Interviewed by Joe Maniscalco on June 3, 2011

The Mafia may not be the first place you’d turn to for tips on getting ahead in business, but former wiseguy-turned-author Louis Ferrante has news for you: Mobsters—at least the ones who haven’t been riddled with bullets or thrown in prison—have a proven track record of success worthy of emulation.

Spiritual Superheroes with Team Chopra
Interviewed by Joe Maniscalco on June 1, 2011

It’s been almost two decades since Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. And whether you celebrate the man or criticize him, few—with the notable exception of the late, great Alan Watts—have done more to help popularize Eastern thought in the Western world.

‘Kingpin’ and the World of Data Hacking
Interviewed by Joe Maniscalco on March 11, 2011

Wired editor and former “black hat” hacker extraordinaire Kevin Poulsen left the dark side of the keyboard long ago in favor of his career as a crackerjack investigative reporter. Both skill sets, however, serve him exceedingly well in his debut book Kingpin.
