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.

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

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.

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/

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. He was named among the 23 most powerful LGBTQ people in tech by Business Insider in 2019.

So decided to post a somewhat captivating video this morning.

Funny man Jim Carrey gets pretty serious about life, yet still makes you laugh. Eliot and I watched the interview with Jim and his co-author Dana Vachon. Books & Books of Miami hosted the event last night and my video is probably the first to be published. I hope I don’t get in trouble.

Books & Books owner Mitchell Kaplan calls “Memoirs and Misinformation” a “fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, the co-authors have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our ‘one big soul’ Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world – apocalypses within and without.”

It took the authors six years to write the book. They collaborated via their phones because Jim lives on the West Coast and Dana on the East. Mitchell claims us “shut-ins” will find this book a real treat. We will start it today.

Look what I found, an app that allows you to blend the physical with the virtual world.

It’s called the “4th Wall” and you can now pair public art with the augmented experience. No expensive VR headsets needed.

Artist Nancy Baker Cahill created the app to give users new experiences with public art. It features her dimensional drawings so everyone can create new work by locating them anywhere in the world. The app also includes curated and site-specific AR public art exhibitions.

4th Wall’s mission is to encourage people to place artwork in all kinds of new contexts. 

Art truly can be anywhere. See what I did.
