    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Co-Founder Richard Foos on How Rhino Records Turned Out-of-Print Music Into a $100M Business

    Co-Founder Richard Foos on How Rhino Records Turned Out-of-Print Music Into a $100M Business Thenarrativemethod.org Rhino Records & Shout! Factory Co-Founder Richard Foos on Building the Reissue Business Richard Foos co-founded Rhino Records and Shout! Factory (now Shout! Studios), and he’s known as the godfather of reissue culture. The record industry was always chasing the next hit. Foos found his value in old music, film and TV catalogs that the labels had written off. Rhino grew from $91,000 in first-year sales to more than $100 million a year before Time Warner bought it. Richard talks about starting with a $140-a-month record store near UCLA, the novelty single that turned the store into a label by accident, and how Rhino invented reissues and remastering. He also covers how Shout! Factory brought Freaks and Geeks and Mystery Science Theater 3000 back, and what he’s working on now. Key takeaways Value where others see obsolescence. The labels thought old music was worthless. Rhino built a $100M+ business on it. Care about quality. Remastering from the original tapes made old records sound better than they ever had. Persistence pays. Shout! Factory would spend a year or ten clearing rights if that’s what it took. Experiment and adjust. Keep going with an idea that’s working slowly, and keep changing it in small ways. Start on the side. Nights and weekends count. Online tools make it cheaper to start than ever. Quotes “Previous to us doing it, there was really no such thing as reissues.” “We cared about the music or show so much we would never give up.” “Just keep doing it and make little adjustments to the right and the left.” “We had no idea that it would be successful.”

    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children: … and keep them awake all night long by Randolph B. Schiffer

    Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children: … and keep them awake all night long by Randolph B. Schiffer https://www.amazon.com/Bedtime-Stories-That-Terrify-Children/dp/1738339440 What if the stories we tell before sleep aren’t meant to quiet the dark, but to awaken it — to understand it, and to open a child’s mind to wonder? These are bedtime stories for adults who still remember the shadows. Bedtime Stories That Will Terrify Children may sound like a provocation—but it isn’t, not really. These stories aren’t about horror for horror’s sake. They’re about the way children actually see the world—alive with mystery, shadow, and the possibility that magic and menace coexist just beyond the edges of the nightlight. Children already sense that darkness holds both danger and wonder. What they want from stories isn’t protection from fear, but fairness in it—a sense that even in the strangest tale, things make sense somehow. That’s what these stories offer: not terror, but truth told through the eyes of imagination unafraid to look into the dark. “I wrote this book for my children. Not because I had the answers—but because the stories might ask the right questions.”~Randolph B. Schiffer AUTHOR’s NOTES In the spring of 1990, my wife and I were told that our three-year-old son, Brenton, had acute lymphocytic leukemia. At that time, survival was uncertain, and treatment was long, painful, and unforgiving. We could not control the disease — but we believed we might help him endure it. Small children do not fear death; they fear abandonment. So we restructured our lives to ensure that Brenton was never alone. And when doctors later warned us he might be relapsing, I began telling him stories at bedtime — stories of danger and courage, fear and resilience. In them, I reversed the roles I wished I could have reversed in real life: the father became the one in peril; the child, the witness to strength. These eight stories are not gentle tales. They are stories of suspense and moral reckoning, of animals and ancient spirits, of cowardice and bravery. They were told by candlelight during the hardest year of our lives, in the hope that story might fortify where medicine could not. The doctors were wrong. Brenton survived. He is now grown, with a child of his own. I have written these stories down in the hope that somewhere, another child — and another family — might find in them what we did: not comfort, but courage. — Randolph B. Schiffer ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Randolph B. Schiffer Author Neurologist Psychiatrist Marine Corps Veteran Dr. Randolph B.

He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and writes from his cabin on Bois Blanc Island, Lake Huron.

    The Chris Voss Show Podcast – FLIGHT OF A DEAD MAN and stories of order and chaos from my flightlogs by Captain Tom McHale

    FLIGHT OF A DEAD MAN and stories of order and chaos from my flightlogs by Captain Tom McHale Every flight has a story. Some stay with you for a lifetime. What happens when the unexpected takes control and every decision matters? In Flight of a Dead Man, veteran pilot Thomas A. McHale opens his flight logbooks to share extraordinary true stories from a lifetime in aviation. From the challenges of early flight training and Army aviation to the high-stakes world of commercial flying, McHale revisits moments of danger, uncertainty, courage, and unexpected humanity that shaped his journey through the skies. A near miss, an engine failure during takeoff, severe icing over the North Atlantic, and encounters with people whose lives intersect in unforgettable ways reveal just how quickly order can give way to chaos. Each story offers a candid look at the split-second decisions, discipline, and responsibility demanded of those who take to the air—and the human consequences that can extend far beyond the cockpit. Yet these pages are about more than flying. They explore the fragile balance between confidence and humility, the weight of responsibility, the cost of sacrifice, and the moments of compassion and connection that emerge when circumstances are pushed to the limit. Honest, engaging, and rich with hard-earned perspective, Flight of a Dead Man takes readers behind the cockpit door and into the experiences that cannot be captured by flight instruments alone. For aviation enthusiasts and readers drawn to compelling true stories, this is a journey through the unpredictable nature of flight—and the extraordinary human stories found along the way.
