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!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Joining me today are Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau, the filmmakers behind the critically acclaimed Netflix documentary Immigration Nation. As award-winning directors, cinematographers, and journalists, their work has shed light on some of the most pressing social issues of our time. Immigration Nation is a six-part docuseries that offers an unprecedented look inside the U.S. immigration system, featuring raw, unfiltered access to ICE operations, immigrant families, and the complexities of enforcement policies. Their ability to capture both the humanity and the harsh realities of immigration enforcement made the series one of the most talked-about documentaries of 2020.In our conversation, Shaul and Christina discuss what they witnessed while making Immigration Nation and how the landscape of immigration has evolved—especially now, with Donald Trump back in office.

In this episode, Rachel shares her personal experience traveling to Panama for five days of stem cell treatment, then sits down with Dr. Briggs, founder and CEO of Auragens, to explain what stem cells actually are, why the most effective treatments are not available in the United States, and how regulations, sourcing, and science differ dramatically from what’s commonly advertised.

When I started reading Leland Vittert's book Born Lucky, I wasn't expecting to cry. I don't know anyone with autism, and honestly, I didn't think it would resonate with me. But within pages, I was in tears—because his story of feeling different, misunderstood, and alone is something I've carried my whole life. Leland was born with the umbilical cord around his neck, diagnosed autistic at 8, and told by doctors there was "not much you could do." His father quit his job and did something radical: no medications, no accommodations, no labels—just thousands of hours coaching his son through hell. Teachers mocked him in class, kids bullied him relentlessly, and his kindergartner sister held his hand while he cried walking home every day. What Leland didn't know until writing this book was that his father went downstairs alone every night and cried until 2am.In 2020, Leland lost everything in three months. Fox News fired him after he questioned Trump's stolen election claims (Lachlan Murdoch literally sent an email saying "Leland's done"), he ended an 8-year relationship, and he nearly died from COVID. His father told him the same thing he'd said in 8th grade: "You can do this." The lesson Leland learned as a bullied kid became his survival guide as an adult—you get out of hell by keep walking. He joined NewsNation and met his wife on a blind date his second day of work. His father almost refused to publish the book because it was "too raw," but wrote the afterword in one hour. When Leland read it, he sobbed.What nobody knows about Leland is that he's still autistic. Communication doesn't come naturally—it's a skill his father taught him through years of practice. When his NewsNation talent coach asked why emotional connection was so hard, he finally told her: "I'm autistic." She had no idea. We also talk about the accommodation crisis destroying kids today—40% of Stanford students now claim disabilities, and we're medicating 3-year-olds into dependency. This isn't a story about curing autism. It's about a father who chose to walk through hell with his son instead of taking the pain away. And it's proof that love, not accommodations, changes lives.--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

If you think this episode is just about diamonds, think again. In this in-person conversation, Moshe—known to millions as Watch King NYC—joins me to break down one of the most misunderstood debates in luxury today: lab-grown versus natural diamonds, what actually holds value, and what buyers should really be paying attention to.But behind the expertise is a story most people don’t know. Moshe opens up about his life before the watches and the following—growing up in a deeply religious Jewish household, becoming a rabbi, and later losing everything through addiction and financial collapse. At one point, he was homeless. What followed was a complete reinvention and the creation of the empire people now see online.We talk candidly about luxury as an investment, the psychology of status, and how misinformation—especially around diamonds—can cost people far more than money. This conversation blends hard-earned personal experience with real-world expertise, offering both clarity and perspective for anyone thinking about buying a watch, a diamond, or redefining success altogether.In this episode, we discuss:  •  Lab-grown vs. natural diamonds: what actually matters when buying  •  Common misconceptions about diamond value and resale  •  Whether luxury watches are truly an investment  •  Moshe’s journey from rabbi to rock bottom to rebuilding an empire  •  What people misunderstand about wealth, status, and reinventionGuest:Moshe, aka Watch King NYCInstagram: @watchkingnycIf you’re considering an engagement ring, a luxury purchase, or simply questioning what real value looks like, this episode delivers insight you won’t get from a showroom—or an Instagram feed.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel, we sit down with one of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet — Peter Mutabazi, a man who went from surviving the streets of Uganda to becoming one of America’s leading voices in foster care and adoption.Abandoned as a child and left to fend for himself, Peter’s life could have ended before it began.

Pamela Jones was born into a polygamous Mormon cult in Mexico — a closed system built on obedience, fear, and silence. Married at just fifteen years old and raising nine children inside a world that offered women no education, no independence, and no exit plan, Pamela spent years believing escape was impossible.At thirty-four, she proved herself wrong.With two cars, two tanks of gas, and no safety net, Pamela fled across the Mexican border with her children and started over in Minnesota with less than a fifth-grade education and no resources. What followed is a story of resilience few people can imagine — and even fewer achieve.Today, Pamela is the founder of a multimillion-dollar company. She’s a mother of nine, a grandmother to thirty-one, and a living example of what’s possible after control, trauma, and poverty.This episode is about breaking cycles, reclaiming power, and understanding that freedom isn’t given — it’s taken.In this episode, we discuss:    •    What life inside a polygamous cult actually looked like    •    Why fear was used as a tool of control    •    Being married at fifteen and raising nine children without autonomy    •    What finally gave Pamela the courage to escape    •    Starting over with nothing — financially, emotionally, and practically    •    Building a multimillion-dollar business without formal education    •    Motherhood, legacy, and breaking generational cycles    •    What freedom really means after a lifetime without it🎧 Listen now for a story of survival, strength, and the power of choosing yourself — even when the cost feels unbearable.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
