Bob Nelson served as the leader of the Fresno Unified School District for seven years before becoming assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Fresno State. Fresno Unified trustees quietly doubled their own pay during a January meeting, using vague bylaw changes that didn’t disclose the new amounts all while retirees scrambled amid stalled healthcare negotiations and the district faces a $59 million deficit. Workers and union leaders blasted the move, saying frontline staff face cuts and layoffs even as board members boost their own compensation. Teachers, classified staff, and parents spoke out at a Fresno Unified board meeting, strongly opposing planned layoffs and job freezes. Classified workers warned the cuts would undermine classroom support, student transportation, and campus safety, putting schools and students at risk.

This week, we take a few minutes to lament the gold medal hockey game loss to the US, before discussing the stories of the week. This week saw the US Supreme Court strike down the tariff's that had been imposed by President Trump, as Adam had predicted after hearing the arguments before that Court. Also, we learned this week that the Tumbler Ridge school shooter was banned from Open AI for their postings on that platform, a school trustee in BC was fined $750,000 for comments about gender identity in the curriculum, and the Surrey Police have been denied in their request to delay their takeover of the RCMP in that region.Guest Dave Moore, a retired RCMP investigator, takes us inside the struggle for law enforcement to tackle the issue of securing our ports, and has a suggestion for how that may be done, taking after the example of Rotterdam.

One by one, Ontario school boards are being taken under the control of the provincial government, as Education Minister Paul Calandra says is in an attempt to fix reported financial mismanagement. Instead, the ministry has either appointed supervisors to oversee boards, or in some cases, Calandra himself will take direct control - a job he claims comes with no extra pay. However critics believe the move is a power-hungry one, and comes at the expense of students' wellbeing, as well as local democracy. Host Maria Kestane speaks to 680 NewsRadio Queen's Park reporter, Richard Southern, and Vice President of the Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation, Colin Matthew, to break down what's behind the takeovers, and what they believe the Ford government has up its sleeve. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Choosing a corporate trustee is one of the most important decisions in estate planning—especially if you're naming a bank, brokerage trust department, or independent trust company to manage assets and carry out your wishes after you're gone. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down how to compare corporate trustees beyond just “lowest fees,” including fiduciary standards, investment flexibility, service model, administrative capabilities, distribution discipline, technology/reporting, continuity, and how they handle family dynamics. We also cover the key differences between revocable and irrevocable trusts, including where each is typically used, how control and flexibility change, and why trustee selection matters even more once a trust becomes irrevocable. Finally, we explain Trust Protectors—what they do, why they can be a critical safeguard, and how they may help your beneficiaries replace a trustee later if service, philosophy, or circumstances change. For educational purposes only. This discussion is general in nature and not individualized legal, tax, or investment advice—talk with your estate attorney and tax professional to apply these concepts to your situation.

“We need trustees for sale because you changed your house!”___P and D owned land as 50/50 TiCs. P applied to have s 66G trustees appointed to sell it: [1]D resisted, claiming this breached an oral agreement: [2]P's claimed $1M in damages to be paid from D's share. D XC'd around $350K: [4] – [9]P and D bought the land to build 2 dwellings of the same value for their respective families: [10] – [11], [99]They agreed on how the development would go: [8], [12]D, who controlled a building company, would cause the work to be done: [13], [14]An architect was engaged by D before commencement: [22]Following a QS estimate, D's firm issued a quote for $985K to build based on the plans: [25]P and D faced challenges obtaining finance: [31]In May 2017 D, having opposed pulling out of the arrangement, sold their home to finance the project: [34]D changed the construction materials in D's house, increasing costs (and, we infer, building quality). P did not agree: [35], [95]P and D entered into a new contract with D's building company to do the same work, but for $860K…: [38]The changed price was to show serviceability to possible lenders: [39]Construction progressed but the finances were exhausted before completion. P suspected D spent the money on other projects D's company was working on: [43]In 2019, further money was borrowed: [44], [45]Later in 2021 further finance was obtained, and an OC issued: [47], [48]The land was subdivided: [50]Negotiations for apportioning costs failed: [49], [52]P commenced these proceedings and brought defect proceedings: [53]The Court reviewed the principles relating to the making of s 66G orders: [54] – [58]A s 66G order might not be made where a contract stands in the way. 4 questions arise, including whether there's an agreed “exit strategy”: [57], [58]D said there was an agreement for one subdivided property to pass to each of P and D on completion, with an accounting for costs to follow – this exit strategy, D said, prevented a s 66G order: [65], [66]No term explicitly prohibited appointment of s 66G trustees: [92]The Court found the “exit strategy” D contended for would only apply if construction proceeded pursuant to the plans. As D amended their home (with the use of different construction materials) construction did not proceed pursuant to the plans, and so the exit strategy failed: [93], [94], [95]Regarding onus: it was not for P to prove entitlement to a s 66G, but for D to disprove. D failed: [98] – [100]After dealing with issues flowing from P putting forward 1 (and not the required 2) trustees, and for seeking unusually generous compensation, the orders were made: [106], [107]D failed to establish entitlement to any additional funds: [109]Trustees were appointed, with an account to follow, with costs to be paid from the corpus. D's XC was dismissed with costs: [135], [136]___Please follow James d'Apice, Coffee and a Case Note, and Gravamen on your favourite platform!www.gravamen.com.au

