This week on "The Ultimate Assist", John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with peptide experts Mary Simmons and John McDermott for a deep dive into one of the most talked-about—and controversial—areas of modern health.Peptides, they explain, are naturally occurring signaling molecules in the body that regulate everything from metabolism and healing to hormone balance and cellular repair. But despite their potential, many of these compounds exist in what Simmons describes as a “gray market”—caught between growing demand and limited regulatory approval.The conversation explores:Why peptides have been difficult for pharmaceutical companies to patentClaims that regulatory agencies may be relying on incomplete or biased informationThe rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs—and whether they're addressing symptoms instead of root causesHow peptides may support healing, recovery, metabolism, and inflammation at a cellular levelSimmons and McDermott also share insights from years of experience in bodybuilding and endurance sports, where peptide use has quietly existed for over a decade—often ahead of mainstream awareness.The discussion expands into a broader look at modern health challenges, including:The role of toxins, pesticides, and environmental stressorsWhy metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance are risingAnd whether current medical approaches are truly solving the problem—or just managing itAt its core, this episode asks:Are we overlooking powerful tools for healing because they don't fit the existing system?Support the show

What happens when Alfred Hitchcock, Manhattan ghost stories, and a family legend collide? In this episode, debut novelist John McDermott reveals how he crafted The Last Spirits of Manhattan from a true event where Hitchcock rented his ancestor's decaying house for a celebrity-studded party. McDermott shares insights into the fiction writing process, navigating permissions for historical fiction featuring real figures, and why he added actual family ghosts to crash Hitchcock's 1956 soiree. From his publishing journey with Simon and Schuster to teaching undergraduates at Stephen F. Austin State University, McDermott offers invaluable lessons on creative writing and perseverance. Tune in to hear the chilling opening of The Last Spirits of Manhattan where Snug, a ghost trapped in the coal room, stirs as a new venture begins.What You'll Learn in This Episode: How to balance historical fiction writing accuracy with poetic license when featuring real celebrities like Alfred Hitchcock, Henry Fonda, and Charles Addams as characters in your supernatural fiction.The importance of literary research in crafting authentic period pieces, including navigating copyright permissions, advertising archives, and biographical sources when developing your novel.Strategies for incorporating family history and personal anecdotes into creative writing, as demonstrated by McDermott's transformation of a Manhattan ghost story family legend into a publishable manuscript.The reality of the publishing journey, including the persistence required through finding the right agent and working with major publishers like Simon and Schuster.Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free at https://substack.com/@reenitahora and to her YouTube channel to watch the video version of this episode! https://www.youtube.com/@reenymal.Check out her website to stay up-to-date on events, book releases and more! https://reenita.com/.TIMESTAMPS:  00:00 A story inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 party at John McDermott's great aunt's Manhattan house 02:30 Discussion of McDermott's family roots from Wisconsin to Texas and his role at Stephen F Austin State University's creative writing program04:48 Exploring the marriage plot as an inciting incident and how poetic license shapes historical fiction writing 06:03 Navigating permissions and copyright issues when featuring deceased celebrities like Henry Fonda and Charles Addams in fiction09:45 The addition of supernatural fiction elements, including family ghost stories and getting this novel published 15:32 An excerpt from The Last Spirits of Manhattan prologue introducing the blue girl ghost who hangs out in the coal roomKEY TAKEAWAYS: Historical fiction success requires extensive literary research to capture authentic voices and settings, but the magic happens when authors blend documented facts with imaginative storytelling through careful poetic license.The publishing journey for a debut novel often spans decades with multiple manuscript attempts. McDermott's 20-year persistence and four complete manuscripts before finding success with Simon and Schuster demonstrate that timing, craft improvement, and presenting the right idea to the right people all matter.Creative writing drawn from family history creates deeply personal and compelling narratives. By weaving real family members who died from the Spanish influenza into his Manhattan ghost stories, McDermott transforms historical research into emotionally resonant supernatural fiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: John A. McDermott was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. He now serves on the board of directors for the Writers' League of Texas and teaches creative writing at Stephen F. Austin State University. Before teaching, he worked as an actor, bartender, house painter, and advertising copywriter.

John and Scott re-trace the evolution of modern hustle culture to unpack the cult of tech founders, the blurred lines between personal branding and deception, and why irrational self-confidence is both a feature and a bug of startup life. Along the way, the duo riff on everything from J.R. Smith's delusional greatness to Mark Zuckerberg's masculinity arc, fake wellness routines, and the eerie emergence of AI-driven misinformation. John shares what it was like to go toe-to-toe with Jay Shetty, the media's retreat from accountability, and how we're all becoming lone agents in a broken information ecosystem.

