High society in New York City embraced Jeffrey Epstein with open arms, not in spite of his reputation, but because of his perceived wealth, connections, and elitist mystique. Epstein was a fixture at galas, dinner parties, and charity events, rubbing shoulders with billionaires, media moguls, Ivy League academics, and even royalty. He was treated as an intellectual financier with a private jet and a Rolodex that included presidents and Nobel laureates. Manhattan's social elite didn't just tolerate him—they invited him in, granting him access to the city's most exclusive rooms, often overlooking or dismissing the disturbing rumors swirling around him. His presence was seen as a social asset, not a liability, and that blind spot helped shield him for decades.Even after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, many in New York's elite circles remained silent or continued associating with him. Powerful individuals who claimed to value social justice, women's rights, or public morality had no problem sitting at Epstein's table or accepting his donations. His townhouse on East 71st Street became a symbol of this hypocrisy—a place where the rich and influential gathered, even as it doubled as a crime scene. The refusal of New York's elite to disavow him until it became socially untenable underscores a culture where money and proximity to power trumped basic decency. Epstein thrived not in the shadows—but in the very heart of high society, protected by a willful blindness that still hasn't been fully reckoned with.

 Summary  In this insightful episode, Shellee from *Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?* emphasizes the critical importance of early and strategic planning for college, advocating that families begin this process well before high school—ideally from preschool. She highlights that while families commonly plan for major life events like marriage, children, or retirement, very few have a clear plan for their child's educational future. Shellee categorizes families into four groups regarding college planning attitudes: denial, avoidance, do-it-yourself, or hiring an expert, urging parents to recognize their current stance and take action.  Shellee shares her personal experience raising her children with a strong emphasis on exploring interests and building foundational skills from an early age, exposing them to various environments, and encouraging leadership, service, and resilience. She stresses that middle school, particularly 8th grade, is the pivotal time to start serious academic and extracurricular planning since it sets the trajectory for high school success and college readiness.  The episode also covers the evolving landscape of college admissions, which has become more competitive and costly, making an informed and deliberate approach essential. Through detailed examples from her own family, Shellee illustrates that each child may follow a unique path, but with proper planning, all can graduate debt-free and find success aligned with their goals.  Lastly, she warns parents against common misconceptions—such as relying solely on schools, teenagers, or Google for college prep—and encourages early financial conversations and accountability. Shellee offers support through free resources and discovery calls, aiming to empower parents to confidently guide their children through the college planning process.   Highlights  Early planning for college should start as early as preschool, focusing on children's interests and future options rather than immediate college choices.  Middle school, especially 8th grade, is a critical period for academic and extracurricular decisions that impact high school and college readiness.  Each child's college journey is unique; a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works, but strategic, personalized planning leads to debt-free success.  Avoid common pitfalls: don't assume schools, teens, or the internet can handle college planning alone. Parental involvement is crucial.  Financial planning and early money conversations are essential to avoid surprises and ensure college affordability.  Exposure to diverse experiences like college visits, leadership, languages, and community service cultivates well-rounded, confident students.  The college admissions process has dramatically changed; it is now more competitive, expensive, and complex, requiring expert guidance.   Key Insights

Prof Kumar describes what his students did to achieve academic excellence and professional success.

In this episode, Ben Uyeda shares how chasing purpose instead of scale can transform your creative career — and your life. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force who left behind a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design concepts to the masses through media. His free, widely shared designs have reached over 50 million people and are being built around the world. We dive deep into the tension between scale and meaning in the creator economy — and how Ben has escalated from designing vases on YouTube to building a 65-room hotel in the desert, all without losing his creative soul. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or just trying to figure out what's next, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your relationship with risk, money, and mastery. Some highlights we explore: “Scaling is just repeating. Escalating is growing.” The mindset shift that changed Ben's career. Why Ben believes nature is becoming a luxury good — and how that shaped the Reset Hotel. The key difference between creatives who thrive in AI disruption and those who panic. Enjoy!

Revisiting the Devers trade after the deadline makes Breslow look even worse. Kelly and Suarez could have been ours. Prospect hugging is terrible. The perfect GM is Theo.

Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew, Alexander Djerassi, landed a prominent role at the U.S. State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State—serving as chief of staff in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, despite being in his mid-twenties with limited foreign policy experience. While establishment media rushed to frame the hiring as merit-based, citing his Ivy League background and campaign work, the optics are damning. This wasn't just any entry-level staffer; Djerassi was put in a powerful position overseeing sensitive Middle East matters at the very same time his aunt—deeply embedded in the Epstein trafficking machine—was under growing scrutiny.The more troubling angle is how quickly the story was dismissed by major outlets, with most brushing it off as a coincidence or irrelevant family trivia. But Djerassi's placement fits into a broader pattern of Epstein-world figures having shockingly easy access to elite institutions, even after the 2008 conviction that should have made Epstein and his circle political kryptonite. That a close relative of Ghislaine Maxwell could quietly ascend into a strategic federal role while Epstein was still leveraging his network speaks to how deep the rot may go—and how few in power were willing to ask uncomfortable questions when it counted. At best, it's a case of elite nepotism in motion. At worst, it's another example of how the Epstein ecosystem quietly seeped into the corridors of American power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thedailybeast.com/hillary-clinton-gave-state-department-job-to-epstein-madam-ghislaine-maxwells-nephew-says-reportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew, Alexander Djerassi, landed a prominent role at the U.S. State Department during Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State—serving as chief of staff in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, despite being in his mid-twenties with limited foreign policy experience. While establishment media rushed to frame the hiring as merit-based, citing his Ivy League background and campaign work, the optics are damning. This wasn't just any entry-level staffer; Djerassi was put in a powerful position overseeing sensitive Middle East matters at the very same time his aunt—deeply embedded in the Epstein trafficking machine—was under growing scrutiny.The more troubling angle is how quickly the story was dismissed by major outlets, with most brushing it off as a coincidence or irrelevant family trivia. But Djerassi's placement fits into a broader pattern of Epstein-world figures having shockingly easy access to elite institutions, even after the 2008 conviction that should have made Epstein and his circle political kryptonite. That a close relative of Ghislaine Maxwell could quietly ascend into a strategic federal role while Epstein was still leveraging his network speaks to how deep the rot may go—and how few in power were willing to ask uncomfortable questions when it counted. At best, it's a case of elite nepotism in motion. At worst, it's another example of how the Epstein ecosystem quietly seeped into the corridors of American power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thedailybeast.com/hillary-clinton-gave-state-department-job-to-epstein-madam-ghislaine-maxwells-nephew-says-report

Is your college list based on what you actually want—or what someone else told you to want? If the idea of an Ivy League school has taken over your college admissions strategy, you're not alone. The allure is real. But when the prestige of a name outweighs the actual experience and alignment, you (or your child) could end up in the wrong place, chasing someone else's dream. Too many students build their college list backwards—starting with a dream school instead of a dream experience. Counselors push, parents pressure, YouTube raves, and suddenly, you're sinking time, energy, and thousands of dollars into a goal that may not even make sense for you. This episode will help you break free from that Ivy tunnel vision and build a strategy that actually fits your life. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why Ivy League prestige doesn't guarantee career success (and the real stats behind the myth) How your school counselor's advice might be driven by their priorities, not yours The surprising red flags that your “dream school” may not be the right fit A 3-step process to build a college list based on alignment, not assumption Whether you're a student navigating this process or a parent supporting your child, this episode is your permission slip to ditch the default Ivy obsession—and choose with clarity, confidence, and intention.

