Writer Christopher Mason says that Ghislaine Maxwell commissioned him to write a birthday song for Jeffrey Epstein that included very lurid and sexualized references—specifically lyrics about “24-hour erections” and “schoolgirl crushes” when Epstein had taught at Dalton School. According to Mason, Maxwell gave him highly explicit instructions about what to include in the lyrics, but prevented him from contacting anyone else who might have known Epstein for background. Mason claims the song was performed at a dinner with wealthy men in attendance, and that the mood was celebratory, even mocking. The song apparently referenced Epstein's sexual behavior in front of guests like Leslie Wexner and others in his social circle.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12235042/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-24-hour-erections/

SUBSCRIBE TO ACCESS "MUZAK CHAIRS II" IN ITS MIND-BOGGLING ENTIRETY!SPOILER WARNINGS FOR SEASON I OF THE CHAIR COMPANY:File this one under:Fisher Roby head honcho Jeff Levjman and music A&R scammer Stacy Crystals being clear substitutes for Jeff Epstein & Leslie Wexner, down to nominative symmetries. Jeff Levjman having an Ashkenazic Yiddish name; Stacy Crystals (immensely valuable jewels) = Leslie Wexner (Wexner derived from "weksler", which means "moneychanger" or "banker"). Under the Silver Lake similarities in Stacy Crystals' schemes. "Just to see Mickey. We had a special pass to cut the kids" -> evoking Aquino's Tinkerbell pics, Maxwell w/ Donald Duck doing kids charity work in the UK, Epstein and Piglet, etc... An unexplained "Mighty Mouse" codeword or nickname in a sus email Epstein sent between two of his Gmail accounts. The Chair Co. sequence where Ron ends up at Asher's house in back-to-back scenes (one dream, one corporeal) after falling unconscious while chasing after Baby, who he learns is actually named Minnie Mouse and belongs to this discomfiting dude Asher, only to later discover that Ron has inadvertently returned the dog to its abusive owner... A scene with a jumpscare inside Asher's shed with a "brand new shape" glowing in some light array on the ground that evokes Wexner and his Dybbuk, "the churning", shpilkes, etc. Jeff Levjman's stag night in Sedona with Danny Donovan et al clearly seeming like a riff on Epstein's ties to Santa Fe and Zorro Dude Ranch. Stacy Crystals' bilking of the bourgeoisie built upon the unfulfilling alienation of capitalism which also smacks of the fantasies that Epstein curated for his associates...Dalton School impropriety allegations, pimp coats, Donald Barr. Noam Chomsky rec letters. Epstein talking up how his rep has increased since #MeToo, self-styling as a cancellation consultant over email with Joi Ito. Lawrence Krauss. Ron's theory that Tecca is smuggling poppy stalks and thebaine into the country in voids where the chair appendices are supposed to go evoking a whole host of Iran-Contra connections involving Wexner, Epstein, Delaware, and Ohio. Summit Aviation, Ohioan Cessna dealers, DuPonts, a crash in Nicaragua. Steve Hoffenberg. Epstein's ties to Adnan Khashoggi, Douglas Leese, and Stan Pottinger. The Arthur Shapiro Contract Hit in Columbus. Southern Air Transport - a CIA proprietary airline that was once co-owned by the same shell company that owned Airs America & Asia and which was heavily involved in Iran-Contra drugs-for-guns smuggling. Epstein and Wexner's role in its relocation to Rickenbacker in Columbus. All of this evoking the possible Hungarian connection and Tecca's thebaine. Oliver North. Felix Rodriguez. Donald Gregg. Bush. Another Cessna shot down by Sandinistas, this time Southern Air's (which would relocate to Ohio and handle The Limited's cargo in a few years). The Arthur Shapiro Murder File and Wexner, DeBartolo, Shapiro's law firm partners, city council president Jerry Hammond, the Major Chord Jazz Club, Jack Kessler, Frank Walsh, DeBartolo, and the Genovese-LaRocca Pittsburgh Crime Fam appearing all over it. MAST Industries, Marty Trust, and Sri Lankan textile slave labor. Gov. Voinovich. Local journo Bob Fitrakis's various exposes. Actual sexual blackmail appearing in Chair Co. Episode 5, the insane True Detective esque oner at Oliver Probblo's apartment, where Ron is forced to kiss a woman on camera after walking in on an affair. The bugs. PROMIS. Palantir. Carbyne/Reporty. Actual Ohioan pharma companies that may be inspirations for Brucell. The Delaware City officer that chases Ron down during the '50s Cop Hop at City Hall possibly alluding to Wexner's influence and off-duty employment of a racist-af policeman from Gahanna, Franklin Co. Sheriff Deputies, and an ex SpecOps guy. Major comparisons between the ecological greenwashing of Fisher Robay and Wexner/Kessler's New Albany Company. New Urbanism. And much much more.FULL NOTES ON PATREON

