The LongesT swim
About two years ago, the producers of
Ridgeline Entertainment saw the need for
digital broadcast platform for social media.
That led to the creation of SmackDab. We
designed what we wanted for features
and we took it to the Chief Architect of
Facebook, Erin Niazi and asked him how
we could accomplish such a thing. As soon
as he looked at what we were doing he
just said, "This is the future boys; I want to
build this myself." SmackDab is a new video
application that is going to play SmackDab
in the middle of Facebook and is going to
change the way the entertainment history is
looked at and viewed.
Education gives you the power to speak your mind. It refines
your thoughts and awakens you; it brings about the change for
social well-being.

Thoughts on Education and Empowerment
Education is the great equalizer. No matter what your background
is or where you are from, it empowers you and frees you to
do more and be in society, fosters independence, tolerance,
community, and cooperation. Each of us plays a part: being open-
minded, always learning, and passing on wisdom and lessons
learned to the people around us.

Nothing brings me more pleasure than to
help people empower themselves with
self-confidence to strive towards reaching
their goals. It's amazing how a few words
of encouragement and support can go such
a very long way. Whether in business or
in my personal life, I make it a point to
help others recognize their own skills and
abilities. So many of us, myself included,
tend to fall victim to self-doubt, but I am
able to talk to a person and listen to what
they are struggling with and identify their
strengths and teach them how to use that to
their fullest advantage. I find it amazing each
time I speak to a new client or meet a new
person how they feel the things that they do
in life are trivial, when in all actuality they
are superstars!
