Huff Post Live, February 7, 2013
Huff Post Live invited my husband and me to participate in their segment honoring Grandparents Day on Sept 7, 2014. The best part of the whole 20 minute segment was a surprise at the end: our 2 granddaughters, Juliet, 11 and Amelia, 7, sent a short video telling us why they loved us. What a sweet gift for Grandparents Day! (Update note 2020 – the referenced 2014 Huffington Post video has been removed on their website by them.)
“Ask Dr. Business” TV Show
On February 18, 2010, I was the guest on Ask Dr. Business, a cable television show hosted by Roy Blitzer at the Media Center in Palo Alto, CA. Roy has been producing and hosting the show for ten+years and focuses on how to make your work life more satisfying. During the show, he fields live phone calls from the television audience, dispensing advice on career management and interpersonal issues.
Roy is an animated host and I had a great time sitting in the guest spot telling him how the GaGa Sisterhood evolved and what our mission is. The show was supposed to air live but, due to a tragic plane crash in East Palo Alto the previous day, all the power had been knocked out and the systems were still not repaired by air time. Fortunately however, we were able to secure a taping to share with you here.
** (Note that the reference in the video to BigTent as the venue where GaGaSisterhood participants can connect was changed in January 2019 to Meetup. Visit our MeetUp information page to learn more about how you can join GaGaSisterhood.)
