In the latest episode of Everyday Injustice, Tony Viola, a former Cleveland real estate professional, shares his story of being wrongly accused and convicted in what was billed as the nation's largest mortgage fraud case. Viola was indicted in both state and federal court, accused of stealing $46 million, and cast in the media as the architect of a massive scheme that he says never existed. Viola described how prosecutors pressed forward despite banks stating they suffered no losses and despite evidence showing he had no connection to the companies at the center of the case. He said the government relied on informant testimony, pursued a faulty narrative, and engaged in intimidation and misconduct. Missing evidence, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and the destruction of key materials made it impossible for him to mount a fair defense, he said. The case shifted when Dawn Pella, a staffer inside the prosecutor's office, came forward with evidence of misconduct, including emails that showed prosecutors knowingly relied on false testimony. Viola used that material to secure a victory in a second trial, though he spent 10 years in prison before being released. Pella, who was expected to testify on his behalf, later died under suspicious circumstances, and her computer containing key documents disappeared. Now exonerated, Viola has turned his experience into advocacy, calling for accountability and an end to prosecutorial immunity. He said his case highlights how systemic misconduct in the justice system is not limited to street-level crimes but extends to complex financial cases as well. “If it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone,” Viola said.

In this episode of the Build Show Podcast,  our host Matt Risinger sits down with builder, educator, and longtime friend Jordan Smith for a deep dive into one of the most important questions in residential construction today: how do you build high-performance homes without blowing the budget? Drawing from Jordan's real-world experience and his recent video series, the two break down what “attainable high performance” really looks like—focusing on the four key “knobs” builders can turn to control cost: size, complexity, finishes, and labor. Along the way, Matt and Jordan share building science insights, trip stories from their time in Switzerland, and practical advice for designing details that matter more than materials. Whether you're building custom homes, spec houses, or just trying to make smart choices on a budget, this episode is packed with the kind of wisdom that helps good builders get even better. Huge thanks to our episode sponsors  Pella and Santa Fe.

Busy, kind, funny and self-deprecating. Jess stayed cool, calm and collected under pressure as the definition of a multi-tasking mom unfolded right in front of me in order to get the job done. Listen as this Chicago-area transplant talks micropreemie, losing a twin, infertility, the endless NICU stay, taking home "the sickest, smallest baby at Carle," trach life, regrets and therapy, COVID isolation, long-term challenges, sharing her family's story publicly and the decision not to monetize, getting to kindergarten in a public school, the decision to have another child and non-profit work.

I couldn't take in all of the poetic and prophetic words fast enough.

The artistry and talent behind cutting hair led him to give back through, "A Cut Above the Rest Barber Academy." What an honor to meet someone who is representative of coming full circle. I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor Illini Pella Windows & Doors of Champaign.
