Long gone are the days when home buyers would open a newspaper to look for properties for sale or look up names of real estate agents in a phonebook. Home-buyers today are online, therefore, it is imperative for any real estate agent to use social media in marketing their businesses and listings. Sure, any realtor can open a Facebook or Instagram account, however, it's not always clear on how to use social media as a marketing tool to send the right message to the right people at the right time.  Realtors who are heavily accustomed to employing old-school advertising tactics like Billboards, bus benches, and cold calls, can no longer deal this way.   Want to generate more real estate business? Then speak the language of your leads.  Listen in to this Podcast as I chat with R.K. Wilson, Licensed Realtor® Myers Realty and we will discuss some tips on how realtors can successfully sell on social media.

Tonight on Love Is Power, we are going to talk about the difference between Sex and Making Love as well as other things. We also have a special guest named Ziina. Ziina is a sing and song writer. Making Love is selfless. Sex can be selfish in a sense, because of the goal of self-gratification and separation there after with little to no physical contact until the next act of sex.    Making Love consists of the positive things you say and do from within your heart as a routine in effort to please not yourself, but your partner without the goal of self-gratification.    Couples/people have sex whether they’re in a relationship or not, in love or not in love, in the mood or not in the mood, like it or don’t like it. We also have a special guest. Ziina is joining also talking about the topic and her new song Making Love..

Although this topic is entitled Social Media and Depression, we all know that depression didn’t start with social media and mental illness has been around since Biblical days.  Even though the Bible doesn’t use the word “depression” it’s often referenced by other similar words, such as “downcast,” “brokenhearted,” “troubled,” “miserable,” “despairing,” and “mourning,” among others. On this Podcast, we will be discussing Depression and Mental Illness with Lorena Wooten, author of “Fight For Your Life!” Breaking the Curse of Mental Illness and Depression”  and why especially in the African American communities we are reluctant to talk about and hesitant to seek treatment.

It wasn’t too long ago that art education in schools was thought to be a luxury, and then art classes were cut from the curriculum to make room for more time to prepare for standardized tests. Currently, there is more and more information that shows how crucial the arts are to creating well-rounded, well-prepared learners and leaders.  Cultivating creativity in our kids is not only important in the schools but at home as well. On this Podcast, my specials guests are a father-son duo, Demetrius, and Bryce Bullock, artists, illustrators and authors from Wilmington, Delaware. 9-year old Bryce is preparing for his first signing as he launches his comic book, "Daddy Long Legs and the Inchworm" and Demetrius is preparing to play the role of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in the Stageplay, "The Meeting"