If you don't know John McDermott, he's been the guardian of Jimi Hendrix's musical legacy for nearly 30 years. He's the kind of guy with stories you can't Google, insights you can't fake, and a lot of passion for preserving one of rock's greatest icons. We talked about everything from Hendrix's unreleased gems to their upcoming Experience Hendrix tour coming to the Fox Theatre on March 22nd. The Magic of the Fox Theatre First, McDermott talked about his upcoming concert at the Fox Theatre. John said it's one of the best places to perform. "We've played the Fox five times, and the crowd's energy is just incredible, it's not like playing a generic performing arts center where it's just another stop on a subscription series. These fans are passionate. They show up because they love the music." A Lifelong Journey with Jimi Now, how exactly does one become the catalog director for Jimi Hendrix? I asked John, and he dove right in. It started in 1992 when he co-wrote a book called Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight with Eddie Kramer. A year later, John helped produce a tribute album, Stone Free, which raised scholarship funds in Jimi's name through the United Negro College Fund. In the mid-1990s, John helped the Hendrix family win a long legal battle to regain control of Jimi's music. "When they finally won the rights, they asked me to manage the catalog," he explained. "Our first release was in 1997, and I've been doing it ever since." From curating historic releases to creating documentaries, John's helped make sure Hendrix's music remains timeless. How Many Hendrix Songs Are Still Unreleased? Every Hendrix fan has wondered: Is there anything left in the archives? According to John, the answer is, "Yes, but not as much." Over the years, his team has dug deep to release unreleased tracks, documentaries, and live sessions. "We're definitely closer to the end of the archive than we were 20 or 25 years ago," he admitted, "but every now and then, something new surprises us." Case in point? A few years ago, they uncovered a never-before-heard 1967 recording of Hendrix at the Hollywood Bowl. Want to know how early this was? It happened before Are You Experienced? It even dropped in the U.S. That's serious history right there. Why Hendrix Still Resonates When I asked about Hendrix's lasting legacy, John said, "Every generation rediscovers him." From Prince to Stevie Ray Vaughan to John Mayer, Hendrix's influence is woven into the DNA of music. "Jimi's music is timeless," John said. People hear it in movies, commercials, or even on the radio and are driven to find out more. His music speaks for itself—you don't have to hard-sell it." Even in pop culture, Hendrix's impact is everywhere. Quick example? Hulk Hogan famously strutted into the ring to "Voodoo Child." And John lit up when I threw that out there. "Yeah, that's a great example! And people like Paul McCartney still tell stories about their friendship with Jimi on stage. It's amazing how his influence just keeps going." The Experience Hendrix Tour Here's the part you need to know about—the Experience Hendrix tour. If you're even remotely into guitar legends, this is the show for you. John explained why it's such a hit. "It's not just a loose jam session," he said. "It's collaborative. You'll hear the Hendrix songs you know and love, but you'll also discover new artists who bring their own energy to the legacy." The lineup is stacked—think Zakk Wylde, Eric Johnson, and Marcus King, just to name a few. "These artists come because Jimi inspired them in different ways," John added. "It's a common denominator for audiences. People might come in because they're fans of one artist, but by the end of the night, they leave blown away by others." Oh, and if you happen to be at the Fox Theatre on March 22nd? Keep an eye out for surprise appearances. John flat-out said they love throwing unexpected guests into the mix. Hendrix Memorabilia: What's Left? John said Jimi was more of an "off-the-rack" kind of guy when it came to guitars. "He usually had a black Strat, a white Strat, and a Flying V," he shared. "Sometimes a Gibson Les Paul Jr. for blues numbers." Many of Jimi's personal items and stage gear now reside in museums, including the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Seeing them up close makes Hendrix feel real. "His dad, Al Hendrix, wanted these items shared with fans," John said. "It's incredible to see someone connect with a piece of Jimi's history in person." What's Next For The Hendrix Estate? John said the Electric Lady Studios project has been a big focus, "If we find more material that deepens fans' appreciation of Jimi, we'll explore ways to share it." If you're in Detroit on March 22nd, do yourself a favor and Experience Hendrix (literally) at the Fox Theatre. Trust me, this tour isn't just a concert—it's a celebration of a legend. See you there!

Contained on the five vinyl LPs or three CDs in the Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision box set are 39 tracks recorded by Jimi and his band—consisting of bassist Billy Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell—at the studio within the last four months of the guitarist's life. Hendrix was hard at work creating First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, the ambitious double album that would follow his 1968 masterwork Electric Ladyland. Inspired by the possibilities of the new studio, the Experience built classic fare such as “Night Bird Flying,” “Freedom,” and “Dolly Dagger” from the ground up.

During the past few years, NAA has diligently worked to recover damages that housing providers suffered under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) protracted eviction moratorium, which financially damaged rental housing owners and violated rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. On August 7, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided 2-1 that the case move can move forward against the federal government.On this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast, the official podcast of the National Apartment Association, we talk with John McDermott, retired NAA General Counsel, who offers an update on the legal action taken against the unconstitutional government overreach of the CDC's eviction moratorium and walks through the legal framework underpinning the case. Although NAA's efforts have proven successful with this recent appeals court decision, there is still an opportunity for property owners to join the lawsuit and recover business losses attributed to the unlawful CDC eviction moratorium. There is a five-year statute of limitations for possible plaintiffs to bring their claim and this lawsuit is open to all rental housing owners operating in a state or locality under the federal moratorium.

52 West 8th Street in Manhattan is a famous address in the history of music. It's the home of Electric Lady Studios, built by Jimi Hendrix and his collaborators in the late 1960s. The space was designed as a home for Hendrix to have a safe and comfortable environment to record and explore new ideas. However, the studio was only finished shortly before his unexpected death. A new documentary tells the story of Electric Lady's construction as told by the musicians and engineers who worked alongside Hendrix. Director and Hendrix estate archivist John McDermott and architect John Storyk discuss the film, “Electric Lady Studios: A Jimi Hendrix Vision,” opening at the Quad Cinema on August 9.
