The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show
Jeremy Ryan Slate
The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show is a bi-weekly investigation into how power really works—across history, empires, and the modern world.Each episode draws on two core lenses:Hidden forces behind history—royal murders, lost colonies, financial systems, modern elites, NGOs, propaganda, and the quiet mechanisms that shape events long before they reach the headlines.And the Roman pattern—the idea that today’s crises aren’t new. Currency collapse, political division, border chaos, military overreach—Rome faced them all first. The Roman Empire spent centuries making every mistake a civilization can make, and left behind a playbook we’re following again, page by page.Through expert conversations with historians, researchers, and serious thinkers—and deep dives into primary sources, documents, and records—this show connects ancient history to modern power with evidence, not opinion.You’ll learn to: • Recognize collapse signals before they’re obvious • Understand modern crises through ancient parallels • See how empires actually rise, decay, and fall • Spot the patterns shaping what comes nextFrom medieval conspiracies to modern cover-ups, from Augustus to Constantine, from ancient Rome to today’s global order—this is history as investigation.No spin. No narratives. Just receipts.New episodes twice a week.

210: How This Girl Boss Became an Entrepreneur Before 25, and How You Can Too | Chelann Gienger
Chelann Gienger is a young entrepreneur. How young? You’ll never know… She started her first business at the age of 15 and from that point on, she was hooked. The whole idea for EB25 sparked during the first couple months of her second business startup, NUYU Juice Bar. During that time, it dawned on Chelann that life is all about surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are running the same race you are. For her, that meant young entrepreneurs. But there was only one small issue… Hardly any young entrepreneurs were around her. And if that was the case for her, she figured it must be the case for other’s as well. What’s the most logical way to solve this problem? To create a platform that attracts young entrepreneurs, of course! So, here we are with EB25. EB25 interviews inspiring entrepreneurs who started their entrepreneurial journey at the age of 25 or under. Chelann follows them through their journey of being an entrepreneur~ the ups, the downs, the fun and the sad. Her hope is that their stories will inspire and empower you to live a life of freedom and balance while being a young entrepreneur.