INTERVIEW: Clint Olivier/Clovis Unified Trustee weighs in on Clovis Police and Clovis Unified School District moving forward with potential charges against several adults who showed up during a student-led walkout over immigration enforcement concerns. Officials say the adults’ presence escalated tensions and violated campus safety protocols, prompting an investigation into possible trespassing and disruption of school activities. The district emphasized that while students have the right to peaceful expression, outside interference won’t be tolerated. The situation has sparked debate in the community about protest rights, school safety, and the role of adults in student demonstrations.

Our first guest is Prof Natalie Waran. Nat is an internationally acclaimed animal behaviour and welfare scientist, educator and opinion leader. She was previously Professor of Animal Welfare, the Jeanne Marchig Animal Welfare Education Centre Director andInternational Dean at Edinburgh University's Veterinary School, before she moved back to NZ in 2016 to take up the role of Professor of One Welfare and Executive Dean at EIT where she was based for 7 years. She was until recentlyDirector of a new ‘A Good Life for Animals Centre' – a Research and Human Behaviour Change initiative in New Zealand. She is now full-time in her role as Director of NavigateWelfare, an international animal welfare consultancy,whilst maintaining her academic work as a Hon Professor at Edinburgh, Hartpury, and Charles Sturt Universities.  Over the past 30+ years, she has researched and published across a range of species, but her special interest is in equine welfare and she has worked on a variety of topics including; horse transport, indicators of equine stress andpain, equine problem behaviour, equine quality of life and welfare assessment as well as editing a book ‘The Welfare of Horses' published by Springer. Her most recent research collaborations involves colleagues in Australia, UK,Brazil, UK, Sweden and Denmark, all with the central objective of developing methods and understanding about positive horse welfare.

As the invited chairperson of the FEI Equine Ethics and Wellbeing Commission, she led the development of an ambitious report proposing a new ‘Good Life' Vision, Charter and 30 Recommendations toaddress critical issues related to the involvement of horses in sport, and in 2024, she co-authored a white paper (Good Equine Welfare) for Eurogroup for Animal Welfare.  In 2025 she was awarded an OBE for her services to equine welfare, research and education.  When at home in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand , Nat enjoys training and riding her own horses, coaching young riders and trying to teach her naughty donkeys and Pickles the (very) feral goat, new tricks.  

My guest today is Pascale Jean-Gilles. Pascale and I bumped into each other last week at two local events: a high school student-led protest in solidarity with Minneapolis in our town and at the County Legislature Building with hundreds of people showing up to support the "Safety and Dignity for All ACT", a bill to ensure guardrails with ICE agents in our county. Having known Pascale since she was 2 years old, it was a pure delight to reconnect with her and learn about who she is as a thoughtful, compassionate, dedicated young woman.  Pascale is Chief of Staff for NY State Representative, Mary Jane Shimsky, District 92, as well as an elected Trustee and Deputy Mayor for the Village of Nyack. She is invested in local politics, personal growth and cares deeply about meeting the needs of her community. I loved hearing what influenced Pascale to go to law school, the lessons she learned about her NJ clerkship in criminal court, her experience as communications director, campaign manager and director of outreach for an assemblywomen and a state senator.  It's refreshing to meet a trustworthy young person who see politics as a tool to advocate for basic human rights for all people.

Matt earned a BS in Political Science from the United States Naval Academy in 1994 and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in 2001.Matt and I had a fascinating conversation about Goldman's evolution of its private markets strategy and how the firm's “One Goldman Sachs” initiative has enabled them to bring the entire firm to bear as it helps deliver solutions for both wealth and institutional clients. We covered:How Matt's experiences across the firm inform the way he approaches solving needs for clients.The how and the why behind the “One Goldman Sachs” initiative.Goldman's client-centric approach. Why it matters to be an early mover in certain instances in private markets.Goldman's approach to partnerships in private markets.The power of the platform and how Goldman leverages its platform to help its private markets efforts.The importance of understanding geopolitics in today's increasingly complicated investing world.Thanks Matt for sharing your expertise, wisdom, and passion for private markets and private wealth.

