🥊 Sylvester Stallone is the writer and creator of the beloved Rocky franchise. You'd expect certain rights would automatically come along with being the initiator of the entire concept. In this episode Mike and Stacy take a deep dive into the details surrounding the producer of Rocky, his sons and the ridiculously unfair 'blocking rights' currently passed along within their family. Mike shares many messages between he and Sly on the subject; messages Sly gave Mike the go-ahead to read.
Sly has been very vocal recently regarding this brazenly unfair set of circumstances. Over time and proper legal council, we hope and pray Sly can find a way to own a portion of the Rocky franchise which is obviously HIS to have! Please join us to hear these details and for the record... Mike, Stacy and The Rocky Files team will forever be TEAM SLY!
🔥Additionally, episode 43 welcomes guest Stephanie Murphy! Some struggles are life-long… Stephanie has always drawn on the Rocky message to remind her that she’s stronger than anything that plagues her! In this episode Stephanie shares her struggle with food and fitness and how the Rocky Mind-Set gets her determination back on track! Rocky not only moves the heart and spirit, but can also literally transform the body! Don’t miss this guest - Stephanie embodies the intense passion we all share for Rocky! ________________________________________________________________________
