortunately, this customer at the time did not have full insight into the workflow and how the device was used in practice. And so as an engineering team, we frankly overbuilt many options into the product in order to try to s-satisfy everybody. And that seemed attractive at the time, but ultimately when we got to V&V, verification validation, and the FDA review process, it was a real struggle to get this on market. Now we ultimately did, but the epiphany for me was, I am really good at understanding engineering trade-offs and working with engineering teams to go through the process of evaluating different options. But I also really like working with customers and understanding what moves the needle and what's the difference between a nice to have and a need to have. And so, it was that kind of experience firsthand that led me to say, "I wanna operate at this intersection and really operate in both sides of that equation." And so ultimately I decided I needed to get an MBA in order to do that. So I left a, a good paying engineering job right after I got married and we moved to Madison and I got my MBA and then, you know, that ultimately led to GE Healthcare and, and then, you know, continued career in medtech. So thanks for asking that question. [00:07:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, okay, so your leadership journey, of course, has, has evolved over time as, as often happens, and, and you've gone from leadership positions within other organizations to, of course, now leading your own. And I'd love if you'd just share a little bit about that journey of, of growth and discovery, maybe some, you know, lessons learned along the way. [00:08:06] Brent Lavin: Yeah. So, let's talk a little bit about kind of my formal leadership in the, you know, corporate structure and organization. I would say, we were chatting beforehand that, you know, I really moved through slowly at the beginning of my leadership from one person to three people to five people. And as an ambitious person, I always felt like that was too slow. And so, but I think it was those foundational aspects of working very closely one-on-one with people, hiring, deciding who to hire, selection, onboarding having crucial conversations about performance management and how to put people in the right seat to be successful, all occurred when my leadership span was frankly smaller than probably I was hoping it would be. But at the proper time, my leadership expanded very quickly from five to seven and ultimately 22 people within about an 18-month period. And if I had not had those slow steps along the way, I don't think I would've been ready for that and I, I would've struggled. And so, even though my ambition was high, the pace was just right in order to be successful in that. Now, to your second part of the question of, you know, how do you then transition to this, this new role? That has been a learning experience, and I'm not sure I have it mastered but it is all about influence. And so, you know, leadership, even in a formal organization, while you can be connected on the org chart, ultimately boils down to influence. And so my goal is to influence early-stage companies to understand the trade-offs that they're making and hopefully help them chart the best path forward for the goal that they have, you know, individually. Every company is built differently, and so I try to channel what their goals are into my recommendations. [00:10:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Absolutely. So you mentioned something that is brought up often, but I think it's a concept that would be worth diving into, and that's the concept of the right seat, and I would love if you would share a little bit more about your philosophy behind that and how, as a leader too, if you know that there's perhaps somebody who's a great fit for your organization but isn't in the right seat, how do you help make that happen? [00:10:29] Brent Lavin: Yeah. So this is back to the seminal Jim Collins book. You know, get the right people on the, on the bus and then get them in the right seat, correct? And so I always tried to select the person first and then find the opportunity. And there are times where you need to pivot people. So let me tell a, a quick anecdote about, you know, a situation where we had somebody on my team, and this person had progressed through different product management roles, but this person also had a project management background and was really passionate about project management and brought those skill sets to product management. But they are different, and that... Her passion was in project management, and so I knew of some upcoming and different opportunities in the organization that would be very project management focused and that, that position was not even on the org chart at the time. But as I had discussions and, and understood that that was becoming a reality, then I turned and, and offered that to the, to the person and ultimately they, they took that new opportunity. And so, it's really understanding really their long-term goals as well as, you know, their strengths, their natural strengths. Not just where they're operating, but what their natural strengths are, and then sometimes even creating an opportunity for them. [00:11:51] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, and so, okay, so, so you've had kind of, a really cool opportunity to get a really good look into some of these startup companies who, you know, their founders might not be in a place where they're able to necessarily hire a whole bunch of people right away. How can you come in and support them when they're, say, like really young, maybe pre-seed, trying to figure out what the next right step is and, and able to sort of help lead them also in that transition of, you know, perhaps