The meeting was a great success. We opened it to the public and everyone enjoyed Rocky’s talk and his suggestions on how to get a job in showbiz. We video taped it for Rex Sikes’ Movie Beat and we will make this talk available as soon as possible.

Recently I had Rocky as a guest on Rex Sikes’ Movie Beat and the discussion we had is available on youtube and on spotify. Here are the links: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NHjuMiXWXw

Rocky’s biographical material and promo for our recent event follows.

Rocky Wagonhurst’s five-decade journey through the world of media is nothing short of extraordinary. He began in the 1970s as a Universal Studios tour guide and went on to appear on The Young and the Restless, star in national commercials, and play Laertes in a five-hour production of Hamlet.

He was also directed by Steven Spielberg in Minority Report alongside Tom Cruise and once soared 10,000 feet above Lake Tahoe in a glider with actor Cliff Robertson. His career has spanned radio, stage, and screen, ultimately leading him behind the camera as a seasoned television executive.

Currently, Rocky serves as Vice President and General Manager of The CW and My24 stations in Milwaukee, bringing his lifelong passion for storytelling and media innovation to local broadcasting.

Rocky will be talking on many topics; film, acting, television, AI, a career in the business and he will answer your questions!

Help Each Other While Helping Others

Leave a comment

As you may have read, we’ve been busy helping people help people.

If you read about the foundation we’ve created to help change lives then you know we are working to make a real difference in the everyday lives of everyday people.

Here’s s bit from the recent article I shared with you

“In a world flooded with content, what if every view, like, or share could actually change a life?

That’s the radical vision behind Heartspire Foundation and its global storytelling movement, Mission: 1 Billion—a movement turning cameras into compassion, and creative media into a financial engine for families navigating the hardest chapters of their lives.

But this isn’t just a campaign for awareness. It’s a fundraising force. And at the center of its launch is one of the most trusted names in child advocacy: Make-A-Wish.”

If you haven’t read the article you can read it here.

You can join us live online during the event Aug 16 by clicking the link in that article. So set the date on your calendar.

I invite you to go now and visit our website if you’d like to learn more about this important mission and how you can be involved.

MissionOneBillion.org

The world seems a turbulent place for so many and we’d like to help in ways we know we can and reach more and more people each day.

You’re invited to watch us OR to join us in this mission.

I’m excited by the difference we’re already making

AND how much more we can accomplish when good people act in unison and collaborate to do good and make things better for all.

We started with a big ambition and a small local event. We have more coming up and an important Make-A-Wish event August 16. 

It’s all growing. And the people joining us are excited and eager to be involved. Why? Because we are helping each other, collaborating together for each other WHILE helping others too.

So, read the article, visit our official website and decide how you will be a part of this global movement for positive change.