What if someone actually followed through on that joke we all make: "If I won the lottery, I'd fund the boring stuff"? In this episode, host Simon Scriver sits down with Christina Poulton, the creator of The Boring Fund—a micro-grant initiative that started as an Instagram joke and turned into a movement that awarded 43 grants to small charities across the UK. Christina shares how a post featuring her daughter's teddy bear as "Chair of Trustees" went viral in the non-profit world, sparking over 500,000 engagements and revealing a desperate need for funding that covers the unsexy essentials: insurance, web hosting, accountancy, shelving, and yes- even biscuits for community groups. In this conversation, you'll discover: - Why traditional grant applications are built on mistrust rather than partnership - How Christina stripped her application process down to under 5 minutes - What happens when charities can't afford the "boring stuff" (spoiler: they reduce delivery or close down) - The emotional relief organisations felt when they didn't have to "dress up" what they actually needed - Why The Boring Fund is going open-source and spreading to countries around the world - How funders can learn from this accessible, transparent approach to grant-making If you've ever sat on a rickety chair writing a grant application for someone else's shiny project while your own operational costs go unfunded, this episode is for you.

College trustees consider more than just the monetary policies of universities. And former Brown University trustee Lauren Zalaznick is out with a new book that aims to humanize these often secretive roles with letters of reflection by Brown board members going back more than 100 years, some of them during other turbulent times in U.S. history. She brings the sensibility from her career as a television executive, when she led the Bravo network as it created The Real Housewives franchise and hits like Project Runway and Top Chef. Jeff and Michael talk to Zalaznick about her new book and her views on how colleges need to reassert their broader social value to meet this moment of crisis for higher ed.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Ebisan about trust — and why it begins not with others, but with learning to trust ourselves. Ebisan reflects on how she approaches relationships with openness, but also with hesitation — not as fear, but as discernment. She talks about trusting the signals we feel in our bodies, and how gut instinct often tells us when something feels right, or when something feels off, long before we can explain it. The conversation explores how trust is built in layers, through consistency, accountability, and paying attention to behaviour over time. Ebisan shares how trust looks different across cultures, generations, and contexts — and why what feels trustworthy in one situation may not translate directly into another. Ebisan and Julia also speak candidly about disappointment — what happens when trust is broken, why we often feel more disappointed in ourselves than in others, and how ignoring early signals can leave us feeling foolish rather than angry. This episode is a reminder that trusting others starts with self-trust — listening carefully, questioning our instincts when needed, and learning to hold openness and hesitation in balance as we navigate relationships. About the Guest: Ebisan Akisanya, Chairman, WIMBIZ Board of Trustees, is a seasoned development professional with nearly 30 years of experience driving social impact across corporate and nonprofit sectors. Her passion for inclusive growth is reflected in her active service on several not-for-profit boards, where she contributes to initiatives that address systemic social inequities and uplift vulnerable populations. She currently serves as coordinator, Corporate Responsibility and National Programs at Chevron Nigeria, where she leads initiatives that drive sustainable impact. Ebisan holds a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacology and a Master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos. Beyond her corporate role, Ebisan is also an active member of the African Philanthropy Forum (APF), a dynamic network of social investors committed to advancing development across the continent.

Bowdoin College publicly distanced itself from Jes Staley in response to mounting controversy over his personal and professional ties to Jeffrey Epstein, culminating in Staley's resignation from the college's Board of Trustees in November 2021. Although Bowdoin initially investigated Staley's relationship with Epstein after Epstein's 2019 arrest and determined that “there was nothing in Jes Staley's actions or behavior that warranted the board taking any action,” student activists and faculty pushed back aggressively, arguing that his continued presence on the board conflicted with the college's stated values given his long-standing relationship with a convicted sex offender. Staley's decision to step down from the trusteeship coincided with his resignation as CEO of Barclays amid external regulatory scrutiny into his disclosures about Epstein, signaling a broader withdrawal of institutional support.In the years that followed, Bowdoin's leadership has further reassessed its earlier praise of Staley, with President Clayton Rose acknowledging that his previous commendations of Staley did not reflect a full understanding of the depth of their relationship with Epstein. This shift came as more details about Staley's interactions with Epstein — including extensive email correspondence and social contact — became public, intensifying criticism from students and alumni that the college had been too slow or too reluctant to act. Although Bowdoin maintained formal gratitude for Staley's service at the time of his resignation, the overall tone from the administration evolved toward recognizing the problematic nature of Staley's association with Epstein and the resulting reputational harm.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
