Big Jim or Diamond Jim – those were names for the legendary Gilded Age robber baron Jim Fisk. He caused the gold crisis collapse after fooling President Ulysses Grant and stole millions from Cornelius Vanderbilt. A lover's triangle, at age 37, would lead to his untimely end

We chat with former Sturt and Melbourne player John 'Diamond Jim' Tilbrook. John played in 5 successive premiership teams with Sturt in the SANFL from 1966 to 1970. For the 1971 season he made the move to Melbourne which was a big headline at the time. We chat with John about his career and how he made it to the VFL after huge success in South Australia.

The man credited with starting the Chicago Outfit by making his money with brothels and having a tragic assassination.

Diamond Jim Tyler talks about Bamboozlers, how he went from restaurant magician to performing in the homes of the most well-known people in the world and becoming a legend with a couple of pranks. Nick Locapo is off this week, but don't worry; this week's episode is full of some of the wildest stories we've heard yet.

He was known as Diamond Jim. Never a religious man, Jim was a successful airline pilot and businessman who enjoyed all the finest things the world can offer. Although he loved traveling the world, there was always a hunger for something more. The day he died would prove to be an unexpected journey that would quench his deep hunger and leave him radically transformed.   In this episode Jim shares:  Growing up in Canada and becoming an airline pilot at the young age of 18 Onset of symptoms leading up to the diagnosis of Guillain Barre Unintentional overdose of medication to manage his pain and an out of body experience Three critical words he said just before he lost consciousness Experiencing heaven and streets of transparent gold Witnessing a dark crevasse and encountering an evil being Being rescued by three angels Flowers in heaven and the appearance a Holy city, a nursery for children lost Encountering Jesus, liquid light and seeing his book of life, being given an assignment Coming to consciousness in the ICU and his first words to his wife A powerful takeaway message from his experience   Today Jim is healed and shares that he lives an exchanged life. He is a man that has been transformed by the love of God. It has changed how he sees God, himself, others and life in general. He is passionate about traveling and ministering to others about the wonders he has witnessed and turning to Christ. He feels a joy and a peace that he never knew was possible.   "I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books." - Revelation 20:12 NIV   Jim's book: Heaven an Unexpected Journey https://a.co/d/8i8PbJq   Jim's website is not functioning at this time but you can reach him by email: jimwoodford48@gmail.com   Jim's appearance on Sid Roth: https://youtu.be/jEWHwfzECr0?si=nCLmoRPNZzUmEXMi

Jim Duffy is the President of The Litigation Connection. His business is finding the best litigation lawyers that fit his client's very particular needs and niche. He walks through his research process which has dramatically increased his bookings and how to utilize this research during the actual cold call. Jim emphasizes the need to be genuine in developing a relationship and determining fit, rather than being salesy, as there is simply no need for it in his space.  HIGHLIGHTS Getting in front of litigation lawyers and having more conversations Researching and creating a sub-persona beneath the persona within the ICP Cold call success: Research, a calm demeanor, and genuineness QUOTES Researching niche litigation lawyers Jim: "I look at different keywords and then we take those keywords and we'll look at the left of that phrase, left of that keyword and the right of that keyword and pull those phrases together, and that creates this phrase that really is the phrase that matters because it really tells about what they do vis-à-vis what my client does." Creating a story using talking points from outsourced research Jim: "As the phone's ringing, I'm looking at the notes I already have, he was... on the John Gotti trial, and then I'm looking all these other points, and then I'm scraping that also and putting in it as a tag. So it's almost like a story of all these disparate pieces of information and the person who's making the phone call has to have the ability to take those disparate points and put it into a sentence." Calm demeanor versus fast talking on a call cold Jim: "I'm not saying that somebody who's high energy can't be successful but I think that the person that's receiving a call or talking to somebody doesn't want to speak to a fast talker or the one that seems like the Diamond Jim. They want to talk to somebody who's genuine and having a calm demeanor and having a good conversation about what the situation is all about."  Find out more about Jim in the links below: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-duffy-bb95576/ Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/socialseller1 Website (under construction): http://litigationconnection.com/ Phone: 708-629-9333 More on Andy Paul: Connect on LinkedIn Learn more at AndyPaul.com Sponsored by: Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.io Explore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe: Sales Enablement Podcast RevOps Podcast Selling with Purpose Podcast

Since there was no room for a rookie first baseman on a team that already had Gil Hodges, Diamond Jim (so nicknamed by Roy Campanella, who considered the young lefthanded slugger a diamond in the rough) languished for eight years in the Dodger farm system. Finally traded to Baltimore, in 1961 the temperamental San Francisco native batted .302 with 46 HR and - on only 147 hits - a club record 141 RBI. His five '61 grand slams, including two straight in one game, set an AL record that stood until 1987.Classic Broadcasts are old-time broadcasts that have been put together from various sources.

