- Remember My Name, Great People In History - James J. Braddock
Send us a text
James J. Braddock grew up in Hell's Kitchen, NY and NJ in an Irish family. He spent his childhood dreaming of playing football for Notre Dame and eventually becoming a fire fighter. However, in his late teens, he discovered a love for boxing.
During the late 1920s and into the 30s, James became one of the hardest hitting light heavyweights in the world. However, his life came crashing down soon after the great depression. He lost everything, including his boxing title.
However, Braddock wasn't through yet. He found work at the docks and worked odd jobs when he could. He finally got his break and worked his way back up to the top where he earned the heavyweight title.
Listen to this story of audacity, hard work and persistence that inspired millions during the Great Depression.If you have any questions, comments or ideas for future episodes, please contact me at: [email protected]

This is the twelfth episode of a 12-part series about the Mistborn trilogy. Mistborn is a sci-fi/fantasy trilogy written by author Brandon Sanderson. The series is really hard to describe but what I’ve said to others is that it’s like a collision between The Lord of the Rings and X-Men.
As an avid reader, I am picky about who I read. When I was introduced to Brandon Sanderson and finished reading Mistborn, I placed him as one of my top 3 favorite authors. He knows how to introduce and develop characters, he maintains a strong storyline and he captures the reader’s imagination.
As I read through the books, I gathered information about the world of Scadrial, the characters in the books and the science behind the three mysterious super-human abilities Sanderson created.

Send us a text
In this episode, I go into depth as to why college is mostly a scam. Sure, you need a college degree to be an astrophysicist, brain surgeon or nurse practitioner. However, most jobs out there don't even require a college degree! I emphasize experience over education. Sure, education is great and very valuable. However, you can educate yourself by reading a book from a library, listen to a podcast, reading a blog or watching an educational video.
Receiving a college degree is pushed so much in today's world. Once you get to college, after you pay outrageous prices for books, lab fees, admin fees, cafeteria fees and others, you may eventually realize that you have been scammed and could have already been making up to six figures as a manager at Chipotle.If you have any questions, comments or ideas for future episodes, please contact me at: [email protected]
