In this 34th episode of the Ideal Hour Podcast, we delve into the extraordinary life of Myron Sugerman, known as "The Last Jewish Gangster." Join us as we uncover the remarkable story of a man who, behind the scenes, raised funds for the renowned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, enabling him to expand his information network in the pursuit of justice against war criminals like Josef Mengele, the infamous "Angel of Death" from Auschwitz.


We hear firsthand Myron's journey from his early days in Newark, New Jersey, where he quickly became embroiled in a life of crime alongside his father, Barney Sugerman aka "Sugie," a prominent figure in the 1920s New Jersey Jewish Mob.


Surrounded by peers who, like him, faced and challenged the rampant antisemitism of the era, Myron and his father rose to become the leading suppliers of illicit slot machines globally, marking the tail end of the Meyer Lansky era. A second-generation gangster and a part of a storied lineage, Myron's experiences offer a unique perspective on a bygone era.

$10 Million Dollar Jerseys | The Sports Memorabilia Craze with Amex Centurion Member Lou Papa | EP 4

$10 Million Dollar Jerseys | The Sports Memorabilia Craze with Amex Centurion Member Lou Papa | EP 4

Sports memorabilia has always been a popular hobby, but in recent years, it has become a booming business. The global sports memorabilia market is expected to reach $25 billion by 2027, up from $15 billion in 2022. This growth is being driven by a number of factors, including: The rise of social media: Social media has made it easier than ever for collectors to connect with each other and share their collections. This has helped to create a more vibrant and engaged community of sports memorabilia collectors. The sports memorabilia market is divided into a number of different categories, including: Game-used memorabilia: This includes items that were used by athletes during games, such as jerseys, bats, balls, and helmets. Autographed memorabilia: This includes items that have been signed by athletes. Trading cards: Trading cards are collectible cards that feature images of athletes and other sports-related figures. Other memorabilia: This category includes a wide range of other items, such as tickets, programs, and posters. The most valuable sports memorabilia The most valuable sports memorabilia is typically game-used memorabilia from iconic athletes. For example, a Mickey Mantle game-used jersey sold for $5.2 million in 2021. A Honus Wagner baseball card sold for $6.6 million in 2022. Other valuable sports memorabilia includes items from popular sports teams and events. For example, a Super Bowl ring from the New England Patriots sold for $2.4 million in 2020. A ticket to the first-ever World Series game sold for $900,000 in 2022. Sports memorabilia as an investment Sports memorabilia can be a valuable investment for some collectors. However, it is important to note that the sports memorabilia market is volatile and prices can fluctuate wildly. It is also important to do your research before investing in any sports memorabilia item. In this episode, we are joined by Lou Papa, an Amex Centurion Member and a collector.

American Express Platinum and Excellent Credit At 18 Years Old | The Ideal Hour Podcast | EP 3

American Express Platinum and Excellent Credit At 18 Years Old | The Ideal Hour Podcast | EP 3

In this episode, Lawrence came on the Podcast to discuss how he built excellent credit and got an American Express Platinum Card at the age of 18 Years Old.

Here are some tips: Get a secured credit card. This is a good option for young adults with limited or no credit history. A secured credit card requires you to put down a deposit, which is then used as your credit limit. As you make on-time payments and keep your balance low, your credit limit will increase and you will eventually be able to qualify for an unsecured credit card. Use your credit card regularly. The more you use your credit card responsibly and pay it off on time, the higher your credit score will be. Keep your credit utilization low. Your credit utilization is the amount of credit you are using compared to your total available credit. It is best to keep your credit utilization below 30%. Pay your bills on time. Late payments can damage your credit score. Become an authorized user on a parent's credit card. This is a good way to build your credit history if you don't have a credit card of your own. Apply for a credit-builder loan. This type of loan is designed to help people with little or no credit history build their credit. Wait until you have a good credit score to apply for an Amex Platinum card. The Amex Platinum card is a premium card with a high annual fee. It is important to have a good credit score before applying so that you are more likely to be approved and get a good interest rate. Here are some additional tips for young adults who are new to credit: Be careful with student loans. Student loans can be a good way to finance your education, but it is important to be aware of the risks. If you don't make on-time payments, your credit score will be damaged. Avoid predatory lending practices. There are some companies that target young adults with predatory lending practices. These companies often offer loans with high interest rates and fees. It is important to be aware of these practices and avoid them. Educate yourself about personal finance. The more you know about personal finance, the better equipped you will be to make sound financial decisions. There are many resources available to help you learn about personal finance, such as books, websites, and online courses. It is important to note that everyone's credit situation is different. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how to build credit and get an Amex Platinum card as a young adult. However, the tips above can help you get started on the right track.

Two Amex Centurion "Black Card" Members on The Ideal Hour Podcast | EP 2

In this episode, we have two American Express Centurion Members on one podcast talking about the infamous Amex Black Card. There are plenty of questions that I ask my guest Clement Connor who is the founder of Fast Lane Drive. The American Express Centurion Card, also known as the Black Card, is one of the most exclusive credit cards in the world. It has a $10,000 initiation fee and a $5,000 annual fee, and it is only available by invitation. However, cardholders enjoy a wide range of benefits, including: (1) Travel benefits: Centurion Cardholders receive complimentary access to Centurion Lounges at select airports around the world, as well as priority boarding and baggage handling on many airlines. They also receive a $200 annual airline fee credit and a $100 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee credit. (2) Hotel benefits: Centurion Cardholders receive complimentary Gold status at Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status, and IHG Rewards Club Platinum Elite status. They also receive a $100 or $200 food and beverage or spa credit (on paid stays of two nights or more) at participating Fine Hotels & Resorts and The Hotel Collection properties. (3) Dining benefits: Centurion Cardholders receive a $200 annual statement credit for dining at participating restaurants with The Platinum Card from American Express. They also receive a $20 monthly statement credit for purchases at select restaurants through the Global Dining Collection by American Express. (4) Other benefits: Centurion Cardholders receive a number of other benefits, including a 25% statement credit on all eligible purchases at Saks Fifth Avenue up to $100 per calendar year, a $200 annual statement credit for streaming services, and a $100 annual statement credit for Equinox. In addition to these benefits, Centurion Cardholders also have access to a 24/7 concierge service that can help them with everything from booking travel and making restaurant reservations to finding tickets to events and shopping for gifts. It is important to note that some of the benefits of the Centurion Card are also available on other American Express cards, such as The Platinum Card from American Express. However, the Centurion Card offers the most comprehensive set of benefits, as well as the highest level of service.
