    Architectural historian Eleanor Das poured three years of her life into saving a historic block in Kolkata, a place teeming with generations of families and artisans. It was a battle for the soul of her city against a faceless corporation. But on a rainy Tuesday, she stood by and watched as the first bulldozer tore down her dream, turning a vibrant community into rubble. The defeat was crushing, leaving her questioning the very purpose of her work and her country's relentless push for a future that seemed to erase its past. Just when she felt completely lost, a chance conversation at a family wedding changed everything. A simple phrase from an elderly professor sparked a profound realization: you can demolish a building, but you can't bulldoze a memory. This newfound clarity set Eleanor on an entirely new path, one not of preserving stone and mortar, but of curating the irreplaceable human stories that live within them. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and the discovery that true preservation lies in giving a voice to the past, ensuring it echoes into the future.

    We all have a vision of what life is like for the ultra-rich, shaped by reality TV and tabloid headlines. But what if the wealthiest people you knew chose to live in near-total privacy? In this episode, Sarah talks to Arthur Finch, who has spent over a decade as the Estate Valet for the Athertons, a family whose name is whispered in finance circles but whose faces are unknown to the public. Arthur provides a rare look into a world of 'stealth wealth' where extravagance is considered poor taste and generosity is a private affair. But this isn't just a story about absurd requests and quiet luxury. Arthur shares a deeply personal journey of hitting his lowest point and how the family he worked for responded with an act of profound compassion that changed his life forever. From eight-hour drives for maple syrup to a life-altering conversation in a private library, this episode challenges our assumptions about wealth and explores the invisible threads of loyalty, kindness, and belonging that can form in the most unexpected of places.
