    Learn how Vince Papali became invincible! Aug 30, 2021
    Show notes

    Our guest this episode was a high school teacher, coaching the junior varsity football team when he successfully tried out for the Philadelphia Bell of the World Football League as a wide receiver. His performance with the Bell earned him a meeting in 1976 with coach Dick Vermeil of the Philadelphia Eagles. Against all odds, he eventually made the team, thereby becoming, at age 30, the oldest rookie in the history of the NFL to play without having played in college. He played three seasons with the Eagles. And his story was the inspiration behind the 2006 film Invincible. Welcome Vince Papale.

    Show notes

    Our guest's amazing journey began at 16 when he was caught spraying graffiti on a wall at Yankee Stadium by none other than the Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner. Instead of putting him in jail, Steinbrenner offered him a second chance making him the team's batboy. He became a positive influence in the fiery clubhouse that included Manager Billy Martin, superstar Reggie Jackson and the legendary Thurman Munson. And for the next 35 years, Steinbrenner and our guest built a special relationship until Steinbrenner's passing in 2010. He's published four children's books. His first, "The Boy of Steel" was #2 on the NY Times Bestseller List and is currently displayed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Welcome Ray Negron.

    How do set a new path. May 24, 2021
    Show notes

    In 1999, Quan Huynh was in a gang-related incident in Hollywood, California, resulting in a man being shot and killed.

    He received a prison sentence of fifteen years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences.

    This could have been the end of the story for Quan. But somewhere along the way, he discovered a new path—one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility.

    "Sparrow in the Razor Wire: Finding Freedom From Within While Serving a Life Sentence" is Quan's story of transformation inside a place many see as the end of the road. In his book, he shares the journey of redemption and discovery that led to his ultimate freedom. Rudy, meet Quan Huynh.
