John is the CEO of VersusGame, an online prediction money marketplace that allows anyone to play games that ask players to calculate which celebrity will be trending on social media, what business will have a higher stock price, or what cryptocurrency will be worth more. VersusGame's goal is to allow everyone's knowledge to be at play, opening up online betting platforms to everyone. John was influenced as a child by watching his immigrant parents struggle for work. Once sharecroppers in Italy, John's parents had difficulty finding employment after arriving in the United States. While unaware of it as a young child, the understanding of his parents' trouble resonated with him through his formative years. Determined to find a better life, John found entrepreneurship and built a career that fulfills him. John has worked his way up through the startup world across multiple ventures through his resilience and know-how. Read the show notes here: https://bwmissions.com/one-away-podcast/

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to the 2018 edition of The Nightfly. Today we will talk (or complain) about Family and friends as usual; a discussion of legendary mystery novelist Sue Graffton, who died a week ago, and how her inspiration of becoming the Alphabet Mysteries author was how Dave Attell and I first bonded when we met. Yeah, try and figure out that one :) -- and a discussion with our great friend at the Boston Globe, Mr. John Vitti to talk about the ESPN article on everyone's mind leading to possible trouble in paradise with the Patriots. A great way to start off the Nude Year. (yes, I know I wrote nude) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
You will never ever find another podcast like this one. We talk to our friend John Vitti at the Boston Globe about being inside one of the best pictures of the year "Spotlight". Martin Luther King follows puppets on the Merv Griffin show -- it happened, we have clips to prove it. Then a tribute to Robert Stigwood, legendary producer of Grease and the great Saturday Night Fever and, unfortunately, Grease 2. We've got everything you want this week. Take a listen.

This week John Vitti from the Boston Globe Sports department phones in to talk about Tom Brady and other nonsense. I do a jeremy irons imitation and really, what else do you need after that. But ok, throw in my trip to see An American in Paris on broadway with my mom and then run into guys I know after (yipes) and why Scarlett Johansson is ruining the Avengers.
