Jordana H. Goldlist spent her teens as a homeless, high school dropout; a junkie fully entrenched in street life by 17 years old. Today, she runs a boutique criminal law firm, owns property, invests in the market, and travels the world. She built the life she has today by recognizing and using skills she developed during the most trying times of her life, and she believes that some of the most successful people are those that find their strength through struggle and adversity. In “Who Judges The Judge?”, named after her TEDx Talk, Jordana invites listeners to explore the untold stories and unexpected backgrounds of her guests, all successful and productive individuals who have overcome adversity and the stigmas that society attaches to those of us who side step the status quo. From reformed criminals to the falsely accused, from former addicts to refugees escaping war and poverty, each episode will feature an individual who defies stereotypes and expectations and will navigate difficult conversations to highlight the personal journey of each guest.
Jordana’s unique perspective, grounded in her own tumultuous past but developed over a 15 year career in criminal justice, adds authenticity and depth to the conversation.

Trials, Truth & the Justice System’s Flaws – Criminal Defense & Gun Laws with Ryan Handlarski
In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan Handlarski, a seasoned criminal defense lawyer who isn’t afraid to take on the toughest cases. We dive deep into his experiences in the courtroom, the flaws within our justice system, and the ethical dilemmas that keep defense lawyers up at night.
From defending clients charged with murder and drug trafficking to launching his Acquittal Suits Initiative—Ryan brings a unique and thought-provoking perspective to our conversation.
🔹 How does the criminal justice system set people up for failure—and what needs to change?
🔹 Why do some clients win cases they shouldn’t, while others lose despite overwhelming reasonable doubt?
🔹 What’s the real story behind Canada’s firearm laws, and how are legal gun owners being unfairly targeted?
