Podcasts about Groff

Lesley Groff was more than just Jeffrey Epstein's assistant—she was allegedly one of the operational architects behind the scenes of his trafficking empire. For years, Groff managed Epstein's calendar, travel logistics, and appointments, but the allegations against her go much deeper than administrative work. Victims and lawsuits have accused her of coordinating meetings that were, in reality, abuse sessions involving underage girls. She's been described as someone who not only arranged encounters but also actively facilitated the recruitment process by maintaining contact with young girls and, in some cases, instructing them to bring others. Her office wasn't a neutral workspace—it was the nerve center of a global sex trafficking ring hiding behind layers of wealth and corporate polish.Despite these disturbing claims, Groff has never been criminally charged. She was one of the individuals protected under Epstein's infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement, which granted immunity to unnamed co-conspirators and allowed key enablers to escape justice entirely. In the years since, she's managed to keep a low profile, rarely speaking publicly while civil suits were quietly dismissed or settled. Her continued freedom, in the face of such serious allegations, is a reminder of how deeply entrenched Epstein's protection network was—and how many of those who helped orchestrate his abuse still walk free, untouched by the justice system. Groff's story isn't just about her—it's about a system that shielded the guilty while survivors were left to carry the weight of silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein assistant accused of supplying girls for the pedophile WILL NOT face charges | Daily Mail Online

In this lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Jane Doe 43 accuses Jeffrey Epstein and several of his closest associates—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, and Natalya Malyshev—of participating in and facilitating Epstein's long-running sex trafficking operation. The complaint, brought through her legal counsel, alleges that the defendants were not only aware of the abuse but were active participants in grooming, recruiting, and coercing underage girls to engage in sexual acts with Epstein and his powerful associates. Jane Doe 43 claims she was one of the many young victims ensnared in this network, suffering serious emotional and physical harm as a result.The lawsuit paints a picture of an organized, high-functioning operation where each defendant played a specific role in maintaining Epstein's trafficking enterprise. Maxwell is described as the primary enabler who helped lure and manipulate girls, while Kellen, Groff, and Malyshev are portrayed as essential logistical coordinators who scheduled encounters, managed Epstein's properties, and ensured a steady supply of victims. By demanding a jury trial, Jane Doe 43 is seeking accountability not only from Epstein's estate but also from the living co-conspirators who, she alleges, helped facilitate the abuse and enabled his crimes to continue for years without interruption.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - RansomeComplaint - Final for Filing

What if the reason change feels so hard is because you're using the wrong psychological model to navigate it? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with transformation expert Bree Groff to break down the hidden mechanics of personal and organizational change. Bree reveals why people resist transitions, how to diagnose the real source of friction, and the counterintuitive moves that make change stick—whether you're shifting a habit, a relationship dynamic, or an entire team culture. You'll learn simple, science-backed frameworks to reduce overwhelm, increase adaptability, and guide yourself (and others) through uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Adriana Ross, Sarah Kellen Vickers, Lesley Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova were four of the women long described in court filings, survivor testimony, and investigative reporting as central figures within Jeffrey Epstein's inner orbit—often referred to as his “core four.” Each played a different role in the machinery that enabled Epstein's trafficking operation to function across multiple properties and jurisdictions. Ross, a former model from Poland, was accused in depositions of helping arrange encounters and recruit new girls inside the Palm Beach network. Kellen Vickers was repeatedly described by survivors as the gatekeeper who scheduled “massages,” organized travel, and prepared rooms—allegedly escorting underage girls into Epstein's private quarters and instructing them on how to behave. Groff functioned as Epstein's long-time executive assistant, handling logistics like flights, schedules, and household coordination that allowed the operation to run smoothly and discreetly. Marcinkova, a Slovak-born pilot and former model who lived within Epstein's residence network, was alleged to have been both a sexual participant and a recruiter, and was later named as one of the individuals who received immunity under Epstein's 2008 sweetheart deal.Together, the roles of Ross, Kellen Vickers, Groff, and Marcinkova illustrate how Epstein's criminal empire operated like a corporate structure—complete with scheduling, logistics, recruitment, transportation, and internal management that shielded Epstein from direct exposure. They formed a protective layer between Epstein and the victims, helping sustain a system designed to normalize abuse, silence resistance, and minimize the risk of interruption. The fact that none of these women have ever faced criminal prosecution, despite repeated accusations and extensive naming in legal proceedings, underlines the depth of systemic failure surrounding the Epstein case and raises the question of how an operation of this scale could have persisted for decades without intervention. These four figures remain emblematic of how Epstein did not act alone; he relied on a network that operated with precision—and that network has largely escaped accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) & Greg Alba dive into Disney's animated sequel Frozen 2 featuring Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell), Kristoff (voiced by Jonathan Groff), Olaf (voiced by Josh Gad) and Sven the reindeer, as they leave Arendelle, follow a mysterious voice, confront elemental spirits, uncover their family's past and grow beyond “Let It Go.” We break down every major musical moment in the film — from “All Is Found” (Evan Rachel Wood) to “Some Things Never Change” (Bell, Menzel, Gad & Groff) to the anthem “Into the Unknown” (Menzel feat. Aurora) to “When I Am Older” (Gad) to Kristoff's quirky “Lost in the Woods” (Groff) and “Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People (Cont.)” (Groff) and Elsa/Queen Iduna's lullaby “All Is Found” reprise, plus Anna's emotional “The Next Right Thing” (Bell). We comment on the lyrics, the music-video-style sequences (MV moments), how Disney slid into more mature themes, how each song moves character arcs and advances the story, and how the animation elevates every beat. Whether you're searching Frozen 2 songs explained, Frozen 2 soundtrack breakdown, Elsa Anna Kristoff character growth Frozen 2, or Disney animation sequel reaction, this full commentary covers it all.

