Rick Flynn Presents Rick Flynn

What an honor to have with us this week, on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast, professional basketball star Dean Tolson a power forward and #20 for the Seattle Supersonics (Ret.).
Dean Tolson was one of the top prep basketball players in the state of Missouri his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City. So, when the colleges came running, he accepted a full ride to the University of Arkansas. Despite being unable to read or write, he went on to be one of the most prolific players to grace the Razorbacks’ campus. In 1974, Tolson was the first basketball player to be drafted by both the NBA and the ABA, having been selected by the Seattle Supersonics and the New York Nets, respectively, ultimately playing for the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle. Following his basketball career, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, and repeated all four years, this time legitimately. At the age of fifty-two, he returned to the university for three more years, earning a master’s degree and graduated magna cum laude. Tolson’s gripping story from his childhood in an orphanage to his academic achievements is not only an indictment of a system that would just “pass you along” from grade to grade as a hot basketball prospect without any educational accountability, but also an inspiring story of overcoming great odds to find success. This an amazing book and is available on all outlets including Dean's website: www.DeanTolson.com.

A Note from Rick Flynn...

When we first began the RICK FLYNN PRESENTS podcast show it was my personal goal to showcase the finest guests that we could possibly place before you, the general public, and our most important ingredient, our audience. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we certainly have remained true to our goals in the presentation you are about to listen to in this week's show.

DR. STEPHEN COHN is a 40-year veteran Trauma Surgeon and the author of "All Bleeding Stops - Life & Death in the Trauma Unit." To put it mildly, it is a fascinating book and is now available wherever books are sold. It is a gripping, first-hand account of life as a Trauma Surgeon. Dr, Cohn was a surgeon in the United States Army Medical Corps during Operation Desert Storm. He was the Chief of Trauma & Surgical Critical Care at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Stephen Cohn is the recipient of "Teacher of the Year" awards at Boston University, University of Massachusetts, Yale University, Northwell Health and he holds a Lifetime in Education Award from the University of Miami Department of Surgery.

His book "All Bleeding Stops - Life & Death in the Trauma Unit" is also in select libraries throughout the United States and you may wish to give your local library a call and see if they have it available for you. Is this book available on Kindle? Yes. Is this book avail on audible so you may listen to it as opposed to reading it? Yes. (Published by Mayo Clinic Press). Thank-you Dr. Stephen Cohn not only for appearing on our show, but for what you are doing for society as a whole. If there is a more important mission on earth than saving the lives of your fellow citizens, I have not yet heard about it. Enjoy this show everyone and come back and see us next week, as well.
