Ricky Dickson
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ricky Dickson. Having spent his entire working career at the Blue Bell Creameries; Ricky retired as CEO. In this episode, we chat about how he came to work for Blue Bell, a little bit of the history of the company, and how he rose to the rank of CEO. Along the way, we discuss some of the pitfalls he had to deal with. We also talk about some of the amazing successes, the effects of some natural disasters on the company as a whole, and some fun ice cream stories. I share the details of a trip to the Blue Bell headquarters that I took with my family some years back, and I pitch Ricky my own ice cream flavor! All of this was a blast. But the most important thing we discussed; was God’s Plan for Ricky. All throughout the journey of his personal life and career. Ricky knew from an early age that God has something special in mind for him. We get into when he knew, and how hard it was to stay focused, and trust in God’s Plan. Lucky for us, Ricky has revealed all of this and more in his new book ‘One Scoop at a Time: Stories & Lessons From Fear to Faith’. This amazingly inspiring book comes out JULY 6th EVERYWHERE, as well as Amazon and OneScoopAtATime.com This really is an engrossing book, filled with laughter, heartache, hope, and faith. So get somewhere that sells Blue Bell ice cream, and crack open this book!

Hey Streetwalkers. THANK YOU SO MUCH for inspiring me to get to 400 episodes!

HOWEVER; all month long, l will be releasing some of my wife’s very favorite episodes, in a “Best Of” style.

So expect a re-release of an older favorite every weekday; with an all new intro from my wife, explaining why she chose each specific episode.

Keep in mind that these are in no particular order, and l’ll be back in April with all new episodes.

Like, follow, subscribe and tell a friend!

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about return guest Sammi Haney. This is Sammi’s second appearance on the show, and she holds the record for being the youngest guest ever to appear on Fascination Street Podcast. Sammi is an actress and inspiration. She plays Esperanza on Netflix’s Raising Dion, which just released their second season. In this episode we chat about Sammi, Ja’Siah (Dion), and Gavin (Johnathan) playing on the set, and getting up to shenanigans when they aren’t working. We also talk about how much she is looking forward to season two. Sammi tells us how she spent her Covid, about some recent surgeries, and her new pet! We also have some laughs about how much fun it is to work on Raising Dion and to be best friends with the other kids on the show. I mean they all play Minecraft together!
Obviously there are no spoilers for season two; but go back and watch season one if you haven’t. Special thanks to Sammi’s parents Matt and Priscilla for once again making this happen.

Then we get into her newest band, Survival Guide, and her new album Death Dreams. I love this album; so we talk about a good bit of it. She explains why she used some household items as instruments on some songs, which songs are actually about death dreams, and she lets me play my favorite track from the album. Plus, she talks about teaming up with a San Antonio country band, to play some shows, and release a song together!
