Hank Sinatra is a renaissance man and has held many titles in his life including biker, actor, cowboy, Vietnam Veteran, father, husband, and now he is an author. He went to university on the East Coast before leaving to serve his country in the Vietnam War. When he returned to the United States he held a variety of jobs, and had crazy experiences including riding in a biker gang, cowboying in Montana, and living with Native Americans on their land.
He decided to go back to university in his 50s and graduate before his young daughter. He accomplished that goal and received a degree in English with a creative writing concentration, further adding to his 'Renaissance Man' status. He loved expressing himself both as an actor and as a writer, but had never written a full-length novel. Hank began writing about his Italian and Sicilian heritage and "The Bone-Handled Stiletto" was born. It's a novel of fiction, but has historical elements which add context for the time period, along with information on how organized crime gained a foothold in the US. It follows two Sicilian families who have the same patriarch. The patriarch fathered two sons, one inside his marriage and one outside his marriage. The two boys grow up in the streets of Little Italy in Newark, New Jersey and experience Organized Crime both from the inside and the outside. One half-brother is a cop and one is a gangster, but they are unaware of their relation. Some have said this book reads like a series or movie on Netflix about the ins and outs of organized crime during the era when the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was passed. It is full of suspense, intrigue, and of course the Organized Crime syndicates living on the East Coast.
Hank is currently finishing his second novel and is looking for both a literary agent and publishing house to take his second novel to the masses.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Lisa Napoli has lived in Los Angeles since 2004, where there's hardly been a dull moment.
In over three decades as a journalist, she's covered presidential campaigns, a hostage standoff, an outdoor hacker convention and the culture of technology, all at a wide variety of news outlets (some which no longer exist) including the New York Times, CyberTimes, MSNBC, and the public radio show Marketplace. For five years, she also covered arts and culture at KCRW.
Her first book, Radio Shangri-La, is about the impact of media culture on the mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan, where she was invited to help start a radio station at the dawn of democratic rule. Her second book is titled Ray & Joan, about the late philanthropist Joan Kroc and her husband, the irascible founding chairman of the McDonald's corporation.
Lisa's latest book, Up All Night, has just been released. She's at work on a new one about another slice of American media history, the creation of NPR through the lens of the four "founding mothers" of the network.
A graduate of Hampshire College, Lisa led an award-winning volunteer cooking group at the Downtown Women's Center on Skid Row in Los Angeles for over five years. She's also the founding board president of the Bhutan Media Service, an all-volunteer news outlet created by Bhutanese refugees in the diaspora.

Jamie Jackson Spannhake is an author, an attorney, and a wellness guru. After pursuing an acting career in her early 20s, Jamie decided to change her life dramatically and attend law school. She graduated magna cum laude and received a job offer from a large law firm in Manhattan. She went in full force and it was great … for about six months, but realized the values in the Big Law firm were not hers.
She continued to pursue the law, but realized she hadn't determined her values and what was important to her before she started. That was when she started thinking about writing a book – to help other lawyers avoid the mistakes she had made.
Her book, The Lawyer, the Lion, & the Laundry, outlines what she learned and practiced on her journey to enjoy life. She became certified as a health coach in 2006 and researched, read books and articles, attended workshops, and talked to people about what worked for them. She tried different tools and techniques over 10 years, experimenting in her own life.
With what she has learned and practiced, she is able to enjoy her life in spite of her numerous responsibilities and activities. She has a wonderful and happy ten-year-old daughter along with two dogs, two cats, a law practice, a freelance writing career, and is partially responsible for her aging parents. Even with these responsibilities, she still has time to regularly practice yoga and meditation, play tennis, and run each week.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part series that centers around Side Hustles and Entrepreneurship with guest Anjie V. Anjie knew she wanted to take her mentoring business full-time so she saved up money at her Big Law job so she could make the jump with a financial cushion in case things didn't work out. Her attorney colleagues thought she was a little crazy to leave the financial security of her job to pursue a mentoring business, but Anjie was undeterred. She shares her journey with me and how she turned from a trademark attorney to a full-blown entrepreneur.
