From the Palace of Monaco to the Beatles’ front door—Amy Kanter has seen it all. 🌟

Since we were four years old, Amy and I have navigated a world that looked like a fairytale from the outside but was a complex reality to live through. In this episode, we discuss her memories of her godmother, Princess Grace, the time she "broke in" to The Beatles' house, and what it was really like growing up in the heart of the world created by my father, Jack Ryan.

College student Roger Leone shares never-before-told stories from his extraordinary job at Jack Ryan's Dreamhouse estate in 1969. From driving a Shelby Mustang to attending celebrity parties, Roger reveals Jack Ryan's generosity and the magical world he created—stories that bring the legendary inventor to life in unforgettable ways.

In this special episode of Dream House: The Real Story of Jack Ryan, I’m sharing a live conversation recorded at Bradley Justice Yarbrough’s 2025 Swell World event. We talked about what it was like growing up in my father’s incredible Bel Air Castle, receiving the first Barbie doll, the family behind the story, and the legacy of Barbie’s true origins.

It was one of the most personal and meaningful interviews I’ve done, and I’m excited to share it with all of you.

In this captivating episode, Ann Ryan sits down with fashion historian and Barbie expert Bradley Justice Yarbrough to delve into the intricate world of Barbie's design and cultural impact. Bradley shares his unique insights into the fashion elements that have defined Barbie over the decades and discusses the influence of Jack Ryan's visionary designs.
