LSU Legend Lod Cook is our second guest this morning and he joins Jim in studio to discuss his most recent business venture. Lod moved to Los Angeles after his time spent at LSU to begin an illustrious business career that would span over five decades; but he's not done yet. At the age of 86, Lod is the Chairman of NueroSigma, and he and Jim discuss this and more.

Monty Sullivan, President of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, joins us briefly to discuss the recent work that he and the LCTCS are accomplishing, and the work they expect to do in the years to come.

Also, journalist and author CariLynn is with us for the last few minutes of the show today to discuss the release of her first novel Madam: A Novel of New Orleans. Her novel tells the story of how one woman rises to the top of the high-class bordellos of Storyville's Basin Street in New Orleans to become the infamous Madame Josie Arlington.
