No CommentI’ve always wanted to start up a school based on the teachings that I have learnt from life. I feel the lessons taught in Music, Television, Film & Sport probably helped me more than any teacher from school and furthered my career than my degree. I have tested these in 3 areas to help teach others so far:
As a trainer in social media I often use references from the 4
When I helped improve Borderline D/C students increase their grades (B/As) in English GCSE coursework (was littered with references).

Right now i’m reading “Do you” by Russell Simmons. Great book but it’s more of a spiritual journey rather than a “How to make money in business” type book. I started reading it about a year ago but it was too “much” for me then. Now i’m in a different place and starting to hear the words rather than just read them.

It’s no secret that the power of Facebook made RATM victory, so here at The Worst Kept Secret we took it upon ourselves to have a bit of fun and see what TV reality music stars have the largest presence on Social Media.
We used the big 4: Facebook …
While I was waiting for the facebook username to launch (note to facebook: could you have picked a better time than 5 a.m. in the UK?), I was watching reruns of The Sopranos. Now, not only do I think Sopranos is the greatest artistic achievement in the last 10 years (ok, im slightly exaggerating) but also Tony soprano is one of my favourite television characters in recent times (along with Ari Gold from Entourage).

Most people probably watched it online – I know I did – but would the hype, news stories and even Kanye himself taking to his blog site to comment about it, have happened without the influence of social media? I think not. Here’s why.
The Pre-Match Hype: As soon as it was announced that Kanye West was going to be on ‘South Park’, the bloggers were the first to go crazy …
One of the best TV series I have seen in the last five years is The Wire. Not only does the show tackles real issues and has a high entertainment value, it is also one of the few shows that unite all races, genders and creeds.
You will start to see a lot of blog posts related to The Wire as we have learned numerous lessons from the show, especially from how Avon and Marlon ran their business. However, this one is …