single founder to also a leader of a company? [00:12:32] Brent Lavin: Yeah. That's a great question, and I'm early in that journey, right? And so, maybe not some specific examples around that, but certainly again, you know, leadership is influence. And you know, I try to understand as a leader of people in a, an organization what everybody's goals are, personal and professional goals are, and then match, you know, again, what I can do to, to their, to their interests. And so when you talk about, you know, early stage CEOs, sometimes it's just a matter of listening as an unbiased outside observer who has no money in the company. And so, it can just be providing perspective from years of experience and asking insightful questions, you know, even before there's a relationship, a business relationship, between, you know, my company and theirs. And the goal is to help everybody be successful. Like, I'm a passionate medtech leader that wants, you know, th- these innovations to reach market. And so, people have lifted me up along the way, and if, if I can do that just in, in conversations and mentorship, certainly willing to do that and have done that. But as, you know, a CEO transitions then into seed and Series A, just providing, you know, again, leadership perspective from, you know, my corporate experience can be helpful. Because ultimately people are not gonna do things exactly the same way that you've done them as an individual contributor, and you have to become comfortable with allowing people, giving people the, the guardrails, and then allowing them to operate in their own style to achieve the results that you've laid out for them. [00:14:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. So yeah, and th-that's been something that's been talked about quite a bit is that art of delegating, and how do you give your people the right guardrails without making it so narrow that it feels like you're kind of micromanaging, but you ha- you have to maintain culture and brand, you know, like tone in the way that you speak. So, what are some strategies or tips that you might have for, for a leader who is in the position, needs to delegate? This is maybe a first time. It's a little bit hard to let go of the baby, as it were. So, so how do you help them navigate that? [00:14:55] Brent Lavin: Ye- yeah, I, I would go back to my own experience where, you know, I probably didn't do this the best the very first time that I had people on my team and was delegating. And I would say that most high achievers struggle with delegation for the first time because people are going to do things in a different way than you did. And I tried to teach my way, but as I grew and expanded and got, you know, mentorship and, and learned through that process, I started to go f- you know, higher o- on the ladder to, you know, values and culture and expectations, to your, to your point before. So, as a leader you have to be consistent and just unending in your communication of expectations, values, and standards, and then hold people to those. And so I, I say this often. I live in South Chandler, Arizona, and Scottsdale is maybe 40 minutes away. You know, a new leader would say you know, "You gotta go up the 101, you need to take Exit this and that to get to the coffee shop." Where as I grew more comfortable and confident, I would say, "We're gonna meet at this coffee shop in Chandler." And if they wanted to take surface streets and hit all the stoplights, so be it. And so you gotta become comfortable with that. But at the same time, our standard is "We're gonna meet at this coffee shop at 11 o'clock sharp, and I expect you to be there." [00:16:26] Lindsey Dinneen: That's a great analogy. I love the way you put that. Thanks for sharing it. Yeah, that's-- and that's a really interesting way of thinking about it, is there's, there's many avenues to getting something done correctly and to meet those expectations that you set forth, but there can also be room for creativity on how that's done, how that's accomplished. [00:16:46] Brent Lavin: Yeah. You know, one of the team values that, that I had with my most recent team was around this idea of, of play to win. And you know, over time, I actually adjusted that with some feedback and some further, you know, kinda study on leadership toward striving for excellence. And so I think the play to win was a little bit narrow in that you can't always control everything around you. And winning is an outcome that may be dependent on some other factors that, that you can't influence. And so that was a little bit narrow and, and too outcome-focused. But strive- striving for excellence was something that we could talk about daily, and you may not win, but as long as you strive for excellence in whatever we're asking you to do, like that's the standard. And so, that became a lot more robust, I would say, in the conversations that we had around setting and ensuring expectations. [00:17:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, I love that. Excellence over perfection, especially for those of us who are what I would fondly refer to as a recovering perfectionist. So. [00:17:53] Brent Lavin: Mm-hmm [00:17:54] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. [00:17:56] Brent Lavin: Yeah, it's a present tense recovering, right? Because we're never fully recovered. But... [00:18:01] Lindsey Dinneen: That's right. That's right. Absolutely. No, I love that. So just out of pure curiosity, when you were, say, I don't know, seven, eight years old, could you have possibly imagined becoming an engineer and/or doing what you do now, which is so much even more robust? [00:18:18] Brent Lavin: Oh my gosh, Lindsey, I love this question, because I couldn't, you know? I didn't. I grew up in small town USA and you know, I, I was really focused