 Gary Vaynerchuk responds to Robin Rothstein's question on his wildly popular show "Tea with GaryVee" I learned a new term today: kind candor. I thought it might be the same as constructive criticism, but I wasn't sure, so I posed that question in the chat during Gary Vaynerchuk's first "Tea With GaryVee" of 2022 (yay! it's back!) as he spoke about kind candor with his final guest. He stopped his interview momentarily to scoop out my question and discuss. He explained why there is indeed an important distinction. So, have YOU ever practiced kind candor? With people at work? With friends? With family? If so, how did you proceed? And, er…how did it go? 😬 You can watch Gary’s thoughtful response to my question in this short video clip below. 👇 (For the full AWESOME episode, visit Gary Vee on YouTube and check out "Tea with GaryVee is BACK for 2022! | Ep 58") 👇 Looking for a creator who loves to repurpose content as much as Gary Vee?👇

your next short vide0 project?  CLICK ON BBC LOGO TO HEAR MY VERY (VERY) SHORT PLAY "FINDING BALANCE" FOLLOWED BY MY BRIEF INTERVIEW! While life has been difficult in one way or another for just about everyone lately, I was recently reminded that it can also deliver nice surprises right when you need them. About six weeks ago, I answered a call for submissions from a theatre company in the United Kingdom called INK. They were seeking two-minute duologue plays designed for radio. I've certainly written very (very) short plays before, but not specifically geared for the radio. But I thought, what the heck. I'll give it a go. I had a premise for the play, and the first draft took me roughly 30 minutes to write. I then returned to it the next day, made a few edits and then fired off my brand new two minute duologue, Finding Balance to INK. To my surprise and delight INK selected the play for broadcast on BBC Radio Suffolk! I don't believe any of my work has ever been performed by a U.K. theatre company before, so I was especially excited by the news. The artistic team at INK and Jon Wright of Radio Suffolk who interviewed me after the play live (eek!) could not have been kinder, and the actresses, Jill Freud and Esther Freud (yes, they're related to THAT Freud) who performed the piece were terrific! If you'd like to hear my very (very) short play followed by the interview, just click on the BBC Radio Suffolk logo at the top of this post. After a few seconds of earwormy dance music, Jon segues into his intro of the play. Hope you enjoy it! 🤞 # # # Need a script writer
for your organization's projects?  My second bike tour video that I produced in partnership with Village Preservation is now posted! 🚴♀️ In this latest short video I highlight examples of public art, monuments, and landmarks in the Greenwich Village area. 🚴♀️ The video also features SUPER interviews, including a special chat with UK-based professional sculptor Isabel Coulton and her delightful mum--who was Pablo Picasso's muse for "The Bust of Sylvette!" Sylvette (who now goes by Lydia) is, quite literally, an inspiration. You won't want to miss her! I also interview Michael Venturiello, the founder and highly knowledgeable lead tour guide of Christopher Street Tours. 🚴♀️ There is much to discover and enjoy in our neighborhoods, and I look forward to covering more meaningful downtown NYC sites in my next video. 🚴♀️ If you missed my first bike video, you can check it out HERE.
