As we move away from the holiday season and into the new year, we tend to be reflective. And one of the things that the holiday season brings out in us is, apart from the black Friday craze, is an appreciation of having time with family. On today’s episode of the Missing Chapter, we take a look at a power couple. This husband and wife duo were visionaries, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers. And who better to inspire them to take a courageous leap into the toy market but their own children. And the toys that they created are going to blow your mind. They are certainly the Handlers of the toy industry, hint hint, but don’t worry, we got a handle on this topic, and our coffee mugs. Welcome to the Missing Chapter.

We here on The Missing Chapter have reflected on traditions, practices, and objects of yester-year, fondly remembering days past. However, Phil Schoff and I don’t believe that all historical customs should be remembered in such graceful light. We’re happy some were discarded by the waste side throughout the duration of time. One of these being… duels.

As we close on the Christmas season, and head toward the new year, many of us tend to take some time to be reflective. We might make some resolutions that don’t usually last, but for the most part, the end of December is time to slow down from the presents and rush of the holidays. On today’s episode of the Missing Chapter, we are going to detail one of the most fascinating stories of one of the bravest and most courageous individuals we have had the privilege of discussing. And if her story doesn’t inspire you to look deeper into yourself and reflect, well, then I think you might need more coffee. In fact, that reminds me, I need to top off my Missing Chapter mug before we begin. Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let’s get started.

It’s that time of year! The Christmas cookies, the trees, the hot chocolate, and making gingerbread houses! This is where the fun of the holidays meets the art and engineering skills of the parents. Our kids love making gingerbread houses, and the do-it-yourself boxes make it look so easy until you try to put it all together yourself. About an hour later and 15 different messes of sprinkles, frosting, and shavings of gingerbread everywhere, the fine line between enjoyable Christmas activity and test of wills becomes blurred. It’s a holiday tradition, but why? Well, on today’s episode of the Missing Chapter, we put it all together…hopefully not like my most recent gingerbread house. We’re highly excited, and highly caffeinated, and ready to get into the Christmas spirit on today’s episode of the Missing Chapter.

I’m sure you hear it said all the time, “it’s the little things in life that make you happy” - that could not be more true. Just like this podcast - it’s the little things - the dad jokes, the coffee, and of course the unknown stories. And that’s no different for today’s episode, but for the person that we’re talking about today, it’s the small, seemingly insignificant device that not only saved a man’s life, it saved 27 sailors altogether. So welcome to the Missing Chapter Podcast, where we talk about history’s greatest events, but appreciate the little, and many times unknown stories like you’re about to experience.

Humans like a good challenge – especially when it comes to sports and physical competition. Triathlons, ultra marathons. One of the most grueling events in sports is the cycling road race, the Tour de France. What motives contestants to compete in such undertakings; to push themselves to both the physical and mental brink of what man is capable of? Is it self-perseverance? An intrinsic desire to see exactly what we are able to do when we dedicate ourselves? What if your life depended on it, or better yet, the lives of hundreds of others depended on your competing in and completing a race like the Tour de France? On today’s episode, we travel the meandering roads of France, wind our way through mountainous terrain, on a story of personal drive not just to compete, but to defeat evil and save the lives of innocent men, women, and children in the process. A story that has a little bit of everything, brought to you by a podcast that you’ve come to expect the unexpected from… The Missing Chapter.

How often have we looked at the common, everyday things that we use on a day to day basis or sayings that we repeat all the time, but never stop to think about where these items originated? Who named these items? Where did they come from? But better yet, for today’s episode, who are these items actually named after? Well, how about you have the Phils answer that question for you. So let’s take a few sips of our coffee, turn up the volume a few notches, and get ready for some of the bizarre, random, and unknown people behind some of the most popular items.