on it, you know, being the best at any single sport I could play. I, I was just a ball kid and, and but I loved entrepreneurship. And it's funny you say this because I think in high school, you know, they have those like, "What are you gonna do when you grow up?" I wanted to own a sports bar. And yeah, so like I wanted to help serve good food and, and just have a lot of TVs around and and be an entertainment spot. But I just kind of had that entrepreneurial, you know, itch. And so I, I pretty well knew I was gonna be an engineer just because I was good at technical things, and I loved it. Like, it wasn't work to me. But I didn't even understand what medtech was. And I was 22 years old in my first engineering job. I was six months into the job, and I ended up in the ER on the weekend, and excruciating abdominal pain. And they ran a CT scan, and they found the problem, they relieved the symptoms, they sent me home, and they said, "You need to see the surgeon on Monday morning." Not really understanding what was going on, but I distinctly remember being in that surgeon's office the next week and seeing the axial image of the CT scan on the light box, like the physical light box back then. And I was fascinated. I was fascinated that they chopped my body like a loaf of bread, and within about 30 seconds they could identify the issue. And you know, the surgeon said, "Y- you have this recurrent diaphragmatic hernia, and you're gonna be in surgery in two days." And so I was not scared. I was more fascinated than anything, and that is what crystallized, you know, my need to get into, to medtech. I didn't even know it existed, but I said, "I wanna go do that." And if you fast-forward about five years, there I was working for GE Healthcare, you know, the maker of those CT scanners. And so, I think medtech is really hard. It is not the most glamorous industry. So we all need that why, and for me, again, that Monday morning in the surgeon's office is my why. [00:20:31] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. I love that. Yeah, and I love that that's your why, and sort of a follow-up question to that then is, are there any moments that stand out to you along your journey being in medtech that particularly reinforced to you, since making that decision, say, that you are in the right place at the right time? [00:20:52] Brent Lavin: Yeah, and, and I don't mind talking about this. I'll tell this other story. About 12 or 13 years ago, I ended up learning that I had an autoimmune condition, and if you fast-forward, I, I was on some pharmaceuticals, and I've recovered, and I'm all back to normal, but I still live with that. But you go to today, and there are neuromodulation solutions that are addressing autoimmune conditions. And so we're now giving patients a choice between a device-based intervention and a pharmaceutical intervention or a pharmaceutical treatment. And I did not love those pharmaceuticals. They, they had certain side effects and I didn't wanna be on them the rest of my life. Now, I've weaned off of most of them, but patients today are getting an option for a device-based intervention, and so that's what medtech is about. And so when I hear stories of like th- like this, I'm like, "I'm exactly in the right place." And so, there's so much opportunity for us to innovate and impact pa- impact patient lives whether that's ourselves, you know, our family members, or people we may never meet. [00:22:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, thank you for sharing that story. That's-- it's incredible to see. I think one of the best parts about being in the industry is getting to feel hope on a daily basis, yeah? 'Cause there's always something new coming out. These, like you said, medtech is really hard. There are a lot of really tough days, sometimes very not glamorous, and you just... if you have that why, that helps pull you through those days. But I really love what you touched on there of how those innovations that are coming through, that is reason for hope and just optimism again, especially in a, in a world that needs that really badly. [00:22:45] Brent Lavin: Yeah, I think it's easy to be cynical about healthcare. But I guess I choose hope. And yes, we have some structural things that we need to work through. Yes, we have a reimbursement climate or regulatory structure. But to me, that's just a great puzzle, and the, the innovations that do have an impact, not only on healthcare patients, but also economics, are the ones that are gonna win. And so I don't mind that it's a high bar, you know? And so, that just means that we need to all be a little bit better, 1% better, and continue to make a difference. [00:23:20] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. No, that's, that's so great. I really love that. Okay, so pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a master class on anything you want. It can be within your industry, but it doesn't have to be. What would you choose to teach? [00:23:41] Brent Lavin: Yeah. I love that you asked this question, and I could go a lot of different directions. I, I think I'm gonna say, you know, I would love to teach the process of structured customer insights. And so I'm thinking back to the whiteboard of an early stage and then throughout the con- the, the journey of a company. But I think there's a big gap between asking questions to learn and asking the best questions that can ultimately influence your business decision. And so it's not only what you're asking, it's how you're asking it, why you're asking it, and then doing the proper follow-up during the conversation in order to learn the true insight. And so I love baking and I love barbecue, maybe back to my, you know, sports bar dreams. But I think there's a big difference between following the recipe of