The Truth About PE Jobs: High Stakes, Hidden Rules, and Hard Lessons I Kit Lisle Private equity looks glamorous—fast money, big titles, big exits. But the glossy promise hides a brutal truth: most execs flame out before they ever cash out. Step into a PE-backed role and three things hit you at once: Culture shock. The rules change overnight. Acronyms fly. Resources vanish. The stamp. Survive a deal and you're branded a pro athlete of business—faster, sharper, battle-tested. The clock. From day one, it's ticking. No 90-day ramp. Deliver value now. In this episode, Kit Lisle—Army intelligence officer turned M&A strategist and founder of TheOperators.pe—pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get hired into PE: The myths that kill execs in interviews. The red flags that get you crossed off instantly. Why EQ matters more than spreadsheets. And why job boards are useless when real opportunities live in relationships. PE isn't just another job. It's a sprint, a test, and for those who make it, a career-defining badge of honor. Thinking about a private equity role? Listen now. Because the truth isn't in the job description—it's in the hidden rules Kit Lisle reveals.
In this episode of Gangland Wire, I sit down with Keith Grounsell, a veteran lawman whose career spanned patrol, specialized units, and high-stakes undercover work with the DEA. Keith takes us inside the hidden world of narcotics investigations, sharing stories that reveal both the danger and the human toll of living a double life. We talk about how Keith's upbringing as the son of a Marine pushed him toward public service, and how his path eventually led him into the shadowy world of drug traffickers. He recalls the adrenaline of undercover drug deals, the razor's-edge risks, and the constant challenge of protecting his cover while keeping his integrity as a cop intact. Keith also reflects on the strain this life put on his family and the psychological pressure of staying in character for months at a time. His advice to new officers is candid and practical—emphasizing the need for physical fitness, community ties, and strong mental health to survive the demands of the job. Our conversation widens to the broader impact of drug trafficking on crime and communities, and the need for law enforcement to adapt to ever-changing threats. Keith also shares his writing journey, a four-book series titled Narc's Tale, which chronicles his undercover assignments and the lessons he carried forward. This episode offers both gripping stories from the field and a rare inside look at the toll—and the nobility—of narcotics enforcement.

This is Gary Jenkins. I am a retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Detective, as most of you know, because I've got a lot of regular listeners. And those that don't know, that's who I am. And I have another copper here with me today. I've got Keith Grounsel. Keith, welcome. Hey, Gary. Thanks for having me on the show. I'll tell you what, Keith. I love talking to and interviewing, but then our conversations before and after talking to these other coppers that have worked around the country. It's always fun. We talk the same language, I've noticed. And that's around the world, too. I haven't worked internationally. We're a universal group of people that always collaborate together and get along in different environments. Yeah. And then we start telling stories and it really gets good. [0:49] That's right. But we can't record all those stories. So we don't want to record some. We don't want to record. All right, Keith. Now you became a cop, you know, where are you from originally? [1:04] And then what, what, what made you think that you wanted to be a police officer? Me, I wanted to be a cowboy. [1:10] And so that was a close job to being a cowboy. So how about you? Yes. It's kind of funny. My dad was a United States Marine, 22 years.

Donna Adelson's High-Stakes Loyalty: Scripts, Cover-Ups & Prison Future What happens when enmeshment doesn't just ruin relationships—but pulls a family into crime? In this segment, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the Adelsons' darkest dynamics, where loyalty has crossed into cover-ups, scripts, and manipulation. We explore why some family members are willing to risk everything, even prison, to protect the family unit. Why does one sibling cross the line into criminality while another refuses? And how did Donna Adelson allegedly turn manipulation into a lifestyle—writing scripts for testimony, bribing with promises of money, pianos, and veneers, and pulling strings even behind bars? Shavaun breaks down the psychology of narcissistic control, where scripting family members and dictating their roles becomes second nature. This control, she explains, doesn't stop at the prison gates. Donna may continue to build “family” on the inside, manipulating vulnerable women the same way she controlled her children. The conversation also looks at how juries perceive this kind of toxic family loyalty: is it recognizable to outsiders, or does it take expert framing to expose just how abnormal it is? Finally, we ask the chilling question: what does Donna Adelson's future look like behind bars? Will she deteriorate, or reinvent herself as the same manipulator she always was?

On this episode: Congress has returned from its summer recess, but the break has done little to ease the challenges on their plate. At the top of the agenda is a fast-approaching deadline to fund the government, with debates inside the Republican caucus shaping what kind of proposal might move forward. Democrats face their own set of pressures, balancing calls from within the party's base for a tougher stance with concerns about being seen as responsible for a potential shutdown. These crosscurrents come at a moment when long-serving members like New York Democrat Jerry Nadler are beginning to step aside, raising broader questions about generational change and how leadership roles may shift in the coming years.Beyond the funding debate, lawmakers are also navigating how best to explain sweeping legislation to voters back home, a task complicated by the sheer size and scope of recent bills. Discussions around security funding for Washington, D.C., add another layer of complexity, as members weigh policy details alongside political considerations. And then, of course, there's the ongoing public pressure for greater transparency in the Epstein saga.Together, these issues illustrate the crowded landscape on Capitol Hill and the many factors shaping the work of Congress this fall.

