BioDeri Tyton is an Award-Winning Writer/Producer/Director, who grew up in Chicago enjoyingKung Fu, comedy, and action movies. As a very imaginative child growing up, he became interested in how films were made, but it wasn't until 1999 when he was invited to P.A. on an independent film set, which prompted him to write the screenplay, TOOT'S & BLOW'S, in 2001. As a self-taught filmmaker, Deri produced three critically sought-out films: Welcome To The Southside, The Party Line, and Love Bones. In each of these films, Deri deals with personal themes of Love & Sacrifice. While each film has had distribution, it was his latest independent film, FINDING FOREVER IN LOVE (2015), that has pushed his writing, directing, and producing endeavors to new heights with a distribution deal at Robert Johnson's streaming channel, Urban Movie Channel. He has since gone on to co-write web series, independent films, and television series, as well as produce a screenwriter's book entitled, The Film Mechanic: The Process to Writing A Screenplay That Works. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from Chicago State University and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Class Salutatorian) from Full Sail University. As a 2017 and 2018 Fulton County Arts & Culture grant recipient in Atlanta, GA, he began The Film Mechanic Screenwriting Class which teaches writers the process and business of screenwriting. Deri's truest goal is to tell universal stories through his experiences of being Black in America.BioDr. India Dorsey Gaston, Ph.D., artistically known as Indi Tyton, is an internationalsinger-songwriter, filmmaker, educator, and entrepreneur whose career bridges the creative andbusiness sides of the entertainment industry.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has made headlines over the past few days, most notably due to the indefinite postponement of a planned NSYNC reunion tour. According to Reality Tea, every band member was ready to celebrate the group's 30th anniversary with a series of major concerts, but those plans are now on hold because Timberlake is battling Lyme disease. Insider sources quoted in US Weekly say JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick remained fully committed, but Timberlake's health understandably takes precedence. NSYNC supporters recall that Timberlake completed his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in July despite the illness, earning praise even from bandmate Chris Kirkpatrick, who called his perseverance superhero status.This health development is widely seen as a significant biographical moment. The NSYNC anniversary and possible reunion tour would have marked one of Timberlake's most commercially and personally important comebacks in years. The fact that his illness has halted those plans signals not just a pause in his performing career but also affects the trajectory of NSYNC's legacy as a supergroup. Timberlake's battle with Lyme disease is authentic news, and public speculation now focuses on how quickly he'll recover and whether a future NSYNC reunion is even possible.On the business front, Timberlake's financial empire continues to grow. The Tradable just reported that his net worth has reached an astonishing 400 million dollars in 2025, with earnings from touring, royalties, and ventures such as his William Rast clothing brand and real estate deals. The most transformative deal remains his 2022 sale of his entire song catalog to Hipgnosis Song Management for around 100 million dollars. He now brings in 50 to 60 million dollars annually, making him one of entertainment's top earners.There was social media buzz earlier this week revisiting Timberlake's 2017 appearance at the Pilgrimage Music Festival, but the mention—circulating especially on Threads—was more nostalgic than tied to any current projects. Meanwhile, recent news from The Celeb Post and AOL described a concert he held at a racecourse that authorities deemed dangerously overcrowded, triggering restrictions on future events at the venue, though Timberlake himself faced no legal charges.Financially, there have been rumors about Timberlake losing millions on the sale of his Memphis golf course, a business decision that—while a hit to his portfolio—is unlikely to affect his overall financial standing given his current net worth. Public reaction is more focused on his health and the NSYNC tour's status than his real estate or business ventures.Headlines about Timberlake this week aren't about new releases or TV appearances—they center on his health battle, the fate of NSYNC, and the business moves that secure his legacy as a major force in pop culture. Speculation remains high about when he'll return to the stage and what surprises may await if an NSYNC reunion does materialize.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Dolly Parton has been at the center of several headline-grabbing developments cementing her legend not only in country music but also as an entertainment and business icon. The most significant news broke on August 5th when Guinness World Records honored Dolly as an official Guinness World Records Icon to mark Dolly Parton Day. This is particularly biographically meaningful; she now boasts 11 Guinness records with achievements such as most consecutive decades with Top 10 album entries on the Billboard country chart and the longest span of No.1 hits for a female artist—her reach now celebrated not just for music but for her transformative impact on poverty relief, education, and child literacy. According to Guinness Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday, Dolly's real distinction comes from life-changing projects like her Imagination Library. The presentation took place in Nashville studios with plenty of media coverage.On the business front her profile soared again with the grand opening of Dolly Wines Bar inside Nashville's Assembly Food Hall on August 1. The wine bar features the Dolly Wines label, a collaboration between Parton Family Cellars and Accolade Wines, extending her knack for fun and hospitality to yet another enterprise. U.S. fans can sample her signature California chardonnay and pinot noir along with a peach sangria, while UK fans can enjoy exclusive rose and prosecco varieties. Social media lit up following the opening; Instagram fans flocked to post selfies under the bar's bright blue lights and a giant Jolene-inspired portrait, while media outlets like News 19 and Parade highlighted Dolly's infectious entrepreneurial spirit and ability to draw crowds with even a sip of her signature style.Her business moves continue as Parade and WYRK reported that she's prepping a $75 million Nashville hotel The Songteller, set to welcome guests in 2026, complete with music venues and a museum dedicated to her legacy—a long-term investment likely to become a central pilgrimage for fans and scholars alike.The biggest entertainment buzz of the week came from Nashville's Fisher Center at Belmont University during the premiere of Dolly: A True Original Musical, which dramatizes her life and career. Instagram exploded with scenes of Dolly stunning on the red carpet and taking the stage to announce three actresses cast as Dolly through various ages. Media outlets ranging from Country Living to Music Row covered her appearance and the enthusiastic applause for the autobiographical show, deepening her cultural footprint as both a living legend and trailblazing storyteller.If all that wasn't enough, Dollywood, her signature theme park, has just been recognized as the #1 Amusement and Water Park in America by Tripadvisor for 2025, beating out Disney and Universal Studios—a pointed reminder that Dolly's influence in entertainment, hospitality, and business simply knows no bounds.