Jeffrey Epstein's life makes little sense when viewed through the lens of a rogue financier or even a Mossad agent, but it becomes coherent when understood as the creation of the CIA. From his early placement at the Dalton School by Donald Barr, to his sudden leap into finance at Bear Stearns, to his inexplicable relationship with Leslie Wexner, Epstein's career looks less like chance and more like cultivation. His fortune was smoke and mirrors, likely bolstered by covert funding, and his so-called philanthropy in genetics and AI neatly overlapped with U.S. intelligence interests. His homes wired with cameras, his blackmail operations ensnaring politicians, scientists, and billionaires, and his sweetheart deal in Florida that shielded not just him but his co-conspirators—all of it suggests he was protected because he was too valuable to the intelligence state to lose.While Mossad connections through Ghislaine Maxwell cannot be denied, foreign services couldn't have orchestrated the decades-long media suppression, the unprecedented non-prosecution agreement, or the circumstances of Epstein's death in federal custody. Only U.S. intelligence had the power to build and protect him, then silence him when he became a liability. Epstein was not simply a predator; he was a CIA instrument of blackmail and control, designed to compromise America's own elites and keep them in line. His death was not the end of a scandal—it was the final act of a cleanup operation, ensuring that the files, tapes, and evidence he gathered would never see daylight, and leaving the public with a scapegoat narrative while the machinery of secrecy rolled on.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

pWotD Episode 3117: Jeffrey Epstein Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 183,957 views on Thursday, 13 November 2025 our article of the day is Jeffrey Epstein.Jeffrey Edward Epstein (January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and child sex offender. Born and raised in New York City, Epstein began his professional career as a teacher at the Dalton School. After his dismissal from the school in 1976, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in various roles before starting his own firm. Epstein cultivated an elite social circle and procured many women and children whom he and his associates sexually abused.In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused. Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal agreed by the US Department of Justice's Alex Acosta, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging. Epstein's lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories. In July 2025, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released CCTV footage to support the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell. When the Department of Justice released the footage, approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds of it was missing, and the video was found to have been modified despite the FBI's claim that it was raw.Since Epstein's death precluded the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on August 29, 2019. Epstein had a decades-long association with the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited young girls for him, leading to her 2021 conviction on US federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution.According to The New York Times, Epstein made much of his fortune by providing tax and estate services to billionaires. He was also a renowned social networker, whose vast network included business people, royalty, politicians and academics. His friendships with public figures including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have attracted significant controversy. Documents released by the House Democratic Caucus in September 2025 show that he maintained connections with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Steve Bannon.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:22 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jeffrey Epstein on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

When Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020, then–Attorney General William Barr publicly praised federal agents for bringing her into custody and assured the public that the Department of Justice would pursue Epstein's network “wherever the evidence led.” In interviews with ABC News and others, Barr said he was “very happy we were able to get Miss Maxwell,” adding that the government was still seeking cooperation from figures such as Prince Andrew. He also personally ordered the Bureau of Prisons to install “redundant monitoring systems” around Maxwell's detention, stating he wanted to ensure there would be no repeat of what happened with Jeffrey Epstein. This came just months after Barr had described Epstein's death as “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” promising the Justice Department would “continue to pursue anyone who was complicit.”Barr's remarks, made during the Trump administration, were meant to project accountability but drew mixed reactions. Some legal observers noted that Barr—whose father once hired Epstein at the Dalton School decades earlier—was attempting to rehabilitate the DOJ's image after widespread outrage over Epstein's 2019 death in federal custody. Nonetheless, Barr repeatedly emphasized that Maxwell's prosecution was part of a “vigorously continuing” investigation, assuring the public that “no one is above the law.” His statements framed Maxwell as the living proof of the DOJ's commitment to finishing what Epstein's death had interrupted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a text 45 minutes of Ep 258 - 2 hour special, I'm diving deep into the real life monsters in this Halloween Episode. I start with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and deliver some serious gossip that I promised you about the latest drama on Season 6 Ep 6 unfolding with the cast. I break down the current storylines and give you my insider take on what's really happening behind the scenes in Salt Lake with Bronwyn's felonies, Lisa Barlow take down and Mary Cosby's demons, but then I shift gears into something much darker. I've just finished reading Virginia Giuffre's new book, Nobody's Girl and I'm breaking down the most shocking revelations about her experiences with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I walk you through how Ghislaine first approached Virginia when she was just sixteen years old working at the Mar-a-Lago spa, how she was groomed and manipulated into Epstein's world, and the disturbing details about his properties from El Brillo Way mansion to Zorro Ranch to his infamous island Little St. James. I also expose what's happening now with Sarah Kellen, one of Epstein's alleged accomplices who's living in luxury at the Continuum in Miami while victims demand justice. I reveal details about Epstein's background from Virginia's perspective, his time teaching at the Dalton School sleeping with girls for grades, his connections to Bear Stearns, and his calculated methods of control. There are shocking revelations about Prince Andrew, Donald Trump, George Clooney and the web of powerful people in Epstein's orbit that you won't want to miss. We learn about all Virginia's abuse from a child to when she meets Epstein. This is only the first part of the book, so we're just getting started with Virginia's full testimony. Full episode here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkey

​In the days leading up to his death, Jeffrey Epstein exhibited a complex and seemingly contradictory state of mind. Despite facing serious charges and the prospect of a prolonged prison sentence, Epstein reportedly denied having suicidal thoughts and appeared confident about his situation. He described his life as "wonderful" and expressed no intention of self-harm, even while under suicide watch.   So, how did he end up dead?Following Jeffrey Epstein's highly suspicious death in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr became the subject of intense scrutiny, with many alleging he played a role in a cover-up to protect powerful individuals linked to Epstein. As the head of the Justice Department, Barr oversaw the Bureau of Prisons, which was responsible for Epstein's detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Critics questioned how such a high-profile inmate, who had reportedly been on suicide watch just days prior, was able to die under such dubious circumstances, including the alleged malfunctioning of security cameras and the guards' failure to conduct routine checks. The rapid declaration of suicide as the official cause of death, despite forensic inconsistencies such as Epstein's hyoid bone fracture—a common indicator of strangulation—led to widespread skepticism. Given Barr's history, including his father's connection to Epstein through hiring him at the Dalton School, and his prior role in minimizing scrutiny over elite figures, suspicions grew that his Justice Department deliberately mishandled the investigation to suppress damaging revelations.In response to these allegations, Barr publicly condemned the failures at MCC, calling them a “perfect storm of screw-ups” rather than an orchestrated cover-up. He ordered internal investigations by the FBI and the Justice Department's Inspector General, which ultimately upheld the suicide ruling. However, many found Barr's explanation unconvincing, particularly given his previous role in facilitating leniency for powerful figures in legal matters. His insistence that Epstein's death was a result of incompetence rather than conspiracy did little to quell speculation, especially as key evidence, such as security footage, was either missing or unusable. Some critics pointed to the swift dismissal of the guards involved as a means to close the case without deeper scrutiny. Barr's handling of the case remains a subject of controversy, with many believing that his role was not just oversight but active damage control to protect Epstein's powerful associates from exposure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly commissioned a British songwriter, Christopher Mason, to craft a bespoke birthday song for Jeffrey Epstein's 40th birthday around January 1993. Maxwell is said to have dictated highly specific lyrics that praised Epstein for having “24‑hour erections” and referenced “schoolgirl crushes” he allegedly received while teaching at the Dalton School. The tone was deliberately crude and salacious, intended as a personalized roast-style tribute delivered at an intimate dinner attended by wealthy and powerful men, including Epstein and Leslie Wexner.Accounts detail how Maxwell strictly controlled the creative process—limiting Mason to working exclusively with her and forbidding contact with others to gather background. In what Christopher Mason described as a surreal performance, he entered a drawing room mid-party dressed in Epstein's karate uniform and sang the bawdy, insult‑laden number a cappella. The song reportedly elicited laughter and applause from the elite audience. Mason later reflected that Maxwell's detailed direction was chilling in its prescience—highlighting behaviors and allegations that would become central to the Epstein scandal decades later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12235042/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-24-hour-erections/

