In this episode, we have a returning guest who last appeared on the show back in July 2023 (Ep 360). Scott Williamson, MD of Blackstone Minerals, a listed mining company who are developing a high-grade undeveloped copper-gold porphyry projects in the world and is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the untapped potential of the Mankayan Copper-Gold Project in the Philippines. Scott is a mining engineer by background, working in operations and corporate roles during his career and has exposure to corporate finance and capital markets, investor relations, and project management during his career. He has been at the helm of Blackstone for nearly 8 years now and gives us an update since he was last on, discusses the Mankayan project, talks about gold and copper porphyry, and what the Philippines is like as a mining jurisdiction, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current copper market is experiencing tight supply due to increasing demand driven by electrification and the transition to electric vehicles. This has resulted in high copper prices Blackstone Minerals plans to conduct extensive exploration, aiming to drill around 50,000 meters over the next 12 to 18 months. This includes systematic exploration techniques to identify new ore bodies Strong community relations have been established, with previous owners successfully engaging local stakeholders. Blackstone has inherited a solid foundation, including a 25-year mining license and agreements with indigenous communities The project offers multiple development pathways, including the potential for a smaller-scale operation focusing on high-grade ore, which could generate cash flow to support larger-scale mining in the future BEST MOMENTS "Copper is probably the tightest copper concentrate market the world has ever seen... Unfortunately, the supply is quite limited, and it takes a long time to bring copper mines online." "This particular ore body has already got 10 million ounces of gold and another 10 million ounces of gold equivalent in copper... It's already a world-class scale." "We want to drill around 50,000 meters... We want to do a lot of drilling, but we also want to do that systematic exploration." "The good thing is that we're not just inheriting a world-class ore body, we're inheriting all of that great work that the previous owners have done."

It's summertime, which means it's time for our annual grilling episode. In years past we've talked to the leaders of Big Green Egg, Traeger, and Blackstone, and it's always fascinating how those companies have all the same kinds of problems and ideas as any of the tech companies we have on the show.  This time, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with SharkNinja CEO Mark Barrocas. We've wanted to have SharkNinja on the show for years now, mostly because it has the best name of any company I think we've ever had on Decoder — it perfectly describes the structure of the company. And just in time for our grilling episode, the Ninja division of Mark's business just launched its first ever grill.  Check out the full transcript here on The Verge.

Sam Sells is a retired U.S. Air Force officer turned impact investor and entrepreneur who has led the acquisition and management of over $200 million in commercial real estate assets. As co-founder of Impact Growth Capital and host of the Disruptive Capitalists podcast, Sam specializes in building wealth by solving critical housing challenges—especially in America's most neglected communities. His approach combines military discipline, systems thinking, and a passion for making a difference at scale. On this episode we talk about: – How Sam made his first dollar as a kid selling whatever he could—and why his last name “Sells” fits his entrepreneurial journey – Lessons from a global military career, building sustainable healthcare systems, and learning to create repeatable, high-impact outcomes – The moment in Chad, Africa, that sparked his mission to pursue financial freedom and help others achieve it – Why real estate became Sam's vehicle for impact and wealth, starting with mobile home parks and scaling to national projects – The realities of flipping homes, the misleading nature of TV real estate shows, and the importance of understanding the real numbers – How Sam used creative strategies like master lease agreements to acquire and improve properties with limited capital – The risks and pitfalls of real estate investing—over-leverage, mismanagement, and the brutal lessons of recent market cycles – Why America is the country's largest “slumlord,” and how Sam is tackling public housing's massive problems through public-private partnerships – How Impact Growth Capital works with HUD and local housing authorities to renovate or rebuild thousands of government-owned units, using government funding and innovative systems to guarantee returns and create real social mobility – The unique, vertically integrated model that combines real estate development, nonprofit resident support, and measurable poverty reduction – The challenges and rewards of scaling a national impact business, and why entrepreneurship—not bureaucracy—is the key to solving America's toughest problems – How others can get involved as investors or partners in this mission Top 3 Takeaways 1. Impact and Profit Can Coexist: You can build wealth and make a real difference by solving urgent problems—like America's public housing crisis—at scale. 2. Creative Structures Unlock Opportunity: Master leases, public-private partnerships, and government-backed funding can open doors for investors willing to learn and innovate. 3. Entrepreneurship Drives Change: Lean, mission-driven entrepreneurs are better equipped than government alone to tackle complex social issues and deliver lasting results. Notable Quotes – “No matter how hard he works, he's never going to become free. What do I need to do to become free—and how can I help as many other people become free as possible?” – “The number one slumlord in America is America. Public housing authorities own nearly 900,000 units—seven times the size of Blackstone.” – “We can do good and do well at the same time. Our intent is to help millions get out of poverty and help our investors make a great return in the process.” Connect with Sam Sells: Email: sam@impactgrowthcap.com Website: impactgrowthcap.com Podcast: Disruptive Capitalists LinkedIn: Search “Sam Sells Impact Growth Capital”

