"MARK STEVENS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" The name MARK STEVENS probably doesn't ring a bell with moviegoers today. However, he's one of those actors who once you see him on screen, you say, “Oh, yeah, THAT guy!” Still, at one time, he was a very in-demand leading man who was always compelling and had a tough-guy likability that brightened up many a hum-drum movie. He may not have reached the upper echelon of fame like contemporaries ALAN LADD or DANA ANDREWS, but he certainly left his mark — particularly in “The Dark Corner” with a pre-TV LUCILLE BALL. Like CHARLES LAUGHTON, DICK POWELL, and IDA LUPINO, he also became a pioneer of the actor-turned-director. Today, we take a look at his long and varied career and celebrate him as our Star of the Month.

Tonight we're chatting with Mark Stevens, author of the new thriller novel NO LIE LASTS FOREVER out in June from Thomas & Mercer, who call NO LIE LASTS FOREVER “Zodiac with a terrifying twist, in a taut thriller from author Mark Stevens about a reformed serial killer and the disgraced journalist he coaxes into finding the imposter trading on his name.” Stevens's book The Fireballer (Lake Union, 2023) was named Best Baseball Novel by Twin Bill Literary Magazine and named one of Best Baseball Books of the Year by Spitball Magazine, and his books Buried by the Roan, Trapline, and Lake of Fire were all finalists for the Colorado Book Award (2012, 2015, and 2016, respectively). Trapline won the Colorado Book Award in 2016 and also received the best genre fiction award from Colorado Authors League.  In September 2016, Stevens was named Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' Writer of the Year, and again in 2023. Stevens hosts a regular podcast for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and has served as president of the Rocky Mountain chapter for Mystery Writers of America.

A Kawerau paper mill has found a new power source as New Zealand struggles with a looming winter power crunch. A newly released briefing to the Minister shows electricity supply is tight, and gas supply needs to be maintained until suitable alternatives are found. Essity's Kawerau Paper Mill has become the first in the world to create a machine that runs entirely on geothermal steam. Essity General Manager Mark Stevens told Kerre Woodham that the main area of benefit is sustainability – with the mill producing the same amount of paper with 66% less carbon output.

Big Town, a prominent long-running radio drama, captured the hearts of listeners with its compelling storylines and captivating characters. At its core, the show featured a corruption-fighting newspaper editor, a role initially portrayed by the renowned actor Edward G. Robinson from 1937 to 1942. During this time, Robinson brought his signature intensity to the role, echoing the conscience-stricken tabloid editor he had portrayed in the film Five Star Final. After Robinson's departure, the lead role was taken over by Edward Pawley from 1943 to 1952. Pawley's interpretation of the editor was more hands-on, actively engaging in crime-fighting endeavors. Under his stewardship, Big Town became a cultural phenomenon, transcending the radio airwaves and captivating audiences through film and television adaptations. The radio program, which aired from 1937 to 1952, featured a talented cast and crew. Edward G. Robinson's portrayal of Steve Wilson, the crusading editor of the Illustrated Press, was complemented by Claire Trevor's portrayal of his reporter sidekick "Lorelei." Over time, the female lead evolved from a society editor to a star crime reporter, providing a conscience to the tabloid-minded Wilson. The radio series achieved immense popularity, consistently ranking among the top radio programs of its time. It boasted a listening audience of between 10 and 20 million people, affirming its widespread appeal. In the realm of film, Big Town made its mark through four movies produced by Paramount Pictures' Pine-Thomas Productions studio. These films, released between 1947 and 1948, starred Phillip Reed as Steve Wilson and Hillary Brooke as Lorelei. All four films were based on radio and screenplays by Maxwell Shane, ensuring continuity with the original source material. Big Town's journey to television began in 1950, offering viewers a live telecast on CBS. The production later transitioned to film after relocating from New York City to Hollywood in 1952. The television series ran until 1956, airing on both CBS and NBC during its six-season run. Throughout its television tenure, Big Town underwent several changes, including the introduction of a documentary style similar to the popular show Dragnet. This shift brought a new level of realism and authenticity to the storytelling, further captivating audiences. The television series featured a talented cast, with Patrick McVey and Mark Stevens portraying Steve Wilson in different seasons. Five actresses graced the role of reporter Lorelei Kilbourne, adding depth and diversity to the character. Big Town's legacy extended beyond its radio and television incarnations. The series was adapted into a comic book published by DC Comics, reaching an even broader audience. The comic book captured the essence of the radio and television shows, bringing the crime-fighting adventures of Steve Wilson and Lorelei Kilbourne to life in a new medium. The enduring appeal of Big Town lies in its timeless themes and relatable characters. The show's exploration of corruption, justice, and the pursuit of truth resonated with audiences, making it a beloved classic in the annals of radio, film, and television. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dwight-allen0/support

You probably know Essity more what's in your house: Purex and Sorbent in your loo and Handee towels in your kitchen. You may also know that this tissue is produced in a mill in Kawerau, central North Island, across the road from the old Tasman Pulp & Paper mill. Perhaps what you didn't know is that by the end of this year, the Essity mill will have ditched gas to run almost all on renewable geothermal steam. This shift will reduce the mill's carbon footprint by 66% compared to 2009, cutting emissions equivalent to taking over 2,200 cars off the road.

