Steve Fusco grew up in Connecticut, raised by a single mom and a solid support system—but teenage trouble sent him to military school. In college, experimentation turned into using and selling drugs, a slide into addiction, and multiple arrests. After failing to get clean, Steve was sentenced to 2 years in Connecticut state prison—the wake-up call that changed everything. Inside, he rebuilt from the ground up. Today he's sober, a successful business owner, and on a mission to show what redemption really looks like. #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #SecondChances #TrueCrime #EntrepreneurLife #connecticut Connect with Steve Fusco: http://Rejoicerestore.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Guest Background 02:10 Childhood, Family, and Early Influences 05:52 School Years and Beginning of Trouble 09:08 Military School and College Aspirations 13:13 College Years and Exposure to Drugs 18:14 Path to Addiction & Early Drug Dealing 24:02 Addiction, Career Attempts & Downward Spiral 30:37 Peak Drug Dealing & Double Life 37:15 Cycles of Recovery, Addiction, and Jail 42:08 Rock Bottom: Prison and the Wake-Up Call 46:44 Life Inside Prison and Rebuilding 51:20 Programs, Hope, and New Mindsets 01:00:46 Reentry: Starting Over and Business Journey 01:07:02 Finding Purpose: Relationships and Faith 01:10:53 Servant Leadership & Uplifting Others 01:13:03 Advice, Reflection & Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

When you really break it down, the whole history of the NBA is still a relatively short amount of time. At 79 years old, there are still many people around who have a living memory of the first NBA season.The league celebrated 50 years in 1996, with a special reveal of the top 50 players of all-time up to that point, as voted on by media, former player, general managers, and other notable figures.For the first 50 years of the league, there were several individuals who were obvious locks to make the top-50. Michael, Kareem, Larry, Dr. J and many others easily made the list... but what if we told you that a 9-time All-Star, who at the time sat on 8th on the NBA's all time scoring list did not make the top 50?In today's episode, we take the NBA time machine back to the 80s and 90s, and explore the life and times of one of basketball's most underrated players of all time, the one and only Dominique Wilkins.00:00 Introduction03:43 Early Life, College Years and the Draft13:41 Superstar Rising - 1982-9024:50 Achilles Tear and The Trade35:40 The Twilight Years - Gone Overseas?45:10 The Legacy of Mr. 51st
What happens after GCSEs, and how well does England's education system support young people as they move into adulthood?The government's Opportunity Mission sets out to “build skills for opportunity and growth,” aiming to give every young person a pathway that's right for them. In practice, that means navigating a system divided between academic routes, like A levels and university, and technical or vocational routes, often delivered through further education colleges.In this episode of IFS Zooms In, Helen Miller is joined by Christine Farquharson (Associate Director, IFS) and Sir Philip Augar (Chair of the government's 2019 review of post-18 education and funding) to explore the strengths and challenges of post-16 education in England. They discuss GCSE attainment, the divide between higher and further education, funding pressures, and what a skills system fit for the future might look like.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's podcast is with an elite performer on and off the field who has gone from protecting quarterbacks to protecting families' wealth.We sit down with former NFL and USC star Winston Justice, whose entrepreneurial spirit that was stoked while he was still playing in the NFL has led to a successful and impactful career in wealth management. He was recently named CEO at SageSpring Private Wealth, a $7B independent wealth management firm, as they look to grow organically and inorganically and expand their offerings in private markets for their clients.A former NFL offensive lineman, Winston played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos from 2006 to 2015. He also co-founded an early stage investment vehicle, MJC Capital, and Elixr, a gourmet café and coffee roastery, while he was playing. He also won 2010 Walter Payton Philadelphia Man of the Year Award for his community service.He transitioned into financial services and wealth management post-career, starting at Wells Fargo Securities, where he specialized in institutional and family office advisory. He then was a portfolio manager at PIA's Alternative Investment Group, and then an investment Manager at AllianceBernstein.Winston and I had a fascinating conversation. We discussed:The parallels between sports and finance.How Winston navigated the transition from professional athlete to a finance professional.What stoked his entrepreneurial spirit.Why wealth management is so critical to people's lives. Why culture fit is so important when integrating advisors into wealth management platforms through acquisition.How private markets can add to an advisor's practice.Thanks Winston for coming on the show to share your story, wisdom, and expertise.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Juniper SquareWhen was the last time things were easy for GPs?Fundraising remains challenging, providing liquidity to investors is even harder—and broadly speaking, most GPs are underwater operationally.It's not about to get easier, either.