Exploring Corporate Culture and M&A with Matthew Person Townsquare-advisors.com About the Guest(s): Matthew Person is the founder and managing director of Town Square Advisors, a firm dedicated to serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. He is a certified M&A advisor with extensive experience in buy-side mergers and acquisitions, having led private equity-backed global corporate development departments for firms like IDG, Blackstone, Vista, and TA Associates. Additionally, Matthew has experience as a Vice President at Capstone Partners and has worked with startups and growth-stage companies, exemplified by his tenure at Breakaway Innovation and Hybrid VC. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into the multifaceted world of corporate culture and organizational alignment with his guest, Matthew Person. Matthew, an expert in mergers and acquisitions, introduces his innovative Square Management System, a comprehensive framework designed to help businesses understand and intentionally cultivate corporate culture to achieve optimal staff alignment and business success. Matthew discusses the often overlooked but critical role of culture in the business environment, especially during mergers and acquisitions. Using his Square Management System, he highlights the importance of understanding corporate culture and the individual work preferences of employees to create a harmonious and productive workplace. This episode emphasizes that successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more so than financial metrics and that understanding the preferences for independence or constraint can lead to better job satisfaction and performance. Chris and Matthew explore how culture isn't just about perks like ping-pong tables but is deeply tied to identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback within a company. Key Takeaways: The Square Management System emphasizes four elements—identity, instruction, intercommunication, and information feedback—as crucial for understanding and shaping corporate culture. Employers and employees benefit significantly from cultural alignment, impacting individual job satisfaction and overall business success. Cultural fit in mergers and acquisitions can often predict the success or failure of such ventures, as seen in both infamous and successful M&A cases. Matthew's approach underscores that there is no universally right or wrong culture; it's about finding the fit that aligns the company's processes with employees' natural work styles. Taking self-assessment quizzes can help both employees and executives understand their ideal work environments, ensuring better placement and higher retention. Notable Quotes: "Culture isn't just the ping-pong tables or Thursday beers; it's about identity, instruction, intercommunication, and feedback." "There's no wrong culture, just your culture, and it's crucial for executives to understand what aligns best with their organizational goals." "Successful mergers often hinge on cultural fit more than any financial metric; it's about bringing together compatible systems and people." "Great culture is alignment between the employee and the company. We've often focused too much on broad appeal instead of individual fit." "Our goal is to let people make decisions and own them within a framework that respects their independence and contributes to a high-performing team."

In this episode of The Distribution, host Brandon Sedloff sits down with Brendan Wallace, CEO & CIO of Fifth Wall, to explore the firm's founding thesis, its investment philosophy, and the evolving intersection of real estate and technology. Brendan shares his unique career path—from real estate private equity at Blackstone to launching a successful tech startup sold to Workday—offering rare insight into how his dual experience in tech and real estate shaped the creation of Fifth Wall. He outlines how the firm's strategic LP model allows them to drive technology adoption within the real estate sector, and discusses the broader opportunity that comes from modernizing a traditionally analog industry. The conversation also touches on the firm's investing strategy, views on AI and data, and why Brendan believes the next wave of leading real estate platforms will be launched in the coming years. They discuss: * Why Fifth Wall's LP base of real estate incumbents gives it a strategic advantage in venture investing * How Brendan's early tech exit and institutional finance background informed his venture model * The challenges of real estate's slow tech adoption, and which firms are actually driving change * Brendan's view on the overhyped promise of proprietary data in the AI era * Why now may be the best time in a generation to launch a new real estate investment platform A valuable conversation for anyone exploring the future of real estate, venture capital, or building at the intersection of both.

