Jeremy Padawer, Chief Brand Officer at Jazwares (the company behind the AEW action figures), avid toy and card collector, and TIJ alum, returns under very different circumstances. Jeremy and his family lost everything in the devastating LA firestorm this past January. Their Pacific Palisades home, and nearly all of Jeremy’s multimillion-dollar collectibles collection, was destroyed – rare baseball cards, Pokémon cards, action figures, comics, and even a first-edition Harry Potter book.  Not even “fire proof safes” or a commercial bank vault could withstand the flames. Thankfully, Jeremy and his family made it out safely, and insurance covered most of the financial losses. And now Jeremy’s focused on something bigger – helping his Palisades neighbors and community rebuild. He talks about advocating for changes at the government level and fighting to ensure residents can keep their lots and actually rebuild their homes. He even launched a resource website to help – PacificPalisades.com. If you or someone you know has been impacted by the LA fires, this episode, and Jeremy’s mission, might offer some much-needed support and hope.
