Reel Lyfe Cinema vol. 1

Image
Michael "Lyfelong" Foster is a Filmmaker who is based out of Charlotte, NC. We have conducted with him an interview about his latest project, " Reel Lyfe Cinema vol. 1 ". It is a feature length compilation project consisting of short films that I toured with on the national and international film festival circuit. How long did you take to create your latest feature length compilation project "Reel Lyfe Cinema vol. 1"? It was actually created over the course of four years. That was mainly because once one of the short films were complete I would take it on the festival circuit to see how it fared with audiences. That's how I determined what films would make it on the project. The responses I received from people from all over the world that told me how a particular film spoke to them really moved me and inspired me to keep creating. I have other films that are good and received good responses, but I just didn't feel like they fit the them...

Interview with self-taught multimillionaire Jon Giaan

Image
A self-taught and self-made multimillionaire, Jon Giaan experienced firsthand what it is like to pursue wealth and prosperity without being able to rely on any formal experience or education on the subject of investing. Citing a lack of a truly comprehensive resource in which a broad range of relevant educational content could be found, Mr. Giaan founded Knowledge Source as a means for filling that vast information gap. Mr. Giaan has since used his own experience to guide others possessing similar aspirations regarding wealth creation and long-term financial security, turning Knowledge Source into a comprehensive resource in which Australia’s most respected investment educators are able to offer their extensive insight and expertise across a wide range of subjects.  Knowledge Source is now recognized as Australia’s most prominent source of wealth-creation information and is rightly hailed as the country’s top education and training company, an achievement largely due to the ...

Italy with a Side of Mayo

Tonight our guest is Kelly Matczak, author of " Italy with a Side of Mayo. " She currently lives in West Palm Beach, FL. We have conducted an interview with her. What was the first experience that inspired you to begin writing humorous travel adventures? I credit my first grade English teacher, Mrs. Cooper, for first building my confidence. She fed me the positive attention that I needed. I was hungry for it. This teacher’s support meant a lot as I was a child from a family of eight. Individualized praise at home was as scarce as the "good cereal" was an hour after it was brought home from the grocery store. Hearing that somebody liked what I wrote was a really positive feeling, so I focused upon it. I might want to mention that my early mentor was also good at teaching vocabulary. Being a woman of her word, she said to a wiggly student, "If you don't stop getting up out of your desk I am going to tape you to it!" She taught me the true def...