How to write about the kaleidoscopic Sixties in the gloom of 2025? According to James Grady, author of the classic Six Days of the Condor and the new mid-century novel American Sky, the key is calibrating nostalgia with unflinching honesty about the past's complexities. "You can't just write about the past and not have a focus also on current times and really the future," Grady explains. The novelist's approach involves fictionalizing personal experiences while ensuring memories of traumatic events like the JFK or MLK assassinations connect with the painful realities of MAGA America. Rather than romanticizing the Sixties, Grady emphasizes the civil rights violence, the generational divide, and the "silent majority's" anxieties alongside the era's optimism. Grady's goal isn't to escape into nostalgia but to help readers understand how past dreams and failures shaped our present moment, making history a lens for understanding America's current challenges.1. Historical Fiction Must Connect Past to Present "You can't just write about the past and not have a focus also on current times and really the future. Otherwise it's like you're looking back at an old photograph of a horse and buggy. It's lovely, but it doesn't really speak to you."2. The Danger of Elite Liberal Condescension "Starting in about 1975 and 1976, I saw a new kind of, quote, liberal or left-winger come into the power circles of Washington, D.C. They were elite-educated, Ivy League, and they did their best to ignore any working class roots that they had. They started to look down on the labor unions."3. Fiction Can Reveal Truth Better Than Facts "So we can change the facts, but the facts are not necessarily necessary to reveal the truths... this is not a memoir where you have to be factual. This is fiction. And yet there's an echo of all of us."4. True Rebellion Requires Positive Vision "I always think of the great French philosopher Albert Camus who said a true rebel says yes to something better instead of just saying no and rejecting and fighting. You've got to have something to fight for."5. Literature Should Focus on Ordinary Americans "I think that a good author has to write about us, and you, almost more than they write about me... I want to know what's going on with someone in, you know, there's a town called Beaver Crossing, Nebraska, or, you know, Sonoma, California... Where real people are leading their lives and we learn from each other."Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Please welcome Sasha Graham, the host of the Sports Will Save Us All podcast! What a great name for a show, and I had a great time being a guest on it—we had a wide ranging conversation and really hit it off as she hit me with some surprise questions, trying to put me on the spot…it was wonderful that I said, you know what—how about I bring you onto the B.rad podcast? We turned the tables and while I didn’t put her on the spot too badly, we did talk about some really interesting and thought provoking topics in this episode—one of them was her description of herself as overly competitive, especially in her youth, and how she had to learn the hard way to manage that natural competitive intensity. I asked her if it was inherent or environmental, which led to a really interesting discussion about that and how, as she matured as a person and an athlete over the years, she realized that the most important thing was to have fun and appreciate the journey rather than obsess about the outcome. I think you're going to love some of that commentary, which might get you thinking about your own competitive mindset and the relative importance of appreciating the process versus setting and achieving goals. Sometimes we can get out of hand with that stuff, especially these days. Our conversation then transitions into a discussion about the overly pressurized, overly competitive youth sporting experience that seems to be the norm today, and what we can do about it as well-meaning, devoted parents who want the best for our kids and want to give them all the opportunities they deserve. But we also touch on some of these disturbing phenomenons that have been really highlighted these days, like the expense, the pressure, and the selectivity of competitive sports and how so many kids end up dropping out of them, so it’s also sort of an all or nothing approach. We also get into some parenting and some kid topics, like the potential solution of bringing back the emphasis and the promotion of recreational sports. I also asked Sasha what her relationship with sports means to her today and throughout her life. We had such a fun conversation and I think, after listening to it, you will be inspired to go listen to some of her great content on the Sports will Save us All podcast. You can start with my interview, but for now, here we go with Sasha Graham. Sports Will Save Us All is an award-winning weekly podcast from Sasha Graham and is available on every major podcasting platform. TIMESTAMPS: We explore many aspects of sport itself, looking at competition intensity and youth sports. [01:03] In a children's book, Sasha writes about a girl who is not invited to a party because she is always so competitive. She learns a good lesson. [06:09] Is an overly competitive nature inherent? [09:05] Endurance athletes might be different. [14:04] How do you categorize where the healthy competitive drive can drift into something that is not wholesome or has a negative aspect on your life? [16:47] Happines can be complicated but also deliciously simple. Have fun. Just don't focus so much on the outcome. [23:54] Look around your work or at your peers. Are they having a life like you want to have or are they so absorbed in their careers that they don't have family or other sources of happiness. [28:48] The state of today's youth sports is arguably overly competitive and pressurized. [32:43] Parents, let your kids play sports to have fun. [38:40] How can we guard against those negative repercussions in high level competitive in youth sports? [42:16] Why are parents so invested in what they perceive as success for the kids? [45:44] There's a kid at community college who is happy and a kid at an Ivy League who is merable. Which kid is the most successful? [54:04] Sasha has a successful podcast.

She is now looking to continue that momentum into the second half of the season, as the Thorns look to maintain their standing in the top half of the table.Pietra talks through her time with the US and Brazilian youth national teams, her reasoning for joining the Portland Thorns, how she hopes the accessibility of women's soccer continues to grow at the grassroots level, and so much more!Additionally, be on the lookout for questions on Pietra's experience at the 2024 U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia, Pietra's earliest soccer memories, and her time at Princeton!In the rapid-fire section, we get to learn more about Pietra off the pitch.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss Monday's mass shooting in midtown and its political impact of New York on the city's mayoral race. And, they discuss Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu disagreeing on the severity of the food crisis in Gaza. What has been the role of misleading and fake images in shaping public opinion? Then, they talk about a New York Times report that Harvard is the next Ivy League school to consider settling with the federal government over accusations of violating civil rights laws, one week after Columbia University agreed to pay $220 million to reinstate its federal grants and end investigations. Plus, they chat about the controversy over a new set of ads from American Eagle featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Critics have denounced the ads for including what they see as racist dog whistles, while supporters say the commercials signal the “death of woke advertising”. And finally, Carl talks to former congressman Brad Carson, head of Americans for Responsible Innovation, about President Trump's “AI Action Plan” and how regulation of artificial intelligence will help shape America's future economy and security.

