EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT AND THE COURAGE TO PIVOT Colleague Admiral James Stavridis. The Admiral emphasizes emotional detachment in leadership, using The Godfather as an analogy for not letting hatred cloud judgment. He critiques Bill Halsey for letting a rivalry with Spruance drive him into a trap at Leyte Gulf. Stavridis also explores the willingness to change plans, illustrating this with Stephen Decatur, who intended to steal the Philadelphiabut burned it when discovered. He reiterates that rational decision-making is vital even when it resembles surrender, as with Lloyd Bucher, challenging "Old Navy" views by asserting there is no shame in surrendering when resistance is impossible. STAVRIDIS NUMBER 31945 USS ANZIO AT SHANGHAI TO TRANSPORT LIBERATED US MILITARY TO HOME.

Actor and alleged wiseguy Gianni Russo, who played the traitorous Carlo Rizzi in 1972's "The Godfather," stops by the studio to talk about people he's bumped off in real life (two, maybe three that he'll admit to), sleeping with Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Monroe (!?) and taking acting lessons from Marlon Brando. Also, crime boss John Gotti and Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega get mentions! (Did you know that Liza and Noriega briefly toured together in the '80s? Okay, we made that part up).  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Truth, Lies & Work, Al and Leanne sit down with Dr Matt Poepsel, Marine veteran, author and the self-proclaimed Godfather of Talent Optimization at The Predictive Index. In a world shaped by burnout, uncertainty and rapid AI disruption, Matt argues that many organisations are facing a “hope crisis” – and it is quietly draining performance, motivation and leadership effectiveness. What We Cover Matt explains why hope is not fluffy positivity but a measurable psychological skill linked directly to job performance, resilience and team culture. Drawing on Snyder's Hope Theory, he shows how two components – agency (belief you can influence outcomes) and pathways (seeing the concrete steps to succeed) – determine whether people stay engaged or slip into autopilot. We also explore why so many teams are struggling: years of instability, constant change and leaders who unknowingly remove autonomy or fail to explain the path forward. Matt shares practical ways leaders can rebuild hope by creating clarity, showing people where they fit, and setting ambitious but achievable goals. The conversation moves into modern leadership, where AI automates admin but heightens the importance of human connection, psychological safety and real alignment. Matt introduces his concept of Enlightened Leadership – a shift away from outdated command-and-control approaches toward a more selfless, purpose-driven model that balances technology with humanity. If you lead people, manage teams or want to stay ahead in a rapidly changing workplace, this episode offers concrete actions to build engagement, performance and wellbeing in 2026 and beyond. Why hope predicts job performance as strongly as intelligence How burnout, bureaucracy and unclear goals quietly erode hope The difference between hope, optimism and positivity Why new beginnings generate motivation and why post-achievement crashes happen How leaders can use agency and pathways to rebuild engagement Why AI makes human leadership a competitive advantage What Enlightened Leadership looks like in practice How to measure hope inside your organisation Why hope becomes contagious when leaders model it Connect with Matt Poepsel

“What happens when one man quietly controls the entire entertainment industry?” That question launches an incredible deep dive on The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.In this episode, Skin shares his jaw-dropping experience watching the Netflix documentary The Black Godfather, which chronicles the life of Clarence Avant—the man who shaped music, film, and culture through sheer influence and relationships. From managing acts before the civil rights era to launching careers for legends like Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Babyface, and LA Reid, Avant's story is nothing short of astonishing.But the conversation takes a shocking turn when the hosts discuss a clip featuring Diddy, bragging about how Clarence kept him out of jail “two or three times” and claiming, “I'm cured now though… you can invite me over for dinner.” The crew unpacks the wild context, including Clarence's role as the ultimate fixer, the rap feuds of the '90s, and the dark side of celebrity culture.

What is “America” not only as a political entity but in our imagination? How can we properly envision America, without repeating clichés that frame America as either reactionary or revolutionary, repressive or liberatory? I spoke with Eyal Peretz about his book American Medium, which looks at Hollywood to re-imagine the concept of "America" through the medium of film. By considering six fundamental American movies: John Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, Steven Spielberg's West Side Story, and Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, Peretz explains how these films do more than represent America and envision a new way to ground human life in our secular age. Eyal Peretz is Professor of Comparative Literature at Indiana University and the author of seminal books on Melville, de Palma, Diderot, da Vinci, as well as film, art, and philosophy.

Dave rings in the first Friday of 2026 with multimedia superstar and Queen of Melrose, Cosmo Lambino—fresh off Soft White Underbelly fame—spilling a wild Harlem-to-Hollywood saga of mob-adjacent glamour (Godfather shoots at grandma's apartment, fur coats from car trunks), early gay defiance against Jehovah's Witnesses, freebase-fueled club chaos, near-misses with Michael Jackson pasta invites, MacArthur Park crack binges, cardboard-box homelessness, and finally sustained sobriety (8+ years strong) through rigorous daily step-writing, meditation, and Tarzana redemption.

