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).
Former President Donald Trump has had an interesting legal week. In New York he has faced blistering testimony from his former fixer and attorney and that follows salacious testimony from porn star Stormy Daniels about her alleged affair with Donald Trump. “It has not been a good week in New York for Donald Trump.” Trump had better legal news in Georgia as the appeals court in the state agreed to hear an appeal on rather or not Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis should have been removed from his case over her affair with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade. “This has been a mixed week for Trump in legal news.” Says Robinson, “The hush money case has elicited some embarrassing information for Trump and we’ll have to wait and see what happens in Georgia. Ultimately, rather he is convicted or not, it’s hard to see how any of this will help get him elected. Trump’s biggest saving grace here is that the trial is not being televised and so most of the public isn’t watching.”
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.