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Jason Robins, CEO and Co-Founder of DraftKings (DKNG), joins Sam Vadas to discuss his company's latest earnings, which included record quarterly revenue. He says management is keeping their sights on the company's long-term prospects. One key tailwind Jason sees for DraftKings is how the company currently only reaches half of the U.S. population, which will grow as regulation increases. One headwind comes from some states raising taxes, though Jason believes the company's balance sheet can soak up the cost.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Our U.S. Media & Entertainment Analyst Benjamin Swinburne discusses how GenAI is transforming content creation, distribution and also raising some serious ethical questions. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ben Swinburne, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Media and Entertainment Analyst. Today – GenAI is poised to shake up the entertainment business. It's Wednesday, July 23, at 10am in New York.It's never been easier to create art for anyone – with a little help from GenerativeAI. You can transform photos of yourself or loved ones in the style of a popular Japanese movie studio or any era of visual art to your liking. You can create a short movie by simply typing in a few prompts. Even I can speak to youin several different languages. I can ask about the weather:Hvordan er været i dag?Wie ist das wetter heute?आज मौसम कैसा है? In the media and entertainment industry, GenAI is expected to bring about a seismic shift in how content is made and consumed. A recent production used AI to de-age actors and recreate the likeness of a deceased performer—cutting what used to take hundreds of VFX artists a year to just a few months with a small team. There are many other examples of how GenAI is revolutionizing how stories are told, from scriptwriting and editing to visual effects and dubbing. In music, GenAI is helping music labels identify emerging talent and generate new compositions. GenAI can even create songs using the voices of long-gone artists – potentially extending revenue far beyond an artist's lifetime. GenAI-driven tools have the potential to reduce TV and film production costs by 10–30 percent, with animation and post-production among the biggest savings opportunities. GenAI could also transform how content reaches audiences. Recommendation engines can become even more predictive, using behavioral data to serve up exactly what listeners want—sometimes before we know what we want. And there's more studios can achieve in post production. GenAI can already dub content in multiple languages, even syncing mouth movements to match the new dialogue. This makes global distribution faster, cheaper, and more culturally relevant. With better engagement comes better monetization. Platforms will use GenAI to introduce new pricing tiers, targeted advertising, and personalized superfan content that taps into niche audiences willing to pay more. But all this innovation brings up profound ethical concerns. First, there's the issue of consent and copyright. Can GenAI tools legally use an actor's name, likeness or voice? Then there's the question of authorship. If an AI writes a script or composes a song, who owns the rights? The creator or the GenAI model? Labor unions are understandably worried. In 2023, AI was a major sticking point in negotiations between Hollywood studios and writers' and actors' guilds. The fear? That AI could replace human jobs or devalue creative work. There are also legal battles. Multiple lawsuits are underway over whether AI models trained on copyrighted material without permission violate intellectual property laws. The outcomes of these cases could reshape the entire industry. But here's a big question no one can ignore: Will audiences care if content is AI-generated? Some consumers are fascinated by AI-created music or visuals, while others crave the emotional depth and authenticity that comes from human storytelling. Made-by-humans could become a premium label in itself. Now, despite GenAI's rapid rise, not every corner of entertainment is vulnerable. Live sports, concerts, and theater remain largely insulated from AI disruption. These experiences thrive on real-time emotion, unpredictability, and human connection—things AI can't replicate. In an AI-saturated world, the value of live events and sports rights will rise, favoring owners of sports rights and live platforms. So where do we go from here? By and large, we're entering an era where storytelling is no longer limited by budget or geography. GenAI is lowering the barriers to entry, expanding the creative class, and reshaping the economics of media. The winners in this new landscape will likely be companies that can scale—platforms with massive user bases, deep data pools, and the engineering talent to integrate GenAI seamlessly. But there's also room for agile newcomers who can innovate faster than the incumbents and disrupt the disrupters. No doubt, as the tools get better, the questions get harder. And that's where the real story begins. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Alexis Garcia Alexis Garcia, born and raised in Miami, Florida, is an accomplished film producer, studio executive, and entrepreneur, widely recognized for his role in launching and scaling high-impact film ventures across the independent and studio landscape. He is the founder of CAT5, a turnkey production and financing company focused on high-concept, independently made action films, and co-founder of Brass Knuckle Films alongside acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez. Most recently, Garcia served as Head of Film at Fifth Season (formerly Endeavor Content), where he led the production and financing of over 40 films over 5 years. His portfolio includes major releases such as Ambulance (dir. Michael Bay), 80 for Brady (Paramount), The Peanut Butter Falcon (SXSW Audience Award), Monkey Man (dir. Dev Patel), The Long Game (SXSW Grand Jury Winner), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (starring Vince Vaughn), and The Lost Daughter (3 Academy Award nominations). In 2025, three of Garcia's movies reached audiences in a major way - A Working Man (Amazon/MGM, starring Jason Statham) opened #1 at the U.S. box office, Nonnas (Netflix) opened #1 on Netflix and became one of the platform's top titles of the year, and Friendship (SXSW premiere, starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd) opened as the year's top grossing limited theatrical release and was heralded as the return of the R rated cinematic comedy. Earlier, as a partner and agent at WME, Garcia helped package and sell hundreds of critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, including Drive (Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling), The Nice Guys (Shane Black, starring Gosling and Russell Crowe), and The Favourite (Yorgos Lanthimos). He also spearheaded strategic initiatives such as the creation of foreign sales company Bloom, and led Endeavor's expansion into China, brokering talent ventures (Sylvester Stallone, David Goyer, Russo Brothers) and co-production deals with major studios like Perfect World, Tencent, and Village Roadshow. Garcia began his career as an entertainment attorney before joining Endeavor in 2007, rising to become a partner and later helping spin out the agency's content arm into what became Endeavor Content. He played a pivotal role in the division's growth from a sales and service operation into a vertically integrated production studio, culminating in its acquisition by CJ ENM. A graduate of Vanderbilt University with a JD from UCLA School of Law, Garcia continues to drive innovation in film production by bridging traditional Hollywood models with cutting-edge audience engagement and alternative financing strategies. He and his family (Tracy, Noa, Ozi and Busta) are proud Coconut Grove residents, having moved from Los Angeles in August of 2021.

