SUB TO THE PPM PATREON SO KLONNY GOSCH'S CORK BOARD LABOR OF LOVE CAN CONT FOR ANOTHER 100 EPISODES (AND GAIN ACCESS TO "SYSTEME ZAHAROFF II"):patreon.com/ParaPowerMappingIN CELEBRATION OF 100 EPISODES OF PPM, I am joined by SEBBE for a synchronized dive into the wilderness of mirrors that is the Balkans-trotting, death-peddling life of Basil Zaharoff, "the mystery man of Europe" whose blood money fortune rivaled those of Rockefeller and Henry Ford. We excavate how Zaharoff was a prototypical deep political figure foreshadowing more modern underworld ne'er-do-wells and sex-crazed arms traders like Jeffrey Epstein, Adnan Kashoggi, Viktor Bout, Sarkis Soghanalian, Efraim Diveroli, Robert Maxwell, etc. We also draw a number of Erik Jan Hanussen symmetries, convenient considering a likely candidate for a character partly patterned after him in Shadow Ticket.This is the first entry in the SCIF SESSIONS featuring past guests, friends, and Cork Board Cadre members. I initially planned to release a monster episode in call-in special style, but as I got a number of sessions under my belt, it became apparent that a 20 hour or so episode would be prohibitive. So instead, I will be dropping the conversations in discrete installments in between our regular programming. Lots of great material coming at you.File under: parallels with our Shadow Ticket exegesis by way of Zedzed's relationship with British intelligence and Viennese manse, which evoke MI3b agents Pips and Alf Quarrender; Zaharoff's ward Tereza Damala's amorous relations with Gabriele d'Annunzio also evoking ST; his remote cameo in Against the Day via purchasing agent Viktor Mulciber, who is pursuing the Q-Weapon at Zaharoff's behest (which harnesses time as means of violence), his latter attempts to sell it to the Japanese, and Clive Crouchmas' thwarted scheme to sex traffick the scarlet strumpet Dahlia Rideout to the Lord of War, a bribe seeking to tempt his fabled appetite for redheaded Babalonian women; Hergé, Tintin, and Basil Bazarov lampooning the int'l man of mystery; the varying accounts of Zaharoff's early life and heritage, whether Greek, Turkish, Russian Jew, etc. etc.; his criminal adolescence as a member of an arsonry gang cum fire department, a racket in Constantinople where they would burn down wealthy homes and extort payment and which is right on theme with our recent history of class violence, organized crime, racketeering, and transformismo; his time as a brothel tout; human trafficker in Galway, Ireland, sending girls to MasSUSchusetts textile mills; bigamist marrying a dame in Philly; confidence artist; etc.; there are myriad legends, some of which we'll unpack in Pt. II; all trails eventually merge with Zaharoff's employment as a Nordenfelt machine gun salesman; which leads to his relationship with machine gun manufacturer Hiram Maxim; the Rothschilds connection; PM David Lloyd George; negotiations to bribe the Young Turks and Enver Pasha into abandoning the Central Powers circa WWI; and much much more. I am doing my best to ward off burnt-outage, but I think that is sufficient for liner notes for this second. A second part, solo, and with some research revolving around a possible outcropping of the Zaharoff network amounting to a Nazi - Z i o n i s t gun running ring in Palestine in the late '30s and which I'm actually quite giddy over and which may well be relatively novel and which certainly expands upon past points of interest... will follow in the morning.

