Best advice your mom or dad
ever gave you? Golden rule: do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you. So simple, so
profound, yet so hard for people.
Worst advice your mom or dad
ever gave you? Be careful, don't
take too many risks. I obviously
didn't follow their advice!
If I ever get elected President,
my first executive order will
be: Increase teacher pay.
Your social media platform of
choice? Facebook, Instagram and
Snap for friends and family, Twitter
for business.
Bitcoin - pro or con? I haven't
invested, read advice from parents
above, but I do think it will become
a global currency alternative to
the government controlled ones
of today. But it won't be a straight
line getting there and fortunes will
be made and lost.

The combined expertise of Broussard and Collins

America, IFC and Sundance not far behind.

also expanded experiential events and branded
items centered on AMC's " The Walking Dead, "
June 2018
Favorite short-form content?
Podcast during my commute
What would be the name of the
reality show based on your company?
" Did that really just happen? "
What product or service could
you not live without? iPhone, of
course!
What's the first thing you read
in the morning? Email... which
brings industry newsletters.
What does the future look like
for skinny bundles and flexible
packaging? It is the future. Being
forced into buying content we
don't want is so 2017.
Last show I binged not on my
network(s): " Billions "
Favorite podcast: " Master of
Scale: Reid Hoffman "
If you could have a superpower,
what would it be and why?
Remove hate from the human
condition. Imagine.
Your social media platform of
choice? Twitter
Last show I binged not on my
network(s): " Godless. " Godless.
Godless. Godless. Godless. Godless.
Godless. (That's one plug for
every episode. It's one of the best
miniseries of all time IMHO, and
the last episode is nothing short
of legendary.)
What's the first thing you read
in the morning? The tea leaves
If you wrote a " Black Mirror "
episode, what dark side of
technology would you explore
and why? In the not-distant
future, robotics and AI, combined
with incredibly efficient food
production, will enable us to effectively
stop working. What motivates
us to get up in the morning, when
subsistence is a given? Who are
we if the need to strive is eliminated?
How do we connect with
one another when we've spent the
past 30 years communicating into
a device rather than in person?
If I ever get elected President,
my first executive order... Will
be to eliminate clickbait headlines
and outlaw paid content schlock. If
I can save the world from clickbait
like " You won't believe what she
looks like now! " or " This crazy trick
eliminates belly fat " it's worth the
Nobel Prize.
Dawn Callahan