Elysia Stevens is a big fan of rom-coms, which will not be a surprise after you read Smelling Daisies. Most would describe her as eccentric in her personality, which really stands out in her choice of attire. She loves to wear fun socks, and every Friday she celebrates "Fabio Friday" by wearing a Fabio T-shirt for all to enjoy (she loves Fabio!).

Kicking off at number five, we revisited Episode 34 with Nigel Moore, titled "Perfect MSP Pricing." This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with the intricacies of MSP pricing strategies. Nigel, the founder of The Tech Tribe, delves into the essentials of structuring your pricing to avoid the all-too-common bespoke deals that can stifle an MSP's growth. We discussed the continual evolution of pricing models and how establishing standard packages can significantly streamline your sales process and client onboarding.  The fourth spot is claimed by Episode 75 with Daniel Welling, discussing how to "Increase the Value of Your MSP." This show is crucial for MSPs considering their exit strategy or simply aiming to enhance their business valuation. Daniel's expertise in M&A shines through as we cover the importance of preparing your MSP for a potential sale from the ground up, emphasising long-term contracts and a robust operational structure to attract serious offers.  Next, at number three, is Episode 125 with my business partner Stuart Warwick, on "Picking Low Hanging Fruit." This episode focuses on the pivotal role of effective account management in not only maintaining but also expanding your client relationships. We outlined a five-step process to refine your account management strategy, ensuring that your business consistently nurtures and grows its existing client base, thereby boosting your profitability without the constant chase for new leads.  The runner-up in our countdown is Episode 182, titled "Help, I Need to Get Out of My Own Way," featuring a heartfelt discussion with Mark Stevens.

Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)? Blyth turns 96 on August 13th and is truly a living legend. Listen this week as we pay tribute with an episode about Ann Blyth's remarkable life and career.

As a contract player for Warner Brothers and Fox, Mark Stevens starred in film noir and dramas alongside the likes of Lucille Ball and Richard Widmark. But even though he was hailed as one of the most promising new stars of Hollywood, his career never really took off. We'll hear Stevens in his one and only appearance on Suspense; he plays a man who walks into the wrong house and into a murder in "Tree of Life" (originally aired on CBS on January 2, 1947). Plus, he recreates one of his screen roles as The Lux Radio Theatre presents The Dark Corner (originally aired on CBS on November 10, 1947).

Martin Kane Private Investigator 1953-10-29 Starring Mark Stevens

Mark Stevens' story begins in the quaint town of Melton Mowbray, known for its pork pies and Stilton cheese, but today, it's also becoming known for Mark1 IT Solutions. Mark's journey is a testament to the challenges and triumphs faced by many in the MSP sector. Joining us on the podcast, Mark openly shares the hurdles he encountered when transitioning from a traditional break-fix IT support mentality to a managed services provider (MSP) model, a shift that required significant changes in both mindset and operations.  During our discussion, Mark Stevens candidly discusses how his business, which he had been leading for about seven years, had only recently begun to identify as an MSP. This shift came with its own set of challenges, particularly as the business approached the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic initially brought a surge in demand for Mark1 IT Solutions' services as businesses scrambled to set up remote work capabilities. However, the reliance on project-based income soon proved unstable, leading Mark to seek external guidance and support.  What makes Mark Stevens' story so impactful is his openness about the personal and professional growth necessary to navigate his business through turbulent times. He shares that a major turning point came when he engaged with various communities and resources, such as CompTIA and Tech Tribe, and eventually our MSP growth hub. This engagement not only broadened his perspective but also embedded him deeper into the MSP community, facilitating a collaborative and supportive environment that was crucial for his development.  Mark's journey is filled with learning experiences, from understanding the importance of monthly recurring revenue to embracing the MSP model fully. He explains how adopting new operational frameworks and focusing on self-development, including insights gained from reading "The Chimp Paradox," helped him reshape his approach to business management. This reshaping was not just about business strategies but also about personal growth, tackling challenges like ego and imposter syndrome that many business owners face.  A significant part of our conversation highlights the value of reaching out for help and how this has been instrumental in Mark Stevens' success. He emphasises the importance of getting out of your own way, a phrase that resonated with him deeply and one that he credits for much of his recent business achievements. This concept of self-awareness and stepping back to allow professional support to guide his decisions has led to substantial improvements in both the operational efficiency and profitability of Mark1 IT Solutions.  Today, Mark1 IT Solutions is not only surviving but thriving, with plans to expand the team further and reach new heights in terms of revenue and service quality. Mark Stevens attributes much of this success to the support structures and networks he has embraced, underscoring the importance of community and expert guidance in the MSP industry.  For any MSPs out there feeling stuck or unsure of the next steps, Mark Stevens' story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the success that comes from seeking help. His journey is a clear illustration of how transformative it can be to get out of your own way and allow structured, expert guidance to lead the way in scaling your business.  Connect on LinkedIn HERE with Ian and also with Stuart by clicking this LINK  And when you're ready to take the next step in growing your MSP, come and take the Scale with Confidence MSP Mastery Quiz.