In this powerful and introspective episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with award-winning filmmaker, director, and lifelong creative Jordan Crafton for one of the most vulnerable and inspiring conversations of the season. From his early years as a restless kid searching for belonging, to finding artistic refuge in jazz and storytelling, to becoming a Tribeca Film Festival winner and sought-after visual creative, Jordan's journey is a testament to perseverance, faith, and relentless belief in purpose.Jordan opens up about how the arts first saved his life, offering him a sense of expression he couldn't find anywhere else. As he shares, creativity was the one place he felt fully understood. That spark carried him through years of uncertainty, experimentation, and self-discovery. But it wasn't talent alone that shaped him. It was discipline, faith, and the courage to build a life outside of the expectations placed on him. The conversation navigates Jordan's experience as a Black creative in an industry marked by both opportunities and contradictions, and how he continues to redefine his artistic identity through every chapter of life.One of the most compelling sections of the episode dives into the season of transition Jordan is currently walking through. He opens up about reconnecting with the younger version of himself, the one who believed without hesitation, dreamed without limits, and saw obstacles as invitations instead of barriers. Through that rediscovery came one of his most meaningful pieces of work: the Brooklyn Santa fiction podcast, a project born from fasting, prayer, and a deep need for clarity when his career hit a period of unsettling stillness. For Jordan, returning to vision meant returning to God's voice, not the noise of the industry.Listeners also get a gripping look into how Jordan landed his earliest major opportunities, including his long-running creative partnership with Nick Cannon. The story is filled with resourcefulness, persistence, and boldness, from mailing DVDs and critiques to chasing connections across New York. What emerges is a clear portrait of someone who refuses to wait for permission to pursue destiny.Throughout the episode, Jordan and Luis explore themes like creative discipline, identity, purpose, and the unseen emotional layers behind ambition. They reflect on working out as a mental health anchor, how childhood gifts often shape adult calling, and why faith continues to be the stabilizing force behind Jordan's decisions. With candor and humor, Jordan breaks down the misconceptions of success and shares how his commitment to staying grounded has kept him aligned with who he wants to become.Some of the episode's standout highlights include:Jordan's reflections on faith, fasting, and spiritual alignmentHow fearlessness shaped his early filmmaking experimentsThe discipline routines that keep him sharp, creative, and focusedLessons from working alongside major artists and entertainersWhy Brooklyn Santa became a turning point in his creative purposeNavigating ambition without losing integrity or self-awarenessListeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to pursue artistry with intention, how to stay committed when life plateaus, and why purpose often requires returning to the childlike belief we abandon along the way. Jordan's story isn't just a behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment world. It's an invitation to examine your own calling, your own doubts, and the gifts you may be overlooking.To stay connected, follow host Luis Guzman on all major platforms under I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman.

Bill Maher kicks back with John Malkovich for a candid conversation that jumps from Death of a Salesman and his new series Bad Monkey to his unexpected love of classical-music collaborations—and why so much theater ends up “a misery.” Malkovich opens up about his Leave-It-to-Beaver childhood, his 82nd Airborne environmentalist father, getting beaten as a kid, and the lingering feeling he'll never quite measure up. Along the way, he and Bill veer into AI, driverless cars, nightmare hotels, and that golden window of being born after antibiotics but before the robots take over, with a detour to a great story about how Con Air came to be, as well as Bill's unabashed love for In the Line of Fire.

The effort, by President Trump, to make America come out on top in every transaction may seem entirely laudable. But there comes a point when the other side of those transactions begins to doubt whether there's any benefit for them. As any good salesman knows, buyers will walk away from any "deal" that offers little or nothing. Advertise to the world, as the President is doing, that we're going to make a giant profit, and global buyers will think what we're selling is too expensive.

Cuban Link is more than just a name in hip hop—he's a storyteller, a survivor, and an artist with a legacy rooted in both pain and perseverance. In this raw, unfiltered episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Cuban Link to trace the incredible journey from escaping Cuba as a child during the Mariel boatlift to becoming a lyrical force in the Bronx during the golden era of hip hop.At just five years old, Felix Delgado—known to the world as Cuban Link—boarded a crowded boat from Havana to the U.S., escaping political oppression alongside his family. That harrowing journey, filled with danger, violence, and even sharks in the open sea, became the foundation of a life built on survival. From a chaotic refugee camp in Key West to the gritty streets of the South Bronx, Cuban Link's story unfolds like a movie—but it's all real.This episode dives deep into the moments that shaped him—as a man, an artist, and a loyal brother to the late, great Big Pun. Listeners will hear how a chance meeting on a Bronx basketball court sparked one of hip hop's most iconic friendships. Their bond went beyond music—it was a brotherhood forged in shared dreams, competitive spirit, and lyrical respect.From their days freestyling in the streets to forming the Full Eclipse Crew, Cuban Link and Big Pun sharpened each other's skills long before the world knew their names. Eventually, their talent caught the attention of Fat Joe, leading to Cuban's involvement with Terror Squad. But as fame rose, so did tensions. Cuban Link doesn't shy away from discussing the public fallout with Fat Joe, the internal politics of the industry, and the personal heartbreak that came after Pun's death.You'll also hear about:Cuban Link's early rap name (Phil Ski) and his musical evolutionWhy his dad's criminal past actually saved their family during the Mariel exodusHow growing up in Puerto Rico and then the Bronx influenced his voice as an MCHis academic life—graduating with an 85 GPA and even going to college—while living a double life in the streetsThe real story behind the verse he gave to Big Pun for “Still Not a Player”How he went from working overnight shifts to quitting on the spot to appear in his first major music videoThis episode is a time capsule of 90s hip hop, Latino culture in America, and the tension between art and industry. Cuban Link opens up about the joy of early success, the bitterness of betrayal, and the pride of knowing he never compromised his pen. From cracking jokes with Pun at funerals to being name-dropped in some of the era's most iconic verses, his stories are vivid, emotional, and unforgettable.Whether you grew up blasting Capital Punishment on your Walkman or are just discovering the depth of East Coast hip hop history, this episode is required listening. It's more than nostalgia—it's a meditation on what it means to stay true to your art, your story, and your roots.Want to support the show or get involved?Follow I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman wherever you get your podcasts.Leave a rating or review to help others discover the show.Connect with host Luis Guzman and stay updated on future episodes by visiting our official site or subscribing to our newsletter.For behind-the-scenes stories, guest updates, and episode extras, join our mailing list and follow us on all major platforms.This is not just another hip hop podcast.

