I have been a fan of @HSN since 1987. They were ahead of their time, allowing consumers to order great products from TV from the comfort of their homes. I look forward to seeing what @Beekman1802Boys will offer for the holiday season.

When evaluating your PIC campaign or a social cause, there are tools out there to assist. Do comparisons to determine which is the best fit to bring your group to the next level. Two analyses worth reviewing are SWOT and SOAR.

@builditbiggerak I'm surprised weight is even included in a bio unless you're a boxer, wrestler, or some other event that has weight categories.

This spectacular campaign is an example of utilizing a back-of-the-envelope communications strategy. Immortal Fans saved lives in Brazil.

"Summer of Soul" is narrative transportation storytelling at its finest. This festival has been hidden since 1969. I'm grateful @questlove, in his directorial debut, shares this documentary with the world.

Dear Storytellers,

Please take note of how @ChimamandaReal does a phenomenal job of warning us of the danger of a single story during this TED Talk.

@hahriehan also states - with making participation POSSIBLE: Couple systemic reform with efforts to make participation probable.

In addition, making participation PROBABLE: You need to build infrastructure that can enable transformative, relational experiences.

With political participation, according to @hahriehan, you make participation POWERFUL by investing in organizations and focus especially on organizations that:

a. link authentic grassroots power with elite lobbying relationships
b. have strategic capacities

I enjoyed watching this video featuring @hahriehan.
When motivation and authority are misaligned, you have problems of power. Problems of power are defined as the disconnect between what people want and what government does.
