"9" in Chinese is the number for change. For the 9th episode, we have it in video! You can watch George and I chat on Spotify and YouTube or listen to the conversation wherever you listen to podcasts. “What’s the likelihood that you go back to prison?” George’s story is incredible- after 10 years of incarceration because he was outed by his own mother, George made a film now streaming on HBO and had his art displayed at the MoMA in New York.
Master of Light (2022)Morton is a classical painter who spent ten years in federal prison. In the documentary, he travels to his hometown to paint his family members.

From Finance to Fine Arts, Laura Grenning moved with confidence and shrewdness from one world to another. Hello and welcome to another episode of Winners Only Club. I’m your host LuLu Romano. Joining us today is a woman who believed in herself from the get-go and wasn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get there. From embarking on a trip to Asia at the age of 24 by calling the HR to reroute her itinerary, to vacationing in Italy with the sole purpose of scouting talents for her gallery (cough *Ben Fenske)*, Laura demonstrates through action her belief in taking risks and living her truth. Perhaps it's this leap-of-faith attitude that got her where she is today. In this episode, you hear her explain the definition of a "Winner" and the definition of a "Loser" through hilarious personal anecdotes and sharp remarks on the stock market. Now thinking about franchising galleries for single mothers, everyone welcome Laura Grenning.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Winners Only Club- the #1 podcast in the Hamptons and beyond. I’m your host LuLu and today we have the pleasure to chat with Henry Hildreth III.
About Henry: Have you ever wondered what is America’s oldest department store and what it’s like to run one? The family legacy of Henry Hildreth III dates back to 1635 when his family arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They were told by the King of England to raise kettle but the coastline was too rocky, so they eventually made their way to the Hamptons after Great South Bay and a stop in the Virginias. The store, eponymously named, Hildreth’s, started in 1842 selling things like buffalo ropes, whaling harpoons, buggy whips and things of that store. The conversation with "Humble" Henry disproves the “born with a silver spoon” stereotype. Boys and girls. Ladies and germs, please help me welcome Henry, or friends like to call him Hank. Everyone, welcome Henry.

If you’re listening to this podcast before December 11, 2021 10AM, you still can participate in the 18th Annual Polar Bear Plunge at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton.
About Mark Epley: Having served Southampton Village as the Mayor for 12 years, this Veteran (literally and metaphorically) is still all about giving back to the community. During his Mayor years: he added vibrance to the village by implementing cultural hubs like the Southampton Arts Center. Now the owner of Seafield Center for Addiction Treatment in Westhampton Beach- which is where we did this interview. Above all his accomplishments and achievements, what he’s most proud of and hold closest to his heart: his wife, 11 grandkids and 4 hardworking kids. Listen as Mark shares advice on being a parent, what it takes to be a winner and laugh along with us as we discover our mutual fondness for Saturday Night Live. Everyone, welcome Mark.