In 2024, Donald Trump said he'd declassify and release the files the U.S. government has on notorious child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But recently, responding to disappointment and growing demands from his base to actually release the full files, he told a crowd of reporters in Pennsylvania that “I don't understand why the Epstein files would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going.”Even among the MAGA faithful, few minds have been changed and calls to release information continue to grow.Investigation into Epstein's life and sudden death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City often raises more questions than it answers. How did he go from teaching at the elite Dalton School to being a billionaire financier? Even his connections to Bear Stearns and former Limited Brands chairman Leslie Wexner don't fully explain it, his friendships with royalty and the elite around the world, or the Austrian passport with a fake name and a Saudi Arabian address found in his home.When he pleaded guilty to soliciting underage prostitutes, Epstein got a 13 month sentence - and was allowed to leave the jail for 12 hours every day so that he could continue working his home office. And in 2007, he entered into an agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida that he would not be prosecuted as part of another investigation. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta, later said that he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to “leave it alone.” Support the show

While Jeffrey Epstein is in the controversial zeitgeist of modern scandal, everyone has a back story. Bruce Feniger shares some experiences from having the late controversial Epstein as his high school science teacher at the Dalton School, prior to Epstein's going into his notorious private business. In a celebrity circles coincidence, the Dalton School administrator at the time was one Donald Barr, father of former US Attorney General Bill Bar.

pWotD Episode 2957: Jeffrey Epstein Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 275,461 views on Friday, 6 June 2025 our article of the day is Jeffrey Epstein.Jeffrey Edward Epstein ( EP-steen; January 20, 1953 – August 10, 2019) was an American financier and child sex offender. Born and raised in New York City, Epstein began his professional career as a teacher at the Dalton School, despite lacking a college degree. After his dismissal from the school in 1976, he entered the banking and finance sector, working at Bear Stearns in various roles before starting his own firm. Epstein cultivated an elite social circle and procured many women and children whom he and his associates sexually abused.In 2005, police in Palm Beach, Florida, began investigating Epstein after a parent reported that he had sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter. Federal officials identified 36 girls, some as young as 14 years old, whom Epstein had allegedly sexually abused. Epstein pleaded guilty and was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. He was convicted of only these two crimes as part of a controversial plea deal, and served almost 13 months in custody but with extensive work release.Epstein was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died in his jail cell on August 10, 2019. The medical examiner ruled that his death was a suicide by hanging. Epstein's lawyers have disputed the ruling, and there has been significant public skepticism about the true cause of his death, resulting in numerous conspiracy theories. However recently the Federal Bureau of Investigation stated in 2025 that it would soon release video evidence supporting the conclusion that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell. Since Epstein's death precluded the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against him, a judge dismissed all criminal charges on August 29, 2019. Epstein had a decades-long association with the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who recruited young girls for him, leading to her 2021 conviction on U. S. federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy for helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, for child sexual abuse and prostitution.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:02 UTC on Saturday, 7 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jeffrey Epstein on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

​In the days leading up to his death, Jeffrey Epstein exhibited a complex and seemingly contradictory state of mind. Despite facing serious charges and the prospect of a prolonged prison sentence, Epstein reportedly denied having suicidal thoughts and appeared confident about his situation. He described his life as "wonderful" and expressed no intention of self-harm, even while under suicide watch.   So, how did he end up dead?Following Jeffrey Epstein's highly suspicious death in August 2019, Attorney General William Barr became the subject of intense scrutiny, with many alleging he played a role in a cover-up to protect powerful individuals linked to Epstein. As the head of the Justice Department, Barr oversaw the Bureau of Prisons, which was responsible for Epstein's detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Critics questioned how such a high-profile inmate, who had reportedly been on suicide watch just days prior, was able to die under such dubious circumstances, including the alleged malfunctioning of security cameras and the guards' failure to conduct routine checks. The rapid declaration of suicide as the official cause of death, despite forensic inconsistencies such as Epstein's hyoid bone fracture—a common indicator of strangulation—led to widespread skepticism. Given Barr's history, including his father's connection to Epstein through hiring him at the Dalton School, and his prior role in minimizing scrutiny over elite figures, suspicions grew that his Justice Department deliberately mishandled the investigation to suppress damaging revelations.In response to these allegations, Barr publicly condemned the failures at MCC, calling them a “perfect storm of screw-ups” rather than an orchestrated cover-up. He ordered internal investigations by the FBI and the Justice Department's Inspector General, which ultimately upheld the suicide ruling. However, many found Barr's explanation unconvincing, particularly given his previous role in facilitating leniency for powerful figures in legal matters. His insistence that Epstein's death was a result of incompetence rather than conspiracy did little to quell speculation, especially as key evidence, such as security footage, was either missing or unusable. Some critics pointed to the swift dismissal of the guards involved as a means to close the case without deeper scrutiny. Barr's handling of the case remains a subject of controversy, with many believing that his role was not just oversight but active damage control to protect Epstein's powerful associates from exposure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It's the spookiest time of the year; Halloween is right around the corner. But unlike the winter holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, Halloween seems to lack a defining canon of scary music. There's, of course, “Monster Mash,” and “Ghostbusters,” but those songs aren't actually bone-chilling. Is there a way to make music scary? In a live show from The Dalton School in New York City, Nate and Charlie try to unpack that very question, dissecting some of the scariest songs of all time to create their own spine-tingling, hair-raising Halloween anthem. Songs discussed: Bobby “Boris” Pickett – Monster Mash Michael Jackson – Thriller Ray Parker Jr. – Ghostbusters Bernard Hermann – The Murder (From Psycho) John Williams – Main Title (Theme From Jaws) John Carpenter – Halloween, Main Title Cannibal Corpse – Scourge of Iron Learn more about your ad choices.