This episode unites two voices exposing treason at the highest levels: John Donovan, a former FBI agent and OSINT analyst whose discoveries prefigured Edward Snowden's revelations, and Ian Hamilton Trottier, author of High Stakes Treason: How John Brennan Compromised American Security for Millions.Together, they unravel how former CIA Director John O. Brennan weaponized U.S. intelligence: from shielding terror suspects to laundering billions through CIA-tied corporations, to orchestrating election interference and color revolutions. With forewords by Roger Stone, Brooks Agnew, and John Kiriakou as backdrop, we examine Brennan's treason not as speculation—but as a coordinated betrayal of the American people.Presented in partnership with: American Made Foundation & American Made Actionhttps://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgFollow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax - https://pickax.com/annvandersteel
Send us a textThree seasoned gamblers pull back the velvet rope on what really happens at casinos across America. From the glittering floors of Las Vegas to regional venues like Erie's Presque Isle and Mountaineer in West Virginia, our guests share unfiltered stories from their collective decades at the tables.Blackjack emerges as the unanimous favorite game, though as Bill admits, "they take all my money most of the time I show up there, and I have a blast doing it." The panel doesn't hold back when discussing slot machines, with John calling them "a poor person's game" while explaining why the programmed odds make them a losing proposition long-term – though Mike shares a surprising $150 win from his very first spin.The conversation reveals fascinating insights about casino culture beyond gambling. All three guests appreciate how venues have evolved into complete entertainment destinations featuring everything from comedy shows to MMA fights. John reminisces about seeing George Carlin perform in Vegas, while Bill highlights Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York as the perfect blend of gambling, golf, and fine dining.When the discussion turns to casino cuisine, the recommendations range from Erie's midnight buffet to the steakhouse at Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, which Bono declares serves "the best steak I've ever had." Throughout their stories, one truth becomes clear: the real value in casino visits often comes from the overall experience rather than whatever happens at the tables.Whether you're a seasoned gambler or simply curious about what happens behind those flashing lights, this episode offers an entertaining look at casino culture through the eyes of those who've lived it.

This Money Monday, Brian goes into one of the biggest economic and controversial question today: Should the U.S. government invest billions into Intel to keep semiconductor innovation and manufacturing on American soil? Drawing parallels to the auto bailouts of 2009 and other government rescues, Brian unpacks the risks of “socializing” industries, the potential dilution of Intel shares, and the broader implications for investors, taxpayers, and global competition. From China's aggressive tech strategies to the exploding demand for AI and quantum computing, the conversation asks whether a government stake in Intel is a smart safeguard—or a dangerous precedent. Is this a necessary move to secure America's technological edge, or another slippery slope where taxpayers foot the bill for failing companies?

When they're not, you don't know where the bottom is."In this episode, entrepreneur, author, and developer Jose Berlanga and I discuss navigating complexity and leadership lessons learned from childhood adversity and many years of leading through high-stakes moments. We specifically discuss the importance of calculated risk-taking, building resilient teams, creating contingency plans, and the difference between leadership under pressure and micromanaging out of fear. In high-stakes moments, success often hinges not on avoiding risk, but on knowing which ones are worth taking, and leading with conviction when the path forward is unclear.Key Takeaways:--> Discomfort is ConstantLeading through difficulty isn't an exception—it's the norm, especially in entrepreneurship.--> Risk as a Way of LifeEarly adversity can build resilience; successful leaders develop a tolerance for discomfort and pressure.--> Preparation > PredictionContingency planning is critical.

Avoid micromanaging.--> Team PowerBuild a proactive team that can think and act independently. Leadership shifts you from doing to coordinating.--> Short-Term vs. Long-Term ThinkingIn crises, long-term strategy narrows to survival mode—prioritize urgent, essential tasks.This episode will help you navigate those complex, high-stakes moments with more clarity, confidence, and ease.

The host examines the internal struggle within the Democratic Party over their public stance on crime and immigration. Citing a CNN pollster, the host points out that Democrats are alienating voters by defending criminals and advocating for policies like sanctuary cities, leading to a significant drop in their approval ratings on crime. The host plays soundbites from leading Democratic candidates who prioritize protecting "undocumented residents" over citizens, highlighting the growing divide between the party's base and mainstream public opinion. The conversation then transitions to the high-stakes summit in Alaska between the President and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The host argues that the meeting is an attempt to repair a relationship that was damaged by fabricated "Russia collusion" narratives and unwarranted sanctions, which he claims were orchestrated by the deep state and Hillary Clinton's campaign. The host explains that Putin's presence on U.S. soil is a sign of immense trust, and the true purpose of the meeting is a deep-state-free conversation to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict
