Make Education Worth the Time

Lost your trust?

Have you looked in the mirror lately? Well it is time to look at yourself through the inner mirror. What has happened to your trust? Have you lost trust in your fellow man? It would seem to me that more than ever we have gone from trusting people to figuring that everyone is out to [...]

Student Power

One of the most under used resources is our youth. We know this, we talk about youth all the time BUT are we doing anything about it? No. Well I am doing my part, sure I am patting myself on the back but hey what are you doing? I make it possible for students at [...]

Plan fitness like your retirement!

How many of us have detailed plans for our retirement? And how many of us have taken a bit of time to plan our career? And do we plan and work on our relationships? I suspect most would answer yes and to what degree for each question. What about your life fitness? Do you have [...]

Student Radio!

There are a lot of ways to create and manage student media today. And to be honest students, high school students, are very media savvy today. But what about students not pretending to do radio but actually doing it for real? How often to we hear students on our local commercial or national radio networks [...]

An Artists Mind

I had the opportunity to speak to the music sensation Rash Radio on my ever popular radio show on Dubai Eye. Honest, sincere and real. I loved his answer to the question about writers block. Rash said that he felt like every song was his last and then the next one just seemed to arrive [...]

Prepared for New Media?

Are we prepared or are we preparing for the world of new media? No! The old media is not preparing for the new media environment and new media enthusiasts are failing to actually figure our how to connect with an audience in a meaningful and sustained way! But it is not all doom and gloom. [...]

Talking to TED, well people who have been…

I have been really fortunate to have been to 2 TED events, one in 2009 and the other in 2011. TED in Long Beach was great but it was TEDActive in Palm Springs that blew my mind. One of my passions has been to talk to as many TEDsters on the radio, I host a [...]

Career Path Fog

One of the things I have become fascinated by is how people get into their careers. Sometimes, as a professor of communication and media sciences, I am uneasy talking about career options becasue who knows where you might end up with a communication degree. Sure many, maybe even the majority of grads ,will travel along [...]

My Radio Inspiration.

It is really easy to look around at others and want to have a bit of what they have. But as of late I have been looking at myself and I realize that I have the life! I am a successful University professor here in Dubai in the Middle East, my students seem to think [...]
