Who Judges The Judge? Hosted By Jordana H. Goldlist
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. Please join Jordana on “Who Judges The Judge?” a podcast that challenges both guests and listeners to question the way we judge ourselves, others, and the world at large.

How Jenn Harper Built an Indigenous Beauty Brand That Landed in Sephora
How to build a beauty brand from nothing, escape addiction, redefine clean cosmetics, and disrupt the industry with sustainability, purpose, and Indigenous leadership—this story has it all.
In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Harper, the founder of Cheekbone Beauty, an Indigenous-owned cosmetics brand now sold in Sephora stores across North America. Jenn shares how a dream two months into sobriety sparked a mission to create a brand rooted in cultural pride, environmental sustainability, and representation.
She opens up about her childhood in St. Catharines, discovering the legacy of residential schools in her family, battling alcoholism, and losing her brother to suicide. From working in seafood sales to launching a globally recognized beauty line with no chemistry degree or formal business education, Jenn takes us through the highs, lows, and grit it took to build something bigger than herself.
Today, she’s pioneering what she calls Indigenous Beauty—a movement that fuses ancestral wisdom with sustainability science, creates scholarship opportunities for Indigenous youth, and redefines what it means to lead with purpose.