In this episode of The Deal, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Kelly talk with David Blitzer, Blackstone’s chairman and the co-founder of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, about how his teams use data and analytics to improve fan experience. In this conversation, which was taped in front of an audience at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Blitzer tells the hosts how a “failed athlete” came to be the first person to own teams in all five major American sports leagues, what he’s doing to invest in the “massively fragmented” world of youth sports and why having a favorite sports team is like having a favorite child.

The country of “in God we trust” will be the hand of God to protect the physical and false Israel from hellfire that they invoked by the poking and prodding of heaven. Leaked documents from Israel depict a list of countries they are willing to bomb as part of the Samson option, including Los Angeles, Washington DC, and New York, and so it must not be coincidence that Prime Minster Netanyahu just went on television again and threatened that it is Tel Aviv today and “tomorrow it's New York.” Remember the 11 of September. The antichrist won't appear in reddish clothing with horns calling for destruction, he will appear as the bringer of peace. Just as Mariam Adelson called Trump the “savior of the Jewish people,” it appears he will be both the deceiver and the bringer of peace on the world stage. They will create peace from the chaos and once again break it as part of the art of tribulation. The end times will not be easy to decipher; who is good and who is bad. The missiles striking Israel are hitting directly opposite sides of the geographical site of armageddon. The world is a stage and the actors wage real war via deception. The world is a stage and the actors wage real war via deception. Israel targets and kills the top Iranian negotiator of peace, Ali Shamkhani, and then says Iran is terrified, while certain their officials reportedly flee, quietly blackens the media in their country, and reportedly secretly asks Russia to deescalate. As for the recent IAEA report on Iran, it cannot be used as justification for the attack because said attack was planned 8 months ago. OpenAI just won a $200 million defense contract in the footsteps of Palantir obtaining a $1.3 billion contract the same from the Pentagon. Trump has absolutely supported these companies and their plan for mass surveillance and murder. And who gets the rebuilding contracts? Blackrock and Blackstone. Consider this: the first assassination attempt was July, 2024, and the second was September, 2024, while in August the head of Palantir said the US will fight a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran. Within that same time frame, Israel had begun planning the attack on Iran. It appears that Trump has been compromised via these events and has chose to sell out America in favor of the synagogue of Satan - perhaps because they have threatened to nuke the USA as the last resort to get support - while threatening countries that want peace, threatening countries that want to try war criminals, and refusing to agree to any kind of peace plan - meanwhile, Trump repeats talking points from the Iraq war. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On June 14, thousands gathered in Fresno and cities nationwide for “No Kings Day,” a protest movement opposing what demonstrators call authoritarianism under President Donald Trump’s second term. Coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday and a military parade in Washington, D.C., the protests drew over 2,000 people in Fresno alone, rallying at key intersections like Blackstone and Nees. Protesters voiced concerns over immigration raids, budget cuts, and threats to democratic norms.

Positive Market Performance and Key Economic Indicators - June 12th Edition In this edition of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel discusses the positive performance across major indices with the Dow up 101 points, the S&P rising 0.38%, and the Nasdaq up a quarter percent. Treasury yields showed weakness, and a lower-than-expected PPI number contributed to falling interest rates and a slightly weaker dollar. Initial jobless claims showed a slight increase for the fourth consecutive week, signaling a softening labor market, similar to levels seen in the summer of 2023. Brian also touches on the US-China trade talks, the significance of rare earth minerals and technology exports, and the current state of private real estate investment trusts, like Starwood and Blackstone. He concludes by urging viewers to send in questions and announces upcoming content for the week. 00:00 Introduction and Market Overview 00:22 Treasury Yields and Dollar Movement 00:34 Producer Price Index and Inflation 01:14 Jobless Claims and Labor Market Insights 01:56 US-China Trade Talks 03:22 Real Estate Market Analysis 04:28 Conclusion and Upcoming Updates Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

