Around the dinner table in the early 2000s, David Katzman would quiz his kids about their dream startups. ModelFit employees told BI that Gelband used the Pelvicore Pro only with the permission of its creator, the physical therapist Christina Christie. Once, in October 2018, David Katzman met with Facebook's ad team to discuss SDC's before-and-after advertisements, which violated the tech company's policies. SDC employees worked on Pvolve marketing campaigns, and Pvolve employees took trips on David Katzman's jet. "He didn't come from anything, and he spent years and years building up the business," the person close to Pasterino told BI.

Stevens' product, he said, is only meant to stay on for one or two hours. Stevens said he then started to think Nogueira hadn't used his product at all, and got a spray tan instead. Stevens then messaged Nogueira saying he'd bought a huge amount of product. Stevens' video generated more than 18,000 comments with some criticizing Nogueira for failing to review Illusion Bronze.

Jean Lowell, 75, needed a more accessible house and her daughter needed an affordable one. After getting a grant and refinancing her home, she built a $130,000 backyard tiny home to live in. Her daughter moved into the main home and Lowell is able to age in place on her property in Vermont. The other purpose was to try to provide a place for my husband and I to live at our old age. I feel secure in my old age now in a way that I did not before.

Ben Alistor started selling tanning mitts on Amazon FBA as a side hustle with his partner. I started my business selling products on Amazon FBA, or Fulfillment by Amazon, where people can sell items on the platform, but where Amazon handles the shipping, in June 2018. I tested out a few different price pointsSelling on Amazon FBA is a fine balance between running out of stock and not selling enough products. But we kept ordering some products, such as some toys, for four years because they kept selling. I work around 50 hours a week in total, but I've now streamlined my Amazon business so I work around 10 hours a week on it.

I had two months, basically, to make sure I felt good enough about the way I look. If I’d thought my waist was too big, or that I was too wobbly, I wouldn’t have done it. Also, I went to the tanning booth and had a very light spray tan, something I’ve never done. All these people were prodding me and talking about “the girls.” I have never called my breasts “the girls” in my life. It doesn’t have as much to do with blatant sex as with a self-assurance that started when I was a child.

This piece has been adapted from "We Are Proud Boys: How a Right-Wing Street Gang Ushered in a New Era of American Extremism," by Andy Campbell. Indeed, leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys extremist groups face seditious conspiracy charges over what the Justice Department believes is an outsize role in the planning and execution of the insurrection. In an interview with me, one of the antifascists, a woman who supports medics in the field at demonstrations, recalled a harrowing scene in which a group of Proud Boys had her crew cornered and outnumbered, when one of them lunged at her:The Proud Boys started spraying something into the crowd. Those concerns are paramount for all antifascist activists, but especially among women fighting back against misogynist groups like the Proud Boys.
