EPISODE 99 - “GRANT WITHERS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 8/04/25 The name GRANT WITHERS is usually met with blank stares and shrugs these days, but back in the late 1920s and 1930s, he was a much-in-demand leading man who capitalized on his boyish good looks, athletic, 6-foot-3-inch frame, natural charisma, and effortless acting ability. And as dynamic as his screen persona was, his personal life was just as juicy! From a scandalous elopement with LORETTA YOUNG when she was barley 17 to financial struggles, missing wives, court dates, and deeply rooted emotional issues, Withers was once a bright light who quickly fell from grace. This week, we celebrate Withers as our Star of the Month.

This week, the crew dives into a packed lineup of stories shaping music, pop culture, and society. They kick things off with a DC debate: Are teen curfews necessary or overreach? Plus, they celebrate Angel Reese's big moment on NBA2K26. In the Music & Culture Rundown, they break down: • Megan Thee Stallion's lawsuit drama, asking if it's about real trauma or clout, and what celebs owe their teams. • Nicki Minaj's fiery Roc Nation rant, exploring if she's blackballed or just beefing. • Beyoncé's powerful Cowboy Carter shows in DC, blending country, Black southern roots, and American symbolism. They also get into Young Thug's cryptic “snitching” tweet amid his RICO trial, fresh details in the Jeffrey Epstein case, and Trump's “Big Bill”—wondering if it's real policy or campaign fluff. New music spotlight: Ty Dolla $ign drops TyCOON, aiming to prove he's more than just a hook king. Is it working, or does he still shine best as a feature? There's a fun detour on the greatest TV theme songs, plus which shows they'd resurrect for another season. Then it's a big question: Is it finally time for Drake to take a break? With contract rumors swirling and fans debating his longevity, the hosts weigh if stepping back might actually boost his legacy. We close with a quick look at the Camp Mystic flood in California and what it means for the future of outdoor festivals in a climate-challenged world. In the wrap-up, they shout out favorite moments, tease next week's episode, and ask listeners: Who are you backing—Nicki, Megan, or the culture?
On this episode of the You Make The Scene podcast, I caught up with Austin of Rex Tycoon for a laid-back but wide-ranging conversation about where the band is now and what's coming next. We talked about signing with Smartpunk Records, the journey behind their upcoming album No Limit 2 Luv (dropping August 1st), and how they've grown as a band both sonically and creatively.Austin shared insight into what it was like recording in a professional studio for the first time, stepping away from self-recording, and how that shift pushed the band into new territory. We also got into what it means to define your sound when you're not interested in staying in one lane. There's plenty in this episode for fans of the band and for anyone who loves seeing artists figure out who they are and what they want to say.Follow Rex Tycoon:Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/rextycoonLinkTree - https://linktr.ee/rextycoon

Are the tradeoffs that highly successful executives make — prioritizing wealth and recognition over family and a more grounded life — truly worth it? That's the central question that prompted Butch Meily to write From Manila to Wall Street, a memoir reflecting on his time nearly 40 years ago as a close aide to the brilliant but often brash Reginald F. Lewis, the first African-American to build a billion-dollar company. Lewis was a trailblazing businessman and investor who, in the 1980s, bulldozed through racial barriers. Financier and philanthropist Michael Milken described him as “the Jackie Robinson of American business.” Although Lewis died of a brain tumor at age 50 in 1993, the actionable insights gleaned from Lewis's business life remain relevant to this day, chief among them his motto: “Keep going no matter what.” Lewis reached extraordinary heights, bringing Meily along with him. Nevertheless, the lives of both men serve as a cautionary tale of the price each paid for their achievements. Their enduring legacy: build boldly, lead wisely — but never forget to live. [A native of the Philippines, Meily currently serves as president of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, a private-sector disaster management organization. Earlier in his career, he worked in public relations for both Burson-Marsteller and Howard J. Rubenstein Associates.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

This is another one of those episodes that completely goes off the regular Hot House Hours track but I've been wanting to do one of these for a while. For anyone who hasn't had a taste of amapiano before, give it a try. It's more chilled and unspoilt compared to afro house! This is my first ever amapiano mix so let me know what you think! www.instagram.com/hothousehours/ www.instagram.com/djdavebaker 1. Nondaba (feat.