We know that Jeffrey Epstein was born on January 20th, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York City. We also know he died on August 10th, 2019 (or late the evening of the 9th) in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. But what do we know about the sixty-six years in-between? We don't know as much as Epstein as we do many of our previous biographical subjects - he was a pretty mysterious guy - but we do know quite a bit. We know he managed the multi-billion dollar fortune of Lex Wexner, founder and CEO of L Brands - a retail conglomerate that owns Bath and Body Works, Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria's Secret, and more. We know he flew around Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and many other celebrities and politicians on a plane dubbed the Lolita Express, and they hung out with many people of note at his private island in the US Virgin Islands, an island dubbed "pedophile island." He sexually assaulted women and girls there, at his massive Manhattan private residence, at his giant New Mexico ranch compound, in his Palm Beach Florida mansion, and elsewhere. In this first of a two-part episode, we examine his life as best we can, so we can best understand the conspiracies that sprung up in the wake of his very suspicious death. Who else was assaulting women and girls along with Epstein? How connected to the US government was this guy? We look into these questions and so much more today. Bad Magic Productions Monthly Patreon Donation:  This month our donation will be going to Lifting Hands International whose mission statement is “We provide aid to refugees both at home and abroad.

Andrew Zimmern knew from a young age he wanted a career in food. After attending The Dalton School and Vassar College, he cooked in New York City restaurants for Anne Rosenzweig, Joachim Splichal and Thomas Keller, amongst others. Andrew helped open and run a dozen restaurants, and at the same time was also an addict spiraling out of control. After a year spent living on the streets, an intervention by close friends brought him to the Hazelden Foundation in Minnesota. Transforming his life around sobriety, Andrew took a job washing dishes at Minneapolis' Café Un Deux Trois. In 1992, he was named executive chef and during his six-year tenure, turned Un Deux Trois into an awarded, national caliber restaurant. An Emmy-winning and four-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, writer and teacher, Andrew Zimmern is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable personalities in the food world. As the creator, executive producer and host of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods franchise, Andrew Zimmern's Driven by Food and Emmy-winning The Zimmern List, he has devoted his life to exploring and promoting cultural acceptance, tolerance and understanding through food. In 2020, Andrew returned to television with the MSNBC series What's Eating America. His latest series, Family Dinner, airs on Chip & Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network and steams on Discovery+.

