Rick Bassman's & Mina Martinez' PIT BULL PODCAST, with guest Smashface Rescue's Kyle Schwab - Kyle Schwab is recognized by many industry professionals as the world-leading expert in rehabilitating dangerous dogs, and for his passionate advocacy for our beloved bully breed. Kyle is known far and wide for his commitment to defending our bullied dogs –as is evidenced by his many arrests—but is equally known for his seemingly limitless love for dogs everywhere, and for his tireless work to educate others, in the quest to make our world a better place for our canine companions.

Rick Bassman's & Erica “Jungle Grrrl” Porter's CANCER WARRIOR PODCAST presents WRESTLING WITH CANCER, with guests Rick “Black Bart” Harris, Darnell “BLK Jeez” Kittrell, Patricia “Sunny” Summerland & “The Cancer Fighter” Sean Wachter An incredible group of notable pro wrestling personalities comes together with the goal of imparting strength and hope to anyone facing their own battle with cancer, or really, struggling with any major challenge for which they could use inspiration. In this conversion, Jungle Grrrl, BLK Jeez, The Cancer Fighter, Sunny, and Black Bart are all super-candid and relatable, and wide open to sharing their struggle, and what they've learned as they battle cancer, and kick its ass. Further, as each is a big, entertaining personality in their own right, and while you may not automatically put the words “cancer” and “fun” together, I'm confident that anyone who watched and listens to Wrestling with Cancer, in addition to being inspired, will have a great time.

At the top of his game, Rich Bassman was a high-ranking Disney executive, big-time concert promoter, TV and Movie producer and owned Professional Wrestling and Mixed martial Arts brands & fighting gyms. But at the bottom he battled Stage 4 testicular and lung cancer, homelessness, poverty, addiction and was shot, stabbed and bitten. So, who and where is he now? Rick Bassman is an American entrepreneur, talent agent, author and podcaster among other things. He is unlike anyone you've probably ever met – in his words, he is a contradiction in terms. Someone who is just as apt at digging a bullet out of his belly as he is to cry at a love story.  He counts, among his best friends, career criminals, environmentalists, hard-drinking street brawlers and business leaders. But as he says, they all have one thing in common, they are good people. In this Long Leash, Rick talks candidly about his near-death in his teens, the day his mother left and never came home, his love of dogs, love for life and his mission to change perceptions about Pit Bulls. About Rick Bassman  Like his guests on his podcast Talking Tough, Rick Bassman was also at the top of his world. Also like his guests, he crashed to the bottom in spectacular fashion. From being the highest-ranking executive ever hired by The Walt Disney Company without a college degree and winning an Emmy Award, to travelling the world with artists like Guns N Roses, to owning his own successful Pro Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts brands. And his “highs” were always interspersed with “lows…” including Stage 4 cancer, the loss of many close to him, countless street fights, a wrecked spine, life-threatening infections which led him to choose three decades-long depression, homelessness and addiction. And also like his Guests, Rick is rising again, taking responsibility for his life, consciously finding an ever-widening path to peace and spirituality, and giving his all to be of service.

Show NotesRick Bassman was born in Northridge, California.  Rick had some major trials as a young man, chiefly being given a terminal cancer diagnosis.  Rick was not expected to survive the year, but he did.  Rick beat cancer and went on to pursue his dreams of being in the entertainment industry.  Rick started Bassman Productions which created and organized various events, including concerts and shows with such bands as The Clash, The B52's, The Go Go's and more. While working for Disney, Rick won an Emmy for his work on the CBS special, Flash Back.A life long fan of pro-wrestling, Rick dived into the industry by assembling a “dream team” of wrestlers called Power Team USA, which featured members who each embodied the USA in some way.  Among the Alumni of Power Team USA were individuals such as Sting and Ultimate Warrior, who became some of the biggest, most recognizable names in pro-wrestling history.  Rick's pro-wrestling promotion, Ultimate Pro Wrestling, and wrestling school, Ultimate University, launched the careers of many of the top names in pro-wrestling, and was the top place for the major companies to scout and recruit talent.  Rick has had his ups and downs in life, and is very open and honest about his journey.Rick fell into the pitfalls of addiction and lost his fortune more than once.  He survived another terminal diagnosis.  At one point Rick was homeless and living in his car.  He always found a way out though.  Rick's resilience and fortitude was continuously tested, and his many tribulations forged the character and strength of the man he is today.  Currently Rick resides in the beautiful mountains of Maui with his pack of pit-bulls.  He is an author, having published his memoir called Little Big Man.  He is the host of the podcast Talking Tough, which dives into the toughest times of some of the strongest people in the world.  Rick works with actress Linda Blair in bully breed rescue called Linda Blair's Worldheart Foundation, and is an outspoken advocate for the breed.  Rick started a movement called #BeGood, which he and some of the toughest men in the sports entertainment industry work to create a kinder world.To follow or contact Rick use the links below:www.rickbassman.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rickbassman  https://www.facebook.com/groups/wewinnowTwitter: @rick_bassmanInstagram: @rick_bassman @talkingtoughpodcastFor the Talking Tough Podcast: https://www.talking-tough.comTo get Rick's book, Little Big Man, go to: http://rickbassman.com/book/Products mentioned on the show:KETO CHOW: https://shop.ketochow.xyz/?aff=81&ref=carriebrown&utm_source=link&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=carriebrownRedmond's Real Salt: https://shop.redmond.life?afmc=carriebrown  Code: carriebrown (15% discount)Be sure to rate, subscribe and leave a comment!To support the show and gain access to private groups, rewards, swag, and become a Kitchen or Fatty Joe Show Rockstar, use these links:http://www.patreon.com/thefattyjoeshowor http://www.patreon.com/carriebrownCheck out our website at http://www.thefattyjoeshow.comIf you want to sport some Fatty Joe Show swag like t-shirts coffee mugs and other cool items, go to:https://www.zazzle.com/collections/the_fatty_joe_show-119044829655147361?rf=238386382098264295For recipes, articles, product discounts, Cookbooks, and Cooking Masterclasses go to: http://www.carriebrown.comCarrie Brown Masterclasses:
