  • EP - 209 The Sweet Journey of Ricky Dickson
    2024/11/22
    Cool Grandpa Ricky Dickson is joining me to discuss his experience as the CEO of Blue Bell Ice Cream and being a father and a very cool grandpa. Recently, Ricky published his book One Scoop At A Time, which is an excellent book about his time at Blue Bell, from writing a marketing paper for a school project to becoming CEO and guiding Blue Bell through one of its most challenging experiences. Ricky's book combines lessons of leadership, faith, and fun. We talk about how Ricky wrote this book to help tell his story and the story of Blue Bell and, maybe more importantly, as a legacy for his great-grandchildren. We discuss some of Ricky's personal stories, including a turning point in his career when he realized that God's purpose or role for Ricky was more important than a promotion. As a grandfather, Ricky also talks about the importance of one-on-one time with his grandchildren and the special moments they share. Some memorable moments involve ice cream and conversations about listening to God, prompting us about what he wants for us and our lives, and then listening to that prompting and following that message as best we can. As we wrap up our conversation, Ricky shares the 'go to' ice cream flavors that will make you the hit of any holiday or Christmas party you attend. Those flavors are , , and .

  • EP - 207 Documenting Our Veteran's Stories
    2024/11/08
    Bob Abate is on a mission to listen to and capture the stories of WW II veterans from New York City and the surrounding area. We discuss Bob's memories of being a small boy when World War II ended and the celebrations that were going on around him that he didn't understand at the time but grew to appreciate as he grew older. Bob and I also talk about his early years going through the Naval Academy and his academic career after leaving the Navy. Bob started his passion for collecting veteran stories when he noticed that one individual who had been a heck of an athlete before going to Vietnam was not included in Manhattan University's Hall of Fame. That person is . Through the research and induction comments that Bob made, you are going to enjoy hearing the touching story of how Tyrone's daughter got to know her father, who died when she was just a baby. You will also enjoy hearing about Bob's effort and passion for getting the veterans to tell their stories without editing, polishing, or editorial comments. Their story is THEIR STORY, with all the good and the bad that come from raw memories and places in the heart that only they have known and experienced. Once you have listened to this conversation, I encourage you to share it with your friends and family who are interested in great stories and who might be interested in learning how to capture the memories of family and friends who have served this country.
