Ed is my father and serves as the CEO for Cigar PEG-Philanthropy through Fun, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit charity; an organization he founded in 1999. He has also been a professional speaker since the late 80s and a member of the National Speakers Association.

Join us as we explore how this shift in the media impacts our daily lives, from the way we perceive societal events to the profound changes in our relationships and personal growth. We delve into the dramatic shift in news coverage over the past 20 years. Gone are the days of traditional reporting; today's media is more about creating and selling narratives than presenting unbiased facts.