Greetings from Thailand!  Z-Machine's exciting independent 3-part docuseries, “Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison. ” The first of its kind documystery series clocks in at a total of 3.5-hours (each episode is just over an hour in length) and will make its global TVOD/Digital release on January 13, 2025, following Morrison's 81st birthday, available on all the major platforms of Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and YouTube TV. A dozen years in the making, Before the End's cryptic tagline encapsulates its investigative approach: “One Man. Countless Myths. And in between lies the truth.” Z-Machine founder, Jeff Finn's extraordinary detail work breaks the decades-long hermetic seal on the traumatic formative years that forged a brief hellacious life, through Morrison's controversial career as lead singer of the legendary 1960s rock band, The Doors, to his reported 1971 death by “heart failure” in Paris at age 27. Morrison's ostensible demise, technically an unsolved cold case, formed its own rabbit hole of reasonable doubt, which inspired Finn to consult with private investigators and forensic analysts. Before the End transcends “rock doc” in the same sense that Jim Morrison was more than a rock star. Featuring unprecedented content, from shocking corroboration about Morrison's early life to harrowing revelations about his stardom, and fresh evidence that contradicts his professed death, Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison is proudly unauthorized because it “seeks the unvarnished truth.” The documystery reverse-engineers long-controlled narratives while it explores the notion of Morrison the nonconformist as neurodivergent, and deconstructs - through on-camera interviews with family, friends, lovers, classmates, and associates – key distinctions between Jim Morrison, “rock god,” and James Douglas Morrison, an introverted outsider.

