Cris Cohen talks with drummer Sandy Gennaro (Cyndi Lauper / Joan Jett) about his new book, "Beat The Odds (in Business & Life)". They discuss:- Surviving and thriving even in an environment as unstable as the music business- Belief, Enthusiasm, Attitude, Tenacity, Service- Applying the lessons of the book in the internet age- And more

Wow. Just wow! As great as it was to sit down with my old pal, renowned drummer, Sandy Gennaro, in August, today may be a game changer for me. Sure, we talked career… Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Bo Didley, Johnny Winter, Pat Travers, but this time we dug deep into his personal relationships with each of them, their style of banding or bonding as it were. Fascinating. Great stories, all. The highlights for me were talking about Sandy's 38-year marriage and what makes it still thrive, joyfully. Lessons learned there. He said exactly what I needed to hear. Likewise, when discussing what prompted his latest career shift, much like the seemingly simple random act of kindness that prompted his life-changing gig with Cyndi, a more recent momentary act of thoughtful, attentive, generosity, led to a whole new beginning as a speaker and author, which is exploding with rewards. I paid Sandy's example forward, immediately following the Live, whilst speaking at a meeting of entrepreneurs. Not seeking any return or reward, one came totally out of left field. It works when I work it. Once again this time with Sandy was thoughtful, insightful, inspiring, motivating, and crazy fun. Seeking a little push in the right direction?

Sandy Gennaro Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson I feel like I went “home.” Sitting down with Sandy Gennaro after a 30-year abyss was a walk down the wild side of memory lane and just crazy fun. Having a bunch of our old cohorts from back in the day along for the ride made it that much funner. Sandy took us from Staten Island, getting ignited by The Beatles, local giggin' and day jobs to LA, meeting an idol, erring' at a major audition, helping said idol get that gig, Michael Boloton - not a misspelling, before he was Bolton, Pat Travers, playing arenas, to playing with an unknown Cyndi Lauper, who exploded on their first tour, getting that gig thanks to Sandy's kindness to a stranger. A recurring theme in his story. Great stories along the way, opening for Queen for months at the height of it all, The Monkees, Davy, and Micky, solo as well, Joan Jett… we got stopped there, the time flew and Sandy had another show to do. We talked family, his marriage which has thrived for 30+ years, his daughter living her dream, she's had a great teacher, and Sandy's been a masterful manifester. His recently dropped, Beat the Odds in Business & Life, which is filled with more great stories, how he did and does what he does, and how we can, too. You can get a signed copy with a pair of sticks, at https://sandygennaro.com/beat-the-odds-products/ - Sandy gives good signage! It's how his career kind of began. It's all in there. There was much laughter, smiles from face end to face end, warm remembrances, an all-around great time. There's so much more to talk about - we'll be back. Part Two is promised. Part 1s don't get better. Here's the discussed video of Sandy on Carson playing Stump The Band https://bit.ly/3q0L0Ey - killer!

Veteran drummer Sandy Gennaro talks about playing with the likes of Cyndi Lauper, the Monkees, Bo Diddley, Johnny Winter, Benny Mardones and more, and how random acts of kindness can pay big dividends down the road.

Sandy Gennaro grew up on the outskirts of New York City and today lives in Nashville, TN. In 1965 he purchased his first drum set for $383. As the saying goes, the rest is history. In a career that has spanned over 50 years, Sandy has toured with some of the biggest names in music such as Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett, Bo Diddley, The Monkees, Michael Bolton, and others. But it was a random act of kindness and taking a few moments to speak with a fan that opened a huge door in Sandy's life.  Today Sandy is in his seventh decade and still plays with Rock United, an 80s cover band. Yet this hard-charging, rock-n-roll drummer is also a highly coveted motivational speaker. Companies such as FedEx, Belmont University, Keller Williams, and The School of Rock have retained Sandy to provide the recipe for inspiration and success, whether the platform is business, music, or life.  In this episode, Sandy shares his life journey, which will inspire everyone to give their best every day.

Do you ever get that little cosmic nudge to acknowledge some of them? Do you use people's names when you're able, maybe when they're wearing a nametag? ****The JMVO Weekly Primer is sponsored by Big Dot Lighting - Commercial LED Lighting Specialists.**** Converting your business to LED lighting is not a question of "if", but of "when". We have several ways to help you begin saving energy and boosting productivity and attracting new customers with LEDs. Check out the L.a.M.P. option at www.bigdotlighting.com/lighting-as-a-service/ One of my biggest philosophies is you never know who you're talking to or what their aspirations are. Just because they may seem lowly at the time doesn't mean they're not destined for much bigger things or know bigger people. Take the time to meet and listen to them. My pal Rich Redmond made a great point in our documentary project, "Working The Dream": "I make it a point to use and remember everyone's name when I'm on a recording session. It's music to their ears. Plus everyone wants to move up. Today's receptionist may become tomorrow's second engineer. Give them the best impression you can and they might champion you down the road!" -Rich Redmond There couldn't be a better point made of this concept than with Sandy Gennaro. Sandy aptly calls himself the "grateful drumma" for a myriad of reasons. His illustrious career allowed him to be behind a set of drums backing some of the most iconic artists of our generation. Here's a brief rundown: Joan Jett and The Blackhearts Cyndi Lauper The Monkees Pat Travers Robin Gibb and much more.... Sandy was with Cyndi Lauper when she was ruling the 80s...and that gig happened because he took the time to talk to someone backstage a few years prior.

The Pat Travers Band, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, The Monkees, Michael Bolton, Johnny Winter and Bo Diddley.  Any drummer would be thrilled with a shot playing with any single artist on this list.  Sandy Gennaro has played with them all.  Growing up in Little Italy on Manhattan's lower east side, Sandy started drumming at age 4.  His career in music hasn't slowed since that time.  On episode 041, Sandy talks with Jamie about his incredible journey and the chances he took along the way.  Today, Sandy is still drumming with the likes of Mark Farner, Kip Winger and Derek St. Holmes; however, he has found a new calling as a motivational speaker as a way to give back.  A man of integrity, kindness, positivity and virtually limitless energy, this episode is sure to inspire everyone that hears Sandy's wise words.
