How did the second incarnation of the clan, born in Georgia in 1915, grow into a seemingly indomitable nation-wide fraternal organisation, numbering millions? Who were its new targets? And, with the Klan’s momentum seemingly unstoppable and an election on the horizon, would their appalling violence be publicly condemned? Join Tom and Dominic as they chart the second rise of the violent, tyrannical, Ku Klux Klan…. _______ Advertise with us: Partnerships@goalhanger.com To read our new newsletter, sign up here: therestishistory.com/newsletters Join The Rest Is History Club: Unlock the full experience of the show – with exclusive bonus episodes, ad-free listening, early access to every series and live show tickets, a members-only newsletter, discounted books from the show, and access to our private Discord chatroom.

If one bad client, refund, or comment can ruin your day… You’re not ready for scale yet. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the importance of building emotional calluses—the ability to handle pressure, criticism, and client friction without losing focus or momentum. As your business grows, so does the volume of problems. More clients means more feedback, more complaints, and more situations that test your patience and emotional control. The key isn’t avoiding problems… It’s learning how to handle them without letting them control you. Paul explains how elite entrepreneurs detach emotion from outcomes, enforce strong boundaries, and operate from logic instead of reacting to every situation. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why friction with clients is normal and expected at scale How taking things personally can hurt your performance and decision-making Why enforcing boundaries protects your time, energy, and margins How developing emotional resilience helps you stay consistent under pressure You can’t control how people act… But you can control how you respond. Because when you build emotional strength and stay grounded, nothing in the market can shake your focus—and that’s what separates average entrepreneurs from elite operators.

Products can be copied. Service is much harder to steal. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why customer experience is one of the strongest moats a business can build. Let’s be real… A competitor can copy your offer. They can copy your pricing. They can copy your software. They can even copy your marketing. But they cannot easily copy the way your company makes clients feel. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why product features alone are not enough to protect your business How poor client experience destroys retention Why onboarding and fulfillment are where loyalty is built How elite service turns clients into referrals, defenders, and long-term believers The truth is simple: Your moat is not just what you sell. It is how you serve. If clients feel abandoned after they pay… They will leave the second another shiny offer appears. But if they feel supported… Heard… Protected… And genuinely taken care of… They will stay. They will refer. They will defend your brand. High-level operators do not just chase new leads. They pour into the clients they already have. They communicate fast. They solve problems quickly. They create trust through every interaction. Because elite fulfillment is the ultimate retention tool. Out care the competition. Serve at the highest level. Build the moat. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Historian Heather Cox Richardson joins Alex Wagner to discuss Trump's plans for America's semiquincentennial, put his fight on the White House lawn into historical context, and make sense of his mission to remake our nation's capital in his image. The two talk about what it means to be patriotic in this moment, the flaws in JD Vance's vision of blood and soil nationalism, and Heather's new series — 250 to 250 — where she's retelling the stories of "the people, places, and events that have helped to move us toward a more perfect Union."
