Podcasting Experience
In Defense of the Bad Apples
Some kids are bad students. Some are even terrible. The worst. But that shouldn’t give teachers the right to physically abuse a child in the name of teaching them a lesson. And yet, that’s exactly what happens in schools all over the United States. And the most disturbing part? It’s perfectly legal. Children are the only category of people in the U.S. against whom violence, as a disciplinary measure, is legal – as long as it occurs in the context of a school.
The Unexpected Joys of Growing Older
This year the oldest millennials turn 42, so I visited San Francisco’s Dolores Park, an area known for having the highest concentration of millennials in the city, to ask park-goers about all the things they found challenging, surprising and uplifting about getting older. For most, physical appearance and health were major concerns, but they were largely overshadowed by the optimism of growing into their identities.
A Look at the Dark Side of Going Viral with Lissette Calvero
Influencer coach Lissette Calvero is only too familiar with how quickly misinformation can spread online. A few years ago, Lissette was the subject of a negative story that went viral, and quickly took on a life of its own in the press. In this episode, we’re going to delve into what it feels like to go viral for all the wrong reasons, and how Lissette dealt with the tidal wave of hate that followed.

I’m an expert at both InDesign and Photoshop and can create all kinds of beautiful visual content for both print and digital media, including infographics, collages and illustrations. I’m also exceptionally good at retouching photography.