No one knows what waits on the other side of the door. It could be a scared five-year-old with a head cut, a fentanyl addict out in a parking lot, or a welfare check where the smell hits two floors below. In this conversation with a 21-year Seattle firefighter, we step past the clichés and into the craft.We dig into street medicine the way it's actually practiced. He breaks down hands-only CPR and the hard truth that effective compressions are “beautifully violent,” explains why Seattle's Medic One reshaped prehospital care, and talks candidly about Narcan—how it flips the receptors, why dealers “market” lethal batches, and what compassion fatigue feels like after the tenth overdose of the day. The most dangerous scenes? Often the quiet ones on the shoulder of a freeway, where kinetic energy makes reflective cones a survival strategy.Then everything changes: he refused the COVID shot on religious grounds and was terminated alongside dozens of colleagues. He walks us through exemptions, deadlines, and why he sees the mass firings as an ideological purge. We cover the legal terrain—Groff v. DeJoy, strict scrutiny, and the Bacon ruling—showing how these precedents could reshape religious accommodation far beyond one department. This isn't a rant; it's a grounded account of process, principle, and fallout.What comes after a badge? You'll have to listen. His closing advice? Show up fit, protect your mind, don't make the patch your whole identity, and add value where you stand.

"Most people can't remember the last time they went to bed and thought: today was fun."   In this conversation with Bree Groff, author of Today Was Fun, we recenter the conversation on joy, pleasure, and meaning at work. Bree shares why her mom always said, "I have the best days," what it taught her about how we spend our lives, and why fun is not frivolous, it's the driver of creativity, performance, and belonging.   We also dive into the future of work and AI: "If the AI is a train speeding up behind you, don't try to outrun it. Step off the tracks. Be the most human version of yourself." Why we should measure success not only in revenue and customers, but in whether our companies create good days. Why Mondays are not a renewable resource and how leaders can treat each day as a responsibility.   As Bree says: "The pain is optional, and the fun is free."

Losing her mom to cancer reminded Bree that life is fleeting.  Working as a consultant, she also saw how many people are miserable in their jobs.  Connecting these dots, she decided to help people find more joy and meaning in their work and rather than count the days to the weekend, turn things around and actually look forward to getting to work, perhaps even embrace a “TGIM” mentality.  In her book, Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously) she gives numerous examples of way we can find more joy from our work and our colleagues and encourages employers that creating a fun-filled workplace can improve an organization's performance and bottom line.    Chapters: 00:00 Work Should Be Fun  Bree Groff, author of Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously) shares how her mother, a kindergarten teacher, inspired her to believe that work can be enjoyable. After experiencing consulting and witnessing widespread job dissatisfaction, Bree realized that many people are not having fun at work.  03:59 A New Perspective on Work  Bree's perspective on work drastically changed after her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis, leading her to question why people wish away their workdays. She advocates for a “middle way” where work is a pleasant way to spend time, not just a means to a paycheck or an all-consuming passion.  10:56 Fun Boosts Productivity  Bree argues that fun at work increases productivity and employee engagement, citing research from Gallup. She challenges the traditional notion that work cannot be fun and explores how elements like comfortable dress codes can enhance well-being and authenticity.  17:29 Embracing Authenticity in Work  Bree uses the example of a heart surgeon listening to ‘Napoleon Dynamite' during operations to illustrate that even serious work can benefit from a relaxed and authentic environment. She emphasizes the importance of treating our brains like athletes by prioritizing sleep, comfort, and mental health.  21:43 Micro Mischief and Generosity  Bree suggests ‘micro mischiefs' for employees to subtly challenge restrictive workplace norms and encourages leaders to assume the best in their teams. She advocates for a cycle of generosity, where leaders support their employees' well-being, leading to increased commitment and better work.  29:01 Humanizing the Virtual Workplace  Bree discusses the benefits of remote work in humanizing colleagues, as shared glimpses into personal lives foster empathy and stronger relationships. She highlights how moments like the BBC interview interruption showcased the human side of professionals, breaking down traditional barriers.  33:11 Future of Joy at Work  Bree emphasizes that physical distance doesn't mean emotional distance in virtual work and suggests structured check-ins to maintain human connection. She notes a positive shift, especially among younger generations, towards valuing mental health and work-life boundaries, which aligns with her vision for joyful workplaces.  41:48 Reflections and Closing  Bill Burke reflects on the work-from-home versus in-office debate, acknowledging both the benefits of in-person interaction and the strong arguments for virtual work. He expresses appreciation for Bree Groff's insights and her book, encouraging listeners to engage with the podcast and the Optimism Institute.

