"Schulmann’s rivals ran their dojos like regular businesses—a huge mistake, he says. In the martial-arts world, money flows from power, not the other way around." @gauveyherbert for @Esquire:

Former senseis and business partners accuse Schulmann of building his $35-million-a-year martial-arts empire with Mafia tactics. What, you expect him to apologize?

INT. NJ EXPO CENTER — DAY Grown men destroy each other on sparring mats. Me (trying to impress): I’ve been taking classes. When do you stop feeling the pain? Tiger (not impressed): You don’t. You just stop caring. Me: [gulp] My latest for @esquire

Well, after five years editing and writing features and politics stories for Esquire, I, indeed, received my delayed calendar invite. Yesterday, I along with a couple other Hearst employees, was laid off from a job I loved and was very good at.
Layoffs at Hearst today. Staff got an email saying those impacted would get an HR meeting invite by 9 am. But then President Debi Chirichella noted there’d been some technical difficulties…

For decades, the sport has been shaped in large part by one company — and one man.

Recommendation: "Ren Faire," the hilarious new HBO documentary from @gauveyherbert and @lanceopp. So many laugh-out-loud moments. Watch it!
hbomax.com
Watch Ren Faire (HBO) on HBO Max. Plans start at $9.99/month. When the aging king of America's largest renaissance festival declares his retirement, an epic power struggle ensues to claim his throne.

Why you need to drop everything and watch HBO's wild docuseries 'Ren Faire'

You might think you know what to expect from a doc about a Renaissance festival, but you're almost certainly wrong.

Richard Walter was hailed as a genius criminal profiler at murder trials, at forensic conferences, and on true-crime TV. In reality, he was a fraud.
