    SAMUEL HURLEY ON WONDER AND MEANING THROUGH POETRY

    Sam Hurley is a poet who writes about love, loss, wonder, and the human experience. He started writing poetry at a young age and has recently gained a huge and loyal following on Instagram. Sam's poetry collection, 'An Anthem for the Dreaming Lost,' which explores themes of grief, brotherhood, romance, existentialism, and the human imagination is now available on Amazon. He believes that true poetry comes from a place of authenticity and connection to the human experience. Sam's work aims to inspire others to find meaning and wonder in their lives. OWC RADiO is hosted by tech maven and creative Cirina Catania. It is sponsored by Other World Computing (OWC) and we are grateful! * Writing poetry is a way to express deep emotions and connect with others on a meaningful level.* Art, including poetry, can help us rediscover wonder and meaning in our lives.* Technology, like AI, may change the way we create and consume art, but it can never replace the human connection and empathy found in true poetry.* Sam's goal as a poet is to leave a legacy of improving people's lives and helping them see the beauty and wonder in the world.* He encourages everyone to read and write poetry as a way to explore their own emotions and find meaning in their lives.* Sam Hurley's poetry explores themes of wonder, romance, grief, and existentialism.* Sam self-published his poetry collection 'An Anthem for the Dreaming Lost' after gaining attention on Instagram. Quotes from Samuel: * "I think about lots of people at the moment we're looking out and we're looking at this AI revolution, we're looking at something that's gonna come and completely revolutionize our lives and change the way we interact with almost everything and alter almost everything we do."* "True poetry isn't someone like me coming up with absurd metaphors. It is those little moments. It is the post-its on the fridge. It is the tender moments that we often overlook."* "For myself, it would have just been to live authentically and do things that meant something to me. For my kids, that they saw me do that and realized that actually they don't have to give up their dreams."* "I think about lots of people at the moment we're looking out and we're looking at this AI revolution, we're looking at something that's gonna come and completely revolutionize our lives and change the way we interact with almost everything and alter almost everything we do."* "I think that emotions are these big, deep, abstract things. And that's why poetry is beautiful, why art in general is beautiful, because it expands from that."

    Karen Bolt – Danny Glover’s Development Executive on Creating Films with a Purpose

    Karen Bolt, the Development Executive for actor and activist Danny Glover, and an accomplished Independent Producer, is a close friend of our OWC RADiO host, Cirina Catania. Over the years, Karen and Cirina have collaborated on several of Mr. Glover's projects, including insightful interviews with Bob Moses head of the Algebra Project in San Francisco and one of the key instigators of the Civil Rights Movement in the 60's. They also shared memorable experiences in Salt Lake City during the filming of "Just a Dream," directed by Danny Glover. Karen's impressive portfolio includes award-winning short films like "The Secret Weapon: Yesterday is Today" and "The McHenry Trial-Don't Judge a Kid by Their Hoodie," which have collectively garnered over 147 awards. In this episode, she shares invaluable advice for aspiring independent producers, drawing from her extensive experience in the industry. Cirina says, "As a poignant aside, after we hung up, I realized that our conversation reminded me of the fact that it has been 60 years since the Civil Rights Act was passed—a milestone closely tied to the legacy of Bob Moses, a key figure in that movement. We'll dive deeper into that topic in a future episode." Thank you for tuning in to OWC RADiO. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and many thanks to Other World Computing for sponsoring our show.
