Podcasts about trustees

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.

The district emphasized that while students have the right to peaceful expression, outside interference won’t be tolerated.

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.

Regular In Touch listeners will know that decisions to make organisational changes by management at The Macular Society have been met with strong opposition. The changes include a reduction in the number of regional managers, a move which some in the charity say will badly damage service provision. Indeed, feelings are running so high that a group called "Save Our Society, Save our Services" or SOS has been formed. Following a recent Annual General Meeting, SOS claimed they had been denied the opportunity to properly challenge management and that controversial decisions had been forced through.Amid this acrimony, we were keen to give people from both sides of the argument the opportunity to explain their position. We're pleased to say that SOS members Tricia Sturgeon and Ron Barnett, and Cecilia Bufton, Chair of the Society's Board of Trustees agreed to join us to do just that.Presenter: Peter White Producers: Beth Hemmings and Fern Lulham Production Coordinator: Helen SurteesWebsite image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/_HJt1zjecCoThe major environmental challenge of our time is framed in terms of what happens in our atmosphere, and specifically what are called “greenhouse gases”. But what is an atmosphere, and how does it behave? Does the atmosphere vary across the world, and what enters and leaves it normally? This lecture will explore how humanity has taken some things from the air and put other things into it, what the effects have been, and what this means for our future.This lecture was recorded by Professor Helen Czerski on the 22nd January 2026 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Dr Helen Czerski is a physicist and oceanographer with a passion for science, sport, books, creativity, hot chocolate and investigating the interesting things in life. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London and her research focus is the physics of breaking waves and bubbles at the ocean surface. These bubbles change underwater sound and light, help transfer gases from ocean to atmosphere (helping the ocean breathe) and also eject ocean material into the air. She has spent months working on research ships in the Antarctic, the Pacific, the North Atlantic and the Arctic, and is an experienced field scientist. Helen has been a regular science presenter on the BBC for 15 years, covering the physics of the natural world in BBC2 landmark documentaries (including ‘Orbit', ‘Operation iceberg' and ‘Supersenses'), and the physics of everyday life in a range of BBC4 documentaries (including ‘From ice to fire: The incredible science of temperature', ‘Sound waves: The symphony of physics', and ‘Colour: The spectrum of science', along  with many others). She currently co-hosts BBC Radio 4's flagship climate and environment programme Rare Earth. Helen's first book Storm in a Teacup won the Italian Asimov Prize and the Louis J. Battan Author prize from the American Meteorological Society. Blue Machine won the Wainwright Prize for Conservation Writing. She was awarded the Institute of Physics Gold Medal in 2018 for her work on physics communication, and an Honorary Fellowship of the British Science Association in 2020. She has been a Trustee of Royal Museums Greenwich since 2018, and was one of the 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecturers, giving her Lecture on the topic of the ocean. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/ocean-airGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Nick Cohen talks to Mark Urban about the UK's deep defence crisisNick Cohen & Mark Urban discuss changing dynamics of the American-British alliance and its huge implications for British defence strategy.Mark Urban and Nick discuss how recent actions by Donald Trump have created uncertainty about America's role as a traditional ally, particularly regarding NATO and European security. They explored how Brexit has weakened Britain's position in Europe at a time when European cooperation is needed more than ever, and criticise the current Labour government's lack of leadership in addressing defence needs.They talk about how Britain's nuclear deterrent remains dependent on American cooperation, though Mark notes that Britain could maintain its deterrent for about 10 years even if American support was withdrawn. They also discuss how the British military has become increasingly vulnerable and underfunded, with defence spending at just 2.5% of GDP compared to 7% in 1961 when Mark was born.Mark and Nick discuss the changing dynamics of the British-American alliance, with Mark highlighting that the decline in their relative military and economic power began during World War II. They also discuss how the special relationship has evolved over time, with Mark referencing his book "The Edge" from 2015, which warned about the increasing defence spending by China and Russia and the need for European self-reliance. They agree that the current situation with Donald Trump's administration represents a significant inflection point in this long-term decline, though they acknowledge that the underlying changes have been gradual rather than sudden.Real all about it!Mark Urban was for many years a defence correspondent for BBC Newsnight and later its Diplomatic Editor. He has hosted the Crisis Room podcast @crisisroompod. He also writes for tHE Sunday Times. He's also a historian and author with books including Big Boys Rules, Rifles, TF Black, Tank War, Skripal Files, Red Devils.Mark's latest book Tank is out as a paperback later this year.

don't despair Sunday, February 1, 2026 Carmen Barsody, Sam Dennison and Mari Magaloni Ramos, preaching If these times call for resilience (and they do), we best not despair, for despair dissipates and distracts.

In 2008, a corrections officer working the overnight shift at a county jail in Arkansas was assigned to a housing unit that had been closed for nearly a week. No inmates were housed there, and access was tightly controlled. Late into the night, with most of the pod in darkness, she sat at her workstation facing a room lined with reflective security glass.That's when movement caught her eye.In the reflection, a figure appeared to be walking along the second-floor tier of the closed unit. The location made no sense—there was no way for anyone to enter without passing directly by her post. When she rushed to the window to look into the housing area itself, there was nothing there.Trustees nearby admitted they had seen the same thing—but had been waiting for her to acknowledge it first. In a place where every movement matters, the absence of explanation was more unsettling than the sight itself.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #HauntedJail #CorrectionsOfficer #NightShiftStories #UnexplainedEncounter #ShadowFigure #HauntedWorkplace #TrueParanormalLove real ghost stories?