Charles Lipson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago joins to talk about President Trump's wins over some Ivy League Universities.

Dr. Flora Waples, a board-certified physician, received double majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of Chicago in 2000 and graduated from Cornell Medical School at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City in 2006. After receiving her MD from this Ivy League institution, she completed her residency in Emergency Medicine and Trauma care at the University of Chicago—a training program consistently ranked among the top three in the nation. Dr. Waples began to study and perform aesthetic procedures in 2010 – and in 2011, she founded RESTOR with her sister Dominique. Together – they have grown RESTOR from a single location with one provider into a regionally known center of excellence with three locations and counting. Dr. Waples has always had the dream of growing RESTOR into a complete wellness and aesthetics practice that can help patients feel as good as they look and look as good as they feel. In 2021, Dr. Waples had the opportunity to begin a fellowship in Hormone Replacement Therapy and Longevity medicine, which she completed in 2022. Today she practices cutting-edge aesthetic, regenerative, and longevity medicine at RESTOR Medical Spa, teaches at RESTOR Academy, and works full-time as the Medical Director for RESTOR Medical Spa.

Mark and Nicole welcomed singer/violinist extraordinaire Lili Haydn to the lighter side of the dark side just as Lili's new album More Love comes out. Lili talked about her unusual upbringing as the only child of groundbreaking comedian Lotus Weinstock in a commune, being a child star and starring with Rodney Dangerfield and playing Columbo's daughter, which paid for her first violin and an Ivy League education. A chance encounter on stage with her mother led to a musical career that has led her to play with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, The Rolling Stones, Parliment-Funkadelic, Roger Waters (headliing Coachella) and so many other big names. She recently won a Grammy Award with her band Opium Moon, which also features her husband, she also is a sought after film scorer with several Netflix projects, and just released her latest solo album More Love which is already getting a big buzz and airplay She also talks about how she has cheated death twice (3 times if you include when she kicked Joe Pesci in the shins) and puts on eyeliner on the show to get in touch with her goth side...

Shaan Patel is here to discuss how you can slash the cost of college through some more advanced strategies. We also discuss major education changes packed into the “Big Beautiful Bill,” starting with the introduction of new Trump Accounts—a kind of IRA for minors with no deductions and withdrawal restrictions until age 18. We cover expanded uses for 529 plans, including tutoring, test prep, homeschool materials, and more. Repayment options are narrowed down to just two, and several popular income-driven plans are scrapped. We also talk about how Pell Grants are being expanded for short-term workforce programs and the future of the Department of Education as it sees deep funding cuts—all pointing to less federal support, more private lending, and a growing need for serious college planning.  We discuss... Major education reforms packed into the “Big Beautiful Bill,” starting with the new Trump Account—a savings vehicle for minors with a $5,000 annual cap, no deductions, and no early withdrawals. The bill expands 529 plans to cover tutoring, test prep, online learning, homeschool materials, and special education services. A new federal tax credit scholarship program allows individuals and corporations to donate up to $1,700 annually to scholarship organizations, with a 100% tax credit. There's also $500 million in grants for “American Values” curricula promoting patriotism and national pride. On the college side, new federal loan caps include $100K for master's degrees, $200K for professional degrees (like law or med school), and a $257,500 lifetime limit—while Grad PLUS loans are eliminated entirely. Repayment options are now limited to a standard plan or a new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), ending other income-based programs like SAVE and PAYE. Public Service Loan Forgiveness survives but faces tighter eligibility, and deferment options for hardship have been significantly cut. Workforce Pell Grants are expanded to include short-term training programs (8–15 weeks) for in-demand technical jobs. Wealthy universities face a major increase in endowment taxes—up to 8%—especially impacting Ivy League schools. The Department of Education will see a nearly 20% discretionary funding cut over five years, potentially affecting programs like TRIO that help low-income students access college. With fewer federal dollars and tighter lending, private loans may fill the gap—making proactive college and financial planning more critical than ever. Parents of younger students (7th–10th grade) should start planning early for the PSAT.
