Summary

How to Destroy Everything is the true story of Richard Jacobs – a narcissist who destroyed a childhood, a marriage, a family, and a community. He sued every sentient being on the face of the earth, got banned from restaurants, and inspired a support group composed solely of people he traumatized. He stole notary stamps, hacked emails, forged signatures… and won a U.S. Supreme Court case. He was also my dad. Each week, Danny and Darren will shift between past and present to explore the lasting impact of Richard Jacobs. New episodes available weekly on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
