Join us in a special milestone celebration for our 200th episode, where roles are reversed, as Bill Corcoran Jr. take’s the guest seat on his own show for the first time since its inception in 2020. Hosted by our show’s Executive Producer, Jimmy T. Martin, this episode isn’t just about the unpredictability of health; it’s a chapter of profound change. Bill gets personal about the decision to leave the family business — an 84-year legacy that was never a light burden to carry. We talk about the pressures that come with upholding a legacy family name, the courage to forge one’s own path, and the reevaluation of life’s priorities that often comes with close brushes with mortality. Bill shares his journey of transition, finding balance between ambition and well-being, and the surprising paths life can take when you’re prepared to listen to your own heart. We round off the episode with conversations about psychedelics, the intricacies of maintaining a public persona, and the authenticity that resonates with our listeners. Bill and Jimmy invite you to join in as we share in laughter, tears, life lessons, and a glimpse into the soul of creativity and entrepreneurship that defines not just our 200th episode, but OnTheStacks. A special thank you to my wife, Jess, and my mom Sue for always being there and supporting me. Also, a big thank you to the OTS team: Jimmy T. Martin, Eric Curtis, Jerry Rizzo, Dr. Will Ramey, & Brian DiMattia. To all of our fans, sponsors, partners, and anyone else that has helped us along the way, thank you.

Enjoy!

This week in the blu door studio, Bill chats with Able Heart, Miami based-singer, songwriter and producer. Able was lost in life after his Amateur US Olympic snowboarding career came to an abrupt halt due to an injury. For years, he questioned his life and struggled with depression and addiction in his hometown of Philadelphia until he found a deep connection and purpose with music. He went on to win the show SONGLAND on NBC and worked with Ryan Tedder and Ester Dean to create the Jonas Brother’s hit song “GREENLIGHT” which was #1 on the billboard charts. Embrace the game of life with a fresh perspective, as Able illustrates how pivotal decisions can resemble strategic moves on a game board, each with profound consequences. Learn to make choices with intention, guided by an understanding of the laws of the universe and spiritual principles like the law of attraction. You’ll hear how shifting your focus and beliefs can craft a new reality, and how evolving from instinctual survival reactions to conscious reflection can lead us towards fulfillment and happiness.

(Part II – Continued from Ep.194) This week in the blu door studio, Bill sits down with Dennis Cavaliere, from 10th and Oregon Ave. in Philadelphia. When he was 11 years old, his father was murdered. About 5 years later, on January 4th, 1990, at the age of 16, Dennis murdered a man with a ball peen hammer.

At the time of this recording, Dennis was out of prison for only 71 days after spending 30 of his last 34 years behind bars. He served 9 years for his initial crime, but his journey through the justice system was far from over. In a desperate bid to reclaim his life, Dennis took to the streets of South Philly with the 10th & Oregon Gang – an Italian American gang and organized crime group. At one point he was making $250,000 per month selling cocaine before landing himself in prison again.

This gripping two-part episode delves deep into the life of Dennis Cavaliere, exploring the depths of human resilience and the quest for reform. The raw honesty of his narrative draws us into the deeply personal realm of his struggles, crimes, and road to redemption. Dennis opens up about the duality of morality, his Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the pursuit of the American dream, and the challenges of maintaining integrity amid systemic failure. He shares insights into the transformative power of the unexpected bonds formed behind bars, and the potential for growth through positive reinforcement. Our discussion highlights the need for genuine opportunities for change and the collective effort required to break the cycle of incarceration.

Dennis also shares his business mindset, where lessons from his former street life can lead to entrepreneurial success. Hear how friendship, loyalty, and personal growth can emerge from the unlikeliest of places, and how accountability can be a powerful tool for change.

This week in the blu door studio, Bill sits down with Mike Lombardo, Mayor of the City of Pittston. In a world where politics often feels rigid and divisive, Mayor Mike is a breath of fresh air. His commitment to the city he loves is matched by his willingness to roll up his sleeves and tackle challenges head-on, even if it means spending a day on a garbage truck in the dead of winter. In this episode, we take a deep dive into his leadership style and unique ability to connect with constituents through authenticity and humor. But it’s not just about the laughs. We delve into his psychology education background, from the hypothesis testing model that shapes his problem-solving ability, to the importance of self-critique, embracing mistakes, and connecting with the community. We also talk about the infrastructure challenges, affordable housing, and the strategic planning for the future of Pittston. On the lighter side of things, we chat about the importance of art and music, supporting local artists, city events, and of course, maintaining a sense of humor and simplicity!

This week in the blu door studio, Bill is joined by Carlos Betances, CEO of Jazrae Wear clothing line. Born and raised in Harlem, Carlos fondly recalls the many times he and his late-brother were “chillin’ on the stoop,” in front of their building. It served as a meeting place for friends and family, a hangout before and after sporting events, and a place to just “chill.” In his own words, Carlos says, “it’s a New York thing,” and is the essence of Harlem and New York City. This culture is weaved into his clothing line, paying homage to his brother and the city that raised him. In this episode, we share stories of resilience, from the sting of loss to the sobering realization of who truly supports us when the chips are down. Our conversation spans the transformative effects of evaluating life’s influences, setting boundaries, and the art of saying “no” — a recipe for valuing oneself, stitched together with the threads of personal anecdotes and entrepreneurial spirit. Join us in this deep conversation where vulnerability meets victory; where the loss of a loved one fuels the rebirth of a dream, and embracing change is the cornerstone of success.
