Nancy Salzman, former president and co-founder of Executive Success Programs (ESP), returns for the second part of her first-ever post-prison interview. After co-founding ESP with Keith Raniere in 1998, the company grew into the larger umbrella organization NXIVM—originally promoted as an elite personal development and leadership training community. In this second part of her conversation with Kate, Nancy speaks openly about the unraveling of NXIVM, the legal fallout that followed, and the personal reckoning she faced as she prepared to plead guilty. She discusses the complex blend of loyalty, denial, and awakening that preceded her arrest; her experience inside federal prison; and the emotional and psychological work required to confront her own responsibility.

Ep. - 1459 - NANCY SALZMAN: PART ONE
Nancy Salzman, former president of Executive Success Programs (ESP)—a company offering personal and professional development programs designed to help people discover, develop, and utilize more of their untapped potential—joins Kate for the first of a two-part conversation. In 1998, she and Keith Raniere co-founded ESP, which Raniere later expanded into the broader umbrella organization NXIVM. He presented NXIVM as an elite self-improvement and leadership training company, but it ultimately became a vehicle for manipulation, coercive control, and the secretive subgroup DOS that led to his federal conviction. Nancy was sentenced in 2021 to 42 months in federal prison for racketeering-related charges connected to her role in the organization. In this first part, she discusses how she met Raniere, the creation and rapid growth of ESP, and what was really happening behind the scenes as the organization evolved.
