Podcast appearances and mentions of Ellis Henican

Join my debate with Ellis Henican on Newsmax. His attempt to slam Elon Musk was shut down. What a shame...Elon makes nothing off his contribution to DOGE in a effort to uncover waste, fraud, and abuse in government. He's doing this at Donald Trump's request and for America. He deserves the Metal of Honor. Instead the George Soror deep state now attempts to take down Elon Musk and Tesla. Elon saves astronauts in space while exposing waste, fraud, and abuse in Washington D.C. The closer he gets to the fire, the more vicious the 'Left' gets.

Ellis Henican—New York Times best-selling collaborator, Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper columnist, and popular television news pundit—had perhaps the coolest side-gig of any of our podcast guests to date. He provided the voice of “Stormy” in the adult animated television series “SeaLab 2021,” which ran on the Cartoon Network for four seasons.  This spring, he's also provided the “voice” for books by former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (What Would Reagan Do?); legendary actor Tom Selleck (You Never Know); and, high-stakes hostage negotiator Mickey Bergman (In the Shadows), marking him as perhaps the busiest ghostwriter of the publishing season.  Ellis's other collaborative credits include Home Team, a New York Times best-seller written with New Orleans Saints football coach Sean Payton; In the Blink of Any Eye: Dale, Daytona, and the Day that Changed Everything, with two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip; and Doc, with former All-Star pitcher Dwight “Doc” Gooden.  For 20 years, he wrote a thrice-weekly column in New York Newsday, where he shared a Pulitzer Prize for the newspaper's coverage of the Union Square train wreck. Join us as Ellis reflects on his mid-career pivot from the newsroom, the lessons he's learned writing on behalf some of our most influential athletes, actors, and politicians, and how it happened that a veteran journalist found his way to becoming a cartoon character.  Learn more about Ellis Henican: Twitter Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Please support the sponsors who support our show: Ritani Jewelers Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

Kyle Petty is NASCAR royalty. Son of the legendary "King," Richard Petty, and grandson of one of the founding fathers of the sport, Lee Petty spoke to Bill Wills about his new book, co-written with bestselling author Ellis Henican, SWERVE OR DIE: Life at My Speed in the First Family of NASCAR Racing

ABOUT KYLE PETTY AND SWERVE OR DIE Kyle Petty is NASCAR royalty. Son of the legendary "King," Richard Petty, and grandson of one of the founding fathers of the sport, Lee Petty, he has dedicated his life to the most popular form of American auto racing. With his new book, co-written with bestselling author Ellis Henican, SWERVE OR DIE: Life at My Speed in the First Family of NASCAR Racing (St. Martin's Press, on sale date August 9, 2022, $28.99), this beloved member of the first family of American auto racing discusses the sport's origins, how it is navigating the important issues of the day, and what the future will be for the sport. And, that future might just see NASCAR becoming a global leader in "green" vehicles.A champion on and off the track, Petty presents a thoughtful and nuanced book. This is not just an "I raced here; I won there," type of book. Rather, a great portion is devoted to facing down tough issues plaguing the sport, and society. SWERVE OR DIE takes a deep dive into how the great American racing circuit has become so controversial and how it's Southern-bred worldview - the Confederate flag debate, for example - is shaking American life yet again. He is not afraid to pull the curtain back on why the sport is dealing with many wrenching societal issues tearing at its soul and how it will go about handling them. This is the smart NASCAR book that's never been written before. From the dirt tracks of the south and the hard-packed beaches of Daytona FL, to today's Superspeedways, often with 150,000+ fans in attendance, few sports.few businesses.have grown as exponentially as NASCAR. Its future is a hot topic. How does NASCAR attract the next generation (or two) of fans while maintaining the hold it has on old-time fans who helped racing grow into a colossus? Are electric vehicles, and green racing, where the sport is headed? Filled with intensely personal anecdotes and juicy stories about the sport's biggest names, it's also chock full of never-before-seen photos from the Petty family's private collection. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the sport, as well as the perfect primer for anyone who's ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at all the races. PRAISE FOR SWERVE OR DIE "After all the things Kyle's done, I knew there had to be a book in there somewhere. Well, here it is. And I'll tell you what: Kyle doesn't believe in keeping secrets. Even I learned some things in here. And yeah, his mom deserves all the credit for how he turned out." --Richard Petty "He's lived through the worst possible scenario that could happen to anyone. Imagine going back to Loudon after that! You could throw haymakers at Kyle. He just rolls with it. He's like, 'I'm gonna walk around with a ponytail.I'm gonna sing.I'm gonna say whatever I wanna say on TV.' With that upbeat attitude of his and the way he takes advantage of every opportunity, I do think Kyle has lived the lives of five people combined."--Joey Logano, NASCAR Champion "It's always darkest in the shadow of greatness. Each generation has had to prove itself along the way, and believe me it doesn't get easier. Kyle's story is a uniquely American one about a uniquely America sport. I highly recommend it."-- Jay Leno "Kyle isn't just a racecar driver. He has a powerful voice, a bottomless heart and a real gift for bringing people together. What he's achieved with Victory Junction and the Kyle Petty Charity Ride. It's just incredible. His life story is packed with lessons for all of us."--Herschel Walker "As a competitor, broadcaster, family member and dear friend, Kyle has lived through every era of our sport, impacting the lives of so many along the way. With a heartfelt gift for storytelling, his love for NASCAR and passion for the people in it make his first-hand account of motorsports history a must-read for racing fans everywhere."--Lesa Kennedy, executive vice chair of NASCAR ABOUT KYLE PETTY Kyle Petty is a former NASCAR racer and current commentator on NBC Sports. He is the son of 7-time NASCAR champion Richard Petty, the grandson of racer Lee Petty, credited as one of the founding fathers of the sport, and father of the late racer, Adam Petty, tragically killed in a crash during practice for a race in May 2000. Kyle last drove the #45 Dodge Charger for Petty Enterprises, where he formerly served as CEO. He is an in-demand public speaker and is active in many charitable causes, including Victory Junction, a camp that serves children with serious medical conditions, founded in honor of his son, Adam. He also leads an annual motorcycle ride, the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America.

