Podcast appearances and mentions of Clinton Sparks

In today's episode, I'm joined by James Maslow and Clinton Sparks to explore the essence of long-term success. Clinton shares the fascinating story of producing Lady Gaga's “Bloody Mary” and how it took over a decade to achieve its global success, amassing nearly 500 million streams. We discuss the patience, perseverance, and belief required to stay committed to a vision—even when immediate results aren't evident. James reflects on how persistence and adaptability shape his career as an actor, musician, and producer. Together, we unpack what it means to build a strong foundation within yourself to fuel your journey and inspire others along the way.

In the early hours of June 30, 1987, Boise resident Clinton Sparks was awoken by someone pounding frantically on his storm door. A moment later, Sparks heard a loud scream in the distance, and he went inside to call 911.Although he didn't know it at the time, what Clinton Sparks heard was the last desperate cry of twenty-one-year-old Preston Murr, Two of Murr's associates, Daniel Rodgers and Daron Cox, were arrested and tried and convicted for the murder.The trial and conviction should have been where the story ended, but for the house on Linden Street where the murder occurred, it was only the beginning. Since Murr's tragic death more than thirty-five years ago, the house has become a source of local legends, with claims ranging from the appearance of ghostly apparitions to blood inexplicably dripping down the walls. As a result, Boise's “Murder Mansion” has become known as one of the most haunted houses in America.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!!ReferencesEnsunsa, David. 1987.

A good interview is when you get to know your guest along with your audience. Most people want you to change because they don't have the ability to change. Trust, value, and credibility. Everyone has a super power, but people are too focused on other peoples' that they neglect their own. Most that have overnight success, won't last ten years. You don't know how to connect or relate to people that aren't you. You can't stand for culture if you've never stood in culture. Pay attention to the messenger, not the message. You need to treat your life the same way you treat your business. None of the stuff in your life will be dope if you're not dope. To enter this circle, you must first show respect for yourself.   Follow Clinton @ClintonSparks  Learn more about him at https://Clintonsparks.com Watch the full video episode on Brad's Rumble here: https://rumble.com/c/c-2544182  Watch the full video episode on Brad's Youtube Here: https://bradlea.tv