In this second discussion with Andreas Mang and Jon Camire of Blackstone, Stacey Richter has  an advanced discussion on the intricacies of stop-loss reinsurance for high-cost claimants.  This show today, for sure, it's for plan sponsors and anyone on or about plan sponsors; but also listen if you are serving high-cost claimants some other way. Because what you'll learn here today is some insights relative to how plan sponsors go about making sure that they can pay you—like if you work for, for example, some clinical organization. There's a, I don't know, 101 starting point of this conversation if you need it on stop-loss, which is episode 478 from a couple of weeks ago. This show is the, let's say, 201-level conversation that I'm having with Andreas Mang and Jon Camire about, as I said, stop-loss insurance and stop-loss insurance considerations. Emphasizing the importance of eligibility audits and aggregating buying power, the guests highlight best practices to avoid overpaying for coverage and ensuring comprehensive risk management. This episode is sponsored by Havarti Risk, which I am so thankful for. The show, Relentless Health Value, actually does cost an unexpectedly large sum of money to create and produce; so I always appreciate when somebody offers to sponsor a show or help sponsor a show. === LINKS ===

This week on the show, I'm joined in person by investment veteran Michael Sheldon, who brings over 26 years of experience in the financial services industry. We dig into essential strategies for investing as you approach and enter retirement, covering asset allocation, diversification, income planning, and how to handle inevitable market volatility.  Whether you're a pre-retiree, a recent retiree, or just looking to strengthen your investment approach, Michael offers some great actionable insights designed to help you build a resilient portfolio and stay on track toward your long-term financial goals.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [04:52]  Portfolio risk should change as you age, becoming more conservative in retirement. [09:34] Why US large-cap stocks have outperformed recently. [14:13] Pros and cons of target date funds, including fees, asset allocation, and international exposure. [16:07] Michael warns against chasing high-yield dividend stocks. [18:51] Private equity/real estate and understanding the liquidity and risks. [31:15] Building income streams, reducing volatility, and portfolio standard deviation as you near retirement. [43:18] Why maintaining discipline through corrections is key to investment success. Strategies to Weather Market Ups and Downs Any successful investment journey begins with a clear financial plan. Michael emphasizes the importance of understanding your spending needs in retirement. This process often starts with creating a detailed budget. A thorough assessment of current and expected future expenses helps determine the appropriate rate of return necessary to achieve your retirement goals. Once you have a handle on your budget, you can set a target allocation that aligns your risk tolerance with your required investment returns. Your personal plan should factor in not only your goals and time horizon, but also your comfort level with market volatility. Balancing Risk and Opportunity As you move closer to retirement, adjusting your asset allocation becomes increasingly important. Younger investors can often afford to be more aggressive, allocating a larger portion (often 70% - 100%) to equities, since they have time to recover from market downturns. However, those approaching or in retirement generally benefit from more conservative portfolios, emphasizing capital preservation. A common rule of thumb discussed was to maintain 3 - 5 years of living expenses in cash or short-term bonds. This buffer allows retirees to weather market downturns without selling equities at a loss. Still, every investor is different. Some retirees, especially those with higher risk tolerance or substantial resources, may maintain large allocations to equities. The key is to structure your portfolio to ensure you can meet your expenses even during extended market declines. Don't Chase Home Runs The conversation stressed the dangers of seeking the next “big winner” stock. Instead, the focus should be on diversification, owning a broad mix of asset classes and geographies. While the past decade has seen U.S. large-cap growth stocks outperform other areas, this may not always be the case. International markets, small-cap stocks, and value stocks each tend to outperform at different points in the economic cycle. Proper diversification can help reduce risk and smooth out returns, preventing the common mistake of buying high and selling low. It's wise to avoid concentrating your portfolio too heavily in a single sector, country, or investment style. Beyond Chasing High Dividends One of the big myths in retirement investing is the need to load up on high-dividend-paying stocks for income. Michael cautioned against focusing solely on high yields, as these companies might carry more risk or have unsustainable business models. Instead, look for companies with a solid history of gradually increasing their dividends, which indicates healthy cash flows and business stability. Active vs. Passive Management and Cost Considerations The debate between active and passive management continues. For broad U.S. markets, low-cost index funds and ETFs have outperformed most active managers over time, thanks to lower costs and automatic portfolio updates.  Increasingly, investors are turning to ETFs for their tax efficiency, tradability, and lower fees compared to traditional mutual funds. As with any investment, understanding fees and their impact on long-term returns is vital. The Power of Discipline Finally, Michael shares a valuable perspective on market volatility. Historically, the S&P 500 has experienced average intra-year declines of over 14%, yet finished positive in 76% of years since 1980. Volatility is normal, and patient investors are rewarded for staying invested.

