Jonathan Todd Schwartz once stood at the top of Hollywood’s financial world, managing the fortunes of global icons like Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Alanis Morissette, Linkin Park, Halsey, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Known as the “diva whisperer,” he was one of the industry’s most trusted advisors—until addiction, deception, and a multi-million–dollar embezzlement scandal sent his life crashing into the headlines.

In this powerful Conviction Fiction Podcast interview, Jonathan sits down with host Antoine Rivers to walk through the rise, the unraveling, and the long journey back to accountability. This episode explores the hidden pressures behind success, the psychology of addiction, and what happens when denial turns into devastation.

But it also asks a deeper question:
Can someone who caused this much harm truly change?

From prison to sobriety to rebuilding the trust of his family, Jonathan’s story isn’t about excuses—it’s about facing the truth head-on. Raw, honest, and layered, this episode pulls back the curtain on a modern cautionary tale with real-world consequences.

If you’re drawn to stories of transformation, redemption, and the uncomfortable intersection of power and self-destruction—this conversation is one you won’t forget.