Lisa Harding and I go way back, right back to Trinity College Dublin in the early 90s where we both did our degrees and became very involved in acting. We both went on to pursue acting careers, however neither of us decided to stay on that path but we ended up succeeding in different, yet still related careers. In Lisa's case, that career was writing fiction, something that she has excelled at from day one. Her latest novel is called The Wildelings and it is set back in those crazy college days in the early 90s in Dublin and because I was there at the time myself, I was dying to get stuck in to this book and have a chat with Lisa about it here on the Mario Rosenstock podcast. We chat about how people from unconventional, even dysfunctional backgrounds tend to find each other college and band together. Lisa also tells me about falling in love with acting – and falling out of love with it again; why writing is a lot like acting, the craziness of creative people not being able to get mortgages to buy a home, and lots more. COMEDY - We have managed to get exclusive access to the voicemail box of the Eurovision song contest headquarters. Their phones have been hopping since Ireland's entry failed to make it through to the final. Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

My guest today is Matt Huang, co-founder of Paradigm, a leading crypto investment firm with over $12 billion in assets under management. Before launching Paradigm in 2018 with Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Matt was a partner at Sequoia Capital, where he led many of the firm's crypto investments. It's widely reported that Michael Moritz called Matt “the only regrettable loss in Sequoia's history.” In our conversation, Matt shares his framework for navigating the often illegible frontier of crypto, how his early investment in ByteDance (now worth 10,000x his initial capital) shaped his approach to identifying exceptional founders, and why he believes so deeply in crypto's long-term potential. His firm, Paradigm, not only invests in many of the leading companies in the industry, it also builds open-source tools used by most of crypto. Matt has a rare blend of IQ and EQ that allows him to understand technical complexity, bring together unique talents, and ride out crypto's notorious volatility. Whether you're crypto-curious or crypto-skeptical, I think you'll find his perspective valuable. Please enjoy my great conversation with Matt Huang. Matt Huang's Profile in Colossus Review.

Today's episode is unlike any I've ever shared. It's a conversation with my late father, Alan Storey—recorded in 2018, but never meant for the public. After his passing in January 2025, I felt called to revisit this powerful archive of family history, healing, and redemption. While it wasn't originally intended for listeners, I've come to realize that this story holds universal themes worthy of sharing.This is more than a podcast—it's an offering from one generation to the next. We dive into stories from his childhood in a rough Colorado oil town, his battles with addiction, his unlikely healing journey, and the wisdom he earned along the way. This is a raw, emotional, and sometimes wild conversation—one that I hope brings comfort, healing, and inspiration to anyone navigating loss or seeking to better understand where they come from.This episode is ad-free and deeply personal.

Hey there! This week's conversation is one that got me thinking ahead—way ahead. While my oldest is still in middle school, college feels like it's going to be here before I know it. That's why I'm so grateful to have *Dr. Greg Jones*, president of Belmont University, on the podcast today to talk about helping our kids prepare for life beyond high school with purpose, faith, and community at the center. Here are four key takeaways from this episode:—Choosing a school isn't about prestige—it's about finding a place where your child can grow, thrive, and live out their calling. —Relationships formed during the college years play a vital role in shaping a student's identity and faith. —Not getting into a dream school isn't the end—it can be a redirection toward God's best. —Each child's path is unique, and our job is to guide them with patience, grace, and a big-picture mindset. Dr. Greg Jones is the president of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. With a background in theology, leadership, and education, Dr. Jones is passionate about helping students discover their God-given purpose and equipping families to think beyond rankings and toward flourishing futures. This episode is full of wisdom for parents at every stage. Whether college is around the corner or years away, I hope it encourages you to guide your kids with faith and intentionality.With love,Steph Thurling(02:56) The Role of Community in College Selection(06:04) Finding Purpose and Character Formation(08:45) Navigating College Decisions and Parental Guidance(11:58) The Importance of Relationships in College(14:46) Helping Kids Discover Their Purpose(18:08) Trends in College Students Today(20:51) Dealing with Rejection and Redirection(23:56) The Long View of Parenting(27:11) Final Thoughts on Faith, Hope, and LoveResources MentionedSubscribe to Christian ParentingEaster BundleAdventure BibleThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