[School of Movies 2026] One of the greatest thrillers of the 20th Century, we recorded this show on the 30th Anniversary of Michael Mann's crime epic. This is most definitely NOT a film to watch in twenty-minute chunks on your phone at work! It is a masterfully crafted presentation of the tension between professionalism and emotion, punctuated with ferocious gunfire and transcendant, eliptical music. It is a one-time head-to-head between two of the most celebrated actors of that age, Godfather veterans Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro as a detective and a thief who keep themselves at peak focus to the detriment of their personal lives. It is lightning in a bottle, the kind of career-peak for all involved that you may not instantly adore, but it will linger nonetheless, and whenever you find yourself in a silver-blue pre-sunrise, it will come back to you.

Join hosts Beans and Gaz for a thrilling and unfiltered journey back into the heart of New York's gritty, demanding, and unforgettable 1970s. For this episode, we are once again immensely privileged to welcome back the legendary Ret Lt Cmdr Vernon J. Geberth to share more jaw-dropping stories from his decades-long, decorated career in law enforcement.This time, the conversation shifts to Lt. Cmdr. Geberth's formative and intense years working within the Narcotics division. Geberth pulls back the curtain on what it was truly like to patrol and work the streets of Harlem during this volatile era—a time marked by both cultural revolution and stark, unrelenting street crime.Prepare to be captivated as Geberth recounts the seismic event of the 1977 New York City Blackout. He provides a visceral, first-hand account of the chaos, the widespread riots, and the explosive surge in crime that gripped the city and specifically his precinct. We hear about the harrowing demands placed on officers, the impossible decisions made in the moment, and the pure grit required to maintain order when the lights—and the social fabric—went out.Beyond the streets, Geberth dives into the frustrating, yet all-too-common, reality of dealing with incompetence from above. He details the bureaucratic hurdles, the ill-informed directives, and the political pressures that often hampered effective police work. Yet, as always with Vernon J. Geberth, this is a story of ultimate triumph. Hear how he and his team navigated the internal politics, relied on their street-level intelligence, and ultimately succeeded in their vital mission, proving that dedication and smart policing can overcome even the most challenging circumstances.This is more than a true-crime story—it's an essential history lesson from a man who lived and shaped it. You won't want to miss a second of this incredible conversation.Available wherever you get your podcasts.Topics Covered: 1970s Harlem, NYC Narcotics Division, 1977 Blackout, Riots and Crime Wave, Police Bureaucracy, Law Enforcement History.Pick up Vernon's book "The Godfather of Homicide" on AmazonTHE GODFATHER OF HOMICIDE: VERNON J.

Lessons on Humanity, Technology, and Leadership from a Pioneer of Customer Experience  Shep interviews Bruce Temkin, host of Humanity at Scale: Redefining Leadership. He talks about how AI is reshaping business and why human connection remains essential for both customers and employees.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What is the difference between customer experience and customer service?  Why is the concept "the customer is always right" often considered misguided?  How can companies benefit from shifting their focus from internal processes to customer-centric thinking?  What role does behavioral science play in improving customer experience?  How is artificial intelligence affecting customer service and employee roles in modern organizations?  Top Takeaways:    Customer experience isn't just a buzzword or a fancy way of saying customer service. It is not just about the moments where the customer needs help. It is about every interaction throughout the entire customer journey.  Customers are not always right, but they are always the customer. Customers sometimes have complaints or requests that don't align with the business's offerings, especially if they're not the target audience. Treat everyone with respect, even when you can't give them exactly what they want. Even when they are wrong, let them be wrong with dignity and keep the relationship open for the future as much as possible.  Behavioral science helps explain why customers act the way they do, make certain choices, and even how they respond to situations. Knowledge about how humans think and feel is just as essential as knowing how to organize teams or create new products. Understanding human behavior helps leaders make decisions that truly connect with employees and customers.  Success isn't just about financial results, but also about making life better for people inside and outside the company. Leaders who keep the well-being of employees, customers, and communities in mind make decisions that will have a positive impact on everyone.   AI is changing how work gets done, especially in customer service. AI helps humans do higher-level, creative, and caring work. AI can handle simple tasks, so humans can focus on building real relationships and solving complex problems.  Technology creates new opportunities. AI will not replace humans. It will change the type of work that humans do. Just like how the internet created tons of new jobs, AI will reshape the workplace and introduce new careers.   Plus, Shep and Bruce discuss why it is important for individuals and companies to make sure they are always moving towards their "North Star." Tune in!  Quote:   "One of the absolute misguided beliefs is that the customer is always right. They aren't. All you have to do is look at yourself in the mirror. Everyone's been a customer and not always been right when they've complained or seen a problem."  About:    Bruce Temkin is widely recognized as the "Godfather of Customer Experience," helping to shape customer and employee experience and advising leaders on how to keep people at the center of their organizational processes. He is the host of the podcast, Humanity at Scale: Redefining Leadership.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Hollywood and Media Bias: Cruz argues that the NYT list prioritizes political messaging over storytelling and entertainment. He claims the list reflects elitist, left-leaning Hollywood values and ignores popular, inspirational, or patriotic films. Alternative Film List: Cruz presents his own list of 30 films from the past 25 years that he believes are more representative of quality cinema. His selections include: Gladiator, The Patriot, A Beautiful Mind, Lord of the Rings, Saving Private Ryan, American Sniper, Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick, and Avatar. He emphasizes true stories, war films, musicals, and movies with strong moral or patriotic themes. Personal Movie Preferences: Cruz shares his favorite films (The Princess Bride, The Godfather, Scarface, Fletch), and discusses his love for musicals and classic comedies. He recounts personal anecdotes, including taking his mother to Broadway shows and watching Saving Private Ryan and Dallas Buyers Club. Cultural Commentary: The conversation touches on broader cultural issues, such as the disconnect between Hollywood and everyday Americans, the importance of storytelling, and the role of cinema in shaping public perception.

