From The Karate Kid to Wall Street Faith: Sean Kanan, Eralides E. Cabrera, Scott J. Buss, and Alan Porter on Ambition, Redemption, and Purpose

In this episode of The Neil Haley Show (October 27, 2025), host Neil Haley welcomes Sean Kanan, acclaimed actor and author best known for his breakout role as Mike Barnes in The Karate Kid Part III and his longtime success on The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital. Sean shares how growing up in New Castle, Pennsylvania, fueled his ambition to escape small-town life and pursue acting. While earning his political-science degree at UCLA, he began booking television roles—balancing classes with auditions—and soon landed his career-making role opposite Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid Part III.

Sean reflects on how his martial-arts background and perseverance helped him secure that iconic role and later led to daytime-TV stardom as Deacon Sharpe on The Bold and the Beautiful. He discusses his deep gratitude for the show’s global reach—airing in more than 110 countries—and credits his education and supportive parents for grounding him throughout his Hollywood journey.

The conversation turns to Sean’s gripping new film South 32, a thriller tackling bullying, revenge, and redemption. He explains its social relevance in today’s era of cyberbullying and invites listeners to view the trailer and follow his updates on Twitter (@seankanan). Sean also reveals his stand-up-comedy pursuits and upcoming appearances on Fox News Channel’s Red Eye and Outnumbered, as well as his East Coast comedy-club tour.

Later in the show, Neil interviews Eralides E. (“Eric”) Cabrera, author of Rainy Faces, a suspenseful motorcycle-club mystery blending love, horror, and morality. Cabrera—an immigration attorney by profession—discusses his inspiration, his admiration for Ernest Hemingway’s vivid realism, and his intent to portray motorcycles as symbols of freedom and American spirit rather than rebellion.

The episode concludes with Scott J. Buss, founder and CEO of Advent Jets, and Alan Porter, CEO of Strategic Wealth Strategies. Together they share insights on faith-driven leadership, resilience, and building businesses rooted in authenticity. Buss explains how Advent Jets became a global luxury-concierge brand through word-of-mouth and trust rather than paid marketing, while Porter emphasizes financial education and values-based planning.