a baking, you know, process, and doing barbecue, which is very process-oriented and no two things are the same. And so I think we need to approach customer insights a little bit more like barbecue, where you definitely have a goal and a process, but you're willing to adjust and make the changes as you learn in order to affect, you know, the business decisions. [00:25:06] Lindsey Dinneen: Hmm. Yeah. Okay. I really like that. I also like the illustration of the barbecue analogy. That's, that's fun. So okay, so I do have to ask a follow-up question then. So how did this skill set come about for you? Is this something that you, you learned, say, during observations? Or how did you develop this, this masterclass, shall we say? [00:25:28] Brent Lavin: Yeah. I, I think it's, some of it's through my own kind of learning in having conducted just hundreds of physician interviews. And I think, again, early in my career, I used to go through a questionnaire step by step and, and I'd get to the end and I'd have a report, but I may not have the insight. And I think as, again, as I became more comfortable with that process, I would, I would take U-turns or I would take the fork in the road, depending on where the physician was going, and continue to learn maybe not something that was on my roadmap, but something I still needed to learn. And then as I became in- came into leadership, I, I think I just saw it again with early product managers that wanted to follow a recipe and wanted to check a box toward customer insights rather than, again, truly getting in the customer's shoes. I think one of the most fun things of my job in upstream and innovation marketing is when I can interview enough physicians about a particular narrow procedure or product concept, if I can interview enough of them, s- typically between 20 and 30, depending on how complex, and I can start to think like them. And that's the ultimate of a product manager, is to think like the physician. Again, it all depends on how complex the procedure is and whatnot, and we should always be striving to learn. But when you can achieve this secondary kinda personality that mirrors what you've heard from all of these conversations, there's nothing better. [00:27:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Really cool. Okay, excellent. Thank you All right. And then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:27:19] Brent Lavin: Wow. I haven't thought about this in a while. I think, how do I wanna be remembered? Obviously, you know, for my family by, like, leaving, you know, a good family legacy, and also just, I showed up. I just put my shoulder down, did the best I could, certainly wasn't perfect. But I tried to just do the best with what God gave me, and it happens to be in the medtech world right now. And I think I'm uniquely gifted for where I'm at. But I still wanna make more impact over, you know, the next couple of decades. [00:27:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Mm, mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, and then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:28:06] Brent Lavin: Yeah, I, I guess I gotta just go back to my family right now. I got four teenagers, you know, and we're just in an awesome period of life, and I was traveling last week, and just being able to come home, you know, see my wife, see the kids, can't help but smile. So, you know, my two boys are twins, are graduating high school, and those days are, are kinda short, so I'm just trying to soak up every minute of that right now. [00:28:30] Lindsey Dinneen: That's wonderful. I love that. Well, this has been a really great conversation, Brent. Thank you so much for joining me today. We are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment.

Salvatori Ferragamo didn’t make beautiful shoes, he made shoes that work with the human body beautifully. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Rocket Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here along with Stephen Semple, and we’re talking about businesses and empires and how people grew their business and the decisions they made and all of those things. Hi, Stephen. Stephen Semple: Hey, David. Dave Young: I’m struggling here because you told me we’re going to talk about Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And you’re not even going to understand this. I think it’s a clothing thing, a fashion thing. Stephen Semple: Yep. Dave Young: But let me tell you what comes to my mind, my adult 60-plus-year mind. Stephen Semple: Oh, this should be entertaining. Dave Young: I think back in the ’70s, I think, the University of Nebraska Cornhusker football team had a quarterback named Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Oh, there you go. Dave Young: He’s a pretty good guy. Pretty good quarterback. And that’s what I though of when you said Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: Okay. Not him. Dave Young: Fashion didn’t come into it. So it’s not him. Stephen Semple: Not him. Dave Young: So there’s another Ferragamo somewhere. Stephen Semple: There is, believe it or not. Dave Young: Oh, I’m all ears. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the thing that’s kind of interesting about Ferragamo. They’re a pretty big player in the luxury brand space. They mainly do shoes, but it’s not as big as Gucci or Hermes or some of those other ones, but they still do like a billion dollars in sales. They’ve got, call it about 3,500 employees worldwide. They have 450 stores. 85% of their sales are shoes and their shoes for the most part run from about $750 US to about three grand. Dave Young: Okay. Are you wearing yours right now? Stephen Semple: I do not have a pair. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Do not have a pair. But what’s really interesting, so the company was founded by Salvatore Ferragamo, who was an Italian immigrant. The company was started in 1923 when he opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in California where he became known as the shoemaker to the stars. Dave Young: I was thinking this would be an Italian company, but this is an American immigrant story. Stephen Semple: Well, except in 1927 he returned to Italy and he established the company in Florence. And in 1938, he purchased the historic Palazzo Spini Feroni, which remains the company’s headquarters. And this is kind of where my story starts. Dave, as you know, I was recently in Florence where I spent two weeks just wandering the city and I literally came across the Ferragamo headquarters, which is this stunning old building that’s just right off the banks of the Arno River in the center of the city. It’s this beautiful store that on the ground floor, there’s a store on the ground floor, there’s the offices above. It’s all been beautifully restored and a museum in the basement. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: So I had to visit the museum. Dave Young: And we missed the opportunity for you to just have me fly over and we’d do this live from the plaza. Stephen Semple: That’s it. We did miss this opportunity, but it’s always an opportunity for an update. So I had to visit the museum and this is where I learned the story of Salvatore Ferragamo, which actually turned out to be really fascinating. He is a very real Renaissance-style man, or he was. Engineer at heart, studied anatomy, had patents for other industrial machines. And this is what really made him different. In the early 1900s, most shoemakers believed their job was to make attractive shoes. That’s kind of how the industry leaned. And Salvatore believed his job was to make shoes that worked with the human body. So he did something different. He studied anatomy. Dave Young: I like this guy already. Stephen Semple: He attended classes… Yeah. He attended classes where he learned how the foot carried weight, how the arch functioned and why fashionable shoes were painful. Then he redesigned the shoes based upon what he discovered. And to me, that’s part of the Ferragamo story that’s worth listening to. It’s not just about the shoes, but it’s the moment where he stopped thinking like a shoemaker and started thinking like a customer. Now, this was in the museum, which is kind of a tribute to the business. So how true is that statement? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So the next day I’m standing in line to climb the 458 stairs to the top of the Duomo in Florence. So while standing in line, often what happens, people get talking about where are you from? How long you’ve been? What have you seen? And the lady in front of me, Susan, asked an interesting question, “Have you seen anything that has surprised you?” And I told her about the Ferragamo Museum. I said, “That surprised me. It was really cool, really, really well done.” And she immediately told me they were her favorite shoes and she had a couple pair. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: I then asked her an important question. I said, “Susan, are they comfortable?” He said, “Surprisingly so.” Dave Young: All right, there you go. Stephen Semple: So I was in that moment sold, need to tell the story. In fact, went back to the museum, took more notes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Stephen Semple: So Salvatore Ferragamo was born in June 5th, 1898 in Bonito, which is just outside [inaudible 00:06:31], he was the 11th of 14 children. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: His parents were poor farmers with a small piece of land and much of the older children immigrated to the United States. So Salvatore’s sisters were being confirmed and by tradition in confirmation, you’re required to wear white shoes, which the Ferragamo family couldn’t afford. So Salvatore worked basically through the night making shoes for his little sisters. And he was like nine at the time. So basically a shoemaker was born. Dave Young: That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: So when his father died in 1912, the family situation got worse and shortly afterwards, Salvatore went to Naples to learn as much as he could about shoemaking. And when he returned to Bonito, he opened a small shoemaking business with six people, but his aspirations were larger than that. And he decided to do what many Italians at the time did, join his siblings in America. So March 24th, 1915, he basically sailed to New York where he landed at Ellis Island on April 7th. And from New York, Salvatore moved to Boston where he started working for the… God, the name of this company, you’re going to love the name of this company. The Thomas G. Plant Queen Quality Shoemaking Company. Dave Young: Amen. Stephen Semple: But they were doing these machine-made shoes and they didn’t have the same quality as the ones produced by hand. So he wasn’t really loving it, but he learned something. So he moved to Santa Barbara, California, where his brothers Alfonso, Girolamo and Secondino had settled. So in Santa Barbara, he opened his first custom shoe repair shop on 1033 State Street. And he was introduced to the world of cinema by his brother Girolamo, who ironed clothes for the American film company, and his cousin Jerry, who is a character actor in the serial, The Diamond from the Sky. So through his brother, Salvatore got a boot order for early Western movies and this opened the doors to Hollywood. But in 1916, Salvatore attended anatomy classes. We talked about the anatomy classes at the University of Southern California where he discovered the secret of comfortable shoe was supporting the arch of the foot, all about the arch of the foot. Now, life-changing thing happens for him. February 4th, 1920, he’s driving his car and he gets in a serious accident. His brother Alino dies and he actually almost lost his own leg. At Bard Memorial Hospital in Ventura, he decided to apply his learning of anatomy to designing a machine for limb traction to help- Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: Yes, to help in his own recovery. And this shapes his thinking. 