Podcasts about weitzman

Yaron Weitzman, author of “A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers”, joins the Chuck ToddCast to unpack the remarkable rise, impact, and legacy of LeBron James—on the court, in Los Angeles, and far beyond basketball. Drawing from his reporting and authorship, Weitzman explains how access-driven sports journalism shapes the stories we’re told, why LeBron was always more than just another superstar chasing rings, and how the Lakers–LeBron partnership became a mutually saving force for two global institutions. The conversation traces LeBron’s path from Miami to Cleveland to Los Angeles, the myths around his ambition and loyalty, and how “The Decision” reshaped the power dynamics between players and franchises. The episode also looks ahead to LeBron’s next chapter: his eventual role as an owner, the possibility of a farewell tour, how Bronny factors into his decisions, and what a post-LeBron Lakers era might look like. Weitzman and Todd explore LeBron’s business instincts, cultural influence, complicated relationship with fans and social media, and why—despite universal respect—he’s never been universally beloved. In the end, they ask the defining question of any icon: how history will remember LeBron James, and who gets to tell that story. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck examines Donald Trump’s holiday Truth Social spree as a revealing window into his worldview and leadership style. From angry, vaguely threatening posts tied to Epstein to Christmas messages laced with grievance and insults, Trump’s online behavior paints a picture of a lonely, aggrieved figure who often sounds less like a head of state and more like a mob boss issuing warnings. Chuck unpacks how Trump’s rhetoric on immigration, religion, and military force—sometimes delivered in the same breath as holiday greetings—reflects a transactional “Trump Doctrine” where identity and loyalty justify power, and sovereignty becomes negotiable. The conversation then widens to the global consequences of this approach. Chuck argues that Trump’s selective isolationism and deal-making have badly damaged America’s reputation, eroded trust with Europe, and risk pushing allies toward China in search of stability. By prioritizing short-term wins and performative toughness over alliances and norms, Trump may be trading momentary leverage for long-term strategic loss—reshaping the global order in ways that could haunt the United States for a generation. Then, Yaron Weitzman, author of “A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers”, joins Chuck to unpack the remarkable rise, impact, and legacy of LeBron James—on the court, in Los Angeles, and far beyond basketball. Drawing from his reporting and authorship, Weitzman explains how access-driven sports journalism shapes the stories we’re told, why LeBron was always more than just another superstar chasing rings, and how the Lakers–LeBron partnership became a mutually saving force for two global institutions. The conversation traces LeBron’s path from Miami to Cleveland to Los Angeles, the myths around his ambition and loyalty, and how “The Decision” reshaped the power dynamics between players and franchises. The episode also looks ahead to LeBron’s next chapter: his eventual role as an owner, the possibility of a farewell tour, how Bronny factors into his decisions, and what a post-LeBron Lakers era might look like. Weitzman and Todd explore LeBron’s business instincts, cultural influence, complicated relationship with fans and social media, and why—despite universal respect—he’s never been universally beloved. In the end, they ask the defining question of any icon: how history will remember LeBron James, and who gets to tell that story. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to the date Ellis Island closed its doors for immigrant processing and traces the messy history of immigration policy in the United States. He also answers listeners’ question in the “Ask Chuck” segment and does a roundup from the world of sports. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince. Don't wait!

First of all, congrats to Tom P for winning our NFL picks contest for Week 10. His reward is what many would regard as a punishment: A 30 minute phone conversation with me. Hit me up at houseofstrauss@substack.com if you wish to collect. My conversational shortcomings aside, it's been great speaking with subscribers who've won so far. Getting to know you through these weekly NFL competitions has been edifying.

So if you've enjoyed playing, invite your friends to join the HoS NFL and NBA lobbies and let's make this community even bigger.Perhaps Tom P and I will discuss this latest podcast with top level NBA reporter Yaron Weitzman, author of A Hollywood Ending. Yaron's new book on the awkward/sordid LeBron Laker Era has my total recommendation. For a sense of how hot the material is, the Lakers preemptively threatened to sue over the contents, alleging that the author's description of now former owner Jeanie Buss was “misogynistic.” My contention is that Magic Johnson comes off far worse in the book than Jeanie, a topic we get into in this episode.

Author Yaron Weitzman joins to unpack his new book, A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the LeBron Lakers—and all the palace intrigue that shaped this era. We dig into why the LeBron–Lakers “marriage” delivered a title yet still feels unresolved, from Buss family succession politics to who actually pulls the levers in L.A. You'll hear how decisions really got made—Ty Lue negotiations, Linda/Rob's influence, the AD trade mechanics, and the inside story of the Westbrook pivot. We look at the common “Klutch runs the Lakers” narrative with fresh reporting on where that's true, where it isn't, and how those tensions played out.  You can ⁠buy Yaron's book here⁠.

Café Plus con Victoria Walsh yIgal Weitzman, 8 de octubre del 2025 by TXS Plus

It's unsettling when the systems meant to represent you start feeling distant, unpredictable, or unaccountable. Political rifts grow wider, trust in leaders fades, and the noise makes it hard to know which voices to believe. Some cling to official narratives for stability, while others reject them entirely, chasing alternative explanations that feel more honest. In the middle of it all, the real challenge is cutting through the static—deciding what's true without letting fear or anger make the choice for you. The stakes aren't abstract; they shape how a nation moves forward, and who gets left behind. https://youtu.be/KD6dV1CDk-o Ronald Alfred Weitzman, a 95-year-old educator with degrees from Stanford and Princeton, has taught worldwide and earned multiple awards. He's the author of Chairman Biden and Dr. Fauci's Monster, offering sharp commentary on politics and society. Today, he reflects on his life, political shifts, and what drove him to write the book. He also shares his views on the 2020 election, the pandemic, and why critical thinking matters now more than ever. Stay tuned! Quotes: “The 10th Amendment is not just the state's rights events. The People's Rights Amendment states what the federal government can't do and what the state government should be doing, and people should be, and abortion is one of those decisions I think should be left up to individuals.” “Growing up isn't easy as it is, and at every developmental stage, it's required for the next one. If you trip up on one, you're gonna have trouble later on.” “The basic problem with the Democratic Party is that they don't believe in competition. They want to make sure it happens, so they want government control to make sure it does, like with the equity problem. They did the same thing with the virus—they wanted control because they don't trust people.” Resources: Ronald Alfred Weitzman | TiktokRonald Alfred Weitzman | Website Follow Ronald Alfred Weitzman on Facebook

Ronald Alfred Weitzman, author of "Chairman Biden and Dr. Fauci's Monster," joins the show to chat what it took for him to write his first book at 93 years old.

No conversation about the all-time great women's shoe designers is complete without a very long segue into Stuart Weitzman. Born into a shoemaking family who manufactured for decades in longtime US shoemaking hub Haverhill, Massachusetts, Weitzman quickly established himself as the rare shoemaker to both the stars AND literally any woman who just wanted a fantastic pair of shoes. For this chat, we covered why comfort matters so much and how to make it happen, why Stuart ended up in Spain after US manufacturing went kaput, that time Aretha Franklin pulled her shoes off at the AMAs to thank him, his various muses through the decades, his incredible donations to an in-the-works Historic New England shoe museum project, and plenty more. HUGE thanks to Stuart and Historic New England for all the support in making this episode. https://www.historicnewengland.org/Production: Aiden McDonald x Visual Sound Productions https://www.visualsoundprod.com/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/Check out our site!https://www.stitchdown.com/2025 dates and location for Stitchdown's Boot Camp 3—the world's fair of shoes and boots and leather and more—coming soon.https://www.stitchdownbootcamp.com/

Chairman Biden and Dr. Fauci's Monster by Ronald Alfred Weitzman Amazon.com Ronaldweitzman.com This book describes how a charter member of Hillary Clinton's basket of deplorables views important issues that divide our country. Chapter 1 takes a critical look at the past, present, and future of the political left and right sides of that divide. Chapter 2 shows that abortion is properly a matter of religion rather than government. Chapter 3 pins the blame for the pandemic's cause and consequences solely on Dr. Anthony Fauci. Chapter 4 separates sex and gender into two different worlds. Chapter 5 examines how the flawed statistical modeling of global warming fails to disclose its causes or trajectory. Chapter 6 demonstrates the unconstitutionality and criminality of the 2020 presidential election. Chapter 7 reveals why this book ominously identifies the title of Joe Biden as chairman rather than president.About the author For the author of this book, Ron Weitzman, education made a gigantic difference in his family. Born outside the United States, Ron's father barely made it through the third grade here. Thanks to America's equality of opportunity, Ron worked his way with the help of scholarships and fellowships to a BA and MA from Stanford and a PhD from Princeton.

George Jones's New YorkBY JAMES BARRON George Jones Live At The Bottom Line- New York City- 19811 Ragged But Right2 The Race Is On3 Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms4 Bartender's Blues5 Grand Tour6 Tell Me My Lying Eyes Are Wrong7 You Better Treat Your Man Right8 White Lightning9 Once You've Had the BestAND MORE!Hardly anybody would have looked for an “I ♥ NY” bumper sticker on George Jones's tour bus. “The story of him and New York was he just didn't want to come here,” said Jack Grace, a singer and songwriter who books performers for the Rodeo Bar in Manhattan.Mr. Jones, a country singer with a plaintive voice and a complicated life who died on Friday at 81, told people he did not like Manhattan. But maybe he needed a geography lesson. He did not seem to understand that Manhattan was in New York or that, to many New Yorkers, Manhattan just was New York.Steve I. Weitzman, a club promoter, remembered booking Mr. Jones for a show at Tramps on West 21st Street in 1992.“He had a fabulous time,” Mr. Weitzman said, adding that at one point, Mr. Jones told the crowd, “I'm in New York” — with, as Mr. Weitzman described it, an almost giddy sense of excitement that one would not expect from a big-name star.A year and a half later, Mr. Weitzman booked him again. Same place, same stage, same hopes.“The agent called me a week or two later and said, ‘George is going to cancel. George didn't like Manhattan,'” Mr. Weitzman said. “George didn't know that Manhattan was in New York. The agent told me George would appear if I could find another venue that's not Manhattan, but what place was there that was not booked? I tried upstate New York, but I couldn't find anything that was not booked.”By then Mr. Jones was known as No-Show Jones for the performances he skipped, often because of drinking and drugs. Allan Pepper, an owner of the Bottom Line in Greenwich Village, remembered no-show dates in the late 1970s. One was a two-night stand in September 1977 that coincided with a press party for Mr. Jones given by Epic Records.“The only trouble was, Mr. Jones didn't show up — at either the party or the performances,” The New York Times reported. “When last heard from, Mr. Jones's Nashville office had no idea where he was.”A story circulated about what had happened. “Somebody said he went out the bathroom window,” Mr. Pepper said.Fans figured he had the jitters. “A lot of those people got freaky about New York,” said Mort Cooperman, an owner of the Lone Star Cafe on Fifth Avenue, referring to famous performers. He said he had tried to sign Mr. Jones for the same dates but lost out to the Bottom Line. “Some of them loved it and turned into glowworms, like Johnny Paycheck. He was turned on by New York.”But Mr. Jones stayed away. Mr. Pepper said the routine — agreeing on a date, signing a contract and canceling the gig — became all too familiar. “I would be upset,” he said, “but here's the interesting thing: We would announce there was a cancellation and the fans would come up to the box office window and ask us, ‘What was it this time? He got sick? He got into an accident?' They were prepared for this. They knew he was No-Show Jones. So I rebooked him, and again he canceled on me.”Mr. Pepper booked him again, in 1980, and as if to prove the cliché about the third time being a charm, Mr. Jones not only appeared, but Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt — who had been in the audience — joined him onstage for several songs. Mr. Pepper said that

Spiritual goddess, intuitive healer, expert in mediumship, traveler extraordinaire, creative director and photographer, these are just a few hats our guest Taryn Weitzman wears. Also helming from Wayne, NJ, and later finding her way to Los Angeles, Taryn has been divinely connected to us since her and Holly met in middle school in the early 90's. We were lucky enough to catch up with an old friend and hear about the magic she has encountered and embraced since “coming out of the spiritual closet” and her experience losing her mom in 2020. We may need a glossary after his chat because Taryn is a true wealth of knowledge in all things that transcend the human experience, and we can't wait to share just a small part of her story and magic with you all. More on Taryn Weitzman Elba Iris Weitzman 1954- 2020

Here to shed light on the advisory process is a Principal and Managing Director at Weitzman, Keith Brenan! Keith joins Host Dan Ryan to discuss the nuances of investing in hospitality properties, and some of the many considerations that clients may have. Keith also shares the difference between institutional and mom and pop investors, the best way to mix hospitality and office space, and how to pick the perfect amenities. Takeaways: While hospitality touches on many different aspects, at its core, it is about welcoming and understanding. Hospitality is about the ability to welcome into a space and exceed their expectations in terms of what they expect from human interaction. Hospitality as an investment class presents some unique challenges. As your tenants are essentially checking in and out on a daily basis, quality amenities alone don't cut it. To truly make hospitality excel as an investment, the human element must be there.Advisors see two typical types of investors, institutional and mom and pop investors. Institutional investors are typically assessing if they want to get involved with hospitality, while mom and pop investors already have a vision and need help implementing it. Having the right amenities makes a great project. By tying the value of the amenity to the development of the building creates a cohesive experience for guests. Unique amenities serve as a focal point for guests when choosing a place to stay. Many investors are not only considering the current role of a hospitality asset, but how the building may need to transform over the years. As topics like adaptive reuse become more popular, more investors are looking for flexible assets. When mixing hospitality and office space in a single building, hospitality needs to be on the top half, however, elevated lobbies present unique challenges. Consider how guests enter the building, and simplify the path they take to get to the lobby. As an advisor, your main role is to show people all the details and help them make an informed decision. While telling someone no on a project can be disappointing, it's better than letting someone go down a path towards eventual failure. Quote of the Show:“It's a way of welcoming and it's a way of understanding. It's providing human interaction often in a physical space.” - Keith BrenanLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-brenan-cre-61222811/ Website: https://www.weitzmanusa.com/ Shout Outs:1:32 - Aggie Zamir: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aggie-zamir-a750982b/ 1:33 - ALIS: https://www.burba.com/ALIS 29:38 - Marriott: https://www.marriott.com/default.mi Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPXApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1sAmazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419
