OWC's Leaders & Game Changers

The television hit Dukes of Hazzard ran from 1979 to '85, aired 147 episodes, and spanned seven seasons. Despite how long ago it left the air, yet there is on an ongoing nostalgic pedestal both celebrities and fans have for this fun-filled and action-packed show with John Schneider as Bo Duke.

On this exciting episode of OWC’s Leaders & Game Changers, being a car-loving woman, it is my honor and pleasure to learn from and speak with John Schneider.

His talent, range, and resume would make us all wonder how he fits so much into his days. John danced into our hearts on Dancing with The Stars, he has been a singer since the 80s with many albums that reached the top of the Billboard country singles charts, he owns and operates the John Schneider Studios where he writes and produces independent films.

John has performed on Broadway for numerous plays, he co-founded the Children's Miracle Network with Marie Osmond and her brothers, showed us the range of his acting abilities we admire in : The Haves and the Have Nots / Glee / Desperate Housewives / 90210 / CSI / Nip Tuck / Smallville / The Mummy / Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman / Christmas Cars / Stand On It and now his new film, Poker Run… to name just a few.

His drive to create, inspire, and do good is a testament to his loyal fans and love from the entertainment industry. He is a man that knows who he is, what he can do, and he makes entertainment magic happen.

On this episode of OWC’s Leaders & GameChangers, Setorii speaks with Quinton Aaron, star of The Blind Side. We all easily fell in love with him in his portrayal of Michael Oher, as he captured the hearts of everyone across the world. For people that know Quinton, time is never wasted as he fills his journey with acting in films and television shows, singing, and public speaking. He has a heart that is larger than life and his passion to impact as many people as possible is felt even before you get to hug him in person.

Quinton shares some heartfelt thoughts and feelings on this episode. "I have been through so much in my life," he says, "but I keep a smile on my face because I am still here. I have learned to let the positives be more magnetizing and more magnifying than the negatives. I don’t focus on the negatives. Ok, it happened. But how am I going to move forward? The positives I am appreciative of and grateful for. The negatives I learn from, and I apply forward."

The Power of ARt

A good movie can take us into different walks of life. They can entertain, they can educate, they can inspire us in countless ways. Films can make us compassionate. The power of audiovisuals can fuel us towards faith and humanity. Romantic movies remind us that love can be truly magical. Action Films produce adrenalin. No matter what the film is about, without the right cast and the true passion they put into their characters… authenticity is key for the impact we feel when watching.

Music can impact people beyond the melody or words. The right song at the right time can help fuel us, heighten our emotions, and pull a unifying bond out that complete strangers can feel and experience together through the hint of one melody.

In this episode of Leaders and Game Changers, you will feel and better understand the power of art.

"You really just need light on the car. But when you are doing beauty stuff, I always put the sun behind the car because you need a clean pallet to work from. I always say that light is like a garden hose with a sprayer at the end and so you spray light onto the car, and do you want to focus it like a thin line, or do you want to spray it? What would you like to do and where are you going to spray it from? So, what part of the car are you going to get wet with light?" – Evan Klein

"If we keep our eyes and ears open, we can learn from everyone in life… no exception. Collaborating allows us an enhanced experience and with a broader range of options. I don’t believe in competing. I do not care about proving I am right, or I am first. I want to collaborate and be able to communicate and share values and collaborating allows you to broaden the perspective that you have and it’s not about competing." – Loren Arbus
