I luckily won again for this year's (9/28/24), but unfortunately couldn't stay the whole time due to unexpected weather. Global Citizen is a great non-profit organization advocating world issues, and accomplishing goals by society participating in their projects. Since 2012, they hold a free annual concert every last weekend in September, rewarding participants as winners to attend.

In April 2020, when the world was in the early months of COVID-19, you may remember the televised concert that Lady Gaga hosted called “One World: Together At Home.” This star-studded show was put together by Global Citizen, an international social justice organization that used the program to promote and support healthcare workers and the World Health Organization. The program was remarkable in harnessing pop culture to promote social justice issues. Michael Sheldrick, a co-founder of Global Citizen, believes leaders must adopt concepts like this to tackle the challenges in today's fractionalized culture. Drawing from real-life examples, Sheldrick shares this strategy in his book, From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World. Sheldrick identifies key characteristics of successful change makers: they are leaders who are practical implementers, connectors, and networkers. Sheldrick also has concrete advice, such as avoiding demands for unwavering loyalty and winning arguments at all costs. He outlines step-by-step tools to foster connections and cooperation and examines past and current movements that have made lasting impacts. Sheldrick believes that it'll take huge social changes to make an impact on today's biggest challenges. Lady Gaga's online concert in April 2020 was one example of how Sheldrick puts this into action. Now, he wants to share his toolkit with individual changemakers, philanthropists, professionals, corporate foundations, and students. These are the people, Sheldrick argues, who can drive the real solutions in our tumultuous world. Michael Sheldrick is a policy entrepreneur and Co-Founder and Chief Policy, Impact, and Government Affairs Officer at Global Citizen, where he spearheads campaigns to eradicate extreme poverty by rallying support from governments, businesses, and foundations. With a unique career bridging pop culture and policy, he has collaborated with renowned artists like Beyoncé, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and political figures including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Sheldrick has co-produced influential social campaigns and events like the Global Citizen Festival in New York and the Guinness World Record-winning virtual concert One World: Together At Home, reaching millions worldwide and securing over forty billion in commitments.

This week on The Obsessed Podcast, we're finally back with a brand new catch-up episode just in time for Mariah to announce that it's officially time to start the 2022 Christmas season! . We begin the episode to see if Ghia and Nick have found common ground from their argument during the last episode. Are the girls still fighting? Or are Ghia and Nick bestie lambs again? . Next we discuss Mariah's first live performance since the Caution era (at the Global Citizen Festival), and give our opinions from the concert, breaking it all down, from: the vocals to why she brought up that random comment about 9/11. . We then move on to Mariah's announcement for her (four) live Christmas shows this year in Toronto and at MSG. We discuss how excited we are that the Christmas concerts are finally happening again and we (of course) speculate! Are any of us going to make it to one of the shows this season, and is Mariah going to FINALLY sing, Miss You Most this year? . From there, we discuss Mariah's yearly,  "It's Time" moment,and where it ranks for us against all of her previous, "It's Time" moments. We then move on to the new merch/Wal-Mart collaboration that Mariah has released for the 2022 season. Is a $140 pyjama set worth it for us, and what were some of our favorite items from these merch drops? . Finishing up the episode ,we discuss Mariah's new childrens book, The Christmas Princess, as well as her first Christmas interview for the 2022 season with Jimmy Fallon. . Are ya'll excited for Mariah Season? Are you going to make it to one of Mariah's Christmas shows, and what are your thoughts on Mariah's new merch items?

Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor, presented an archived 1988 recording public. It's a song titled "Face It Alone", with late frontman Freddie Mercury singing lead! The track was intentionally recorded during the making of 1989 album The Miracle, but didn't make the cut on any of Queen's future work. In this episode, I'll review The Miracle's tracklist, "Face It Alone"'s music arrangements, and why it's out now.

Iraq's capital city has seen violent protests that left at least 21 dead after weeks of tensions. The spark was ignited after influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr announced on Twitter that he was quitting politics for good. This comes after his supporters were unable to form a government, despite winning the most seats in parliament last year. Al-Sadr's announcement sent a shockwave through Baghdad and his loyalists stormed the so-called Green Zone, prompting al-Sadr to apologize to the nation for the violence and urged protesters to go home. Correspondent Ben Wedeman has the latest. For more on the unrest, and to explain the background, Sara speaks with Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi, who as Iraq's deputy ambassador to the United Nations had firsthand experience of Iraqi politics and diplomacy.  Also on today's show: Craig Whitlock, author of The Afghanistan Papers, which examines how that country's war was sold -- and mis-sold -- to the public; Jason Reid, author of Rise of the Black Quarterback; Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans and Grammy Award-winning musician Angelique Kidjo on the 10th anniversary of the Global Citizen Festival.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

This weeks guest, Hugh Evans, is the CEO of Global Citizen. At 14, Australian-born Evans spent the night in a Manila slum. The harsh realities of his hosts' lives motivated Evans to challenge the status quo of extreme poverty. Following a trip to South Africa in 2002 as World Vision's inaugural Youth Ambassador, Evans worked on the Make Poverty History campaign and helped stage the Make Poverty History Concert (fronted by Pearl Jam and Bono). In 2011, under the mantle of the Global Poverty Project (launched 2008), Evans co-founded Global Citizen, and with it, the Global Citizen Festival -- a free, ticketed event requiring fans to perform anti-poverty actions in exchange for entry, recruiting millions into the war against global poverty. In 2015 alone, Global Citizens took 2.3 million actions, helping to secure commitments from governments around the world that are set to affect more than 210 million lives. In this episode we discuss the birth of Global Citizens, the power of education to change people's lives, How a night in the slums changed Hugh's perspective on life in addition to getting a Masterclass in Fundraising.