Religious Liberty Hits Home: Randall WengerReligious liberty isn't just a topic for scholars or lawyers — it's something that touches everyday life. It matters when a business owner faces pressure to go against their faith. It matters when a worker is told they have to choose between their job and their religious convictions. And that's exactly why the work of Randall Wenger, Chief Counsel at the Independence Law Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, deserves attention.On a recent episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, Randy shared how his legal work — and his deep personal commitment to religious freedom — have shaped not only court decisions but the lives of ordinary Americans.Take the Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Burwell case. A family-owned woodworking business in Pennsylvania faced steep fines for refusing to provide abortion-inducing drugs in their employee healthcare plan — something that went directly against their Christian beliefs. Randy helped take their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling in their favor didn't just protect one family — it affirmed that people of faith don't have to set their convictions aside when they run a business.Then there's Groff v. DeJoy. Gerald Groff, a postal worker, had faithfully kept Sundays as a day of rest and worship. But the Postal Service kept scheduling him anyway — until he felt forced to resign. With Randy's help, that case also reached the Supreme Court. The Court sided with Groff, strengthening the right of all workers to seek religious accommodation on the job.These victories are more than legal milestones — they're reminders that religious liberty is not an abstract principle. It protects real people in real situations across the country.On the podcast, Randy spoke not just as a lawyer but as a father — one who's seen his own children grow in faith at Cedarville University. His message was clear: If we want to pass on a country where faith is free to flourish, we need to defend it now.Because religious liberty isn't just a legal issue — it's a human one.https://share.transistor.fm/s/71c69919https://youtu.be/sL_WJ4nrl3Q

Leslie Groff, a former executive assistant to Jeffrey Epstein, is alleged to have been a central figure in facilitating his criminal enterprise. Groff is accused of managing Epstein's daily operations, including scheduling appointments and arranging travel, some of which allegedly involved underage girls. Survivors of Epstein's abuse have identified Groff as a gatekeeper who ensured Epstein's access to his victims, highlighting her role in maintaining the infrastructure that enabled his predatory behavior. Critics argue that her administrative skills were weaponized to serve Epstein's illicit activities, raising serious concerns about the extent of her complicity in his crimes.Defenders of Groff suggest that she may not have fully understood the scope of Epstein's criminal activities, claiming she operated under a professional facade and followed orders without questioning their implications. However, critics contend that her long-term association with Epstein and her active management of his personal affairs indicate at least a willful ignorance, if not direct knowledge, of his abusive conduct. Groff's role, whether seen as that of an unwitting accomplice or a deliberate enabler, underscores the systemic nature of Epstein's criminal network, where trusted aides played pivotal roles in insulating him from scrutiny and perpetuating his exploitation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Josh sat down and had a real and honest conversation with K. Ryan Groff of Legacy Electrical Services Inc. With more than 20 years of experience in the skilled trades, he currently holds the title of president at Legacy and because he has also been the guy that poured the concrete and pulled the wire, those on his team have great respect for him and where he's leading them. Ryan has an interesting take on how to communicate effectively and the importance of how we use our words. We also talked about whether or not there are stupid questions. Ryan and Josh also discussed the importance of having an awareness of what's going on around you and how you can prepare yourself to be available for opportunities that you don't even know are there. I encourage you to listen to this upcoming episode as Ryan unpacks this insightful information. Also, are there stupid questions?

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we're chasing down the beginnings of a Pennsylvania hemp fiber supply chain. We start the day in southern Lancaster County at Steve Groff's farm, standing in the middle of what he calls his “hemp canyon,” with towering stalks over fifteen feet tall. Groff has about 60 acres of the Australian hemp variety MS-77, which seems to do well on Groff's farm. He's also working on a green decorticator. If the machine works as planned, it could change the way fiber hemp is harvested — cleaner, faster and without the need for retting. From there we cross the Susquehanna River into York County to visit Dave Cook at Tuscarora Mills in Red Lion. Dave and his partner Heidi Custer are working to turn Pennsylvania-grown hemp into yarn and fabric. Their mill is full of antique looms and their goal is simple but ambitious: To revive textile production here in the Keystone State using local hemp fiber. It's still early days for a Pennsylvania supply chain, but the work Groff and Cook are doing points toward a future where hemp textiles are grown, processed and woven right here at home.
