It’s not easy to catch lightning in a bottle, but Dr. Bill Monroe did it and spent the rest of his career trying to repeat it in numerous forms.

Before leading one of the most respected honors colleges in the country at the University of Houston, Dr. Monroe did something even rarer—he created intellectual electricity at McMurry College.

Over lunch, tennis courts and pickup basketball games, he helped build a space where young minds spoke boldly, thought deeply, and disagreed with respect. It wasn’t a syllabus—it was a spark.

That spark lit the fire in countless students, including silver-tongued storyteller Mark Williams, who we met in Episode 26. In this episode, we find out from Dr. Monroe what it takes to assemble a group of people who push, listen, take down and lift up their colleagues, plus the Great Unfamous figures who shaped him.

It’s a conversation about legacy without trophies, just changed lives -- lots of tactical guidance here.

This episode we meet the legendary Brimstone -- a serial entertainment entrepreneur -- who’s made a global name for himself as a professional wrestler, radio host, podcaster, actor, author, musician, philanthropist, food critic, comic book and video game creator ... sheesh!

He’s widely known as host of the award-winning, and highly rated Grindhouse Radio podcast that reaches -- not a typo -- 3.5 to 4 million people per week. He’s launched his own gourmet sauces, seasonings, jerky, cologne, vinyl toys, coffee, candy, mustard and more. And he’s been the face or voice of national brands like Kikkoman, 7 Eleven, Wendy’s and Red Roof Inn.

But what a lot of people don’t know about Brimstone is his soft spot for the underdog -- his community service includes helping entrepreneurs as a SCORE business mentor, supporting the Stan Lee Foundation, Rockers, Actors and Athletes against Driving Drunk and the Sweetbriar Nature Center on Long Island.

So meet the intimidating man with the heart of gold -- and find out how he built this personal media brand -- what he’s learned from it -- and who impacted him along the way.
