GHP #78 - Changing How Consumers Think of the News with Muhammad Lila!
Episode 78 is with Muhammad Lila, Founder & CEO of Goodable!
Muhammad is an award-winning journalist, media founder, and strategist who leads multi-platform teams and creates content across all platforms. He specializes in taking complex subject matter and distilling it into easy-to-understand content that is designed to create impact. Muhammad holds a vast wealth of experience ranging from CNN, ABC, CBC, and now Goodable.
Goodable is one of the fastest growing news networks today. Using proprietary AI technology to search through thousands of news sources, the company identifies the best stories designed to make you happier and informed, all while avoiding negativity and the fear mongering we are accustomed to in news headlines.
Their tagline: "Give us Five Minutes, we’ll give you a whole new world!"
We sit down to speak with Muhammad about his career in journalism. He details his experiences in war zones, being targeted by ISIS and the Taliban with suicide bombers, how the newsroom and information landscape has changed over generations, and how Goodable is helping solve some of these problems we see today.
This was an incredibly profound conversation that touched on so many current and significant events that we hope you enjoy!
