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 'Of The Saint' Turned Every Opportunity Into Hip-Hop Success
In this episode, I sit down with Elijah "Of The Saint" de los Santos, a young media entrepreneur who transformed himself from a kid in Toronto housing projects into one of hip-hop's most sought-after photographers and videographers. His client list includes Drake, Jesse Reyez, and countless other major artists.
Of The Saint opens up about growing up with a single mother and a father struggling with addiction, and avoiding the street life that claimed many of his childhood friends. He reveals how sports and his mother's entrepreneurial spirit shaped his hustle mentality from an early age.
From dropping out of college on a soccer scholarship to starting his production company with just a $200 camera, Of The Saint shares the exact strategies he used to turn every small opportunity into the next big break. He breaks down how he strategically networked at industry events, reached out to influencers for collaborations, and never took no for an answer.
We dive deep into his breakthrough moment when Drake shared his OVO Fest photo, catapulting him to viral fame and opening doors throughout the industry. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from Rolling Loud, collaborations with Billboard magazine, and what it's really like working with hip-hop's biggest names.
This is a masterclass in recognizing opportunities, strategic networking, and turning your passion into profit. Of The Saint reveals his step-by-step process for building industry connections, why your network truly is your net worth, and how to create opportunities where none exist.