Eric Claeys’ new publication, Natural Property Rights, presents a novel theory of property based on individual, pre-political rights. The book argues that a just system of property protects people's rights to use resources and also orders those rights consistent with natural law and the public welfare. Drawing on influential property theorists such as Grotius, Locke, Blackstone, and early American statesmen and judges, as well as recent work in normative and analytical philosophy, the book shows how natural rights guide political and legal reasoning about property law. It examines how natural rights justify the most familiar institutions in property, including public property, ownership, the system of estates and future interests, leases, servitudes, mortgages, police regulation, and eminent domain. Thought-provoking and comprehensive, the book challenges leading contemporary justifications for property and shows how property both secures individual freedom and serves the common good.Join this Talks with Authors program to discuss all this and more!Featuring:Prof. Eric Claeys, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityJ.

World leaders from Ukraine to Germany, the UK, France, and the U.S., are being caught with drugs of one sort or another. From cocaine to the recent report that Elon Musk, though he denies it, was nearly overdosing on ketamine, adderall, ecstasy and psychedelics during the campaign trail and after. The same has been reported of the WEF at Davos, people obsessed with magic mushrooms and hookers. Beyond the obvious motif of wealthy people splurging on carnal delights, there may be something darker at work, especially when considering that for years there has been speculation that the UN's own Meditation Room was actually a space for channeling sessions with spirits. The lore of Vril, dating to before WWII, involves a psychic energy used by an alien race - in occult lore the Vril were a society contacting aliens and spirits to obtain assistance in technological development. The term was originally coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his 1871 novel ‘The Coming Race'. The techno-term “algorithm,” based on Persian mathematics, is itself connected to the Demon Star ALGOL, also known as a Demon's Eye. This “eye” plays a significant role in both fiction and modern technology.  Since 2025 began we have seen the full scale implementation of STARGATE, a program to develop gene-altering cancer shots (preceding the HHS-NIH announcement of universal flu and covid shots), and now recent contracts signed by PALANTIR by the Trump administration to create an all-knowing database of information on more than just American citizens. Itself followed up by a $795-million contract between the DOD and Palantir. STARGATE involves, of peculiar interest, OpenAI (to open an eye), Oracle (a prophet who can see beyond time), and Nvidia (the evil eye). The first company is run by Sam Altman, whose name means in Hebrew “name of the old God,” and Samael (the Talmudic archangel of seduction, accusation, and destruction) ‘altering-man'; whose recent announcement involves a device called ORB that verifies humans via iris scans and then gives them a WORLD ID / DIGITAL PASSPORT, WORLDCOIN GLOBAL CURRENCY, and UBI or Universal Basic Income; the scan verifies human-carbon, i.e., 666.  The second company is run by Larry Ellison, whose name means in Hebrew “light of my God Yahweh,” or “victory of the son of Elohim.” The third company is named after the seven deadly sins and the poison of the evil eye. PALANTIR was officially established by a guy “obsessed with warding of death... with a young person's blood,” Peter Thiel, whose name means “stone of the valley/below/abyss.” Alongside these technocrats are Yuval Harari, whose name means in Hebrew “streaming from the mountain,” and Elon Musk, whose X-AI, GROK, is named after a fictional martian language that means to “understand deeply,” from Robert Heinlein's ‘Stranger in a Strange Land'; its logo is the planet Saturn, god of time. Elon is also the name of a technologically advanced alien leader on the martian planet in the book ‘Mars: A Technical Tale', written by NASA father Wernher Von Braun. PALANTIR itself is named after palantír from Lord of the Rings (Saturn), a seeing-stone-crystal sphere used for communication and intelligence gathering. It is also where the Eye of Sauron was able to keep his eye on Middle Earth. Thiel is also co-founder of Rivendell 7 and Mithril Capital, both named after LOTR, the latter of which is a mythical elvish city. This is the same Thiel who fueled the rise of JD Vance into the White House, the now VP to POTUS Trump who just signed a deal with PALANTIR and who is assisting in pushing Musk's electric cars. Altman, Ellison, Harari, even Elon Musk “aspirationally,” are Jewish, with questions