Ross Mandell was once a powerful Wall Street executive running Sky Capital — a brokerage firm prosecutors say defrauded investors of approximately $140 million. In 2011, a federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and conspiracy. In 2012, he was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison and permanently barred from the financial industry. Today, Mandell has resurfaced with a major social media following, positioning himself as a voice on discipline, masculinity, power, and reinvention. Rachel sits down with Mandell to unpack the rise, the fall, the sentence, and the very public comeback — and to ask the questions most interviews don’t. --- --- — VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!
