"Today we are telling a story of siblings born and bred to run the world. They were the most infamous family of the 20th century. Their story drips with controversy, their names whispered through the decades since they left their voices echoing in time & space. Their hands helped mold the America we know, sharing with their country dreams of landing on the moon, freedom for everyman, and by example they inspired generations to reach the highest heights. They played with fire, and only a few survived. Their words ring through our history books, their pretty faces on our television screens, and their signature will forever be stamped on our national identity. They stood in the trenches, we stood beside them, they flashed their diamonds, we flashed our cameras, they had their fun, and we saluted them. They were good; they were evil; they were human. They are... The Kennedys." This is the true story of the infamous American royal family… the Kennedy family. Joe, Rose, Joe Jr., John or Jack or JFK if you will, Rosemary, Kathleen (Kick), Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Patricia (Pat) Kennedy Lawford, Robert or Bobby or RFK if you will, Jean, and Edward, or Ted (Teddy)… we’ve read all the biographies, watched all the documentaries... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details. We start with the genealogy of their Irish Catholic ancestors, heritage & Boston upbringing.

On December 2nd, 1936 John Ringling died. He had $311 in the bank. His estate was officially appraised at $23,500,000. Today, that would be almost half a billion dollars.

Members of the Ringling family controlled the circus until 1967 when they sold it to the Feld family, who kept the name. In 2017 The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus closed out its last tour and walked off the lot for the last time ever. This is the true story of Al Ringling (originally Rüngling) and his brothers: Gus, Otto, Alf T.,  Charles, John, Henry, and their sister, Ida. We read their biography... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.

The Greatest Show on Earth -- a slogan adopted in 1919 when The Ringling Brothers Circus combined with the Barnum & Bailey Circus to begin the last ever chapter of the historic American Circus. In a time before YouTube, or television the circus was a seriously big deal.  And as long as we have known the circus , it’s always been a family affair. The first place the world ever saw such a show, such an idea, was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Single unit European families began putting on small road shows and traveling from town to town with their unique skills. Tightrope performers, equestrians, acrobats… They lived and worked as a family. And though the Ringling Brothers came along more than a century later, they were no different. They just scaled it up a bit. Hired a few non-blood relative assets. But in the beginning it was truly nothing but a family affair. Just 5 brothers and a crazy dream. This is the true story of Al Ringling (originally Rüngling) and his brothers: Gus, Otto, Alf T.,  Charles, John, Henry, and their sister, Ida. We read their biography... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.

Today we’re taking a visit to the cemetery… to remember a part of American history, whose grave is still warm to the touch. As a child I attended a show myself alongside my sisters, but our kids will only hear tales and myths of the animals, the ringleaders, the tents…  You may mourn their passing, or you may disagree with the ethics of the entire idea and be glad this chapter has come to a close... This sibling set founded the longest reigning circus dynasty America ever will ever see. They are… The Ringling Brothers. This is the true story of Al Ringling (originally Rüngling) and his brothers: Gus, Otto, Alf T.,  Charles, John, Henry, and their sister, Ida.

They were alike in a lot of ways -- Both loved the arts, and they were both guilty of spending actual fortunes on the contents of their closets… Both loved everything European. But their favorite place was Lasata, East Hampton New York, where their father encouraged the genius and beauty in everything they did. 

But they were different people at their core. One loved to sink into the back of the classroom with her nose in a book; one wanted everyone to know her. One was a flirt; one was more about practicality. One always struggled to find funds; one attracted money like it grew on trees. One submitted herself to the traditions she grew up in, and made the most of the roles of her time -- she took all she could; the other rebelled against the boundaries forced on her, sacrificing comforts, security, and praise. One wrestled with her identity for her entire life, trying to find a way to shine on her own stage; one fought overwhelming publicity and clung to the little privacy she was allowed. 2 sisters. Money, husbands, camera flashes, couture sunglasses, and too much tragedy for one lifetime. This is the true story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis & Princess Lee Radziwill… we’ve read all the biographies, watched all the documentaries... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.

Today we’re talking about sister duo literally born and bred for the world stage. They were 2 of the most glamorous women of the 20th century. One changed the white house forever, and set a new template for what a First Lady of the United States could be, and would be. The other would wander for a lifetime, trying to find her own limelight and step out of the shadows of her sister. Their lifelong quest?? Money, Power, and Glory. And they found it. But it never quite satisfied the hunger they both carried. They will forever be remembered, but they lost each other along the way. They are… Jackie O aka Jackie Kennedy, and Princess Lee Radziwill. The Bouvier sisters.

This is the true story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis & Princess Lee Radziwill… we’ve read all the biographies, watched all the documentaries... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.

By the time he died, Walt Disney and his Imagineers had mastered the art of magic using every communication medium known to man. In 1966, Walt Disney Productions estimated that around the world 240 million people saw a Disney movie, and almost 7 million made the trek to a place that felt more like a dream than reality, a place pulled right out of Walt’s imagination… Disneyland. It was here that Walt spent most of his time in the last decade of his life. It was here that he really lived. A Kingdom of magic, and just a little pixie dust. The Happiest Place on Earth. But behind it all, from the beginning until the end, there were just 2 brothers and a mouse. This has been the story of The Disney Company through the lens of Walt Disney’s biography & life story.  Shop NEW Blood and Business Merch! 🎙🕶🎥✨ https://blood-and-business.creator-spring.com

When we left Roy & Walt at the end of the first episode of their story, they were barely able to afford food, and Walt had just left Kansas City to meet up with his big brother in LA. They are going to found the first cartoon studio in Hollywood. They don't have a plan, they don't know if they'll be able to survive as entrepreneurs, but they have each other. Betrayal, mental breakdowns, marriage... and the birth of a certain mouse named Mickey. The biography of the legend that is… Disney. Let's get into it.
