From Hollywood Hits to Finding Happy: Peter Samuelson's Mission to Lift Others Peter Samuelson could have stayed in Hollywood, producing box-office hits like Revenge of the Nerds and The Return of the Pink Panther. Instead, he utilized his storytelling and leadership skills to rewrite the script of his life, founding seven nonprofits that empower society's most overlooked individuals, including those in foster care. In this inspiring episode, Peter reveals the decisive moments that shaped him, like a life-changing nudge from a 10th-grade teacher and his father's unwavering belief in education. We explore his journey from film sets to social impact, from co-founding the Starlight Children's Foundation with Emma Samms and STARBRIGHT World with Steven Spielberg, to building First Star, a program that sends 90% of foster teens to college. Peter also shares the wisdom behind his new book, Finding Happy, a field guide for Gen Z and Millennials navigating life's complexities. Packed with insight, humour, and “madcap adventures,” it's a reminder that long-term happiness isn't about fame or fortune—it's about helping others. If you're looking for hope, purpose, and 'finding happy', don't miss this conversation. Andrea Barrack returns to the show to talk about the role organizations can play to support individuals and communities.

Hollywood promised him meaning. Instead, it handed him neurosis, vanity, and burnout disguised as success. But what Peter Samuelson built after walking away from that illusion? That's the story no one tells—and the one that might just change your life. In Part 2 of this unfiltered conversation, Peter takes us beyond the glamour into the gritty truth of the film industry's collapse, the mirage of fame, and why true happiness lives in the unexpected places most of us avoid. This isn't just a masterclass in storytelling— It's a wake-up call to every creator, leader, and soul searcher who's tired of chasing the spotlight and ready to build something real.
This week on The Crossman Conversation, John Crossman welcomes Peter Samuelson, President of First Star and CEO of PhilmCo Media, for a powerful conversation about purpose, balance, and his new book, FINDING HAPPY. Peter shares why he wrote the book, the importance of emotional wellness, and how his mission to support foster youth has shaped his work and life. From building tools for young people to navigating challenges with clarity and compassion, this episode is a reminder that real success starts with knowing who you are—and choosing joy anyway.
What if the very thing you think will make you happy is the thing that's quietly killing you? Peter Samuelson produced 27 Hollywood films, worked alongside Peter Sellers, Steve McQueen, and Steven Spielberg, and stood at the epicenter of power, fame, and money. But none of it—not the red carpets, not the billion-dollar budgets—brought him what he was really after. . That only came when he met a dying child with one last wish. That moment shattered his world—and rebuilt his purpose. . In this raw, no-BS episode, Peter Samuelson takes us behind the scenes of his evolution from “successful film producer” to serial pro-social entrepreneur. From co-founding the Starlight Children's Foundation with Spielberg to launching the world's first avatar-based social network for terminally ill teens, his journey is a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership. . And along the way? Practical jokes with Peter Sellers. Motocross requests from Steve McQueen. A $2.5M surprise donation from Spielberg. And the realization that happiness has nothing to do with success, and everything to do with what you're willing to sacrifice for others. .
A couple weeks ago, we sat down in Cincinnati with Chris White from First Star Logistics for a fun and insightful episode. Chris walks us through his journey from being recruited out of a bar by TQL to now leading brokerage sales and training at First Star. We dive into what makes First Star's W2-to-agent model unique, how they train new brokers fast, and why Cincinnati is one of the most overlooked freight hubs in the country. Chris also shares advice for brokers navigating today's tough market, the importance of vetting carriers, and how curiosity beats a sales pitch. Plus, we swap cold call horror stories and talk smoked wings and city vibes—this one's got a bit of everything.

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 273 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're continuing our block of episodes on the most famous of Brett Favre's backups. After a 1990 season which saw Brunell lead Washington to a PAC-10 title, many believed the Rose Bowl MVP quarterback would lead the Huskies to an undefeated season in 1991. Unfortunately, a knee injury in spring practice derailed Brunell's 1991 season. He lost his starting job to Billy Joe Hobert, and Washington won a share of the National Championship. Brunell regained his starting job in 1992 after Hobert was suspended, and Green Bay took a chance on the athletic signal-caller in the fifth round of the 1993 NFL Draft. Though Brunell did not see much playing time his first two pro seasons, he flourished after he was traded (the first ever trade in franchise history) to the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars before the 1995 season. It did not take long for Brunell & the Jaguars to find success in the NFL. By the end of 1996, Brunell led the league in passing yards, led the Jaguars to their first postseason berth, upset both Buffalo and Denver on the road in the playoffs and made the franchise's first AFC Championship Game. One of the league's best teams during the late 1990s, Brunell led a lethal passing attack complimented by Keenan McCardell & Jimmy Smith. It was also during his career with the Jaguars (1995-2003) that Brunell made all three of his Pro Bowls. The crafty left-hander then spent the next four seasons starting with Washington (2004-2007). He followed his stint with the Redskins as a backup in New Orleans (2008-2009) where he won a Super Bowl after the 2009 season. Finally, Brunell rounded out his pro career as a backup with the New York Jets (2010-2011). Presently, Brunell is back in the NFL as the Quarterbacks Coach of the Detroit Lions.

Something going on far above us, in orbit, might be doing more to shape the future of humanity than any events here on earth. Up there is one of the most powerful tools humans have ever had to hunt for the origins of our universe – and for alien life. The James Webb Space Telescope has the ability to look so far and with such clarity that we can get an insight into a period of time that our best scientists have only ever speculated about: the cosmic dark ages. Today we revisit our conversation with the director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute at Swinburne University, Dr Alan Duffy, on why the last year marked a new beginning for our understanding of the universe. This episode was first published on January 11, 2023.

For my first convention review, I'm joined by journalist, Dean Rogers of pop culture news site, The Rogers Revue. Together, we discuss our collective and separate experiences at the convention as well as some general best practices for going to a convention. As a frequent comic con attendee myself, I was struck by the differences and similarities that I experienced in this convention space. Dean and I cover subjects from the current state of fandom to the emotional experience of celebrity interactions and between all that, I give Farpoint my convention score with my new "convention rubic". Have a listen and I can't wait to hear what you think. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/interspectional/support

Long live Strekdom and may it always prosper! This week, Emily and V are heading to the original frontier of fannish culture: Star Trek fan clubs of the 1960's. It's super emotional, and the women who created the groundwork of everything we love today deserve our utmost respect for their sheer ballsiness and bananas love of Leonard Nimoy. Join us as we learn about Vulcanalia, discuss ditto machines, and basically write RPF about how much we love the OG fangirls of yore. Have you paid your membership dues?
