Kelli Richards July 11, 2013

On this week’s Blog Talk Radio Show I spoke with Debbie Gisonni, a best selling author, holistic lifestyle advisor, and corporate leader who inspires people to make simple changes that radically improve their self-awareness, well-being and success. A charismatic speaker and media guest, she is the CEO of Stillheart Institute, and was one of the first and youngest women publishers in high tech, as Publisher of Network Computing and Publishing Director who launched InternetWeek.

Debbie was one of the first woman publishers in the high tech industry, but when four of her family members died in just four years, her personal life was shattered. She began a mission to help others overcome life-altering events and now advises people from workers to executives on how to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Health an fitness have been an integral part of Debbie’s life since childhood when she would watch Jack LaLanne with her mother and she’s known for doing an entire body workout while sitting in an airplane seat. She’s an Italian foodie, who at age 45 appeared in the Ponds commercial for being 40 and fabulous. Debbie has written the non-fiction books, The Goddess of Happiness: A Down-to-Earth Guide for Heavenly Balance and Bliss and Vita’s Will: Real Life Lessons About Life, Death & Moving On.

An Intimate Talk with Michael Dorf of The Knitting Factory and City Winery

Kelli Richards July 5, 2013

I recently invited Michael Dorf, former chairman and CEO of The Knitting Factory and founder of City Winery, to talk with me on my Blog Talk Radio show, All Access Radio. Michael, being the entrepreneur that he is, started the Knitting Factory, a combination café, art, and performance space housed in Lower Manhattan at age 23. He left the Knitting Factory in 2003 and transformed his career from art and music to incorporate another passion, wine. He created City Winery in 2007, the first fully operational winery in Manhattan.

My path first crossed Dorf’s in 1994 when he produced the Apple MACFEST, the first on going live streaming of music from a club. This was during my tenure running the music initiatives at Apple with a small team. It has been a long time since we’ve connected, but in the interview we both confessed to following each other’s careers on the Internet.

When asked about his early experience with Apple MACFEST and how it opened doors for him he responded, “We were mimicking and experimenting with what we were doing at the Knitting Factory and tried to make it into a large festival with what we were doing with Apple. It felt like experimentation. No one really knew what was going on. We knew this was a potentially powerful tool, but we didn’t really understand it.“ He went on to say, “When you’re a promoter or a true promoter, your role is to connect the music and artists to as many people as you can and do it in a way that makes sense for all parties – the audience, the performers, and the venders. Really, that was the approach we were taking and we just though that was a really powerful way of expanding what we were doing.”

Our interview provided insight into his time as CEO of the Knitting Factory and the bridge between that career and his current venture, City Winery. To hear the full interview, click here.

An Inside Look At My Relationship with Irene Cara

Kelli Richards June 10, 2013

In the video below, I briefly discuss my working relationship with Irene Cara, singer and actress. Cara is most famous for her role in Fame and her Academy Award winning song, “Flashdance…What a Feeling.”

One of the tag lines of her song Fame was, “Remember my name,” so the irony was apparent when she called me and said, “You don’t know me, but my name is Irene Cara.” Of course, I did know her. Watch the video below to hear about our relationship and to hear more, visit my website to hear our full interview.
