In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, Luis Guzman sits down with returning guest Mayor Raymond Giacobbe of Rahway, New Jersey for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, pressure, family, community, creativity, resilience, and building a city with purpose.Since his last appearance, Luis has watched Rahway continue to grow, and this conversation takes a look at what is happening behind that growth. Mayor Giacobbe is quick to give credit to his council, staff, directors, and the people around him. For him, leadership isn't about taking all the credit. It's about building a strong team, listening to different opinions, earning buy-in, and making decisions that serve the residents of Rahway.One of the biggest lessons in the conversation is “control the controllable.” Giacobbe talks about dealing with the pressure that comes with being mayor, a husband, and a father by focusing on what is directly in front of him instead of getting overwhelmed by everything that could happen tomorrow. One step, one priority, one day at a time.Preparation is another major theme. Giacobbe explains why being prepared gives you a better chance to succeed, while Luis connects that idea to one of his favorite athletes, Derek Jeter. When you're prepared, the game slows down. That lesson applies whether you're leading a city, running a business, creating art, or trying to build a career.The conversation gets personal when Giacobbe talks about his family, the loss of his daughter Anabella, and the His Bella Kind Foundation, which has helped turn grief into positive work supporting young women in Rahway. The episode shows the person behind the title and the experiences that have shaped the way he leads.A major part of the episode focuses on arts and culture in Rahway. Giacobbe explains why supporting artists isn't just about entertainment. The arts bring people together, create access for young artists, attract visitors, and help local businesses by bringing people into the city. Rahway's growing arts district is a major part of that vision.Some of the projects and topics discussed include:Rahway's arts district, including the UC PAC, Hamilton Stage, and local art galleries.The planned outdoor amphitheater, river walk, open fields, and rain gardens.Public art, including murals, the MLK Park renovation, Veterans Park, and the Harriet Tubman statue.Support for local businesses, redevelopment, and creating more daytime foot traffic downtown.The importance of community inclusion, making residents feel seen, heard, and respected.How preparation, reflection, accountability, and learning from mistakes can make you a better leader.The conversation gets into small business, economic development, redevelopment, public safety, politics, diversity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, antisemitism, and community responsibility. Giacobbe explains why transparency matters and why leaders need to communicate the “why” behind their decisions. For him, earning the trust of residents means being honest, accountable, and willing to explain the choices being made.Luis and Giacobbe also talk about his vision for Rahway's next chapter. His “North Star” is creating more daytime foot traffic so residents and visitors support local businesses while bringing more industry and jobs into the city. The goal is a stronger local economy where businesses, residents, artists, and the community all benefit.At the heart of this episode is a simple idea: leadership is about people. Giacobbe talks about being born and raised in Rahway and wanting to leave the city better for the next generation. He wants residents to feel proud of where they live and confident that their voices matter.If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe to I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, follow the podcast, and share it with an artist, entrepreneur, business owner, or community leader who could get something from the conversation.

On this episode of Breaking Through Glass Ceilings, Brian H. Waters sits down with Marc "Cheats" Cheatham, founder of the Black Baseball Mixtape — the platform built to spotlight Black baseball fans, players, and culture at every level of the game, from Little League to the Majors. Cheats shares the story of how one conversation with Ken Griffey Jr. about photography (not baseball) opened doors that led to four straight MLB All-Star Weeks, how a random Instagram list of "dream guests" led to Bruce Maxwell sliding into his DMs within the hour, and why the game still needs to build buzz around today's stars like Mookie Betts, CJ Abrams, and James Wood — not just the legends of the 90s. He also opens up about raising his son inside this world, including the time he sat beside Derek Jeter at a charity dinner and had no idea who he was.(00:54) – Welcome, Mark "Cheats" Cheatham(02:50) – Falling in love with baseball(10:40) – Meeting Griffey at the Swingman Classic(23:08) – The origin of Black Baseball Mixtape(33:45) – Adam Jones, representation, and the Orioles(48:00) – Why Black fans need to rally around today's stars(49:29) – His "Breaking through the Glass Ceiling" moment(52:56) – The Derek Jeter dinner story

Chris McMonigle enjoys a custom song tribute before debating a caller over George Lombard Jr.'s defensive errors and comparisons to Derek Jeter. They analyze the Yankees' improved offense since Cody Bellinger's return and address concerns regarding the bullpen's depth. 01:05 - Manny Rodriguez Song Tribute 04:44 - George Lombard Jr. Debate 07:43 - Cody Bellinger Impact Analysis 09:15 - Yankees Bullpen Outlook

George Lombard Jr is giving the Yankees exactly the kind of spark a top prospect can provide in a pennant race. His clutch contact, aggressive baserunning and brilliant defense have Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wondering just how high his ceiling can go, leading to comparisons ranging from Andrelton Simmons and Jose Reyes to Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. The conversation turns to the Giants and what Evan sees as an unfair rush to bury Tyrone Tracy. One missed preseason block and the excitement surrounding Cam Skattebo have changed the narrative quickly, but Evan argues Tracy has already proven he can be a dynamic NFL back and still views him as the Giants' RB1.

