[Thihs show was broadcast live during Hurricane Sandy, with Peter living in Times Square, on the borderline of the power outage. A true man of his word, he did the show.] Tonight I chat with the amazing PR and social media maven Peter Shankman (@petershankman), who simply has the Midas touch: a little Facebook group he started called "Help A Reporter Out" - better known as HARO -- in barely a year became a huge company that he sold for a substantial sum, and then became named Vice President. When Peter tweets, people pay attention, as Morton Steaks did when Peter jokingly tweeted a wish for Morton's to greet him at the airport with a steak... and they did! A little bio: Peter Shankman blames ADHD for most of his success. A serial entrepreneur, Peter is best known for founding Help A Reporter Out (HARO), the social media website that redefined how journalism and PR works by connecting millions of sources with hundreds of thousands of journalists around the world each day, for free. HARO was acquired by Vocus in 2010. Peter sits on the advisory board of NASA, is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Dell, and is a successful angel investor with multiple start-up companies in his portfolio. 2011 marked his entry into Hollywood, when he became Executive Producer on Right Next Door, a new film premiering soon. When he's not spending 90% of his time running through airports to catch a connecting flight, Peter is based in Times Square, New York.

Have you ever seen someone perform and thought, "This guy is going to be a household name one day!" That was what I thought when I saw Drew Gasparini's tour de force show, "Crazy Just Like Me" at a community theater in Marin County in California. A songwriter of many genres, this quadruple-threat marvel wrote an outstanding musical score, co-wrote the book, and acted and sung in the lead role. I've seen him three times at Joe's Pub in Manhattan, where he's brought on more performers in a night than you've seen in a year, who bring his many songs to life. He plays piano and guitar like it's nobody's business, and his gorgeous little sisters and his mom are about as talented as he is. Trust me, you will be hearing a lot more from Drew Gasparini. Connect with Drew on Twitter @drewgasparini.

A Conversation With My Father Tonight, for a special Labor Day show, I spent an hour chatting with my dad, Art Poretz, about some of the changes in the world of public relations, marketing and promotions since he was in that game back in the 50's through the 70's. We got to talk about some true and funny anecdotes of his career, as well as a few about me. Thanks, Dad!
