Get Ya Mind Right Podcast: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised – It Will Be Podcasted & Digitized
Recently, I saw Forbes Magazine columnist Julian Mitchell, go on a Twitter rant about the importance of introducing a new, smarter way of looking at our world. He went on to discuss the transformation that is currently occurring within the world of news and media. Right now, the U.S. has a smart marketing guy running the country – he may not be very smart in other ways – but marketing is his thing; which is why he is able to tweet ANYTHING and have a large segment of the population believe every tweet. In response to Trump’s tweets, Julian Mitchell also went on to say, “we need to reclaim the media. It’s been manipulated, sold and acquired. The time has come for a new wave of platforms and voices to lead.“
Mitchell’s tweets were written on February 2, 2017, but by that time, the Get Your Mind Podcast had already been formed on the basis of these same ideas!
The climate in this country right now is strange; it almost seems like traditional platforms for news and current events are not reliable. People who we once deemed as influential are either too politically correct, too scared to speak their minds, too misinformed about our culture and our world, or they simply don’t care. Social media platforms are filled with individuals who stay woke and uninformed. Others are obsessed withfaking it til they make it’; and some just seem bipolar and we aren’t sure what’s wrong with them.
It’s time for a ‘New Thing‘. Far too long we’ve relied on civil rights groups with outdated ideas to speak for us. Too long, we have depended on elected officials with close ties to the pockets of local businesses and interest groups to represent us. Its a new day.