Cornelius Vanderbilt was a force in 19th century America, playing a pivotal role in transitioning the U.S. economy from rural mercantilism to industrial corporate capitalism. Vanderbilt didn't just compete—he dominated; and didn't just dominate one industry—he conquered three: ferries, steamships, and railroads. He understood that power lay in controlling infrastructure and not just operating within it. His cutthroat tactics were both feared and admired but his vision for what the economy could be was undeniable. This is the story of how Vanderbilt turned calculated aggression into an art form, how he endured more pain than his competitors, and how he built systems that outlived him. Learn the mindset, strategies, and brutal lessons behind his dominance; the game of business hasn't changed as much as you think.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Pádraig Ó Céidigh, a name synonymous with Irish entrepreneurship and business leadership. Best known for founding and scaling Aer Arann, one of Ireland's leading regional airlines, Pádraig shares his journey from humble beginnings to building an airline—despite having no aviation experience. He reveals the key moments that defined his career: remortgaging his house to buy an airline, negotiating with Aer Lingus, securing multimillion-dollar aircraft deals, and eventually selling his business. Beyond aviation, he opens up about the personal cost of success, his near-death experience, and the philosophy that guides his life today. If you're an entrepreneur, this episode will change how you think about risk, vision, and what it really means to build a business with purpose.
Very few beauty entrepreneurs have had more success than Carolyn Aronson. In 2006, the longtime hairstylist and salon owner launched professional hair-care brand It's a 10 with one hero product: Miracle Leave-In spray. The $21 formula was an immediate success for its ability to hydrate, smooth, condition, defrizz and protect hair with one formula. The brand had immediate success by seeding the product to professional hairstylists before entering Ulta Beauty, Target, Sally's Beauty, Cosmoprof, SalonCentric and Amazon, and selling DTC. Using Miracle Leave-In as the anchor for expansion, the company added formulations through the years for various hair types and preferences. This includes new Miracle Leave-Ins for coily, blonde and men's hair; keratin- or color-treated hair; and lite, fragrance-free and dye-free variations. Each new collection includes shampoo, conditioner, masks and a variety of other offerings. The brand also sells body care. In 2017, Aronson bought out her co-founder to become the sole owner of It's a 10. She's taken on no investors. The brand currently brings in around $500 million in gross annual sales and is distributed in more than 125 countries. On a personal level, Aronson has also provided inspiration for women in the beauty industry. She entered the foster care system at age 2, began working in salons as a teenager and is currently one of the beauty industry's few self-made billionaires. She's also known for her philanthropy. For example, It's a 10 donated $250,000 worth of products to the Los Angeles Dream Center in January to help victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. This year, Aronson is expanding her empire with Cloud Haircare, a new, Gen Z-focused line of shampoo, conditioner and styling products sold in two collections: nourishing and volumizing. Each SKU sells for $11.99 in CVS, Walmart and DTC. The line features colorful, flat lay-friendly packaging and Gen Z-focused values: vegan, Leaping Bunny-approved formulas free of parabens and SLS, and sold in bottles made from post-consumer plastic resins. Aronson's expansion into mass comes at a time when the sector has experienced a renaissance, of sorts. New, fresh brands are currently flooding the market, many of which are priced at $11.99 — like Odele, Saltair, Being Frenshe, Laura Polko and Function of Beauty — while bargain formulas like Suave are back with new branding. Beyond Cloud Haircare, Aronson entered the home hair-color space in 2023 with Rewind it 10, a line of men's home hair and beard dyes. She partnered with friend and rapper Fat Joe on the collection, as well as her husband Jeff Aronson. It sells for $15 per box DTC and through Sally's Beauty, CVS, Walmart, Amazon and more retailers. To entice shoppers, each shade of hair dye is modeled by an influential figure like model Tyson Beckford, football star Trace Kelsie, DJ Khaled and celebrity face Brody Jenner, among many others. On this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Aronson provides Glossy listeners an inside view of her move into mass hair care with Cloud and insights into navigating the men's marketplace with Rewind it 10. She also gives listeners a teaser on her entry into women's hair color and her hopes for Cloud Haircare.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Mr. Woodward began his interest in real estate renovations as a youth, working with his grandfather, father, and great-uncle doing handyman and maintenance services. He also studied architectural design in high school, taking first place at county and state-level housing design competitions. After graduation, he enrolled in the architectural design program at Miami-Dade Community college. He also purchased his first property and renovated it himself at just 20 years old. He then took his aspiration to become an architect to Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Fl where he majored in Architecture and minored in African American Studies. After much consideration, the future graduate of Florida A&M University decided to change his major from architecture; though, he never lost his passion for the real estate profession. He eventually graduated with undergraduate degrees in History, Geography, and Secondary Education. He was able to complete the triple degree in 3.5 years. He also has a Masters Degree in Applied Social Science with a concentration in African American History and an Add-on in Educational Leadership. This was completed while engaging in an 18year career in the education-al system and investing in real estate. Mr. Woodward is currently pursuing his PhD in History and Humanities at Clark-Atlanta University. He has completed all of his coursework and his comprehensive exams. The dissertation is all that remains between now and graduation. Utilizing all of his prior knowledge and experience in real estate, Mr. Woodward was able to turn a hobby and part time residual income opportunity into an incorporated business. After 2 years of being incorporated, Michael decided to leave the education profession. Nine years later, Woodward Property Group (www.woodwardpropertygroup.com), a full service home improvement and property management company is still going strong. In addition to being a leader in the property management and renovation business, we are contractors for Lowes Stores under their kitchen a bathroom renovation program.
