    HSAY 018 - Rev. Michel Faulkner - NY mayor candidate | Republican | NFL Athlete Quote: “For New yorkers, it's not just ‘our’ city, it actually belongs to the world!” Background: For more than 30 years, Rev. Michel Faulkner has dedicated his life to serving his community. Michel Faulkner is the only Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City, a former New York Jet and businessman. His Church in Harlem is responsible for thousands of people finding employment through their Jobs Partnership. Michel supports school choice and is a strong and vocal advocate for the Police. Highlights: Candidate for mayor of new yorkPositive uplifting and timely messaging on social media ---?NY is a world capital - Everybody comes to new york sometime or anotherFor New yorkers, it's not just ‘our’ city, it actually belongs to the world.Michel  is working on NY being an expensive city. Making it more accessible.Been working to serve the people of NY for the past 30 years.He thinks NY needs to have principal leadership - the focus being on - jobs, education, tax reforms, on making things better so NY can move forward.The culture and ambience of the city can be enhanced. It is diminished right now because of the plaguing issues they’ve been facing recently.Michel  is running to help the middle class survive in NY, enhance the ambience and revive true culture of the city.“I’m a New Yorker, I have a NY attitude and NY values”, says Michel“I value all people, the dignity of all people, their worth.”“I don’t care what their political persuasion is, their ethnicity is, their socio-economic status, or their sexual orientation, what matters to me is healing new york.”“Unity is our destiny”“We need to be selfish and focus on maintaining structural and cultural integrity of NY”“NY is a place of hardworking people, if you have a dream and are willing to work hard to bring that dream to life, you should have a chance to do that in NY.”“NY has always been accepting of dreamers. I’m a dreamer, pragmatic dreamer”“Everybody has a job and a hustle in New York” and that’s a youth culture Michel  stressed upon.“We’ve made some amazing gains and strides. We cannot let it slip by. We need to move forward.”There has been a diminishing return on education system, students of public schools are unprepared when they graduate. Michel  will look into jobs and education.“The best way to empower citizens is to connect them with the police”, Michel  will work to enhance police-community relations.“NYPD is the best in the world with what they do”“We started the blue ribbon campaign for the unity in police community. It focused on 3 things- Affirmation of police officers, Appreciation of their jobs, accountability - police being accountable and citizens being responsible citizens”Michel  started tweeting and let people engage with each other at the time of the haiti quake - Provided food and help to people who were starving.Social media is a great enhancer for community relations.Big challenge is to get people behind social media to actually come out and take action and interact in communities.Social media works best when receivers are dynamic participants“More or less social because of social media ?”“I started a group called NY youth leaders network - used snail mail because there were no cell phones back then. People read the mail and took action.”140 characters can change stock markets, bring notice to the entire globe. Traditional media stands shaken.The mayoral race is not about what’s wrong with NYC but about preserving what is right with NYC.“I will raise the level of engagement of stakeholders in NYC. It won’t be passive, it will  be dynamic, there will be action groups, social media groups, people will be able to raise their voices, their concerns and we will fix what is broken and hence move NY forward.”I am a great listener of people as long as we all are speaking the same language of healing the great city of NY.

    HSAY 017 - Christian Toto - Award-Winning Journalist | Movie Critic | Podcast Host   Background:   “Journalism is either changing or collapsing depending on your view”   I’m an award-winning journalist, member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and founder of HiT. I studied art in college and, after collecting three degrees, realized I had a brighter future away from my pad and pencil. I eventually landed a feature writing position with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, where I asked to review movies when our regular critic went on vacation. I essentially did the same while working for The Washington Times, volunteering to pen any entertainment story I could in between my regular assignments. I finally emerged as one of the newspaper’s regular film critics, reviewing movies and interviewing A-list talent like Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Spacey. I left D.C. for Denver in 2007, transitioning to a freelance career  I later found work with both Breitbart News and LifeZette.com before embracing my HiT duties full-time. I can be heard each week on “Mike Rosen at the Movies,” “The Michael Brown Show,” “Garrison,” “Haus Rules” and “Walker Daniels in the Morning.” I previously appeared on “Stossel,” shown on the Fox Business Channel and the “Devil’s Advocate” program on Colorado’s PBS station.