In this week's Jean Arthur Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode, we look at two more movies from 1935, Public Hero No. 1 (directed by J. Walter Ruben for MGM) and Diamond Jim (directed by A. Edward Sutherland for Universal, with a screenplay by Preston Sturges). In the first, Arthur injects some screwball swagger into a Code-era gangster drama with an FBI agent hero; in the second, she has a dual role as the love(s) of Edward Arnold's life. We consider the qualities Arthur brings to these films, for which she was loaned out by Columbia, and marvel at the dark oddity of Diamond Jim, made not long before the advent of the post-Laemmle banker regime at Universal that thwarted Preston Sturges' first shot at directing.  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:  PUBLIC HERO NO. 1 (1935) [dir.

Jim Fisk had many nicknames. He was known as Big Jim, Diamond Jim, and Jubilee Jim. Many historians place him in the group of wealthy men known as the Robber Barons of the Gilded Age. After researching his story we tend to think of him more as a wheeling, dealing, boisterous circus worker and peddler who learned his ways traveling the quiet country roads of New England. Here's his story...

One of the most powerful men in Chicago, Big Jim’s businesses ranged from brothels and opium dens to upscale dining. His political influence in the early 1900s helped shape the way American organized crime operated for decades to come. Nobody could take down Big Jim… but that doesn’t mean they didn’t try.  Parcasters - Take a trip from Chicago to New Hampshire and learn about the alien abduction of Barney and Betty Hill on our new show Extraterrestrial.

Being asked to write a short bio is like a short walk down a long trail. How could I possibly brush past everything I might have seen along the way? Instead I need to acknowledge the people the that put me on and keep me on the path. The love of my life Gina. She keeps me in line and pointed in the right direction. My boys Will and Henry. I love these two so much more each day. My teachers Chris S., Ralph M., Larry L. and so many more humans I travel the broad highway with each day. My work family Andy, Spencer, Corey, Justin, Casey, Shawn, and now Al, Roy, Mark, Michael, Fee, Johnnie, Jordan, Brandon, and Michael. My fitness folks Everyone at Hit & Run Downtown and Midtown. Especially, Justin, The McGoldricks, Hunter, Big Dave, Coach Matt, Diamond Jim, Brennan, The Lashers, and all the rest of the people working to get better each day. Finally, my Mom, Dad, and Little Sister (Anne Marie). I'm convinced without you I would've been lost long ago.  I heard something on CBS Sunday morning while watching a John McEnroe piece, "As long as you live life will teach you how to live it" or something like that, thank you. Be Well, Bill

Doc has invented special glasses and a body suit that simulate the ideal skills for a baseball player. After Jules shows Marty an old baseball card depicting a distant relative, Pee Wee McFly, Marty and the boys make a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, September 1, 1897. On September 2 of that year, Pee Wee had retired after losing the game that would have won the 1897 National League Pennant Race for the Boston Beaneaters. Upon arriving in Boston on the day before Pee Wee’s mistake, the guys discover that Pee Wee McFly pitching that game as well, with Boston leading the Baltimore Orioles, 6-4. Marty inadvertently interferes with history when he yells “Hey, cousin!” to the pitcher, who is distracted and knocked unconscious by a baseball. Using Doc’s inventions, as well as a fake mustache, Marty “steps in” for Pee Wee and wins the game. Check out Back To The Future stuff at Amazon.com Instead of being thankful, Pee Wee is terrified – he is being pressured to “throw” the games by Diamond Jim Tannen, a Boston gangster who has bet on Baltimore to win the pennant. Diamond Jim warns Pee Wee to lose the September 2 game, or face serious injury. When Marty casually says “Get out of town!” to his 1897 relative, Pee Wee takes the advice to heart and hops on a streetcar on its way out of Boston. Marty then makes plans to impersonate Pee Wee once more and to win the September 2 game that his distant cousin had lost. With Doc’s invention, Marty helps Boston take the lead. Realizing that Pitcher McFly isn’t throwing the game, Diamond Jim rushes the field and attacks Marty until the police take him away. Marty is uninjured, but his cheating aids have been damaged and the malfunctioning glasses cause him to become disoriented. Thanks to Marty’s bad pitching, Baltimore takes a 10-9 lead, and the McFly name is once more destined for ruin. Pee Wee, who had contemplated sailing back to his native Ireland, returns to the stadium, takes over from Marty, and wins the game and the 1897 National League pennant. After returning to the future (1991), Marty, Verne, and Jules play a game of baseball. Marty, in hitting the ball for a home run, also destroys a shop window in Hill Valley, breaking the glass. Doc Brown, in the shop at the time, leaves before anyone can blame his family for the destruction.