1923, he transferred his business to Hollywood where he acquired the lease of the Hollywood Boot Shop at 6687 Hollywood Boulevard, just across from the Grauman’s Egyptian Theater. 1923, film director Cecil B. DeMille commissions Ferragamo to make footwear for The Ten Commandments. Other directors start to hire him for doing footwear and he starts collaborating with other directors such as David Wark Griffins, James Cruze, a whole bunch of them. But February 1926, Ferragamo received an American citizenship and a passport. So he’s now an American citizen. And he decides, here’s what he wants to do. He wanted to expand production but maintain quality and style. And he decided he was going to handcraft shoes in Italy and distribute them through the Hollywood store to these American clientele that he was developing, because this also opened up him doing work with the movie stars, right? So in 1926, he sets up Ferragamo Inc. And he leaves the United States and basically takes a liner to Rome and basically settles in Florence. And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And he gives birth to a company doing like 360 pairs of shoes a day thanks to 750 shoemakers. But here’s what he did. So remember he was working with the place that was manufacturing shoes? Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: Well, he looked at that manufacturing process and he went, “Well, you could do the same thing but still handcraft them or you break everything into… Dave Young: Into pieces. Stephen Semple: … to pieces. Dave Young: This is the production line story. Stephen Semple: The production line story except applying it to craftsmen. Still a handcrafted, small run of shoes. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: Because when they make their shoes, they don’t make 5,000 pairs. They make a small run of the shoes. But this human chain came from production. So he applied the assembly line approach he learned in America for making machine-made shoes and applied them to handmade shoes. 1920s onward Ferragamo experiments with all sorts of different materials. He was this real artisan who experimented with fish skin and straw and cork. And he patented lots of footwear such as the wedge. All sorts of different designs he comes up with. And in 1938, he rents a few rooms in the building he’s in today, establishes the workshop, and later he’s able to purchase the entire palace, which has been the headquarters ever since. And basically the Salvatore Ferragamo became a symbol of Italy’s reconstruction after the war through design and production. And they did a lot of inventions, the invisible sandal where the upper’s made of nylon thread, which in 1947 he received the Neiman Marcus Award, which is basically one of the Oscars of the fashion industry. And it was the first time it was awarded to an Italian for footwear. They basically did big innovations with stiletto heels, all sorts of things. Now there’s no question there weren’t setbacks along the way. 1929, the market crash hurt the company. ’33, they had to declare bankruptcy, but they came back. And he was a real Renaissance man. Among the patents held by Ferragamo, there’s many that have nothing to do with footwear, such as he has a patent on an offensive and defensive anti-aircraft system. Dave Young: Really? Stephen Semple: And a patent on the construction of Navy forts and a patent on a multiple launch torpedo. Dave Young: Holy cow. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Right? But the big thing that he talked about in his memoirs was he loved feet. He had this fascination with feet. He wrote in his memoirs, “I love feet. They talk to me. As I take them in my hands, I feel their strengths, their weaknesses, their vitality, or their failings. A good foot, its muscles firm, it’s arch strong is a delight to touch. A masterpiece of divine workmanship.” He doesn’t sound like an engineer, does he? Dave Young: No, but recognizing that there’s engineering going on, especially in your foot, it’s one of the most complicated parts of your body. Stephen Semple: Another thing he wrote in his memoirs was, “When I began studying human anatomy, I found my first clue to the problem in the distribution of weight of the body over the joints of the foot. I discovered the interesting fact that the weight of our bodies when we are standing erect drops straight down on the arch of the foot.” So when he studied foot mechanics, he was looking at the laws governing the way we walk, the architecture of the skeleton and how muscles function. And what he understood was how important weight distribution is between the center of the plantar arch and the ends of the foot, the heel and the toes, especially in motion, like that the foot provides joints and swivels and does all of this other stuff. So to support this complex structure, Ferragamo created this special steel shank inside of the shoe that allows the foot to move like an inverted pendulum is how he described it. Dave Young: Oh, wow. Stephen Semple: So he looked at how architects and builders of cathedrals use plumb lines to find the medial line and he applied that to the body to create this axis of equilibrium that sits right on the center of the plantar arch. Dave Young: Oh, that’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he had books and books and books on this in terms of how he was studying how the foot moves in standing and walking and things along that line. And his list of innovations went on and on and on and on. It was just really, really crazy. And as I said, when I looked at it, I went, “This guy is… He’s a Renaissance man. He’s an engineer. He’s an artist. He’s a philosopher.” He even had things where he talked about how there was these different personalities of women and how they interacted with their footwear. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: He created what we would call character diamonds where here’s their strength, here’s their weakness. It was amazing. Dave Young: Oh, he’s the kind of guy that if you walked past him, he could tell you exactly where your foot hurts, where your back hurts. Right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: He can see that anatomy. He can see the forces at work. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Those kinds of people are rare and kind of cool to interact with. Stephen Semple: Yeah. And even his early advertising, much more avant-garde art than commercial advertising. He hired this futuristic artist, Lucio Venna, to create his logo and advertising posters. And if you look at them, they were not typical shoe ads. They were artistic and abstract and in some ways you weren’t even sure… They were really beautiful and cool and inspiring. Dave Young: That’s awesome. Stephen Semple: So you can now see why when I visited the museum and I’m reading all of this stuff that I got unbelievably fascinated. And then when I meet the woman who was like, “Oh yeah, no, the shoes are surprisingly comfortable.” I’m like, okay, I need to go back. Dave Young: I think you’d look fine in a nice wedge. Stephen Semple: There you go. There you go. I find the wedges ugly. I was actually disappointed he invented those. And then even afterwards, I went into the store and looked at the shoes and the shoes are absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Dave Young: Very cool. Stephen Semple: So the thing I found that was interesting to me, there was a couple of lessons here. And I find this is a really common reoccurring theme with a lot of the empires, not thinking like somebody from the industry, but thinking like the customer. And he followed his passion, but his passion was to solve a problem. Yes, he wanted to create beautiful shoes, but lots of people were creating beautiful shoes. What he wanted to create were beautiful shoes that were comfortable. And he applied all that engineering knowledge to fashionable shoes. Dave Young: Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: He was thinking like a customer and he changed the way we look at shoes, he changed the way they were engineered. And he also then changed the way handcrafted shoes are made. He looked at that mass manufacturing model, which didn’t appeal to him, but looked at it and said, “I can apply this to handcrafted shoes.” Dave Young: All right. What a great story. What’s really strange, it’s a reverse immigrant story. He immigrated to the US, became a citizen, and then went back to Italy to change the world. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Everything about this guy was fascinating. And there was even a thing where they were talking about when he passed away, his personal book collection and how it had philosophy in it and religion in it and engineering in it and books on art in it. Just again, all of this very much Renaissance thinking. If you think about people like Leonardo da Vinci, who’s from Florence, that’s what he was. He was an artist and an engineer. Dave Young: Yeah. Great story. So I’m going to bring this full circle to the Nebraska quarterback, Vince Ferragamo. Stephen Semple: There you go. Okay. Dave Young: I did a quick Google search while you were talking to see if they were related. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And I don’t think they are because in 2016, the shoe company sued Vince Ferragamo for a trademark infringement. I don’t know the details. It was behind a paywall, but I got the gist of it from the headline that probably not the same family. Stephen Semple: Or from the branch of the family that everybody was like, “Those guys [inaudible 00:20:28].” Dave Young: Yeah. The black sheep. The ones that stayed in the US. Stephen Semple: Well, we sent them to Nebraska for a reason. They were supposed to just stay there. Dave Young: Well, I don’t know where he’s from. He’s probably recruited to Nebraska. Well, I appreciate the Ferragamo story. Great.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 30, 2026 is: bereft • bih-REFT • adjective To be bereft is to be deprived or robbed of something, or to lack something that you need, want, or expect. Bereft is also used as a synonym of bereaved. // They appear to be completely bereft of new ideas. See the entry > Examples: "... this morning when I was going out to play in the gardens, I went to put on my favorite baseball cap since the sun was hot and, being bereft of my own natural covering, I wished to avoid a sun-scorched scalp." — Dick Brooks, The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, New York), 7 May 2026 Did you know? In Old English, the verb berēafian meant "to deprive of something." The modern equivalent (and descendant) of berēafian is bereave, a verb used to say that one has deprived or stripped someone of something, often suddenly and unexpectedly, and sometimes by force. Bereft comes from the past participle of bereave; Shakespeare uses the participle in The Merchant of Venice, when Bassanio tells Portia, "Madam, you have bereft me of all words." But by Shakespeare's day bereft was also being used as an adjective. The Bard uses it in The Taming of the Shrew, as a newly obedient and docile Katharina declares, "A woman mov'd is like a fountain troubled—muddy, … thick, bereft of beauty."

Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Harvard were not casual or incidental; they were deep, expensive, and reputationally useful to him. Harvard's own 2020 review found that the university received $9.1 million from Epstein between 1998 and 2008, including a $6.5 million gift in 2003 that helped create the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, led by professor Martin Nowak. Harvard said it stopped accepting direct gifts from Epstein after his 2008 conviction, but the damage was already done: Epstein had used Harvard's prestige, faculty relationships, campus access, and scientific circles to launder his image as a serious intellectual patron instead of the predator he was.The scandal has not gone away because later reporting and congressional scrutiny raised questions about whether Harvard's earlier internal reviews were incomplete, especially regarding Epstein's post-conviction relationships with faculty, indirect funding, and connections to figures such as Larry Summers and George Church. In 2026, Rep. Jamie Raskin expanded an investigation into Harvard and Bard, seeking records on Epstein's funding of research and his personal relationships with faculty, while Harvard also faced renewed scrutiny after newly released Epstein files showed the breadth of his academic network. The broader picture is that Epstein did not just donate money to Harvard; he embedded himself in elite academic life, using proximity to famous scholars and institutions to rehabilitate his public standing and maintain access to powerful circles long after his criminal conduct was known

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jacob Ming-Trent!About Jacob Ming-Trent: Acclaimed performer, playwright, and one of American Theater's people to watch. A celebrated artist bringing his solo play, How Shakespeare Saved My Life, to Washington, DC's Folger Theater, and later to The Public Theater in New York with Red Bull producing.In our conversation, Ming-Trent walks through his journey from a rough childhood in an abusive home to moving to New York at seventeen—having been homeless the previous year and recently dropped out of high school. He recalls the pivotal moment Shakespeare entered his life: at six years old, his father, an English major, mentioned the Bard alongside Amiri Baraka. Years later, he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and was asked to read a Shakespeare speech. "It felt like home to me," he says. "The words were big enough to give context to my emotions that were inside."He digs into the origins of How Shakespeare Saved My Life, a play that poured out of him unexpectedly while working on a different project. The solo show follows a kid with a tough childhood who discovers Shakespeare and tries to use it to navigate his world—sometimes it works, sometimes it fails. "It's a raucous ride, it's outrageous, it's funny, it's sad, and in the end we experience some black joy," Ming-Trent shares. We discuss his decision to leave theater at 35 after feeling treated like "an affirmative action hire," his pivot to television in LA, and how a call from director Saheem Ali brought him back to the stage to lead Shakespeare in the Park in Merry Wives—which ultimately led to writing this play. He reflects on the influence of figures like Biggie, Tupac, James Baldwin, and Basquiat—all artists trying to save their lives through their work. He also talks about audience interaction, the differences between performing in Berkeley and DC, and why vulnerability and fear are necessary parts of telling personal stories.Be sure to follow Jacob Ming-Trent and catch How Shakespeare Saved My Life, running until July 5th at Folger Theater (201 East Capitol Street SE, Washington, DC). Tickets start at $20. The play is also published by Bloomsbury Publishing. After DC, the show heads to The Public Theater in New York. The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

Harvard University and Bard College are facing renewed congressional scrutiny over whether their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein helped him rebuild his reputation and maintain access to elite academic circles after his criminal conduct was known. Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding a fuller accounting from both schools, arguing that their previous internal investigations were incomplete or misleading. He is seeking records involving Epstein's donations, research funding, faculty relationships, admissions activity and institutional decision-making. At Harvard, the inquiry focuses partly on donations made after the university said it had stopped accepting Epstein's money, as well as his extensive contacts with former Harvard president Larry Summers and other academics. Epstein gave more than $9 million to Harvard and affiliated programs between 1998 and 2008.Bard is also being pressed to make outgoing president Leon Botstein available for a transcribed interview and to release the full findings of its investigation into his dealings with Epstein. Bard's independent review found no illegal conduct by Botstein, but concluded that he was not fully candid about the relationship, failed to recognize the risks Epstein posed to the college and its students, and did not disclose consulting fees received from an Epstein-controlled entity. Raskin cited evidence suggesting Epstein used his higher-education connections not only to rehabilitate himself socially but potentially to maintain and expand his exploitation of women. Harvard and Bard were asked to provide the requested information by July 1, as lawmakers seek to determine how prestigious institutions continued granting Epstein credibility, access and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Harvard and Bard face fresh questions from lawmakers over ties to Epstein | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian
