The Douglas Coleman Show

As Chairman of GoDigital Media Group (godigitalmg.com), Jason Peterson and his four other companies -- Cinq Music a multi-Grammy winning indie label, publisher and distributor (cinqmusic.com), Latido Music, the #1 Hispanic targeted multi-platform music television network with over 3 billion streams per month (latidomusic.com), ContentBridge and AdShare (adshare.tv) have blazed the path to re-monetizing the music industry.
Five years ago, the music industry was the weak link in the entertainment industry, with revenues down over 50 percent. Peterson wondered where all the revenue went, since people were actually listening to more music, not less. While others spoke in apocalyptic terms about the music industry, Peterson knew that it could all be turned around, especially for the artist, and created a system.
Peterson has been a major force in changing the way music is marketed, consumed and distributed around the world. The music industry is booming once again! Artists signed or catalogs acquired by Peterson include Janet Jackson, T.I., Master P, Jason Derulo and Daddy Yankee. He’s produced dozens of major music videos that have won “Video of the Year” at the Gospel Music Awards, MTV Latin Video Music Awards as well as “Best Directorial Debut” at the MVPA awards. Most recently, he co-produced the video for Janet Jackson and Daddy Yankee’s “Made for Now.”
Peterson’s Adshare was one of the first companies to monetize music videos on YouTube, giving artists what amounts to an annuity for life. GoDigital Media Group invests in music as intellectual property, making music catalogs an ever more popular alternative investment. Cinq Music now leverages social media in ways never thought possible to unite fans and globalize artists of all genres.

Peterson was named Billboard’s top 100 POWER PLAYERS for 2018, Media Play News Magazine’s Top 40 under 40, the youngest producer to get a film accepted into Sundance, attended USC (Film Business) and obtained his law degree from Pepperdine University.

He is on the Boards of the following music organizations:
MERLIN: global collective bargaining organization for independent label
A2iM: the trade group for American independent labels
WIN: representing the global independent label community
Entertainment Merchants Association: representing the $43B/yr home entertainment industry

Seth David Radwell, author of American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation, is an internationally-known business executive and thought leader in consumer marketing. Earning a Master’s degree in Public Policy, from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, Mr. Radwell believes our democracy is in crisis today—and will remain so as long as we allow the extreme ends of the partisan spectrum to dominate our political debate.

Instead, Radwell proposes a dialogue between those Americans who make up the exhausted majority, dedicated to a new threefold mission: to educate the public about our country’s political history in the hopes of recommitting to our shared democratic values; to re-establish a civil and rational discussion to replace our divisive contemporary political discourse; and, to commence the long process of healing our nation for future generations.

In the book, Radwell offers caring Americans from every red and blue state—and those who question the system in which our country is built on—the opportunity to connect our history with the current events that have tested our freedom.

Prior to devoting his full-time to writing American Schism, Mr. Radwell served as President of e-Scholastic, the digital arm of the global children’s publishing and education conglomerate. In earlier roles he was President, Bookspan/Bertelsmann, where he was responsible for all editorial, marketing, media and digital functions for such iconic brands as Book of the Month Club, Doubleday Book Club, and Literary Guild—transforming the paper-based direct marketing business to multi-channel platforms. Under this sector, Radwell also conceived and developed the Black Expressions, and Mosaico Clubs, dedicated to expanding this retail channel to a diverse readership.

Seth David Radwell received a Master’s degree in Public Policy, from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude from Columbia College, Columbia University. He currently divides his time in New York, Los Angeles and Paris with his family.

Burton Hughes grew up tired of hearing the words, “That’s not for you,” that were so often uttered when he sought to escape his impoverished upbringing. He was a child who had endured so much that he had very little hope of getting out of his tragic and tumultuous environment. And the statistics were grim.

Witnessing the near murder of his mother, only to be thrust into unfathomable grief when he lost his older and revered brother – “stole his air.” But the inner mettle and strength in Burton wouldn’t die. He knew at a young age that he had a quality he couldn’t yet identify residing in him. It was hope, and the relentless and deep knowledge that more was out there also gave him the push he needed to escape his old life and reinforce that he would finally decide what was for him or not. Coupled with a never-say-die work ethic, fierce intellect, and literal model good looks, Burton wasn’t comfortable with his gifts.

Then one horrific day, he almost lost it all. His life hung in the balance. The lowest point of his life taught him how much he had to live for: that he was called to have more in life and that people were out there waiting for him to lift them up to find their own liberation and success.
Fueled by his discovery of the Six Assets of Alignment, Burton dismantled the logic of the work-life balance concept, instructing his clients instead in the art of aligning the six major assets of their lives most needing cultivation.

The Assets of Mindset, Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Network require varying levels of attention, according to the goal-plan devised. He lives by the Six Assets of
Alignment every day and encourages people to follow his lead, knowing their own personal brand of success is waiting for them.

After implementing the Six Assets of Alignment into his life, he empowered himself to establish various businesses, modeled for multiple media outlets, and coached clients in reaching their elite life goals. He continues to strive for greatness every day.
Burton and his family, including his three adorable daughters, live in Dallas, Texas.

He judged the Costa Book of the Year and the BBC Radio Drama Prize and writes for magazines about showbiz and horseracing.

Shane Wilson is a storyteller. No matter the medium, the emphasis of his work is on the magical act of the story, and how the stories we tell immortalize us and give voice to the abstractions of human experience. His first two contemporary fantasy novels, set in his World of Muses universe, are currently available.

Born in Alabama and raised in Georgia, Shane is a child of the southeastern United States where he feels simultaneously at-home and out-of-place. He graduated from Valdosta State University in south Georgia with a Masters in English. He taught college English in Georgia for four years before moving to North Carolina in 2013.
Shane plays guitar and writes songs with his two-man-band, Sequoia Rising. He writes songs as he writes stories--with an emphasis on the magic of human experience. He tends to chase the day with a whiskey (Wild Turkey 101) and a re-run of The Office.

Shane's novels are A Year Since the Rain (Snow Leopard Publishing, 2016) and The Smoke in His Eyes (GenZ Publishing, 2018). Shane's short story, "The Boy Who Kissed the Rain" was the 2017 Rilla Askew Short Fiction Prize winner and was nominated for a 2018 Pushcart Prize. Shane is currently at work on a new novel.