In a waterfront campground off the coast of Virginia, residents spend their summers living spitting distance apart in rust-bitten RVs. They chuckle about the modest rent they pay for a million-dollar location, but what makes them the luckiest people in the world is more than just stunning sunsets, it's the community they've created. Beneath cliched trailer park stereotypes lies an unlikely utopia where all are welcome. Neighbors help each other out, and share everything from power tools to simple pleasures. Loneliness and isolation are inconceivable.  When their affordable paradise is sold to developers, the residents brace for eviction and the loss of friendships that span generations. They hold tight to their final days in the sun. The well-heeled crowd that takes their place will never be as wealthy.

In 2004, Rod became chief executive officer of Roddenberry Entertainment, a science fiction leader with a tradition of groundbreaking entertainment. The company builds on the best of Gene Roddenberry's work and continues to develop a multimedia slate of thought-provoking projects spanning film, television, graphic novels, comic strips, podcasts and other mediums. Rod is executive producer of Star Trek: Discovery, heading into its third season in 2020, as well as the live-action Star Trek: Picard and the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, to debut in 2020.

Dr. Marcus Collins is an award-winning marketer and cultural translator with one foot in the world of practice—formerly serving as the Head of Strategy at Wieden+Kennedy, New York—and one foot in the world of academia—as a marketing professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. 
 
 His deep understanding of brand strategy and consumer behavior has helped him bridge the academic-practitioner gap for blue-chip brands and startups alike. He is a recipient of Advertising Age's 40 Under 40 award and Crain's Business' 40 Under 40 award, and an inductee into the American Advertising Federation's Advertising Hall of Achievement. Most recently, he was recognized by Thinkers50 with the Radar Distinguished Achievement Award for the idea most likely to shape the future of business management. He has also served as a jury for the Cannes Lion International Festival of Creativity. 
 Before joining Wieden+Kennedy, he served as the Chief Consumer Connections Officer at Doner Advertising and led Social Engagement at Steve Stoute's advertising agency, Translation. Over the course of his career, Marcus has developed a practice for creating culturally contagious ideas that inspire people to take action. His strategies and creative contributions have led to the launch and success of Google's “Real Tone” technology, the “Made In America” music festival, the Brooklyn Nets, and State Farm's “Cliff Paul” campaign – among others.
 
 Prior to his advertising tenure, Marcus began his career in music and tech with a startup he co-founded before working on iTunes + Nike sport music initiatives at Apple and running digital strategy for Beyoncé. 
 
 Marcus' work centers squarely on the impact of culture and the power that comes from having great cultural proximity. His best-selling book, For The Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be, examines the influence of culture on consumption and unpacks how everyone from marketers to activists can leverage culture to get people to take action. Throughout the book, he relies on literature, case studies, his work with brands, and academic data to illustrate the “whys” and the “hows” so that readers will be empowered to successfully apply these learnings in their own pursuits.
 Marcus holds a doctorate in marketing from Temple University where he studied cultural contagion and meaning-making. He received an MBA with an emphasis on strategic brand marketing from the University of Michigan, where he also earned his undergraduate degree in Material Science Engineering. He is a Forbes columnist and a trusted voice among CMOs and business leaders. But most importantly, he is a proud Detroit native, a devoted husband, and a loving father to Georgia and Ivy.

Rushion interviews Attorney Real Estate Developer Diana Lynch. Attorney Lynch has over two decades' worth of litigation experience in family law and holds a license in mediation and arbitration. She handles sports, entertainment, business law, and family law cases involving divorce, child custody, child support, and property division, and we will discuss her historic 1000-acre golf resort purchase in the Dominican Republic. But her primary purpose isn't just acquiring wealth for herself; it's inspiring the Black community to take on more ownership.   Rushion interviews Legendary R&B singer WILL DOWNING. He is affectionately dubbed as The Prince of Sophisticated Soul, with a repertoire consisting of signature interpretations of R&B classics like "I Go Crazy," "Wishing On A Star," "Stop Look & Listen," and "I Try," with original hits "A Million Ways," "After Tonight," "Sorry I," "Everything I Want in My Lady" and the show-stopping, chart-topping duet with Rachelle Ferrell, "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This."  He has released a new single, "Till We Meet Again."  The song offers a message of hope and understanding that will resonate with anyone who has faced mental health challenges. According to Will Downing, the song was inspired when he lost his daughter to suicide in January of 2023. He is on the show to discuss his career and the song, Till We Meet Again" to alert you to mental health issues and suicides.Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
