EP #299 A TOUCH OF THE MADNESS - LARRY KASANOFF
THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST
PRESENTS
"Lawrence Kasanoff makes movies (Platoon, Terminator 2, True Lies, Mortal Kombat), animated movies (Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out), and theme park rides (Marvel Superheroes 4D, The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman). In terms of innovation, he has worked on films and rides that include the first hit movie made from a video game, first movie to extensively use morphing, first 3D steadicam (moving camera) shot, first EDM (electronic dance music) platinum album, and many more. He has a BA from Cornell University and an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Legendary movie producer Larry Kasanoff knows firsthand that massive success requires taking big risks—it paid off for him with blockbusters Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Mortal Kombat and other feature films.
Now, he’s sharing behind-the-scenes stories and hard-won wisdom to help creatives thrive in any industry.
Larry will be the first to tell you that excelling in any creative field requires taking big risks. It means embracing your crazy side: the most unique, boldest, and bravest part of you, and your greatest asset when it comes to creating something truly original."
"I think many people are scared to be truly creative today. I wrote this book to inspire them to be their most creative selves. And the best way to do that is with A Touch of the Madness. That wild, bold, out there, almost beyond possibility crazy idea – that’s the one! Embrace your inner madness."
Thank you for rocking with the podcast.

EP #298 HAPPY LIFE WOOD - STEVE THOMSON
THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST
PRESENTS
STEVE THOMSON- I am a Rochester, NY based wood artist that specializes in realism. After 25 years in corporate graphic design and marketing, I fell in love with woodworking as a hobby. Through experimentation, I started to create sneakers and portraits out of wood without using any paints or stains. My pieces take hundreds of hours and created out of exotic wood species that represent colors. I took on my art full time in 2020 and have been able to create pieces for Pau Gasol, PJ Tucker, Julius Randle, Kevin Durant, Nike, and the Chicago Bulls.

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST
PRESENTS
Larry Lewis is set to enter his fifth season as an Assitant Coach of the UCSB Men's Basketball team, a position he accepted in September of 2019.
In just his third year with the program, Lewis was a part of the Gauchos' first Big West Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years.
Lewis arrived in Santa Barbara after spending three years as the Director of Player Development/Assistant Coach for the Sacramento Kings.

In his first year as a coach, after a long international playing career, Lewis helped the franchise post the best regular season record in G-League history (38-12) and earn eight NBA call-ups. Named an assistant on the G-League Select Team in 2012, he played a central role in the D-Fenders capturing the Development Champion Award, bestowed on the team that best embodies the G-League's goals of developing talent via call-ups and player assignments.
In addition to his experience on the sidelines, Lewis' lengthy international playing career spanned 19 seasons and four continents, including stops in Argentina (2011), Spain (2001-11), Japan (1996-2000), Cyprus (1996), Great Britain (1993) and the Dominican Republic (1992). He also played one season in the United States Basketball League with Sarasota (1996), in the CBA with the Harrisburg Hammerheads and Rapid City Thrillers (1994-95) and for the silver medal winning Team USA in the Pan American Games (1995).
A Morehouse College alumnus, Lewis turned professional in 1992 when he was drafted by the Albany Patroons of the CBA. He and his wife, Sonia Lewis, have one son, Landon (19), and a daughter, Lauryn (15).

THE KELLY CARDENAS PODCAST
PRESENTS
ERIC McKENITH
" After serving 26 years in federal prison for his involvement in the bank robbery culture of South Central LA, Eric Mckenith turned his life around. He was facing 84 years in prison until President Trump changed the law for long-time sentences. During his time in prison, Eric reflected on his past and the choices that led him down the path of crime. He made a conscious decision to turn his life around and become a positive force in his community.
Today, Eric is an advocate for criminal justice reform and a mentor to at-risk youth in Los Angeles. His story is a powerful example of how it's never too late to change one's life, and how adversity can be transformed into opportunity.