  • HSAY 016 - Scott Isbell - Professional Pop Singer | Viral Social Media Sensation

    HSAY 016 - Scott Isbell - Professional Pop Singer | Viral Social Media Sensation
    Feb 5 2017
    HSAY 016 - Scott Isbell - Professional Pop Singer | Viral Social Media Sensation Background: “It was like my internet existence was completely erased" At the age of 4, Isbell became enamored with the rhythm and soul portrayed by an Elvis impersonator. Inspired by the performance, he began to emulate his new-found hero, Elvis Presley through his songs. As he grew, he discovered another King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who fueled Isbell’s curiosity to performing arts, setting his sights high on music. At 12, Scott competed in USA’s Most Talented Kids. Influenced by his heroes and other legends such as James Brown, Isbell was seen as a natural on stage where his signature old Soul of new Pop style began to take shape. Without an agent or managers and pushed by his desire to perform, Isbell also landed professional acting roles in both TV and film.  However, singing became Isbell’s way to creatively channel the frustrations of living with ADHD. His passion for music helped him focus on developing his vocal intensity, fueling his soulful sound. Isbell has performed at venues across the United States, including The MGM Grand, Hard Rock Cafés, Disney World, and Foxwoods Resort and Casino. An avid fan of professional wrestling, Isbell also performs at professional wrestling events alongside WWE superstars.  During the summer of 2014 and 2015, Isbell toured and opened for Wu-Tang Clan legend, Cappadonna, and other artists such as Spliff Star (Busta Rhymes), Ne-Yo, Inspectah Deck, Bricksquad, Young Dirty Bastard, and more. Today, Scott Isbell is taking his musical ambitions to the next level, studying at the world-renowned Berklee College of Music and now at Emerson College. Scott Isbell’s most viral campaign to date has been his hit song Trumpified, which has surpassed 46 million plays and has reached number 2 in the world on the Soundcloud charts, number 1 on the Pop charts on Soundcloud, and reached number 97 on the iTunes Hot 100 charts.

