Description
The Opportunist tells true stories of regular people who turn sinister by embracing opportunity. How does an everyday person turn into a thief, a scammer or a cult leader? Perhaps the most dangerous person is the one who appears the most normal. Perhaps there is a dark potential lurking inside all of us that is just waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. The Opportunist is an original podcast hosted by Sarah James McLaughlin.

this episode cuts off in the middle of a sentence
what an anticlimatic finale. painful to listen to the entire series. i skipped a number of episodes as there was noting new, just more of the same. as mentioned previously, this could have been made in 2 episodes.
Haha, Democrats are also huge conspiracy theorists. Good show, too bad your TDS is showing.
It is more likely than not he was excommunicated, given the nature and number of accusations. If he was baptized into another religion, that's automatic excommunication. If he's convicted criminally, that's also automatic excommunication. And the last time the Mormon church publicly repudiated someone so openly was July of 1842, so that was, indeed, almost unprecedented.
speak, repeat. how many times can you say the same thing over and over each episode. i would guess you could condense this multi part into two episodes MAXIMUM.
lomg and dragged out episodes repeating the same meaning with different words. it used to be good with the old narrator.
"You have to have a man's financial mind" wtf is he talking about??
Been waiting for the return of the original host, Hannah Smith, under the assumption she was just on vacation, only to learn today that she left the show circa February 2024 and is not returning. The new host and changes to the show aren't bad, they're just not what I subscribed to years ago. The Opportunist was Hannah, they were indistinguishable or inseparable from one another, and the show without her is not the show at all.
What on earth has happened to this podcast? It used to involve grown up, in depth, broadsheet quality investigations into people who took advantage of opportunities that came their way, hence the name. Suddenly it's become a series of superficial, juvenile, tabloid stories about crooks, just like almost every other true crime podcast out there. The writing is semi literate, the presenters talk as if to infants, everything that made it stand out has been stripped away. I'm done with it.
I had to Google this show and its narrator as soon as I listened to this episode. Not to say SJM isn't good, but the original narrator, Hannah, made this show. I was able to tell the difference when sponsor messages started/ended when she did them, there were a lot more "meat" & details. The stories were way easier to follow and had flow. I had a "wtf did I just listen to?" moment after this episode, especially since I knew what to expect--and loved this podcast.
Where is the opportunism in this story? This podcast has forgotten what it is supposed to be about.
where is hannah smith. narration boring and this story was not interesting.

oh, how convenient. Sovereign citizens don't adhere to US law but they can use it at will--call the cops and bring cases against innocent people willy billy and will call 911 and allow municipal police to show up on her behalf. What a manipulative sick asshole. Reaping all the good benefits of being a citizen when it suits her and not having the consequences effect her. I don't particularly like the government, either, but I'm not stupid enough to be a hypocrite. Dont like it? Easy, leave!

Ugh! Naturally those guys never considered the moral or ethical implications of what it meant to scrounge through a plane wreckage for weed, AND think that this highly illegal thing was "fun" because they were white crunchy guys in the 70's. They consider themselves untouchable. These guys are the same climbers who still continue to gatekeep the climbing community because they miss the "good old days" when they didn't have to share the sport with anyone else and want to keep it that way.
Wow, heartbreaking series. I hope social media puts this industry out of business.
Great show in many levels! Iβm listening all shocked and amazed!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of "The Opportunist." The host's storytelling skills are truly remarkable, and the way they delved into the life of the opportunist in question was both captivating and insightful. The narrative painted a vivid picture of how opportunism can lead individuals down a complex and often morally ambiguous path. https://www.fixerhub.com/england/london/professional-service/kraft-paper-printer The interview with the subject's close friend added a personal touch that made the story even more engaging. The exploration of the psychological aspects of opportunism was particularly intriguing, shedding light on the motives and justifications behind the opportunistic behavior. I appreciate how the podcast not only sheds light on the dark side of opportunism but also encourages listeners to reflect on their own actions and choices. Overall, a thought-provoking and well-executed episode. https://www.biztobiz.org/london-uk/business-services/kraft-paper-printer
