Alan Sussman has been intertwined with the success of countless Detroit-area entrepreneurs as founder and CEO of the Sussman Agency. But that journey to the top was never, ever easy. Sussman tells True Underdog Jayson Waller and co-host John LeBlanc about the time he ran away from home at age 14 to avoid an abusive father, and how he found his path to success with sheer determination and grit. Sussman also gives valuable life lessons learned from 56 years of being in business, first as a partner in a recording studio, and then as a creator of jingles before diving deeper into advertising.
Harley’s memoir, Hard-Core: Life of My Own, is about growing up a feral street kid and coming of age amid the wreckage of old New York City—a now long-gone landscape of gangs, violence, decay, and, of course, the Cro-Mags. Harley’s book is not only a recounting of his story, but a reminder of what pre-gentrified New York City was like at the height of its cultural and artistic zeitgeist. It’s also about betrayal and reinvention without self-pity, told simply and straightforwardly in the author’s own voice. Theme music by Joseph E. Martinez of Junius.

Harley Flanagan from the Cro-Mags is on the podcast! Harley has just released Hard-Core: Life of My Own, his long-awaited autobiography that covers his tumultuous life and times in a vivid and often frightening way. From his time as a pre-pubescent drummer in the early punk band The Stimulators, to the chaos and violence of living in the Lower East Side of New York in the lawless 70's and 80's, and the endless beefs and struggles during his time in the mighty Cro-Mags, Harley holds nothing back here, including his infamous arrest following a stabing at a Cro-Mags show in 2012. i spoke with Harley from his home in NYC to discuss why this was the right time to tell his story, his concerns about writing such a no-holds-barred memoir, his thoughts on re-uniting the original Cro-Mags lineup, his time running wild with Montreal skinheads in the 80's and much more.