His long-running column, a personal, opinionated take on the news of the day, appears in the front section of Newsday, putting Ellis in the middle of politics, crime, celebrity and whatever else people in the New York area are talking about. He led Newsday to a Pulitzer Prize for spot-news coverage of the Union Square subway wreck. Ellis’s television work includes 13 years as a contributor to Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network and numerous appearances on CNN, MSNBC and Bloomberg TV. On Fox, he appeared frequently on The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity, Your World with Cavuto, Fox & Friends and the networks’ other top shows, where he was known for his lively, liberal take on the news.

Ellis has written five books in the past four years, all for top New York publishers. His most recent is The Party’s Over with former Florida Governor Charlie Crist (Dutton), an account of how the Republican Party has been hijacked by ideological extremists, leaving little room for common-sense moderates like Crist. Ellis’s other books include Damn Few with Navy SEAL Commander Rorke Denver (Hyperion, 2013), DOC: A Memoir with baseball great Dwight Gooden (New Harvest, 2013), In the Blink of an Eye with NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip (Hyperion, 2011) and Home Team with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton (Penguin, 2010).

Film rights have been purchased by 20th Century Fox for director Marc Webb (Amazing Spider Man, I and II). An entertaining public speaker and event moderator, Ellis is also the voice of Stormy on the hit Cartoon Network series, Sealab 2021.

Hey hey! Welcome to episode 180 of Life on Fire. Can you remember a moment in your life when you decided that other people could do something that you couldn’t do? And in that moment you told yourself there was just something about you that meant you weren’t going to have what they did. If you answered yes you are not alone. In fact everyone has done this, it’s part of the human experience. On episode 180 of Life on Fire Michael Bernoff, legendary personal development coach and ultra successful entrepreneur, shares a time from his childhood when he told himself he couldn’t do something that others could. He shares his story, as well as the three steps necessary to breaking through the chains of that story. In this episode you’ll hear: When does everything become a learning experience? (6:20) Do we all create boxes for ourselves that tell us what we can and cannot do? (22:30) Why you’re better off without a plan! (27:05) What Samuel Adams can teach you about success as an entrepreneur. (29:35) Why building stability is important. (32:25) And so much more! According to Michael one of the greatest challenges we will face as entrepreneurs is having been raised in a middle class family. That’s why so many people are comfortable: they have enough food, a warm home and clothing. They didn’t come from a foreign country with no money and no belongings, so they aren’t motivated. But Michael has had that spark within him since he was a kid: a hunger to do more, be more and express more in the world. And as an entrepreneur or someone who wants to be an entrepreneur you do too. Rather than creating a plan for your success Michael suggests you simply jump in. Take Samuel Adams for example: when he started brewing beer he wasn’t worried about growing or expanding his business. No, his only concern was selling his first 12 pack! Once he’d sold some kegs and saw people were interested, then he began to put together a plan for his business. Those topics highlight the first two of the three steps to changing anything in your life: decide you are hungry for it, you aren’t happy with where you and then take action to produce consistent momentum. Let’s look at each of those steps more in-depth. 1. Decide you aren’t where you want to be. You must realize and decide you are not where you want to be. Decide for yourself you are not okay with things as they are right now. Because if you’re comfortable with everything as it is then you won’t have the same hunger, fire and passion for change. 2. Consistent action and consistent momentum. Now that you’re hungry for change take action. Get yourself to take consistent action and create consistent momentum. If you can do that you are on your way to leading a richer, more fulfilling life. 3. Change your perceptions and how you see things. Do you believe certain things aren’t for you? Why do you believe that and is that belief really true? Or did you just make it up or buy into it because someone else told you it was true? Michael shares the story (one of many great ones on today’s show!) about a client of his who told Michael the doctor diagnosed him as having persistent anxiety. The doctor also told him he’d have it for the rest of his life. When the man told Michael this he challenged him to examine that perception: does he really have to have anxiety for the rest of his life or could it be that he hasn’t found a way to better understand himself yet and alleviate those feelings? Consider where you have created limiting beliefs, and boxes for yourself in your life, and then consider whether or not they are actually true. Is it possible you could take something you gain from listening to this show or attending a Life on Fire event and change that limiting box you’ve created? Could you allow what you learn to become that person you really want to be? Listen in for an exercise Michael walks you through that examines those questions, plus some very funny and insightful stories he shares about the secrets to being a successful entrepreneur. It’s all here on episode 180 of Life on Fire!

Today boys want to grow up to be professional athletes, or tech billionaires.  But there was time when being a secret agent seemed like just about the coolest thing to do. Whether it was the literary exploits of Bond or Bourne, or the real story Philby, or the moral twilight of le Carre, spycraft, particularly during the days of the Cold War, held a magical appeal. It certainly did for Naveed Jamali.  He dreamt of being in Naval Intelligence and it inspired him to become a real life double agent, albeit ending in the parking lot of Hooters.  His is both a very American story but also an international story  Naveed tells his story along with Ellis Henican in their book How to Catch a Russian Spy: The True Story of an American Civilian Turned Double Agent.My conversation with Navid Jamali and Ellis Henican:
