Emmanuel Lopez (aka Motivatorman) is the guy behind the movie blog at http://www.motivatorman.blogspot.com/. His blog has been featured in the Washington Post and the Toronto Star.
Lopez helps build optimistic mindsets through articles in Zoomer Magazine, Examiner.com and empowering keynotes and seminars at organizations such as TD Canada Trust, Ontario Ministry of Finance, The Art Institute of Boston and Royal Ontario Museum.
He has just put together an audition video for the Marilyn Denis Show (see above or on YouTube). I think the audition video is worth watching because Motivatorman talks about how movies, and especially the stories they tell, can be transformational. If anyone deserves to have his own show, it's Emmanuel. Everyone can relate to movies and we are in a time period where we need simple solutions that most people can access readily.

This week has been atypical in many ways. The song of the week, by Michael Zampelli is usually published on Tuesday's. It's three days late. To make up for it, there are three songs this week and they tell a story of what's been going on for the past seven days. It's been life-changing to say the least. Watch the video for each song one after another and see what kind of an effect it has on you.

UrbanVoodoo strikes a blow at the core of the social order with his dope beats and hard hitting lyrics. He's currently working on a new album called Mercury Reign and has four tracks ready to go. Maximize your Resources is a gritty album filled with conscious messages that will convince you that it's best to follow your first mind.
UrbanVoodoo's roots were established in Inglewood, California and New Orleans, Louisiana "where the cultural norms are as different as Denmark and Hamburg are to each other, even though the two countries are both European". He currently resides in Long Beach, California and actively helps students at Long Beach City College to find their voice through spoken word.
UrbanVoodoo combines two distinct ideas: Urban in terms of the inner city which bred his style and Magic which the sound is designed to create. Donna Robinson at The Examiner says "Urban Voodoo's Creole culture still permeates in his performance…that of Spicy truth that burns in gestation. His distinct vibe can be felt due to being raised in the inner-city where he shows his urban nature."
To hear some of Voodoo's tunes, click on the player below or go to Reverbnation. You can also get downloads and hear samples of Urban Voodoo on Bandcamp.com or, you can Buy UrbanVoodoo on iTunes.
Every musical act has influences. The Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest influenced each other. Punk bands from the U.K. influenced garage bands in Southern California and vice versa. Reggae and dub influenced each other.
What are your influences? That's what we talked about in Helping and Listening Skills this week. We came up with a great list and I liked it so much I took a picture of it.
I asked the students to tell me about the things that influence them. What do they value? Why do they do what they do; love what they love? This is the list they came up with:
Parents
Environment
-Friends
-Neighborhood
-Peers
-Religion
Culture

Media
Mental Illness
Life Experience
-Observation
Socio-Economic Status ($$$)

The point I want to make in this class is that you cannot know any of these things about yourself or anyone else unless you first learn how to listen.
A great Master Mind group is one that's committed to honoring and respecting each other and that includes listening unconditionally and without judgment. It is honoring a person to trust that they know what's best for their own life.

Let's talk about sex baby! That's what Erin, Ethel and I did on this week's episode of The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.
Ethel's mission is to teach all girls and women about the pleasure awaiting them in their clitoris. The Sheri and Erin Show is all about enjoying life to the fullest. Since sex is something that's on everyone's mind...whether they're having any or not, we decided it's time to talk about it frankly and honestly and that's exactly what we did.
So, if you want to know how to experience more pleasure in life, whether you're having sex or not, you'll want to listen to this show over and over again until you can wake up to the fact that life is here for you to enjoy it, not to suffer through it.

"Get Rel!g!on" is the current rally cry surrounding the latest hip hop producer, who's already began dazzling artists and record labels with his skilled creations and innovative beats. Utilizing a fascinating mix of live playing and assorted sampling, the young producer from Vancouver, British Columbia is generating buzz in Canada as well as the U.S. Rel!g!on is already releasing his own material, as well as working with other artists to build his reputation as a bona fide hit machine in the hip hop game.
Released in January 2010, his first official release, Revelationz I garnered positive attention from reviewers and fans across the web. Featuring heavy hitters such as Chuck D of Public Enemy as well as Planet Asia and Moka Only, Rel!g!on's first record was nothing short of an instant hip hop success. His inspired, imaginative tracks laid the foundation for ultra skilled MCs to spit their finest rhymes and create memorable, catchy songs.
"Rel!g!on has a nice sound to his production, and it shouldn't be too much longer before his congregation of followers grows," said Emmanuel Wallace of RapReviews.com on Revelationz I.
Born in Ottawa, Rel!g!on grew up listening to his father's musical influence, which included a variety of instruments, singing, and an extensive record collection. Fascinated by keyboards and organs, the fledgling hip hop perfectionist began experimenting with records and a Casio SK 1, beginning the journey of honing his incredible skills. While he started with an old keyboard and entertaining diss tracks about his high school classmates, Rel!g!on rapidly progressed into a respected producer working with artists from Vancouver to New York.
The future is bright for Rel!g!on, as he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down, with a number of impressive projects currently in the works for hip hop fans across North America. He produced two tracks on Planet Asia's upcoming record Black Belt Theatre, which also features Raekwon of Wu-Tang, DJ Babu and Evidence of Dilated Peoples, Ras Kass and many more. Rel!g!on will also be at the helm for Planet Asia's entire next full length, slated for 2011. This summer will also see the anticipated release of a collaboration record between Rel!g!on and one of Pittsburgh's finest MCs, Jasiri X and New Orleans rapper/producer Dain. Check out his MySpace page for music videos and streaming audio, and Facebook for the latest information and updates.

I submitted an audition tape to Oprah on Sunday. I'm hoping that you will vote for me to get my OWN T.V. talk show. We taped the audition in front of a live audience. Between takes I did a little dancing, a little rapping and a little jumping up and down. All caught on video.
I want a show that's a mix between Soul Train and old school Oprah. You know, when you used to have real-life, everyday people on and they'd tell amazing stories and experience transformation before your eyes. How about if we do that with fun stuff like music and roller derby and stories? That's what I want to do and you can help me by voting today. Voting ends June 3.
I did it. I took an action step toward a dream. Oprah is having an open casting call and I submitted a video. Putting the video together has been a wild journey in and of it self and I learned so much from it.
In January 2009 I posted a blog about being the president in my own life and stepping into my leadership potential. In my mind, submitting the video is my way of saying, "and I mean it."
I'm posting the YouTube version of the video here but I'd also like to ask you to watch it and vote on it over at Oprah.com. Click here to go straight to my page.
Thanks for your support.
