Let's try something different this year....because this year is.....DIFFERENT! So many people are going to be stuck at home...but you don't need to be stuck; not when CoronaTV is there for you.So come and hang with me as we revisit NYE - New Year's Streamin' Eve to be specific. I had some show regulars and previous guests swing by and offer up their New Year's resolutions. (and don't forget the Champagne!) PS This show is "unofficially" sponsored by Planet Fitness!

Melanie Deziel is an award-winning branded content creator and lifelong storyteller, but what I saw when I was doing my pre-show research was mom, entrepreneur, innovator and generous giver.She’s my last guest of 2020 and I couldn’t be more excited to discuss a whole swash of topics with her from being an entrepreneur as a mom AND launching a new book in pandemic, to reviewing her list of recommended books.PS Melanie – if you’ve been watching the show, you’ll know that you’re going to leave today with homework… Learn more about your ad choices.

Murray Nossel was one of my favorite guests. We discussed the power of listening, active listening and actually how important it is to the narrative itself. Phrases like “forensic listening” and “listen a question” stuck with me. So when he recommended his CEO, Jerome Deroy, come on the show, I didn’t hesitate. In addition to continuing the thread on listening and storytelling, we’ll discuss something completely original: new hires and employee onboarding pre-, during and post-2020.

Fridays are not awesome because they usher in the weekend, but because they bring together 5 previous CoronaTV guests and not just any 5, but David Meerman Scott, Faith James, Eaon Pritchard (if he wakes up), Kuda Biza and Mark Schaefer.Each of my 5 guests will have a 5-minute slot to introduce the topic of their choice and then collectively, we’ll discuss. I don’t know the topics in advance; nor do I necessarily want to know them.Plus I’ll show you the best of the week that was in the form of my 1-minute CoronaByte highlights.This week you’ll hear from Nate Woodbury, Kerry O’Shea Gorgone, Tom Deierlein and Farrah Bostic Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh Bernoff is the other half of Groundswell, which in my opinion sits in a very exclusive subset of seminal books that defined a time. The others? Wisdom of Crowds. The Tipping Point. The Cluetrain Manifesto. There are others, but this gives you an idea of how excited I am to welcome him to CoronaTV today.Oh and he just penned an article in the Boston Globe which appeared over the weekend. It’s called "Social Media broke America. Here's how to fix it."At least someone is paying attention and at the wheel! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
