We live in a great country, but we can forget that sometimes amid all the negativity of the election process. Chicken Soup’s latest edition takes us on a journey across our beautiful nation, meeting our veterans, active service members and their families; revisiting the patriotism and unity of 9/11; showing you the ingenuity and positive attitude that we’re known for; displaying the diversity of our geography and our people. Be introduced to proud new citizens who remind us how lucky we are to live here—with our freedom to advance, to move, and to express ourselves, reminding us why we are proud to be an American. Forward writer Lee Woodruff, who is married to broadcaster Bob Woodruff, says, “The people you meet in these pages, and the tales they tell, will remind you why we are the most fortunate people in the world—Americans.” Join Amy Newmark, the publisher and editor-in-chief for Chicken Soup and me on Tuesday, June 28, 10-11 A.M. CT US. Be inspired about how much the red, white and blue means to us, as we celebrate this 4th of July with a renewed appreciation for our country and its people. 

Today I tell the story of how 4 unlikely partners, 3 hip-hop artists, 2 epic failures and 1 ulcer lead to me becoming a filmmaker.What as the last funny anecdote you heard, or perhaps told. I bet you a million dollars it was tied to yours of someone else's pain, suffering and/or unfortunate mishap. Naturally, you couldn't laugh about it then. But today it's fair game. Why is there such an uncanny relationship between tragedy and time? Pain and posterity? Today we're going to look at that dynamic and use as a case study my short-lived experience as a wannabe hip-hop mogul. Hilarity will ensue.In the second segment of the show I introduce a new segment called "Shooting Sunshine." It's a mini Radio Film School series about the making of a short documentary film series called Mixed in America: Stories of Race Relations & Identity in the Proverbial Melting Pot. This is a personal project I started way back in 2011.Finally, after the credits we have another funny bonus segment.This episode is sponsored by Song Freedom.
