This podcast is in response to a question New Pod City founder, Frank Sasso has been asked numerous times—"Have you ever appeared on someone else's podcast?" "Podcasts Frank Was On" is a collection of appearances by Frank on other shows as a guest, celebrity impression, and original characters.
Enjoy.
The following episode was recorded using the comedic improvisational skills of Frank Sasso, Derek Badichek, and Phil Allen. Frank appears on this episode first as Sylvester Stallone, then as Tom Hanks and Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry from The Rocky Horror Picture Show) SIMULTANEOUSLY! There was no script. The only thing that was planned was to have Tom Hanks argue with Dr. Frank-N-Furter at the same time. Derek would yell while Tom Hanks was yelling. Then another recording would take place this time having Phil trying to calm Dr. Frank-N-Furter down while he was yelling at Tom Hanks. Confused? Good. Now listen to the episode. There was no other editing done. Frank switches between Tom Hanks and Dr. Frank-N-Furter incredibly quickly. It's an absolute bizarre listening experience.
The following episode was recorded using the comedic improvisational skills of Frank Sasso and Derek Badichek. There was no script. Frank plays an original character named "McqueeeN". The character was created after a conversation he had with Derek about superheroes. In this episode, Derek and "comic book" publisher and owner of Marvle Comics, McqueeeN speak on subjects about the comic book industry and the real meaning of words. Enjoy!
James and his mentor and podcast producer, Frank Sasso, sit down to discuss making a mess: creating your dreams, and cleaning up the loose ends later.
Part 4 of 4: Sometimes, failure is a gift. It can act as an opportunity to understand our flaws and how we can im prove ourselves. This sort of mentality is essential in successful entrepreneurship. Failure, just the same in martial arts, is a part of business. The type of failure that former UFC fighter, Frank Sasso, discusses with Tracey and CJ on this episode is the type of failure to AVOID. Tune in to listen, learn, and share!
Part 3 of 4: Plenty of fighters get knocked down over and over but get up –often bruised and bloody—and get t hat one strike in that wins the match. If you stay down it’s hard to come back swinging. If you feel like life is knocking you down, stand up and yell: "I’m still here!”
You’re still here. You didn’t die from what happened. Maybe your ego or sense of security did but you’re still here. And while you’re still here you can pick yourself up and do your best to move on from the knockout punch life gave you. You can lie there and retreat into misery or depression or remember that you’re still here and can find your way out of it. This week, Tracey and CJ talk with retired UFC fighter, Frank "Ferocious" Sasso about GETTING UP when you've been "knocked down".
Former UFC fighter, Frank "Ferocious" Sasso talks with Cj Meenan and Tracey Syphax this week about embracing your customers. There's a world champion at every weight class at any given time, but only a few rise to real fame even within the sport. Those who do use interview time, social media, blogging and crossover publicity to create a real relationship with their fans. The fans return that love and skyrocket the fighter's career to new levels. "Take every opportunity you can to help your best customers appreciate and celebrate the fact that they're your customers", says Sasso. "Social media shout-outs, on-site parties, even a brief mention in a news interview can go a long way toward turning them from customers to fans."
Building Mental Toughness with Frank Sasso Part 1 of 4: Business isn't a spectator sport, of course, though it turns out that we can learn some surprising and valuable lessons from the world of Mixed Martial Arts competitors. Innumerable business lessons can be gleaned from fighting—hence the prevalence of expressions like "game plan", "playbook", and "step up to the plate" in the world of business. Maybe in this context we should add "roll with the punches." This week, Tracey and CJ sit with retired UFC fighter, Frank Sasso (aka FEROCIOUS) to discuss building "mental toughness" for the ring and how he applies the same routine to his day-to-day businesses.
Kyle and Tyler talk with Frank about working on "The Ren & Stimpy Show", his CRAZY week at the REAL Disney, UFC, G-Force Creative animation studio, and New Pod City.
