October 9, 2022 Maine's Wood Island, about 35 acres in size, is about two miles east of the entrance to the Saco River and less than a mile from the village known as Biddeford Pool. Congress appropriated $5,000 for a lighthouse on Wood Island in March 1806 and the light began service in 1808. The 1808 tower lasted until 1839, when a new 44-foot conical rubblestone tower was built. Keeper Thomas Orcutt's dog, Sailor, achieved widespread fame in the late 1800s and early 1900s because of his habit of pulling a rope with his teeth to sound the station's fog bell for every passing vessel. Wood Island Light Station, Maine. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. In 2003, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation called Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse was formed to care for the light station. The group has been working for a full restoration of the lighthouse tower, keeper's house, and other buildings. In the summer season, boat tours are offered to the island and light station from Biddeford Pool. Keeper Thomas Orcutt's dog, Sailor, became famous for ringing the fog bell at Wood Island.

Richard Parsons, Co-Founder and Martin Harrison, Strategy Director at true. We catch them fresh from the excitement of Cannes 2022, which finished the week before last.  We thought it'd only be right to bring them back on the show to talk about what they've learned so far from the event, which has been something of a landmark since it's the first time there's been an award for B2B creativity.  We discuss: Why this year's Cannes Lions was so important for B2B marketing What work got recognition at Cannes this year Advertising vs product extension vs business models The focus on work around social purpose

My favorite person in the world, my mom, joins me to talk about Colin Hanks' guest starring role on the super popular NCIS. My mom is a big NCIS fan and I'm just a casual watcher when it's on, so we have very different opinions about Hanks' character on the show.

Once upon a time, the brand ruled. Now, obsessed with performance marketing, B2B appears to have consigned brand marketing to the backseat. Is this wise? Richard Parsons, Founder and Managing Director of True, helps unearth the ramifications of such “sole-priority” approaches and nudges us towards restoring brand to its rightful status in the marketing pantheon.

To kick it off right, we wanted to say "top of the mornin' to ye ''' but seeing as how that's just a silly Hollywood invention, we are instead going to say "A hundred thousand welcomes."    Before we get into the meat and potatoes of this episode, I reached out to a friend of ours, Katie, who's father is directly from Ireland. I asked her to see if he had any sort of creepy interactions over there. She also reached out to a cousin who lives over there and I received this message, this morning:   Oh boy I hit the jackpot reaching out to my cousins in Ireland I had no idea about this but here's her message.    Ohhh some that I've heard, well as it happens

In his opinion, nothing is more important than that fame metric which creates memorability, preference and ultimately buying behaviour.   They not only back this up with hard data from Binet and Field, but it’s also born out of their results for clients like Rockwool, Micro Focus, EY and Yell which have resulted in multiple awards wins.   If you are interested in:   The importance of brand and Fame in B2B marketing then you will find this conversation absolutely fascinating.

#10: Fact and fiction is very much woven together when it comes to the Hellfire Club atop Montpelier Hill. It is the mystery surrounding the hunting lodge and the surrounding scenery of Massy's Wood that has visitors return to the landmark countless times. Plans to construct a €15m Dublin Mountains Visitor Centre at the site were recently passed by An Bord Pleanála. Host Hayden Moore speaks to Elizabeth Davidson of Save the Hellfire, Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Ed O'Brien, Cllr Madeleine Johansson, David Power from South Dublin Libraries Local Studies, and Frank Nevin, Director of Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development in the council, about the contentious tourism project.

In 2020 black Americans are worse off than white Americans by every metric. The demand for economic equality has been a rallying cry for the Black Lives Matter movement and a critical gaze is now turning to corporate America, where only four CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are black, all of whom are men. Christiane Amanpour speaks to two men who have lived this reality, Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation, and Richard Parsons, former Chairman and CEO of Time Warner. Then, as Britain continues to address its colonial past, an aptly timed BBC drama “Sitting in Limbo”, has been released. It tells the story of the 2017 Windrush scandal, when a generation of British subjects from the Caribbean were wrongly detained or deported as part of the British government’s ‘hostile environment policy’. Star of the drama Patrick Robinson gives his perspective on the present moment, and the work that Britain still needs to do. And then, in 2018 Michel Martin spoke to author Robin DiAngelo about her book “White Fragility”. Finding even greater relevance today, the book is back on numerous best-seller lists and in an extended cut of the original interview, they discuss unconscious biases and why white people are often defensive when it comes to talking about race.    

As nationwide civil unrest continues, Richard Parsons, one of America’s first Black Fortune 500 CEOs, presents business leaders with options for challenging the economic status quo. Parsons, the former Chairman of Citi, CBS, Time Warner, and the LA Clippers, underscores executive accountability to society as well as to shareholders. Harlem Children’s Zone incoming CEO Kwame Owusu-Kesse joins legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller for a conversation about reinvesting profits into community infrastructure to disrupt systemic inequality. Druckenmiller recounts his investments--wins and losses--but considers his partnership with HCZ to be his best yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Washington Post also reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered a network of Twitter trolls to attack Kahshoggi’s viewpoints in the days, weeks and months leading up to his disappearance. Why is Softbank’s CEO still warm on the Saudis? Several companies have decided to distance themselves from Saudis, following the apparent murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

The New York Times has the report. Russian-linked Twitter bots Some bots connected to Russia’s Internet Research Agency have also been attempting to interfere with U.S. elections, according to Twitter. Apparently the bots use platforms of automation companies like IFTTT  to quickly disseminate tweets. IFTTT says it’s investigating.

In my opinion, if you're a public speaker, you are also an entertainer… yes your primary purpose is likely to be to educate, inform, or inspire, but without being able to grab people's attention, to keep them interested and stimulated, whatever message you have is likely to get lost. So, it stands to reason we could probably learn a lot from professional entertainers, which leads me to this week's guest, Richard Parsons.

Timothy is originally from England, but now lives in Alaska with his wife, Sandi. The two of them met online, and are the writing team behind the Shadows Over Seattle series of short stories, and upcoming novels. "Under A Hunter's Moon" is the first in the "Shadows Over Seattle: Prequels" short story series. Richard Parsons is a lupine, one of the many breeds of shape-shifters living in Seattle. Mortal legends of his kind call them werewolves. When a traveling exhibition returns to Seattle, Richard takes a night time visit, with plans that go beyond seeing a particular display. However, he is unprepared for the memories and emotions that come flooding back.  

A former Chairman of Citigroup and former CEO of AOL Time Warner, Dick Parsons has tackled some of the toughest jobs of any American corporate executive in the past 25 years. In this episode of Fortune Unfiltered, Parsons explains why he’s always the person who gets called after disaster strikes. “I’m attracted to that – it keeps your attention,” Parsons says of leading in a crisis. “ It concentrates the mind as Pat Moynihan used to say. If you’ve got serious issues you need to be alert [and] alive in the moment. I’m not the world’s best steady-state manager...not a particularly good one because my mind wanders.” In addition to the AOL and Citigroup jobs, Parsons took over as interim CEO of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers in May 2014 amid the Donald Sterling scandal. But all those professional tribulations pale in comparison to the battle Parsons is fighting today. About two years ago he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer for which there are a variety of treatments but currently no cure. Parsons talks frankly about his battle with cancer, his management philosophy and his reflections on being one of the first African-Americans to run a Fortune 500 company.

Richard Parsons, interim CEO of the LA Clippers, joins Bill Rhoden on Sports to talk about basketball, jazz, Rockafeller, wine and everything in between.
