Let's try something different this year....because this year is.....DIFFERENT! So many people are going to be stuck at home...but you don't need to be stuck; not when CoronaTV is there for you. So come and hang with me as we revisit NYE - New Year's Streamin' Eve to be specific. I had some show regulars and previous guests swing by and offer up their New Year's resolutions. (and don't forget the Champagne!) PS This show is "unofficially" sponsored by Planet Fitness! Learn more about your ad choi...

Melanie Deziel is an award-winning branded content creator and lifelong storyteller, but what I saw when I was doing my pre-show research was mom, entrepreneur, innovator and generous giver. She’s my last guest of 2020 and I couldn’t be more excited to discuss a whole swash of topics with her from being an entrepreneur as a mom AND launching a new book in pandemic, to reviewing her list of recommended books. PS Melanie – if you’ve been watching the show, you’ll know that you’re going to leave to...

I know him as Fey. Actually, many people know him as Fey. When we last knew each other, we were colleagues at TBWA\Chiat\Day and since then he has discovered his entrepreneurial roots by co-founding Omelet, a fiercely independent strategic and creative agency based in LA, creating and co-hosting the popular comedy culinary show “The Grill Dads” on Food Network and most impressively, growing a kick-ass beard! Join us as we dive headfirst into the wonderful rabbit hole of content development, prod...

I hope you had a meaningful and Merry Christmas if you were celebrating. I am now on the second 50 years of my life and I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off than with Ian Schafer on my show. Ian is a kindred spirit. Seriously. He is the founder of Kindred, a professional network, community, and learning platform built to prepare executives for the future of socially responsible business and leadership. I know him as one of a handful of independent, creative agency founder entrepreneur...

Happy Birthday to me! I turn 50 on December 24th and I wanted nothing more in the world than to spend part of my day with YOU (my CoronaTV audience) AND two of the most inspirational marketers in the whole wide world (and that is NOT an exaggeration!)

Murray Nossel was one of my favorite guests. We discussed the power of listening, active listening and actually how important it is to the narrative itself. Phrases like “forensic listening” and “listen a question” stuck with me. So when he recommended his CEO, Jerome Deroy, come on the show, I didn’t hesitate. In addition to continuing the thread on listening and storytelling, we’ll discuss something completely original: new hires and employee onboarding pre-, during and post-2020. Learn more a...

Fridays are not awesome because they usher in the weekend, but because they bring together 5 previous CoronaTV guests and not just any 5, but David Meerman Scott, Faith James, Eaon Pritchard (if he wakes up), Kuda Biza and Mark Schaefer. Each of my 5 guests will have a 5-minute slot to introduce the topic of their choice and then collectively, we’ll discuss. I don’t know the topics in advance; nor do I necessarily want to know them.

Josh Bernoff is the other half of Groundswell, which in my opinion sits in a very exclusive subset of seminal books that defined a time. The others? Wisdom of Crowds. The Tipping Point. The Cluetrain Manifesto. There are others, but this gives you an idea of how excited I am to welcome him to CoronaTV today. Oh and he just penned an article in the Boston Globe which appeared over the weekend. It’s called "Social Media broke America. Here's how to fix it." At least someone is paying attention and...

How did I come to having Joe Sinkwitz on my show? It’s a crazy story and you’ll have to watch to find out. Here’s what I’ll tell you about him: he’s a self-proclaimed crusty old digital marketer with his roots in blackhat SEO, but these days he’s all-in-on-influence and influencer marketing. Today we’ll discuss what 2021 holds in store for influencer marketing. Will this finally be its year? Will we be saying the same thing this time next year? Will Charli D’Amelio streambomb the show?

Are you ready to get your freak on? Embrace your freak factor? Then you’ve come to the right place! David Rendall is the author of “The Freak Factor: Discovering Uniqueness by Flaunting Weakness.” What an incredible USP as we say in the biz. That’s “Unique Selling Proposition.” He also wrote The Freak Factor for Kids and I must say, I’m almost more intrigued to go down this path versus the corporate leadership one. So we’ll do both!

I don’t recall exactly how I came to Bob. Perhaps I’ll ask him on the show. Here’s what I can tell you about him: Mayor Willie Brown declared a "Bob Heyman Day" in San Francisco in 2000. He is credited with coining the term Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and “edutainment”. So today we’ll talk about law, education, music and even his old houseboat neighbor Ted Nelson, the man who truly invented the internet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Something special is happening with CoronaTV. I can’t quite put my finger on it yet, but I know that it revolves around human beings, real relationships and true connection. Notice how I didn’t say humanity, authenticity and community, although arguably I just did. At the center of it is someone like Jan Zlotnick, who might be the most interesting man in the world. He’s just published an amazing book, which I think could be an anthem of 2020. Yesterday, he booked January 26th to come on the show...

That’s the situation James Lubbock found himself in when his father went from meek law-abiding suburban family man to Britain’s most wanted crystal meth dealer. So James did the only thing anyone in the same situation would do. He wrote a book. A pretty good one actually. It’s called….Breaking Dad. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we’ll hear about the journey from A (the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies) to B (a loving husband, kids and a life filled with joy, hope and forgiveness) and like all journeys, it’s the unpredictable, squiggly and messy path in-between that provides the ...

His 13 keys to the White House has been featured across the board on pretty much every major outlet…well almost every major outlet because today he gets to share it on CoronaTV.
