   Barry Bekkedam Sets the Record Straight, White Collar Week with Jeff Grant, Ep. 30

   Today on the podcast we have Barry Bekkedam. This is Barry’s first interview since returning from Federal prison last year. What I like most about Barry was his openness and candor as he painstakingly takes us through his remarkable story from immigrant, to starter on the Villanova basketball team (he’s 6’10” tall!), to real estate investor, to multi-billion dollar Main Line investment manager – and then to his problems when some of his clients lost money in the Rothstein Ponzi scheme and then as former Chairman of a bank accused of TARP fraud. Barry took his case to trial and was partially vindicated, but ultimately was sentenced to serve 11 months in a Federal prison camp. Barry’s is an incredible story of resilience through over a decade of issues So, coming up, Barry Bekkedam sets the record straight. On White Collar Week. I hope you will join us.  – Jeff

   David Israel & Spencer Oberg, The Entrepreneurs, Ep. 29 White Collar Week with Jeff Grant

   Today on the podcast we have David Israel and Spencer Oberg, two successful entrepreneurs who both served time in prison. You might know them by their international vegan cheese company, Good Planet Foods, or by their justice-centric media company, Unincarcerated. In this episode we certainly go into David and Spence's incredible backstories. But more, we leqarn the nuts and bolts of how to be entrepreneurial and succeed after prison, the hard work it takes, how to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, and how to get past your shame to find your passion and authenticity. So, coming up, The Entrepreneurs. David Israel and Spencer Oberg. On White Collar Week.