  • HSAY 015 - Mark Lindheimer | Social Media and Fear

    HSAY 015 - Mark Lindheimer | Social Media and Fear
    Jan 2 2017
    HSAY 015 - Mark Lindheimer | Social Media and Fear Quote: "and just remember you can be more social." Transcript: Hello everybody this is Marki Lindheimer your host and welcome to podcast episode number 15.  I'm just leaving a meeting and heading back to my office that I'd share some thoughts about social media and fear. It's been something I've been thinking about for a while. If you spend any time on Facebook or Twitter especially and you look at the trending topics or you look at the news of the day there's always, almost always a polarity to the discussion around a particular topic. It could be political, it could be social, it could be whatever and you know there's always an opinion, everyone has an opinion and in some cases those opinions can be very strong and strident and you know aggressive on both sides of the Issue. It occurred to me that in many cases these types of attacks that result in this discussion that goes on, especially on controversial issues, can be difficult for people to grasp and I was wondering where did these  attacks come from, where do does this anger and aggressiveness come from and you know really it really always, almost always comes from a place of fear and fear is a powerful motivator. It drives action and behavior and social media is a great place for, or not so great place for, fear to be displayed in a very aggressive way and we've just gone through an election, I’ve talked about this a little bit, very divisive, very polarizing. The candidates were really difficult to accept on either side of the of the aisle and you know the discussion around those candidates was very aggressive and attacking and and angry in many cases depending on who you're supporting. You  know really i think a lot of that comes from fear. Fear comes from the information that's available and how we consume the information and there's a term called confirmation bias. So in many ways we might be looking for information that confirms our bias that we have, a certain belief about a person or a candidate or a topic or some thing that triggers something within us and then we go about that action of whatever it is and i'm talking about social media. If you search on just about any topic out there other than the innocuous MCM's or WCWS, it's really know, and even that can can lead to some pretty aggressive discussion. But i think it all comes back to fear, I think fear is something that is so powerful and I think that also I believe that our media and our social media platforms as a result allow people to express that fear and sometimes it's not a constructive way.  Sometimes it's very negative and disrespectful and truly awful. So I'm glad that social media platforms are available to us for having these discussions. I understand that people are going to have different opinions. I recognize that that the that fear is going to drive people in certain ways and I think it's really important to know that you do have control about what you consume. You do have control on social media about what you can just consume, you don't have to follow certain people, you don't have to search certain search topics, you don't have to engage in things that are upsetting and might trigger some fear and action that might result and I think it's important to practice that. I think you can use that same approach, my wife and I decided many years ago to turn off the news. We don't watch the news, we don't participate in that and because it was frankly upsetting it caused fear and I believe that's what it's designed to do. So to have the belief that I can have much less fearful existence if I cut out some of these things that caused me fear, that make me upset, that you know might cause me to lash out in in social media is a great awareness . I think if more people understood that they could be more at peace with today's world, to look more inward to different solutions, to be able to to deal with you know the fear that might come up for whatever reason and to use those filters. I always joke that i have a short distance between my my brain in my mouth and that I've actually been able to exercise a filter when it comes to some of the things that I might respond to, react to, that might trigger something in me based on what I've seen in the news or in social media and I've been able to use that filter in terms of choosing not to consume certain information. Whether its  news or blogs or talk radio or anything along those lines or even certain segments of the social media were all the the Twittersphere and Facebook and even Instagram. So I believe that  we have an opportunity on this podcast to educate people and to share ideas and to make suggestions. That's really my goal is to is to make suggestions through people's experience, people I interview and through my experience to help people come up with solutions in social media so that we become more social and we really can become more social and there are different ...

    HSAY 014 - Mark Lindheimer - Social Media and the Holidays

    Quote:

    "and just remember you can be more social."

    Transcript:

    Thanks for tuning in for downloading or listening, this is podcast episode number 14, this is Mark Lindheimer and I'm your host, I’m just driving home from a meeting and I thought I'd check in.

    It's the holiday season between Christmas and New Year's and I was just thinking about how social medias become such a big part of our holiday experience, how people you know, tend to share so much about their lives on social media during the holidays, their family gatherings and the Christmas tree and the presents and the travel.

    The various different things that they're doing and its really neat because you know we all come together during the holidays with our families and we enjoy the time together but sometimes we're not able to be together with our friends and family during the holidays and social media allows us to connect on a level that would be difficult without this amazing platform whether it's Facebook or Instagram or even Twitter.

    This ability to visually connect, to interact, to engage with our friends and family on social media during this time of year is really special because everybody's pretty positive and happy and optimistic and putting on their best face for the holidays.

    There's no doubt that people are struggling and experiencing things that are difficult but you know social media allows us to interact and to engage and its really a powerful way for us to be together during the holidays.

    We’ve all come through a very difficult election with you know very divided united states, divided world really, that election and to come through that as a country and to have the opportunity to celebrate you know something very special during the holidays really, I think, has kind of I hope provided a little bit of a release valve you know kind of letting some air out of the balloon and the pressure as we go into 2017 and all the changes that are on the horizon.

    I think it's you know a wonderful time that we should all be enjoying and embracing and I for one am extremely grateful that I've gotten to spend time with my mom and my brother and my family and we just got back from Disneyland spending a couple days in that beautiful park, the weather was gorgeous. It was crowded but we got to spend time and go on rides and enjoy ourselves and it's so beautiful this time of year and you know share the pictures on Facebook and Instagram and you know connect with our followers and friends and family in that way.

    So it's just a wonderful time of year it's a wonderful time for social media it's very positive and uplifting and I hope we can carry that feeling throughout 2017. I for one am very optimistic and I look

    forward to what the new year has to offer and I’ll share more about that in future podcasts. So thanks everybody, I really appreciate you tuning in and just remember you can be more social.
