Notch 6 Episode 3 with Lionel's Mike Reagan

Thanks for the great podcast!  I will be listening to it on my way to work in the morning!

Hmm mysterious news about Lionel

 

Must be Jerry leaving

Do you have a link to your Facebook page, I am not finding it

Hi Chris,

Here is my take on the the mysterious news. I first thought this was going to be a huge story, but the more folks I talk to on the inside this is not going to shake anything up. I'll leave it at that. All will be revealed at the end of the week. 

Listening to the podcast now.  Pretty good.  I am enjoying it very much...that being said, I'm not a fan of the "I know something and I can't tell you",  just assume not say anything so the rumors and speculation doesn't run wild.

 

Thanks for doing this!

From a tall tale story, the wind is saying:

JC is leaving

A Macy's lady is arriving

NASCAR mgt will have more involvement

Guggenheim (sp?) involved

 

Marty, I actually feel the same way you do. I considered waiting til Thursday to release this episode so I could discuss but instead released this weekend because I think this will be a non story by next week. Not trying to hang cliff hangers out like a few folks. This will still be worth paying attention to, but far from earth shattering. That's the last I will say on the issue. Glad you're enjoying the show!

Pretty strong rumor that there was a major shake-up in the executive office.

Well even when Jerry goes he still owns a big chunk of the company after the BK.

 

I think Mike will be a great CEO, hope he lasts for quite a few years.

Burger King?

Actually, even before then.  

Can't wait til hear what Mike has to say, will be listening on the way to work!

Derek,

 

Excellent job!  This podcast is definitely needed!

Really enjoyed the podcast & look forward to each new one. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really enjoy doing the show. It's always fun to look back and see the range of topics that we can cover in such a short period of time. Thanks again for listening.

OK, I will be the one to spill the beans ..... All new Fastrack will be simple green compatible........... 

----- Yes! The secret is out! Mike has also developed a spray that will reverse the effects of Simple Green on previous versions of the track. Look for it next to the Fastrack expander paste at your local hobby store this summer. Product number is ID10T.

Great podcast Derek, keep up the good work.

Just listened to all the Podcasts.

I see that Mike was being truly himself! <GRIN>

He does leave a lasting impression as I spent the day with him at The Train Station in Mountain Lakes NJ.

He was having a blast shorting out the ZW-L and answering peoples questions, I had the day off and gained a great deal of info just listening to the answers.

 

Now for the $64,000 Question....

 

How about bi-monthly podcasts?

 

A month is a awful loooonnnnggg time!

 

Thanks again,

 

At this point I am not ruling out Bi-monthly podcasts, but certain things would have to align for that to happen. The most important of those is having the time to do them. On top of 40 hours a week at Stout Auctions, I also do side work for TM Books & Video, plus making sure my family sees me is INCREDIBLY important. Also, and I'm sure Rich and Allan can tell you this, storage space for these Podcasts is not free. Right now that is coming out of my pocket. Like I said, never say never, but once a month is about it for the moment. Plus waiting is half the fun! 

Another awesome podcast Derek!!!  I really look forward to them. You definetly have an ease about your interviews that makes them sometging I listen to several times. Great guest selections also. 

Will the new CEO be even LESS of a train person than Calabrese? Is it possible? From what I can tell, there are only two "train people" in charge at Lionel, and those are Jon and Mike.

 

Why is a train company always run by non train people?

 

Wazzup wit dat?

No different than most CEO's at most other companies. They typically have no clue what the actual "job" entails.  Thus the "Undercover Boss" TV show.

 

Mike and Jon are the guys that "make things happen" at Lionel anyway. 

I just listened to the last episode.... Nice job.

How many down loads are you up to now ?

 

While I don't have specific numbers at the moment, based on the amount of traffic the site is seeing the show is growing. Thanks again for listening everyone.
