To begin the season, we sit down with Sammy Davis, PhD, CSP, Gr.IOSH—Vice President of Safety & Security at Papa John's International. Like many safety professionals, Sammy's path to safety wasn't a straight line. Originally setting out to become a trauma surgeon before working as a paramedic and eventually in the construction industry, Sammy received a letter from Indiana University's safety program that launched a career completely different than the one he intended and reshaped how he leads, mentors, and empowers others. Join us for this episode to hear how that unexpected pivot has led to a remarkable career, why Sammy thinks understanding the business side of safety is crucial, and why he trains his employees to one day take his job.

Mein heutiger Gast ist einer der größten Stars aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum überhaupt! Peter Kraus ist Sänger, Entertainer, Schauspieler, Produzent und Showbiz-Legende. In seiner inzwischen acht Dekaden umspannenden Karriere begeistert der ewig junggebliebene Rock'n-Roller und Swing-Musiker seine Fans. Jetzt ist Peter Kraus mit dem Live-Programm „Rockin' 85! Das große Geburtstagskonzert“ zum letzten Mal im Rahmen einer großen Tournee auf deutschen Bühnen unterwegs. Wir sprechen über Lebensphasen als Einzelgänger, zuckerarme Ernährung, Karrieretiefs, Gendern, seine Sorgen bezüglich des Siegeszugs der künstliche Intelligenz, Taylor Swift und Sammy Davis, Jr. - und die Frage, warum er auch mit 85 Jahren den alten Mann nicht reinlassen möchte. Peter Kraus verrät, warum er nach einem Unfall in einer TV-Show vor sieben Jahren an schlimmen Panikattacken litt, wieso er sich im Verlauf seiner so langen Karriere niemals politisch geäußert hat, was genau ihn außer seiner Ehefrau noch so frisch und fit hält und weshalb auch er trotz seiner bis heute großen Vitalität der Meinung ist, dass alt werden nichts für Feiglinge ist. Ich wünsche dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Peter Kraus!

Send us a textOn today's episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, we are going to the greater Cleveland area to chat with Bestselling Author, Drummer, and former Police Chief Rick Porrello.Rick's first career was as a jazz drummer. At the age of 18, he got his first big break when he started touring internationally with Sammy Davis, Jr. Despite a skyrocketing music career, Rick traded his sticks for a badge. What followed was a 33-year career as a police officer in Greater Cleveland, with the last ten of those years as chief of police.As an organized crime historian, Rick Porrello's perspective is an intriguing one. He began writing his first book during family research into the murders of his grandfather and three uncles, all of whom, he learned, were mob leaders killed in Prohibition-era violence. The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia quickly became a regional favorite.His second book caught Hollywood's eye before it was published. Hollywood snapped up To Kill the Irishman—the War that Crippled the Mafia and turned it into the movie Kill the Irishman, starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, and Val Kilmer.Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation where we talk about everything from being on tour with Sammy Davis Jr, becoming a police officer and eventually becoming the chief of police, researching his family's organized crime roots, to writing bestselling books that become movies. In today's episode, we discuss:·      Playing the drums for Sammy Davis Jr. ·      Why Rick became a police officer and his career trajectory.·      How and why, he became a police chief. ·      Why are we, as a culture, so fascinated with organized crime?·      Omerta. What it is and what it means in mob culture.·      His father's pushback when writing the book, “The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia Corn Sugar and Blood.”.·      Elliot Ness and The Untouchables cleaning up police corruption in Cleveland.·      The book, “Kill the Irishman.” The story of Cleveland Mob Boss Danny Greene.

On this bonus episode of Everything Fab Four, we trace two television icons from the 1970s—both very different in terms of target audience, but united in the inspiration that they drew from the Beatles.  First is the New Zoo Revue, the children's TV show that was broadcast from 1972 through 1977. Designed as a musical comedy, it ran for 196 episodes and imparting valuable life lessons to the program's legions of child viewers. The show was hosted by husband and wife duo Doug and Emmy Jo. On the New Zoo Revue, they interacted with an array of loveable costumed characters, including Henrietta Hippo and Freddie the Frog.  At the other end of the TV demographic spectrum is George Schlatter, the founder of network television's groundbreaking Laugh-In. The hilarious sketch comedy program ran for more than 140 episodes between 1968 and 1973. With Dan Rowan and Dick Martin as Schlatter's irreverent hosts, Laugh-In thrived on its moveable feast of guest stars, including the likes of Jack Benny, Johnny Carson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Phyllis Diller and more. Laugh-In also launched the careers of series regulars Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin. Last year, Schlatter released his memoir, Still Laughing: A Life in Comedy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/everythingfabfour/support

Jerry Jeff Walker, the singer and writer behind the classic hit “Mr. Bojangles,” never would have expected that his song, inspired by an experience in a New Orleans jail cell, would make Richard Nixon cry, or that it would be covered by Sammy Davis, Jr., the entertainment giant and, controversially, a supporter of Nixon.This work, told through the perspective of writer, performer and listener, traces these three men's overlapping journeys through the American consciousness. Chapters discuss the history of Walker's song, Davis's rise from rags to riches, Nixon's journey from grocer's son to president, and more.ABOUT Ryan B. CaseRyan B.

Oh, and there's a Sammy Davis, Jr story! Head into May-PE with Too Much Apes-formation!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jackson, active in the fight for equal rights, had tried multiple times to register to vote in Alabama and was denied each time.When Jimmie Lee Jackson saw his frail 80-year-old grandfather rudely turned away from the registrar's office in 1962 after attempting to register to vote in Marion, Ala. He knew he had to join the civil rights movement.On Feb. 18, 1965, he was among more than 200 people participating in a night march in Marion. Before they had walked a block, they were confronted by state troopers and the police chief, who ordered them to disperse.Jackson and his mother huddled for safety in a café. When Jackson's grandfather entered the café bloodied and beaten, the young man tried to take him to a hospital. But they were quickly shoved back by a crowd of club-swinging troopers and terrified marchers. Another trooper pulled his pistol and shot Jackson in the stomach. It was two hours before Jackson arrived at the hospital in Selma. He died eight days later.At one of two services for Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,000: “Jimmie Lee Jackson's death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality. His death must prove that unmerited suffering does not go unredeemed.”© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!2024 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
