Irwin Michnick, the Brooklyn-born son of a Jewish furrier from Ukraine, was a jazz musician who wrote radio commercials and advertising jingles for companies like L & M cigarettes and Ken-L Ration dog food.Bob Levenson was a copywriter at Doyle Dane Bernbach who needed a tune to go with the words, “Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.” Irwin Michnick got the call.But it was a different call that led to Irwin Michnik winning a Tony Award and the Contemporary Classics Award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Placido Domingo, and more than 70 other superstars of music have recorded the song that Michnik wrote.Josh Groban included it on his 2020 album, Harmony.Aretha Franklin sang it at the funeral of civil rights activist Rosa Parks.Senator Edward Kennedy asked that it be sung at his funeral, as well. And it was.The song teaches us that passion does not create commitment, but that commitment creates passion. It is a song that teaches us that we can achieve the miraculous only if we are willing to attempt the ridiculous.Do you remember the Ze Frank quote I shared with you last week? The one where Ze talks about how the hero throws himself into battle against impossible odds, fiercely pushing, shoulders back, despite the knowledge that he can't win, that he will die in the end?Irwin Michnik wrote the music and Joe Darion wrote the words. It is the theme song of Wizard Academy, that school for entrepreneurs and ad writers and educators and ministers and researchers and every other agent-of-change who has become infected with an impossible dream.Do you remember the song now? Of course you do. It starts like this, “To dream the impossible dream; to fight the unbeatable foe; to bear with unbearable sorrow; to run where the brave dare not go.”You probably don't remember Irwin Michnik because he was known professionally as Mitch. Mitch Leigh.I'll bet you can guess what Indy Beagle has for you in the rabbit hole.In other news about impossible dreams, last week I bought an extremely old copy of the book Miguel de Cervantes wrote that inspired the song by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion.Perhaps I'll tell you about it after the beginning of the year.Ciao for Niao,Roy H. WilliamsGood business ideas often die on the vine because of the cost and logistics of bringing those ideas into reality. Uzair Ahmed saw all these missed opportunities, so he figured figured out how to use technology and automation to make these good business ideas come alive. Uzair tested a high-tech, low-overhead system to launch a business that provides on-site car repairs. Guess what? It succeeded wildly. Now, Uzair tells roving reporter Rotbart, he can help other businesses cut their costs up to 60% by following his model. And this also reduces the number of hours a business owner has to spend at work. We've struck the match and lit the fuse. If you want to see the fireworks, hurry over to MondayMorningRadio.com

Robert H. “Bob” Frank teaches economics at Cornell and is the author of a dozen books, including the one that caught my eye for this week's topic: Luck and Success: Good Fortune and the Myth of Meritocracy.   Bob cares a great deal about recognizing luck's role in our success because doing so, he argues, would make us all more grateful, happy, and generous. He also cares because without the “lucky” proximity of an ambulance one cold November morning, he wouldn't have survived the heart attack that laid him out on the tennis court in Ithaca, NY a few years back.   But survive he did and he forged on to continue teaching and writing about  status, ambition, spending, social signaling, and the evolutionary traits that lead to such behavior. The Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor of Management Emeritus at Cornell's SC Johnson College of Business, Bob's other books include Luxury Fever: Money and Happiness in an Era of Excess, Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work, and Principles of Macroeconomics, the textbook he co-authoredwith former Federal Reserve Chair, Ben Bernanke.   Bob's writing has appeared in top publications and academic journals, including The Atlantic, Journal of Economics, Journal of Public Economics, American Economic Review, The American Prospect, and Chronicle of Higher Education. He is a regular contributor to the Economic View column in the New York Times. Bob received his undergraduate degree from Georgia Tech and his MA and Ph.D from UC Berkeley. He has taught economics at Cornell since 1972.    Follow Bob on Twitter  @econnaturalist   Click HERE to ✍️ RATE / REVIEW Crazy Money

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a game starring Marlow Briggs and a mask of death. It is difficult to summarize the self-awareness and joy that this game finds in it's niche of over-the-top action and absurdity. With it's God of War style mechanics, it's excellent tone and startling apt graphics, this may just be the most enjoyable (but lowest critic reviewed) game we've found on Garbage Game Night.

What would make a genteel, white Southern lady from Mississippi want to start a company to record black blues and golspel artists,...and in the early 1950s? Find out on this episode of "Blues You Should Know" with Bob Frank. Trumpet Records didn't last very long, but while it was going, it was the only record company headquartered in Mississippi, and recorded the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson, Elmore James, Jerry McCain, Big Boy Crudup and more.

We talk with Bob Frank, former board member and president of the  International Association Of Near-Death Studies(IANDS) about near-death experiencesIn this episode, we will discuss:How we can confirm a valid NDEWhy unpleasant NDEs are not reported as oftenHow long it takes for an NDE to be revealedPast lives, and why children from particular parts of the world can access these memories easier

Well hello everybody and welcome to “Blues You Should Know”. I’m Bob Frank and I’m the host and creator of the program. I’ve been a professional musician for the past 45 years or so; also a songwriter, a writer, an educator, a filmmaker and now a podcaster. I originally began doing these programs as a radio show within a radio show on my friend Marty “Madcat” Puljic’s blues radio program on WJCU-FM in Cleveland, OH. The idea, then and now, was to explore the artists and music one level or so deeper than the most popular performers most folks come to know and listen to when they first discover this wonderful music. So, we won’t be doing shows on BB King, or Stevie Ray, though they may come up in the course of a program. What you will hear are shows about some of the people who influenced THEM. In addition, there’ll be theme programs about people who contributed to the music behind the scenes; people like Lillian McMurray, the genteel southern lady who owned and operated Trumpet Records in Mississippi and recorded the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James. There’ll be a multi- part series on Cincinnati’s great eclectic record label King Records, with its colorfully irascible and cantankerous owner Syd Nathan. But most of all, you’re going to hear a lot of really great music along with some great stories to go along with it. Most of it will be blues, but you will hear some other things as well…when they fit the story. So I hope you’ll give these podcasts a listen. And if you enjoy the programs, I hope you’ll give us a like or few kind words in a review. I’m Bob Frank, and this is “Blues You Should Know”.

Our guests are longtime Phoenix political and legal reporter Steve Krafft and attorney and businessman Bob Frank.We consider several things that have loomed large in the news over the last few days: · Pandemic relief negotiations broke down in Washington and President Trump issued a series of executive orders most legal analysts see as of dubious legality. · Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his VP selection and the two appeared jointly. How did the rollout go? · President Trump explicitly stated that he wanted to undermine the efficacy of mail-in voting and his Postmaster General issued a series of dictums that had the effect of slowing down the mail. · President Trump also ordered the Census to complete its work by the end of September rather than the end of October. Census experts agreed that this would impair the accuracy of the Census. He also ordered that noncitizens not be counted (again of dubious legality and also unclear how it could be implemented given that the courts rejected his attempt to include a citizenship question on the Census) This week’s Think Tank takes on some of the most contentious issues of the last several days with two highly astute observers of the political scene See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

This week on How on Earth we start with an update on the corona virus, focusing on treatments and vaccines. At 12 minutes, we begin our interview with Bob Frank, author of Under the Influence, Putting Peer Pressure to Work. This book explains how we could redirect trillions of dollars annually in support of carbon-free energy sources, all without requiring painful sacrifices from anyone. Dr Frank has developed some novel strategies relying on peer pressure to get people to change their actions so as to reduce carbon emissions and climate change. He also details many prior and successful examples of this type of peer pressure. You can see more at the publisher's website.
