How long will change take? Should we all just settle in and "wait for a new generation"?
Rahm Emmanuel, former White House Chief of Staff, Mayor of Chicago and brother of Ari Emmanual of WME was once quoted in the New York Times saying, "We can't kick the can down the road because we've run out of road."

Is the EEOC's investigation into Hollywood's hiring practices of women valid? Are women really not treated equitably in Hollywood. According to Scott Baio, the answer is a resounding "No!"
From teen heartthrob to conservative political activist, Scott Baio has some provocative political ideologies that is fair to say isn't the common mindset in what has traditionally been a very liberally-minded, Democrat-populated town. From speaking at the Republic National Convention to appearing on the conservative Fox News program The Five to decry the government's investigation into hiring practices, Mr. Baio is unafraid and unashamed to...2022-07-2034 min

Perhaps one of the reasons the gender inequality issue in the entertainment business is so pervasive is how we men interact with one another.

Earlier in season 1 of the podcast, during our first "Women in Film" series, we had an episode that set the show on a path to have what would become Breaking the Glass. In that episode, there was one particular topic discussed that affects women from as high up as the ivory towers of studio executive offices, to the trenches of post-production houses: self-confidence and the "imposter syndrome."

A key ingredient to solving the issue of gender inequality in this, or any industry, is for those in the positions of power to listen empathetically. But that's not always the case. Before any kind of real change can occur, the side of the "table" that has the power and influence, has to be able to really hear and listen to what the demarginalized side is saying. But societal norms and prejudices often tend to get in the way. And when it comes to issues of gender inequality, the natural tendencies of us men...2022-07-1330 min

The SuccessLab Podcast: Where Entrepreneurs Collaborate for SuccessWhen Believing In Your ‘Crazy’ Idea Pays OffBehind every great business is an individual who had an idea that was just crazy enough it could work. At least that was the case with Ron Robertson, co-founder and CEO of Picmonic, a visual learning platform that enables users to create, share and learn from audio/visual content. Ron was a third-year medical student bogged down with exams and, like so many of his counterparts, frustrated by all the important information he was forgetting along the way.

But that's not always the case.Before any kind of real change can occur, the side of the "table" that has the power and influence, has to be able to really hear and listen to what the demarginalized side is saying.

They've come in all shapes, sizes, and varying levels of quality. In all that time, the copyright owners of Star Trek have remained quiet. So why has one fan film elicited a lawsuit that has the fan community in an uproar?Fan films for genre properties are extremely popular.

The comment was part of my "moral to the story" summary for the "Women in Film" series episode from last fall (daredreamer.fm/wif3).

On today's episode, I'm joined by friends of the show JD & Yolanda Cochran (indie filmmaker and ex-production company executive, respectively) to address this topic and the overall PC climate in entertainment.WARNING: there is a generous use of the aforementioned N-word in this episode.
