Sports have been a staple in America for years.  If you live in the New England area like me, you know that the foundation of great sports lore is built around the Boston Red Sox.  Join me in this conversation with Chris Valente, the Director of Marketing for the Boston Red Sox as we get an update on our beloved team.  Chris discusses how sports have provided a haven for fellowship and entertainment allowing a modicum of escape from life’s challenges. When all else fails…Go Sox!!

Dreams do come true.  Mike Peckham Jr. is the newest undergraduate to join the Class of 2025 at Harvard University.  He’s a self-made 18-year-old man in search of a career fashioned by mathematics and economics.  Mike sits down with me in this podcast to discuss how he was able to achieve such a lofty goal of being accepted into the oldest and most prestigious school in America.  Here’s a hint: It wasn’t because he is the son of a legacy or a senator or president.  Nope, Mike did it the old-fashioned way.  He earned it.  We discussed the moment he learned of his acceptance, the man who inspired him, the mentor that guided him and what he sees for himself and America.  Mike is a visionary and I suspect you are going to hear a lot about him in the future.  He is a true leader.

How often do you get to have a conversation with a woman who was born just a few years after the Titanic went down?  Today is that day.  Say hello to my mom, Betty Jean.  She is a spry 92-year-old woman with an interesting perspective on life.  From a trip down memory lane including her life as a child in the 1930’s and 1940’s to raising a family with her loving devoted husband Cosmo (my dad).  Betty shares what life was like generations ago and how solid family values shaped her journey.  Her story is one of triumph and sorrow that she accepts and trusts that her faith will continue to guide her. She has words of wisdom for the new generation.  She is the true American hero.

Even in the most powerful hurricane, there is a moment of peace in the eye. We find ourselves in a storm that is sure to change our way of life. We need leaders now more than ever. The youth fit that mold but for many aging Americans like me, we shiver at the thought of what todays 20-year-old is going to do to contribute to society. Amongst those that want to tear it down, there are some that still dream big and are committed to the American dream.
