Hospice for Profit: Seth Gillman’s End-of-Life Scam is an investigative examination of how a for-profit hospice operation allegedly exploited Medicare’s end-of-life benefit by enrolling patients who were not terminally ill. Through regulatory scrutiny, internal accounts, and systemic analysis, the story traces how financial incentives, weak oversight, and pressure for growth turned hospice care from a safeguard for the dying into a lucrative numbers game. The series focuses on allegations surrounding businessman Seth Gillman, while placing the case within a broader national crisis affecting trust, ethics, and vulnerability at the end of life.

Joe and Ryan host The Skillful Art Of Manipulation | Mastering Psychology & Influence, a series that lives in the intriguing space where true crime narratives meet the subtle mechanics of human behavior. Rather than just recounting stories, they pull them apart to examine the underlying tactics of persuasion and control that shape events. You’ll hear discussions that range from infamous cases to fictional thrillers, all through the lens of how influence operates in our society. This podcast digs into the methods of emotional coercion and deception, whether they appear in a high-stakes business deal, a political campaign, or a personal relationship. Each conversation aims to unpack the psychological frameworks behind these maneuvers, providing a clearer understanding of how they work in the modern world. The tone is analytical yet engaging, designed for anyone curious about the forces that guide decisions and actions, often without our conscious awareness. By blending categories like society, culture, and true crime, Joe and Ryan create a unique audio experience that is as thought-provoking as it is compelling. Tune in for a deep dive into the art and science of influence, where every episode offers a new perspective on the unseen games being played around us.
