    GLENN E. WICHINSKY - "Things Left Unsaid: My Dad, the Mob, and Growing Up in the Nevada Gaming Industry" - Author, Gaming & Business Attorney , College Teacher - Episode 291

    This week on Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast: Episode 291 In this true story, an unexpected revelation upends a son’s understanding of everything he thought he knew about his father—setting him on a journey of discovery as he attempts to piece together the truth.After Glenn Wichinsky’s parents divorced, his mother took him and his siblings away from their father’s questionable life choices. Glenn grew up in a sheltered South Florida neighborhood, dreaming of becoming a meteorologist. It wasn’t until he was thirteen, on a visit to Las Vegas to see the father he barely knew, that Glenn’s eyes opened to a wider world. A far cry from his life in Florida, the trips he made to the Sands Hotel and Casino over the years to see his father felt like living in a movie. Michael “Mickey” Wichinsky, a respected and noted pioneer in the slot machine and gaming industry, led a life of intrigue—where showgirls, glitz, and glamour sparkled around every corner and backroom deals with mobsters were simply part of doing business.It was only after his father’s death that Glenn discovered how deep the ties had been between Mickey and the Mob, forcing him to reconcile his father’s early life and work in Las Vegas with his understanding of the kind and generous man he knew. Told with honesty, heart, and deep self-reflection, Things Left Unsaid is both a personal odyssey and a fascinating dive into the history of the Nevada gaming industry by a man trying to reframe the story of his father’s past—and his own.

  3. EILEEN ISOLA - "Necessary Turbulence: Fifty Years, One Unbreakable Sisterhood Forged in the Crucible of the Air Force Academy" Actual True Story (Lead Editor) - Episode 290

    EILEEN ISOLA - "Necessary Turbulence: Fifty Years, One Unbreakable Sisterhood Forged in the Crucible of the Air Force Academy" Actual True Story (Lead Editor) - Episode 290

    Another 100% True Story in the Rick Flynn Presents "Ongoing Strong Women" series of our amazing podcast heard worldwide, as are the actual jet airplanes flown by our decorated international combat pilot guest on this week's show, EILEEN ISOLA, who is the lead editor of this amazing book available wherever books are sold. For fifty years, an extraordinary story has been hiding in plain sight. Necessary Turbulence is a collective narrative of women who came of age inside systems that were not built for them and learned, in real time, how to live, lead, and redefine themselves anyway. In 1976, 157 young women marched beneath the words "Bring Me Men" at the top of a ramp leading into a world that had never imagined them. They, and the more than 12,000 who followed, faced a contentious culture, inadequate facilities, and a system designed to break them. Told they were destroying standards and would never graduate, more than 7,000 women proved them wrong. Drawn from 108 voices across five decades, this narrative traces what it meant to begin without a roadmap: to enter environments where expectations were unclear, belonging was not guaranteed, and the cost of getting it wrong was high. It chronicles women learning to navigate pressure, claim authority, and build lives of consequence. This landmark work captures their arc from uncertainty to self-trust, from isolation to connection, and from endurance to choice. These are not distant or exceptional experiences. They are recognizable: moments of doubt, recalibration, courage, and growth that shape who they became. Across careers and decades, these women carried forward what they forged into their work, relationships, and lives. This is a story about how identity is built under pressure. About what it takes to belong when belonging isn't offered. About the quiet, cumulative ways women reshape the spaces they move through-and themselves in the process. Necessary Turbulence recounts what this sisterhood learned to hold-and what they made possible for all women because of their shared beginning in the crucible of the Air Force Academy. www.NecessaryTurbulence.com

    This week on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast is another edition of our ongoing "Strong Women Series" featuring author and award-winning film maker PAULINE STEINHORN. This true story of a Jewish mother and daughter is a testament to courage, devotion, and the fragile thread of hope that sustained them. Amid cruelty and terror, they also encounter moments of humanity. Throughout it all, both cling to memories of the River Kamienna, where they once danced, played music, and believed in a future. For Bronia and Hajuta, the river is more than a memory. It is a promise that one day they might return home. "Seldom do writers on the Holocaust have access to diaries from both a mother and her daughter. With these materials in hand, Pauline Steinhorn crafted a wonderful book about her mother and grandmother, retelling, often in their own voices, the story of their struggles." -Dr. Michael Berenbaum, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, American Jewish University Contact: www.PaulineSteinhorn.net Buy this book wherever books are sold including Amazon & Barnes and Noble
