Dr. Kevin Keough interviews Ms. Geri Weis-Corbley, Founder and Publisher of the Good News Network International.Topic: News That Reflects Our ValuesWHO

Geri Weis-Corbley graduated with a degree in TV/Radio from Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, and went on to work in TV news and video production in Washington, D.C., in the 1980's. That's when she first conceived of the Good News Network as a television show and cable network (abbreviated GNN, like CNN). Ten years later she left her freelance career in television to raise a family at home during the 1990's.

WHEN

In 1997, she could stand it no longer. The declining state of the U.S. news media and the rising tide of the Internet combined to compel her into action. She bought some software and created the online edition of the Good News Network, premiering in August 1997.

WHAT (What else happened?)

She designed, wrote and uploaded weekly good news to the site for six years. A bimonthly printed newsletter, Some Good News, earned 75 paid subscribers.

A treatment for a weekly TV magazine news show and radio pilot for series of two-minute segments were produced, pitched to Hollywood, then set aside.

The number of visitors to the Web site jumped in a salient spike on 9/11 and the following day in 2001, when terrorists attacked the United States. (Commemorative 9/11 Edition, pdf format)

WHERE (Whereâd she go in 2003?)

In 2003, Geri left the Good News Network on an 18-month sabbatical to work on a presidential campaign, or two. All during this sabbatical â even through September 2005 â GoodNewsNetwork.org was visited nearly 1,000 times a day, even without the benefit of any new content, for 18 months.

WHY (Why did she engage in politics and then return to the GN Network?)

"I dove into politics for the same reason I created the GN Network. I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to try to make a difference to my country when I saw it veering sharply from wiser paths.

But while I made inroads with my grassroots work, I couldn't help but notice that politics is mostly a negative business. Its very nature is divisive and seems to direct our focus onto the worst in people (opponents) ...

In our grassroots campaign, though, I experienced a tremendous outpouring of camaraderie from people young and old who, like me, had never been involved in politics before. It was spurred on by anger, yes, like the GN Network had been, but it was mostly a joy-filled effort infused with positive thinking, rather than negative.

Many, many Americans of every stripe appreciated the way we talked to them â on train platforms, sidewalks, libraries, and doorways â with respect, like citizens, rather than consumers.

However, I gladly returned to work on the GN Network with a goal to bring compassion back into our discourse. Instead of polarizing society into two camps (which politics necessarily must), we instead focus on the commonality of human experience, infusing both sides with the eagerness to overcome adversity and improve the human condition. We will nurture the instinct for community and cooperation over competition and tribalism."

HOW (How is the past relevant to the future of GNN-i?)

Working on all aspects of communications in the high-tech campaign world of 2003â04 imparted a vast array of knowledge to Geri along with ideas about how to build an exciting online community that empowers its members and elicits pure joy. 

"In an 'Aha moment' I realized that community is what the Good News Network was missing. Community will be the key to creating my success on the internet. And if Charles Schultzâs Linus were here, he'd say... 'Community is what the world is all about, Charlie Brown.'"

Dr. Lara Honos-Webb interviews Mr. Tom Antion about his CD-ROM Wake 'em Up! How to Use Humor & Other Professional Techniques to Create Alarmingly Good Business Presentations.Tom Antion is an internationally acclaimed expert in Internet Marketing for small business. He is a full time professional speaker who has been featured on major news media worldwide including the Canadian Broadcast Network, The Australian Broadcast Network, Associated Press, The Tokyo Today Show and hundreds of radio, television and print outlets across the United States.

Tom has a very simple "Three Prong Attack" on Internet marketing, which is extremely simple and easy to understand. Tom is no "techie" . All he cares about is where to click to make money and he teaches his students the exact techniques he uses to pull in $75,000.00 to $220,000.00 in a month from his home office. These consistent high profit / low overhead Internet sales have made Tom an Internet Multi Millionaire in a very short period of time.

Since Tom consistently makes large sums of money while sitting in front of his computer this gave him the idea for his infamous "Butt Camp" Seminars where you learn to make more money sitting on your ârearâ than going out and working for a living.

Tom has students in his mentor program who are e-millionaires and many are making 5, 10, 15 or $20,000.00 US per month.

Tom has the largest Internet magazine in his industry with over 130,000 subscribers in 80 countries. Visit his website.
