Listen to "Empire-Episode37-EdwardCurtin" on Spreaker.

Great new interview with scholar ED Curtin (CLICK HERE) on the resonance today of the 1976 film NETWORK. Fascinating talk. Please share this one folks.

Curtin shows us how writer Paddy Chayefsky captures the anger so many felt then, and how his main character, Howard Beale, came to represent 'Everyman' when pushed against the 'Wall Of This Empire'.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