about Thiel's actual background speculated upon. The same is true for Larry Fink of BLACKROCK, Stephen Schwarzman of BLACKSTONE, Dan Zorella and Avi Yanus of BLACK CUBE, and even the general BLACKBOX AI that nobody seems able to comprehend even if they helped build it - Ellison says it is mostly coming from Israel and Tel Aviv. This is the same black cube that Jews wear and Muslims walk around, with black stone, in their holy city. PALANTIR'S history is peculiar too, not just its name. Peter Thiel started the company officially soon after 911 by using PayPal security algorithms. It was founded in May 2003, the same month and year that the US Information Awareness Office and DARPA renamed their Total Information Awareness program to Terrorism Information Awareness, and a few months before in September Congress pulled funding. The blueprint for this post-911 world, PNAC, was written by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, and the Patriot Act was co-authored by Michael Chertoff, former homeland security head, who helped sell body scanners to airports. All three of these men are jewish. As for PALANTIR, besides Thiel, Alex Karp and Stephen Cohen are major jewish founders alongside Joe Lonsdale and Nathan Gettings, the former of which had one of the least official roles. According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center writing about TIA: “Congress eliminated funding for the controversial project and closed the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office, which had developed TIA. This does not, however, necessarily signal the end of other government data-mining initiatives that are similar to TIA.”What was a DARPA-CIA-NSA-USIAO plan to “track individuals through collecting as much information about them as possible and using computer algorithms and human analysis to detect potential activity,” suddenly became PALANTIR unofficially, even though both the NSA and PALANTIR both ran a PRISM program - a program we learned about from Edward Snowden in June 2013, just 3 months before Katy Perry released her first “dark” album called PRISM. The goal of PRISM was to retrieve data directly from Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. And what is a prism but a three-dimensional solid shape; a polyhedron like a cube; a glass device that breaks down white light.Beyond data acquisition, the goal was techno-super-natural: “understand and even preempt' future action,” wrote the New York Times. The NYT reported that conveniently PALANTIR “secured an estimated $2 million from In-Q-Tel, a venture-capital firm that finances the development of technologies that can help the C.I.A.” That's the same In-Q-Tel where, at one of their conferences, David Petraeus, former CIA director, said that the Internet of PCs and Things “are learning to perceive - to actually sense and respond.” Soon after we saw the emergence of Q-Anon, a Self Organizing Collective Intelligence, which today with AI-models trained on human data, are convincing people they are unlocking the secrets and conspiracies of the universe and becoming prophets. As per a recent Rolling Stone article, “Self-styled prophets are claiming they have 'awakened' chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe through ChatGPT.”FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKYOUTUBEMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable Paypal email rdgable1991@gmail.comEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Ret. MN Justice Barry Anderson speak with Wilfrid Prest, Emeritus Professor and Visiting Research Fellow in History and Law at the University of Adelaide in Australia, and biographer of Sir William Blackstone, among the most influential figures in the history of English common law. Prof. Prest discusses Blackstone's formative years in mid-18th-century London and at Pembroke College, Oxford, where a classical education, Enlightenment thought, and legal scholarship shaped his intellectual path. He describes Blackstone's early legal and academic career, including his role as the first Vinerian Professor of English Law and author of An Analysis of the Laws of England. Prest explores how Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England brought clarity and coherence to England's centuries old legal tradition, drawing from foundational documents like Magna Carta and formative figures such as Bracton, Fortescue, and Coke. He examines the Commentaries' lasting impact on American Founding Fathers, including both admirers like Alexander Hamilton and Chief Justice John Marshall and critics like Thomas Jefferson. Prest concludes with reflections on Blackstone's enduring legacy in promoting the rule of law and legal education worldwide. In closing, Prof. Prest reads a passage from his book, William Blackstone: Law and Letters in the Eighteenth Century.
