While Dennis is away for High Holy days, Bob Frantz begins with the pledge of allegiance, in response to a California teacher who took down the U.S. flag and joked that students could pledge allegiance to the gay pride flag. Have we lost the American dream… the belief in American exceptionalism? In an act of stolen valor, Senior State Department officials claimed that the "U.S. has facilitated the safe departure of four US citizens… from Afghanistan.” But those in the dangerous rescue operation say the State Department deserves little to no credit.

RealiTV Reality Recaps 90 Day Fiance, Sister Wives, Love After Lockup
I’ve invited a guest into my bed & I need your advice. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Sister Wives (8:00), but I want to multiply my own love now. Love is Love! Unless it’s in the trees. Don’t ever put Baby in the corner near the trees! The trees have eyes! And shade! So much shade! Meri really sucks a big dusty one this week and I’ve never felt more alive. The new season of 90 Day Fiancé Before the 90 Days (20:45) is pretty freaking good. Ed had a strong first week, but my Creeper radar started pinging off the charts when I spied some unframed 3x5s. Are we sure that’s mayo? We’ve been waiting to see how Ashley handles the heat she’s under on 60 Days In (39:47) & we finally got our answer. While Dennis and Tony have a pissing match over Pod Boss, Jennifer prays addiction & mental illness away. Gee, that special talent would have been useful in praying Ms. Williams away while she was abusing inmates. Weird.

Nathan and Eppy talk about the first appearance of Rita Moreno on The Rockford Files in S4E16 The Paper Palace. When a pair of French-speaking tough guys assault Moreno's character, Rita Capkovic, the police don't seem very interested in helping out a known prostitute. While Dennis is a friend, she ends up hiring Jim to find out why anyone would want to hurt her - and when one of her only other friends, an elderly woman, is killed, it ups the stakes of the mystery. This episode shines as a nuanced portrait of a woman who lives her life unapologetically in the face of judgement, and the character work throughout is fantastic - overall, one of the great episodes of the show! In this episode, we mention Rita Moreno's Emmy acceptance speech, and a Variety piece where she talks about it in more detail. We now have a second, patron-exclusive, podcast - Plus Expenses.

In the past couple of years of being an entrepreneur, I’ve become increasingly aware that my struggle with mental health is not an isolated incident that only I suffer from. As I dig deeper into understanding my own issues, I have found that challenges with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and suicidal ideation affects 73% of entrepreneurs. My guest today, Dennis Gillan, is an expert in the field of mental health with heartbreaking experiences in dealing with the stark realities of suicide. While Dennis is NOT a psychologist or psychiatrist, he is a world-class speaker who has spoken to the Army, Air Force, churches, homeless shelters and colleges across the country. I wanted to bring him on today — not for a Debbie-downer episode — but for an inspirational call-to-action for all of us, the business owners, founders and the families that support us, so that we can take one more step to END the stigma of mental health in this country. In this episode, you’ll hear Dennis share how he dealt with the suicides of his two brothers, and how we can support those around us, and reclaim our own lives if we, too, suffer in silence. Dennis says that dealing with the word “suicide” brings on a tremendous amount of guilt and pride. Guilt for what you could have done to prevent it, and pride of not wanting to ask for help. Dennis shares how he found redemptive healing in helping others as a volunteer for a suicide prevention hotline, and getting trained in QPR, or question, persuade, refer. “QPR is like CPR for mental health,” says Dennis. “I’m not a cardiologist, but I can keep someone alive until the pros get there.” Dennis also speaks to why entrepreneurs and creative-types are susceptible to mental health issues and how “Bundling Up” can help you cope. If you are thinking about suicide or self-harm, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or text the Crisis Text Line, a free text message service available 24/7, at 741-741.

Dennis Brown - LinkedIn Trainer, Speaker and 6-Time Inc. 500's Fastest Growing Companies Recipient Dennis Brown has been an entrepreneur for over 20 years. As a child, he always thought he was going to be in law enforcement, an attorney or an FBI agent. He never dreamed he would be an entrepreneur. After college, he worked in sales and enjoyed some early success. He then ventured down the entrepneurial path and found it to be very challenging. It wasn't until 2003, and after several failed startups, that he was presented with an opportunity to start a logistics company that is projected to do over $50 million in revenue this year. He ran it for ten years and has since retired from that business. Due to the success of his logistics company, Dennis was ranked in Inc. Magazine's 500 Fastest Growing Companies six times. Once a year, Inc. Magaizine publishes an issue once a year called the Inc. 500 where they rank the country's fastest growing 500 companies. After a grueling auditing process in 2008, he received a letter from the magazine telling him he ranked 298th in the 500 fastest growing companies. Other companies that have been on this list were companies like Google and Microsoft. He shared some great company. The Transition from Successful Corporate Executive to LinkedIn Expert In 2007, the logistics company was doing really well. They were doing about $12 million in sales, but they flattened out. It was getting harder and harder to continue to increase revenue. Dennis claims to be one of the nay-sayers about social media early on. One day, he received an invitation to connect on LinkedIn from a friend of his that worked at a bank. While Dennis was a successful internet marketer, he just didn't see how anyone could receive a return on their investment with social media. He secretly created an account on LinkedIn. He started learning what it was all about. In pretty short order, the next thing you know, he literally tripped over a six-figure client for his logistics company. He realized at this point that one of two things had just happened: Either Dennis Brown was one of the luckiest guys in the world, or he had stumbled across what could be the "golden egg". He took the latter of his thought process. He dove into to learn as much as he could with LinkedIn. He narrowed it down into the 80/20 process. He asked himself what the 20% of his activities that were working by putting him in front of his target audience. He then developed a system on how to target his prospects, how to engage with them and how to, most importantly, convert his prospects into customers. He then took that system and taught it to his logistics team. Over the subsequent years after that from 2007 - 2013, his logistics company generated over 20 million in sales from LinkedIn marketing. His company went from $12 - $45 million in sales and over 70% of new business came from his LinkedIn marketing. During the years of 2008 - 2010, many of his business partners weren't seeing the success that his company experienced and they asked him how he was doing so well. Dennis told them they needed to get on LinkedIn. They all wanted him to train them and he told them he simply didn't have the time and that wasn't what he did. After his retirement, he found that he had a lot of time on his hands so he decided to move forward with his consulting LinkedIn business. He got to work with a very diverse group of CEO's and business owners. LinkedIn is not a soft medium. It's very trackable. You can easily see the ROI (return on investment). Share on Twitter Why Use LinkedIn Instead of Other Social Media Sites There are a couple of reasons: If you are in the B2B space, there are over 350 million users on LinkedIn. These users are professionals. They are not teens or retired people. They are influential executives. The second thing is that there is a return on relationship. LinkedIn gives you the ability to pinpoint and focus target a...