Movie of the Year: 1971The Panic in Needle ParkWhy Panic in Needle Park Still ResonatesIn this episode of Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, and Mike revisit Panic in Needle Park (1971), an unflinching and immersive portrait of addiction, intimacy, and desperation etched into the grit of New York in the 70s. The film's stark realism and emotional rawness turn what might have been exploitation into something astonishingly human — and absolutely unforgettable.The Taste Buds explore how Schatzburg's shots and the fraught dynamics of Bobby and Helen place Panic in Needle Park among the most honest depictions of addiction and dependency in American cinema.SCHATZBURG'S SHOTS: Cinematic Realism Without ArtificeDirector Jerry Schatzberg crafts Panic in Needle Park with a visual language that refuses escape. Rather than offering stylized glamour, Schatzburg's shots are observational and immersive — handheld, close, and relentlessly present. These techniques force viewers into the characters' world, where discomfort isn't cinematic but immediate and visceral.The Taste Buds discuss how Schatzberg uses tight framing, real location shooting, and a documentary-like approach to blur the line between performance and lived experience — making addiction feel as suffocating onscreen as it must in reality.Bobby and Helen and Al: Love, Dependency, and CollapseAt the emotional core of the film lies the complex, destructive relationship of Bobby and Helen. Bobby and Helen's relationship is not romanticized — it's transactional, codependent, and shaped by survival on the margins. Al looms as both enabler and inevitability, a reminder that escape is always temporary.Ryan, Greg, and Mike explore how the film treats love and addiction as mirrors: Bobby and Helen cling not to hope, but to each other because they have nowhere else to turn. The cycle of dependency becomes the story's most heartbreaking theme.New York in the 70s: A City That Sees It AllFew films capture New York in the 70s with the same unvarnished clarity as Panic in Needle Park. The city is at once backdrop and silent character — indifferent, worn, and sprawling. Parks, streets, and subways become interchangeable landscapes of desperation and anonymity.The Taste Buds discuss how Panic in Needle Park uses real locations to root its story in a specific urban moment — a New York fraught with economic hardship, social upheaval, and the grinding anonymity that shapes these lives.Guest Spotlight: Mark Searby — Scholar, Podcaster, and Al Pacino ExpertThis episode features special guest Mark Searby, a seasoned film critic, broadcaster, and author with deep expertise in character-driven cinema. Mark is best known as the host of All About Al: The Pacino Podcast, a series dedicated to exploring the film, television, and stage career of Al Pacino. The show offers in-depth discussions with critics, scholars, and collaborators about Pacino's work and influence. AcastMark is also the author of Al Pacino: The Movies Behind The Man, a comprehensive guide to Pacino's filmography that examines the actor's artistic evolution — from his breakout performance in Panic in Needle Park through classics like The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon.

Adapted from Mario Puzo's bestselling novel, the film chronicles the rise and transformation of the Corleone family, blending operatic tragedy, ruthless power plays, and intimate family drama into a landmark American epic. Set in post–World War II New York, the story centers on the aging mafia patriarch Don Vito Corleone, portrayed by Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, Apocalypse Now), whose quiet authority and moral code define the family's empire. When outside forces threaten that empire, Vito's youngest son Michael Corleone — played by Al Pacino (Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon) — is pulled from reluctant outsider into a cold, calculating successor. Michael's descent from decorated war hero to feared crime boss forms the film's haunting emotional core.
