YNA Mental Health

(YNA) Our mission for you're not alone is to help people who struggle with issues that we don't see, whether you deal with a mental health illness or know of an acquaintance who deals with different problems. Some are more challenging to talk about than others; however, bottling up these emotions doesn't lead to a happy life. This podcast aims to help anyone who feels alone and shed light on difficult topics that we don't speak about every day. You're Not Alone.

    It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