Jaxson Dart's trips to the blue medical tent have inspired a nickname Giants fans absolutely hate. Evan Roberts defends calling Dart “Big Blue Tent,” arguing the frequency is impossible to ignore, while Tiki Barber pushes back on taking the nickname too far. The debate turns into a bigger question about how quickly fans attach expectations and narratives to young players. George Lombard Jr. becomes the next test case as Evan and Tiki debate comparisons to Derek Jeter, Jose Reyes, Alex Rodriguez and other shortstops. They argue that prospect expectations can become ridiculous before a player has even established himself, while also revisiting how perceptions changed around Anthony Volpe, Michael Conforto and other highly touted young players.

The Giants' roster battles take center stage from there, with questions about Najee Harris, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Jalin Hyatt and a crowded receiver room. Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances of making the team are suddenly looking real, while George Lombard Jr. sparks another Yankees prospect debate and a reminder of just how impossible Derek Jeter comparisons can become.

Aaron Glenn is owning the mistakes that helped derail his first season with the Jets, including choosing the wrong coaching staff and wasting energy battling the New York media. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Glenn's self-reflection is a promising sign or whether the bigger problem remains his quarterback decisions, with Geno Smith now carrying enormous weight in Year 2. The Giants spark plenty of heat too, as Evan defends his “Big Blue Tent” nickname for Jaxson Dart while Giants fans push back. The conversation turns to whether this could be the Giants' best roster since 2011, the crowded running back and receiver battles, and Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances of sticking. Plus, George Lombard Jr.'s ceiling fuels a Yankees prospect debate that leads straight into Derek Jeter, Jose Reyes, and the danger of putting superstar expectations on young players.

I'm not selling Pace salsa but we are about to discussion the best athletes of New York City. From the Knicks to the Nets, to the Islanders to the Rangers, to The Jets to the Giants, to the Yankees to the Mets. There is a lot of players to unpack here so it may be an all nighter of a debate.

Wish us luck because we'll need it. Have a great day everyone and we'll see you all next week... Peace

George Lombard Jr.'s electric Yankees debut immediately puts Anthony Volpe's future at shortstop under the microscope. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Lombard can seize the job, how his ceiling compares with Mets prospect A.J. Ewing and whether his arrival gives the Yankees legitimate playoff hope once Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger return. The crew also questions whether Cam Schlittler is healthy or beginning to wear down, imagines John Sterling's call for Lombard's first home run and battles over a controversial Derek Jeter comparison. Plus, Keith Hernandez calls the Mets' traded players “garbage” before issuing an apology, Davante Adams reveals how he took No. 17 from Malachi Corley, and a debate erupts over how much a fan should demand for a prized home run ball.

Shaun Morash and CMac go to war over whether George Lombard Jr.'s first Yankees start truly mirrored Derek Jeter's Opening Day debut as the team's everyday shortstop. CMac argues the comparison stands, but Shaun blasts him for ignoring Jeter's 1995 stint and says Lombard has not officially secured the job yet. Tiki Barber steps in as judge and delivers the final verdict, siding with Shaun and declaring CMac's argument wrong. The fight then spills into Lombard's unusual No. 96, whether he could change it within days, and Shaun's claim that the Yankees rookie is already the greatest No. 96 in New York sports history.

For an unprecedented thirteenth time, Cooperstown correspondent Jeff Katz joins the boys to talk about the excitement (or lack thereof) surrounding the 2026 Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, rubbing elbows with baseball immortals (and Jeffrey Leonard!), the "aura" of Derek Jeter, re-evaluates the greatness of Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg and, of course, determines whether or not the Los Angeles Dodgers are ruining baseball.

Rob Scheer was thrown out at 18 with a trash bag. He was the youngest of 10 children. His mother was married six times. His father beat him and his siblings, punching him in the bladder so repeatedly that by the time Rob joined the Navy, it ruptured. He had spent his senior year of high school homeless — sleeping in the bathroom of the taco restaurant where he worked, on beanbag chairs in the public library after closing, and on the floors of friends' homes. He barely graduated. He had no family to go back to. He had no picture to put on his bunk in boot camp except one of Tina Turner. Then he became one of the most successful mortgage bankers in the country. On Episode 237 of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, Rob Scheer sits down with Lori Saitz to share the full arc: the teachers who believed in him when no one else did, the Navy discharge that sent him hitchhiking down Route 7 with a Salvation Army suit and a fabricated resume, the mortgage industry boss who ripped that resume in half and told him he was the most honest person he had ever met, the 28-year banking career, and the moment he looked at his four children in designer clothes and realized he had raised entitled kids who had never learned empathy. That realization led to Comfort Cases — a nonprofit that packs backpacks filled with brand-new essentials for children entering foster care on their first night. No more trash bags. Over 320,000 cases delivered to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Three-month waiting list for volunteers. Published by Derek Jeter. Featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Rob also shares what it means to be a foster and adoptive father to five sons, including one adopted at 18 in an adult adoption. He talks about why empathy is not in our DNA and must be taught, what leadership actually looks like outside of a job title, and why a five-year-old named Grayson was the one who understood from the very beginning that every backpack needs a blanket.
