    Between Homelands

    Claim OnSite Energy offer here: https://tr.ee/MHLpWnIB95 Today’s conversation is with Simon Saadon, whose life traces a remarkable path across continents, cultures, and the search for identity.​Born into a Jewish Moroccan family and raised in Israel during a period of intense instability, Simon left for America as a young man with little more than determination and the drive to build something lasting. Starting from the ground up, he carved out a life through high-end craftsmanship, establishing a career framing fine artwork and photographs.​ Over time, that initial foothold grew into a profound American success story. Simon’s journey explores displacement, belonging, and what it means to feel like a "man without a country" before finally striking deep roots. It is a story of grit, identity, and a lasting family legacy—culminating in raising three children who went on to become a neurosurgeon, an attorney, and a quant trader.

    Witness to History

    What was it like to grow up during American segregation — and then spend a lifetime fighting to dismantle injustice? Today’s guest is more than a witness to history — she helped shape it. Dr. Frances Pratt lived through the Jim Crow South, broke barriers in healthcare as Nyack Hospital’s first African American Emergency Room head nurse, and spent decades leading the fight for justice and equality as president of the Nyack NAACP. Her story is one of courage, service, faith, and transformational leadership.http://barewirespodcast.com

    Where Sirens Never Stop

    Before Homicide Detective Sean O’Leary's career ever truly began, he almost lost everything to alcohol. Faced with the possibility of throwing away his dream job, he made a life-changing decision that would shape the man—and detective—he would become. Sean opens up about his path from “troublemaker” to building a distinguished legacy in homicide investigations. We talk about the turning point that led to his sobriety and how his own troubled past gave him a rare ability to connect with people from every walk of life—especially victims of crime. Known for his unforgettable, larger-than-life stories, Sean brings humor, wisdom, and humanity to every conversation. This episode is a reminder that no one should be defined by a single mistake, and that sometimes the people with the roughest beginnings become the ones who make the greatest impact. http://barewirespodcast.com

    From the Bronx to Bridges

    Born in Puerto Rico and raised in the South Bronx, Carlos Martinez grew up in an environment where the odds were stacked heavily against him.  In a high school class of 250, he was one of only 50 students to walk across the stage at graduation—a stark reality that shaped his perspective on survival and success long before he arrived in Rockland County to attend Nyack College. ​In this episode, we sit down with the Executive Director of Bridges to explore his journey from the front lines of social work in jails and foster homes to the helm of a major organization.  Carlos discusses the challenges of stepping into a leadership role in his early thirties and the skepticism he faced while introducing a radical new approach: running a non-profit with the efficiency and data-driven mindset of a for-profit business.