From graffiti tags in Queens to cakes for J.Lo, Aerosmith, and the Mets, Don Donerunno's story is anything but ordinary. In this milestone 50th episode, we sit down with The Cake Don himself—a true late bloomer who found his calling at 41 and built a thriving custom cake business from the ground up.Born and raised in Whitestone, Queens, Don Donerunno always knew he was an artist. But it wasn't until a friend asked him to make a cake—on a whim—that his entire life trajectory changed. That first cake led to a viral Facebook post, which sparked orders, which snowballed into a full-fledged business. Fifteen years later, he's worked with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Sebastian Maniscalco, Shaquille O'Neal, the Wahlbergs, and Aerosmith—and he did it all without a formal culinary background or startup funding.This episode isn't about frosting and fondant. It's about art, resilience, trauma, healing, and finding your lane—no matter how long it takes to get there. At 57, Don reflects on what it means to finally feel alive doing the work he was always meant to do. He opens up about the anxiety attacks, financial risk, and personal transformation that marked the early years of his business. And he gets real about shedding ego, working with intention, and becoming the kind of man his daughters can be proud of.We dive into:How starting over at 41 unlocked a lifelong creative passionThe unexpected role of graffiti, hip hop, and Queens street culture in shaping his artistic identityWhat it really takes to build a successful small business with no safety netThe power of social media—without chasing viralityAyahuasca, ego death, and how healing work changed his leadership styleCustomer service as art, and why emotional intelligence is key to brand longevityDon also shares:Why he doesn't chase trends—and how that's helped him build a sustainable businessHow being authentic online has earned him lifelong customers (and surprise celebrity calls)The lessons he learned from panic attacks, financial pressure, and family responsibilitiesWhy he measures every decision by its impact on his daughtersWhat it means to be “an addition to someone's tradition” rather than a flash-in-the-pan trendIf you're a creative, entrepreneur, or anyone feeling like it's “too late” to start over—this one's for you. Don's story proves that it's never too late to align your work with your purpose, never too late to find your people, and never too late to build something that lasts. His energy is calm, his insights are real, and his commitment to showing up with integrity is magnetic.This episode is also a powerful reminder that your “big break” might not be loud—it might start with a single cake, a Facebook post, or a friend who sees your gift before you do.Whether you're dreaming of launching something new or already knee-deep in the grind, Don's wisdom hits home. It's about craft, consistency, and choosing real connection over empty hype.Enjoying the podcast?

In this powerful and deeply human episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with a returning guest who's more than just a local legend—he's a living symbol of resilience, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Meet Al Santillo, the owner of Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza in Elizabeth, New Jersey, a family business with over a century of history and flavor baked into every slice.Al's story has everything: generational legacy, loss, community redemption, and the unwavering pursuit of mastery. Earlier this year, a devastating fire tore through Santillo's beloved pizzeria, threatening to end a business that had become both a cultural landmark and a culinary icon. But where many would have folded, Al got to work. And in this episode, he shares exactly what it took to rebuild—not just the physical space, but the spirit behind the oven.From his old-school bread route days as a 7-year-old hustling loaves door to door, to hospital stays and near-death experiences, Al opens up like never before. He walks us through the fire on January 6th, the aftermath, and how the community—including Barstool's Dave Portnoy—stepped up in an incredible way to support him. Portnoy's viral pizza reviews and emergency fundraiser campaign gave Santillo's a second chance, but it's Al's grit, wisdom, and work ethic that make this comeback story unforgettable.In this episode, we dive into:How Santillo's Pizza became a national treasure through word-of-mouth and artisan-level qualityThe brutal reality of zoning laws, insurance headaches, and rebuilding a historic oven brick by brickWhy every bite of his pizza tastes different—and why that matters to people who care about foodAl's reflections on work ethic, discipline, and what his father taught him about worry and purposeHis time in the Air Force, how military service shaped his mindset, and why legacy matters more than everHow modern tech (from Instagram to exhaust fan specs) is shaping old-world businesses in new waysWhether you're a creative, a business owner, a foodie, or someone navigating your own comeback, this conversation will resonate deeply. Al's philosophy is simple but powerful: “Pizza is my art. I make it, you like it, and that's it.” But behind that simplicity is a lifetime of sacrifice, hard-earned lessons, and deep roots in a way of life that's becoming increasingly rare.You'll also hear wild dream sequences from his post-surgery recovery, insights into artisan pizza techniques, and stories that span generations—from door-to-door bread deliveries in the ‘60s to the city council meetings of today. Al doesn't hold back. His words are unfiltered, thoughtful, and often funny in that classic Jersey way. You'll come for the pizza lore—but you'll stay for the soul.If you've ever wondered what it takes to keep a small business alive for three generations, this episode is your blueprint. It's also a masterclass in humility, resilience, and what it means to truly love your work. Al Santillo isn't just making pizza—he's preserving a culture, a community, and a way of doing business that doesn't cut corners or chase trends. And we need more of that in the world.Like what you heard?

Ron Popeil, inventor of The Pocket Fisherman, the Amazing Smokeless Ashtray, and the Inside-The-Shell Egg Scrambler, was (satirically) awarded an Ignoble Award for Consumer Engineering on 7th November, 1993. But the ‘Infomercial King' had spun an enviable career from his talent for selling; from humble beginnings shilling vegetable choppers on the shop floor of Woolworth's to establishing Ronco, a $55 million ‘As Seen On TV' company that eventually went bankrupt.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider Popeil's pathological hatred of runny egg whites and reveal an award-winning way to collect samples of whale snot. But wait, there's more! They also talk about the magic price point for Popeil's inventions. It's just $19.99, so ACT QUICKLY...

Daniel Logan arrives in Studio 809 this week to chat with Nick about his life's journey from growing up in Colorado Springs, his time in the Air Force, living with PTSD, understanding his father's creative gifts and becoming an artist. It's an at-times heavy, but always thought-provoking conversation about art, being creative and how we can validate and build the local arts community here in Colorado Springs.Yeah, that did just sorta come out like a pretty generic-sounding statement. Look, it's a dope conversation, that's all I gotta say. There are plenty of feels to be felt in here.

“A Bad Day For Sales” by Fritz Leiber: A grinning mechanical salesman roams the streets, desperately trying to make a sale—unaware that the world around him has just ended.Originally published by Galaxy Science Fiction, July 1953

This week, Jason is joined by a serial entrepreneur who has built four of the most successful environmental service businesses in North America, David Royce! David is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental providing pest solutions to thousands of cities in 34 states. David's companies have been highlighted in national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine. In 2015, David was awarded the Earnest Young National Entrepreneur of the Year award.  David shares his journey from knocking on doors as a pest control salesman to becoming Rookie of the Year by mastering sales through relentless study. He breaks down the art of closing deals, why perfecting your pitch is everything, and how taking initiative—like creating a training manual—helped him dramatically increase his earnings summer after summer. David also dives into why “unsexy” jobs are underrated, how he nearly bankrupted his business before scaling it nationally, and the ways Tony Hsieh of Zappos influenced his approach to company culture. He opens up about his biggest career mistake, the importance of mastering sales as a lifelong skill, how to manage newfound wealth, what he looks for (and avoids) when hiring, and what's next on his entrepreneurial journey. Plus, he shares his best advice for anyone looking to build a successful business from the ground up. David reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
