"How Far Do You Want To Go? Lessons From A Common-Sense Billionaire"
New York City is full of rags-to-riches stories but few have a story to tell quite like billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis. Born in Greece, Catsimatidis immigrated to Harlem as a baby and eventually dropped out of college to work full-time in the grocery business. Today that business, which includes the Gristedes chain of supermarkets, has transformed into Red Apple Group, a conglomerate with interests in everything from real estate to energy refining and WABC news talk radio. Catsimatidis is also a prominent political player, running for mayor in 2013 and donating to everyone from President Clinton to President Trump. John Catsimatidis joins MetroFocus to discuss the nation’s political future, the secrets to his success and his new book, “How Far Do You Want To Go? Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire.”
Preserving "The Boss": How The Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music Came To Be
If you know anything about music icon Bruce Springsteen you know that he’s a Jersey guy, the Jersey Shore to be precise. So, it might not be a surprise to learn that the Bruce Springsteen Archives have found a home there at Monmouth University, but you might be surprised at the extent of the archives, how some of Bruce’s biggest fans helped start the collection, and why the project has expanded to now constitute the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music. Joining us to discuss the creation of the archives, the center and what they have to offer is Grammy Award-winning music historian Bob Santelli, the new executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music.
