The Price Of Success

One of the best things on Netflix. Our adrenaline is still rushing sky high from the excitement and energy of this documentary. If you love music, be prepared to flap your wings.


Am I the only woman who feels that NBC Dateline correspondent Andrea Canning was completely unprofessional when interviewing two detectives on air for several hours? This 47 year old, mother of six (yes, six), is absolutely gorgeous and fit. She has icy blue eyes that is a huge draw on TV. Yes, I am envious but I am also very annoyed that any woman would wear a dress that short revealing parts of her that scream “sex.” Did she keep her legs crossed the entire time? Who was able to concentrate on the murder? She makes Sharon Stone look like a Nun. If we want men to respect us, we can’t entice this way.

The Taste Of Coffee

Eliot told me he had a confession to make. I couldn’t imagine what he was going to say. He said he was guilty because he never realized how many Keurig coffee cups we use each week.


He hates the fact they they don’t get properly recycled in our regular trash. He wants to start washing them all and put them in the recycling bin. We pray whoever picks them up does the right thing. We have been recycling everything else for decades.


What The Heck Is That !?

You are about to see the birth of a new entertainment concept on the Internet. We all need to have more fun while we are spending the majority of our time at home during the pandemic.


This new game show will make you feel like things are back to normal again, because you will be thinking about your experiences when you were free as a bird.


This is all the brainchild of good pal Steve Greenberg. I think his timing is perfect. The Zoom game show features innovation, creativity, forward thinking, and most of all a steady stream of laughs.


It’s just 10-minutes long— it’s called “What The Heck Is That !?”


Concept is simple— a panel tries the guess the identity of a mystery gadget.


It’s sort of— Shark Tank meets What’s My Line?


We’re shopping this digital concept around at the present moment. We will let you know if we score. It will take time but are confident that it will happen.


Steve is the author of the very popular book “Gadget Nation” and he’s seen often showcasing new gadgets on NBC’s Today Show and on TV stations around the country.

Juicy Notes

If you read Mary’s book, this is how you will remember 45.

Just finished Mary’s book on her Uncle Donald. She is brave, honest, terrific writer, and being a psychologist she absolutely nails exactly why Trump is the most dangerous leader for the United States.

The Perfect Way To Get Rid Of Your Frustrations

https://youtu.be/dL-RF-PuiLE

I have to admit that there are several times a month when I feel like punching someone. That someone is usually a person who says he or she will do something, and never does it. I am not talking about Eliot. I can’t accuse him of that. If he says he is going to do something, it’s usually done in a flash.


I’m referring to folks who I work with on projects, personal and business. I usually find myself waiting for someone to get back to me. It’s so frustrating when we are on deadlines, especially during the pandemic.


There is a solution. There is a new type of punching bag that is just being introduced. It supposedly is great for stress, strength, stamina and even for seniors.

Why Can’t Companies “Pitch” Their Own Products?


Your Product Deserves The Best Sales Pitch to Journalists And Retailers 


TV personality and Innovation Insider Steve Greenberg and Editorial Consultant Lois Whitman-Hess want to introduce your innovative product to the media influencers the way they know it should be presented. We think the other product venues are formatted the wrong way. They are long, boring and most company presenters do not know how to pitch their own product. They are too close to it.


Leave it to the professionals.


On a new monthly Internet Zoom Show called ”What’s Wow Now,” Steve will be telling thousands of journalists and retailers all over the world why your product is so special. 


Steve, a gadget/tech contributor on NBC’s Today Show, and Lois, the owner of HWH PR, have properly introduced the most innovative products ever for decades. They know, better than most, exactly how to pitch your product so that it is positioned for maximum growth.


Email Lois for details. She will answer all of your questions. loisw@hwhpr.com.  917 822 2591

Americans Should Be Outraged

Cc’d

Three brilliant people, businessman Eric Schmidt, actress and professor Anna Deavere Smith and writer and poet, and director of the Curator Culture series at The Bass Museum in Miami Beach, Tom Healy, conducted a virtual meeting to discuss the current state of our society and the trouble we are in medically, economically, and intellectually.


Please listen to the conversation carefully. Schmidt said anyone 65 and above should not leave their house. Our education and innovation disciplines should be revised. We are losing our edge.


Eric Emerson Schmidt, former CEO of Google, is an American businessman and software engineer. He is currently chair of the US Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Advisory Board.


Anna Deavere Smith is an American actress, playwright, and professor. She is known for her roles as National Security Advisor Dr. Nancy McNally in The West Wing, hospital administrator Gloria Akalitus in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie, and as U.S. District Court Clerk Tina Krissman on the ABC show For the People.


Tom Healy is an American writer and poet, curator and public servant. He is currently the director of the Curator Culture series at The Bass Museum in Miami Beach, where he also serves as a trustee.


Looking For Testers

Every time I see a video on social media, in an article, or one that someone sends me, I immediately question whether it is real. Too many folks know how to alter videos.


That’s why I wanted to work with Yaza. Now I am. Yaza an app that authenticates videos. I am looking for folks who want to give it a test run. Email me at loisw@hwhpr.com.


 

Yaza is very important to journalism, politics, medicine, travel, real estate, etc. Yaza’s technology authenticates the place, time, and creator of each video. Once created, videos can be shared on social platforms and other websites. They cannot be edited, altered, or hacked without invalidating the built-in authenticating technology. 


 

Yaza calls this new category of content “Certified Reality.” Such authenticated content is essential to protecting consumers from fraud and misinformation, and a first step toward restoring confidence in the Internet.


 

In another industry first, every Yaza video — even those that have been shared widely and “gone viral” — can be erased from the Internet with the flick of a switch in the Yaza app. 


 

Peter Sisson, CEO of  Yaza,  SF, pointed out that “Fraudulent or deeply-private videos circulated on the Internet can destroy people’s lives and reputations. Celebrities and public figures are especially vulnerable to this. Yaza stops such videos in their tracks.”

 

 


When COVID-19 hit, realtors were the first to discover Yaza. They needed a way to record detailed house tours to share with locked-down buyers. Now realtors in more than 40 states have joined the platform.


 

Journalists and activists are also using the app to prove without a doubt that something happened exactly as shown at a specific place and time. Video shot with Yaza provides incontrovertible evidence to back up stories and causes. A regular cell phone video is often not admissible as evidence in court.

 


 

About Yaza

Yaza Society PBC is a mission-driven company that creates tools to ensure the truthful and secure exchange of information through video. To prove their commitment to this mission, the company is incorporated as a Delaware public benefit corporation, a new type of for-profit company that is required by law to show progress toward its public benefit mission and to have a positive impact on society and the environment. The company was incorporated in August 2018. https://yaza.io/

Yaza is available in the App Store here: bit.ly/yazaApp

Peter Sisson is a product-focused entrepreneur who has started four companies, all of which were acquired. Yaza is his fifth company, and his first social impact venture. Peter volunteers his time as a mentor to other startup founders via the European Innovation Academy. He was the founding Entrepreneur-in-Residence at StartOut Growth Lab, an accelerator dedicated to helping LGBTQ, minority, and women founders grow and fund their businesses. During his tenure, SGL graduated 24 such companies that together have closed more than $45M in funding and created more than 200 new jobs. Peter studied computer science at Cornell, has a master’s degree in CSAI (Computer Science Artificial Intelligence) from Stanford, and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

Fell Asleep Early Last Night

So decided to post a somewhat captivating video this morning.
