Connect with Phylis Eagle-Oldson:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phylis-eagle-oldson-5868914/Emma L. Bowen Foundation: https://www.emmabowenfoundation.org/Phylis Eagle-Oldson walked into the cable industry in 1971 at age 22. She did not know what cable was. She answered a Sunday ad in the Washington Post, met Marty Malarkey, the first president of the National Cable Television Association, and was hired on the spot. That moment opened a 35-year career across the entire arc of modern American media.She spent nineteen years at NCTA, then became President and CEO of the Emma L. Bowen Foundation in 1999. In sixteen years she doubled corporate partners, drove a 400% increase in paid internship opportunities, and raised more than $6 million in grants. Nearly 80% of her fellows are now working in the industry. She watches ABC News most nights because four of her Bowen kids are on it almost every night.In this episode of The Cynthia Manion Show, Phylis takes Cynthia inside the boardroom when Ted Turner pitched CNN, the renovation she ran floor by floor at NCTA, the cable entrepreneur Bill Bresnan and the fruit basket he sent to her father's hotel room in Sault Ste. Marie, the woman behind the Foundation, and what is still left to do.When asked what she wants her legacy to be, her answer was simple:"I have a box of every single note any one of my Emma Bowen students sent me, all in alphabetical order. That's my legacy right there. You talk about you're having a bad day. All you have to do is open that box and you're in good shape."Subscribe to The Cynthia Manion Show: https://cynthiamanion.com/#cynthiamanionshow #PhylisEagleOldson #EmmaBowenFoundation #MediaDiversity #CableIndustry #Mentorship #Leadership #Legacy

Then he was diagnosed with Stage IV bone marrow cancer and applied the same framework he used to lead teams through war to survive it.In this episode of The Cynthia Manion Show, Paul shares what three decades of notebooks distilled into three words: Teamwork, Tone, and Tenacity. The Naval Intelligence Community honored that framework in 2016 by naming a new leadership award in his honor. He also shares the Afghanistan moment when he had to tell fire-breathing naval aviators they could not strike their target because there were families in the pass, the combat deployment he almost missed because he failed his pre-deployment evaluation, and why he believes leadership is not a title but a process."It is a process of working with others to influence them to achieve a positive common goal. Anyone can manage. Leaders change things."

He found it in a bank statement.A notice tucked inside his monthly statement mentioned auditions for a play at the Broken Arrow Community Playhouse. He went. He got cast as the lead. And something that had been dormant in him his whole life suddenly sprang to life.He was already in his 30s, with two boys to raise and a family counting on him in Tulsa, Oklahoma. So the dream waited. He kept working, kept providing, snuck off for the occasional commercial when he could, and put acting on hold until his sons left for college.He was 47 when he finally went all in. And his first major film role was in The Rookie, the story of the oldest rookie in professional baseball.In this episode of The Cynthia Manion Show, Brian shares the full story behind a career that now spans over 50 credits, including a principal role in Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, where he worked alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Brendan Fraser on a set so quiet between takes you could hear Scorsese giving his notes in a whisper. He talks about his recurring role in Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King, accidentally calling Adam Scott by his last name on the Severance set, what Kelsey Grammer is like between takes on Jesus Revolution, and what Glenn Morshower's Extra Mile Workshop gave him that no amount of credits ever could: the belief that he belonged in the room.He is 75 years old, just finished four auditions across four cities, and has no intention of stopping.His parting words say everything:"Don't worry about age. That's just a number. And the experience I thought was going to be a huge deficit? It hasn't been."

If you're Josh Mandreger, you write a song, drive to California, and audition for America's Got Talent.In this heartfelt episode of The Cynthia Manion Show, East Texas singer/songwriter and actor Josh Mandreger opens up about 20 years of chasing a calling, the moments he almost quit, and the extraordinary chain of events that took him from a lost movie role in New Mexico to the stages of America's Got Talent and the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.Josh shares the full story of his three AGT auditions, including the moment he was pulled aside for a second audition after performing Gangster's Paradise in a room of 500 people, the phone call from Glenn Morshower that led him straight to Sundance, and the doors that swung open from there including two music festival headlining spots in Salt Lake City and a potential opportunity to open for one of the biggest names in music.He also talks about the song at the center of it all, A Cowboy's Soul, written about his family and the loss of his infant son Peter. And his closing message is one of the most honest things you will hear from any artist:"You're going to fall, you're going to make mistakes, it's going to hurt, you're going to cry, you're going to want to quit. But if you really want this thing called art, you've got to go through the suck. It was not handed to me. And I'm so glad it wasn't."Music is life-giving. This episode proves it.
