DENISE GABAY OTTEN is the author of Curing Courtney: Doctors Couldn't Save Her, So Her Mom Did, the empowering true story of a mother and daughter’s triumph over the deadly autoimmune hepatitis that threatened to take the life of 7-year-old Courtney. After five years of treatment by some of the best pediatric hepatologists in New York City, the doctors told Courtney’s mom, “The meds aren’t working.” The next step for 12-year-old Courtney was a leukemia-type drug and a possible liver transplant. Frustrated and angry that the doctors had stolen Courtney’s childhood with their standard protocol that failed and the side-effects of high doses of prednisone which made little Courtney overweight and excessively hairy, Denise Otten took it upon herself to find an alternative treatment. Thanks to scientifically proven nutraceuticals and vitamins, plus a baseball autographed by Yankees star Derek Jeter, Courtney went into remission in a matter of months and is now a slim, beautiful, teenage athlete.

[Thihs show was broadcast live during Hurricane Sandy, with Peter living in Times Square, on the borderline of the power outage.  A true man of his word, he did the show.] Tonight I chat with the amazing PR and social media maven Peter Shankman (@petershankman), who simply has the Midas touch: a little Facebook group he started called "Help A Reporter Out" - better known as HARO -- in barely a year became a huge company that he sold for a substantial sum, and then became named Vice President. When Peter tweets, people pay attention, as Morton Steaks did when Peter jokingly tweeted a wish for Morton's to greet him at the airport with a steak... and they did!  A little bio: Peter Shankman blames ADHD for most of his success. A serial entrepreneur, Peter is best known for founding Help A Reporter Out (HARO), the social media website that redefined how journalism and PR works by connecting millions of sources with hundreds of thousands of journalists around the world each day, for free. HARO was acquire

Have you ever seen someone perform and thought, "This guy is going to be a household name one day!"  That was what I thought when I saw Drew Gasparini's tour de force show, "Crazy Just Like Me" at a community theater in Marin County in California.  A songwriter of many genres, this quadruple-threat marvel wrote an outstanding musical score, co-wrote the book, and acted and sung in the lead role.  I've seen him three times at Joe's Pub in Manhattan, where he's brought on more performers in a night than you've seen in a year, who bring his many songs to life.  He plays piano and guitar like it's nobody's business, and his gorgeous little sisters and his mom are about as talented as he is. Trust me, you will be hearing a lot more from Drew Gasparini. Connect with Drew on Twitter @drewgasparini.  Learn more about Drew's latest project at his kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1792697497/drew-gasparini-music-theatre-album/backers And on his music page:  www.DrewGaspariniMusic