This episode of The Jake Dunlap Show features Samantha Ettus, Founder and CEO at Park Place Payments. Sam grew up in New York and studied at the Dalton School her entire life. She opens up about her upbringing and how an unhealthy amount of pressure was placed on her to win at competitive tennis. She recalls getting special permissions from Dalton to leave school early everyday to travel to Long Island and play tennis. The pressures of Sam's tennis career revealed to her that life is organized according to 7 slices: family, health, career, hobbies, community, friends, and relationship. Incidentally, it is this same structure that she uses today when she advises women on how to manage their professional and personal lives. Her extraordinary drive to excel at tennis was motivated by the desire to get into the best school for college. As it turns out, she was accepted into Harvard. She remembers a pivotal moment when she actually had to choose between tennis and writing, and decided to quit what had been her lifelong identity as a tennis player.Upon graduation, Samantha pursued a career in Hollywood and shares the colorful personalities she met there working as a Hollywood assistant. Missing the creative side, she moved back to New York to work at Nickelodeon for Blue's Clues.Samantha would move on and go back to school at Harvard Business School, the only entrepreneur in her class, with the world's first personal branding firm. Next, she would go on to start her book series The Expert's Guide and share how a majority of her guests were results of cold calls and the creative ways she got them to say yes. She also talks about writing The Pie Life which is based on her 7 slices structure of work-life balance. Finally, Samantha shares how she founded Park Place Payments with the intention of empowering small businesses with financial freedom and growing it to a billion dollar company.QUOTES:04:50 "I think it's so important that we raise financially independent children so that they have the choices to live the life they want and I've always been passionate about equal rights."11:39 "We all have seven slices which are our family, our health, our careers, our hobbies, our community, our friends, and our relationship. And every single activity you have is organized into one of those slices."22:09 "It was really difficult decision... And honestly, I don't think I was actually ready to quit when I did, because it was mentally which showed me I wasn't ready to quit, is that I couldn't handle having all of this free time."35:55 "I had a lot of experience winning and losing as a child even when the stakes seemed really high... I think you have to go out there and try 20 times before you're going to get your yes." 45:24 "I've tried, as we grow, to place myself where my strengths are and then also to help identify where people in our team are strong and weak and make sure that they're in a position where they can be successful."More about SamanthaSamantha Ettus, Founder and CEO of Park Place Payments, has made it her mission to empower small businesses owners and help them achieve their financial independence.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Roy Swan, the director of mission investments at the Ford Foundation and a national leader in the fields of sustainable finance, impact investing, and community and economic development. In this conversation, Swan describes how his childhood aspirations for a career helping people, and his decades of experience in banking, community and economic development, and sustainable finance, have culminated in his work at the Ford Foundation where, he says, “our job is all about making the world better.” Swan recalls his enthusiasm when learning in 2017 that Ford had committed $1 billion of its then $12.4 billion endowment to mission-related investing: “I thought, the Ford Foundation and Darren Walker have just moved the world.” Swan joined the foundation from Morgan Stanley shortly thereafter and has helped shape and execute its mission investing strategy, focusing on private investments that achieve market rate returns and social impact in areas of affordable housing, financial inclusion, quality jobs, and identifying diverse fund managers to deploy Ford's capital (more recently it has also expanded into biotech and health tech in the global south). Swan says that he has never been more hopeful about the future of impact investing, chiefly because we now have the data that underscore the cost — social and financial — of deep social and environmental problems (i.e., the $16 trillion lost over the last two decades in the United States to racial gaps in wages, education, housing, and investment) and the positive social benefits and economic and financial returns that come from fairness, equity, and responsible corporate behavior.

Before joining Ford, Roy served as managing director and co-head of global sustainable finance at Morgan Stanley. During his time at Morgan Stanley, global sustainable finance committed over $13 billion in community development transactions. Among his prior experiences, he was the founding chief investment officer of New York City's Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ), a federal initiative to bring new resources to distressed urban communities, which played a key role in Harlem's economic rebirth. He also served as CFO at Carver Bancorp, a Harlem-based publicly traded financial institution and the nation's largest African American managed bank. Over the course of his career, Roy has worked in corporate law at Skadden Arps, investment banking at The First Boston Corporation, Salomon Brothers, and JPMorgan, and finance at Time Warner. Roy serves on several nonprofit boards, including the Dalton School, Enterprise Community Partners, Low Income Investment Fund, and the Partnership for After School Education. He also serves on the advisory boards of several private equity funds. Roy received a bachelor's degree from Princeton University and a JD from Stanford Law School, where he was an editor of the Stanford Law Review.

Carter and Keri discuss the immorality of attacks on "gifted and talented programs" for exceptional students, as well as a recent list of racist demands issued by leftist faculty at The Dalton School in Manhattan. They contemplate the collapsitarian view of letting schools fail, and Carter ties this to the importance of letting businesses die and avoiding government bailouts when unsuccessful endeavors are struggling. They next review David French's recent article, "Why Do They Hate Us," in which he attacks "white Evangelicals Americans" through unsupported ad hominem and innuendo. They close the show with Carter's response to a question about the difference between libertarian, an-cap, voluntarist, and objectivist labels.
