INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed filmmaker Warren D. Robinson (image below).

Robert Kennedy Jr. announced lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate for the 2024 Presidential election. Shanahan is not well known amongst the general public and her largest claim to fame happens to be the fact that she was once married to one of the co-founders of Google.  “Her anonymity is both a plus and a negative,” says entertainment executive, producer and attorney Warren D. Robinson, “with very little out there in the public sphere she doesn’t have to fight to win over people who already have a negative view of her nor does she have much on the public record to defend. On the other side of the coin she also isn’t bringing anybody to the table, which is the greatest benefit of fame.” Robinson contends that Kennedy Jr. is only polling as high as he is because of his fame-or more accurately his famous name. “The media is only interested in the candidacy because he is named Bobby Kennedy Jr.” Says Robinson, “anyone else, even any other Kennedy the media would be paying scant attention. There are other candidates running for office (Cornel West, Dean Phillips) we’ve heard almost nothing about them. So it’s ironic in a way a candidate who profited off his name chose a running mate with no name ID.” Robinson does admit, that while Shanahan may not be well known she possess something perhaps equally as important, “she’s rich, nobody seems to know just how rich but those pockets ostensibly run mighty deep and RFK is going to need a lot of money if he wants any shot at drawing significant numbers at the ballot box.”

 

According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’

 

“Warren D. Robinson, is an avid and accomplished entertainment executive, motivational speaker, host, life coach and award winning producer who created the wildly popular series, Buried by the Bernards, which is currently streaming on Netflix.

 

“Warren has served as an entertainment consultant, manager and producer, facilitating, appearing and negotiating high powered deals on behalf of his clients in front of such companies as: Warner Brothers, BET, CNN, Freemantle, Best Buy, TV ONE, Netflix, Lifetime, Fox News, WE TV, E!, NBC Universal, Viacom and more. In addition, Warren’s entertainment prowess includes coordinating, partnering and/or producing events for: legendary actress Pam Grier, Taraji P Henson, Gabrielle Union, Vivica A Fox, Soul singer Eddie Levert (of the O’Jays), Comedian Mike Epps, Angie Stone, Flavor Flav, the Indianapolis Colts, Donna Joyner-Richardson, Stephanie Mills, Erykah Badu and Tom Joyner among others. Warren graduated from Indiana University (B.A.-Political Science) and Howard University School Of Law (J.D.).”
