Ken McArthur Says, “Speak Up Save Lives!”

Hey Folks,

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and according to the World Health Organization there are two deaths by suicide every 60 seconds.

Suicide is an epidemic that is especially prevalent among our young people so today we took our message of hope and action and presented it to millions of people live on Comcast’s CN8 “Your Morning” Show as I was interviewed by veteran newsman, Greg Coy.

Ever since the publication of my book, Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions and Make a Difference in a Noisy World, I’ve been doing radio shows to tell people that what they do — or DON’T do — makes an impact every day whether we want it to or not, but until today, I’d never done a television show.

Well, that is unless you count my appearance in the audience on the Howdy Doody Show as a very young child.

So what is it like to do your first television interview?

Well first of all, let me tell you that if I can do it then anyone can!

But …

It really helps to get some excellent help!

So step one if you want to get out and spread the “Speak Up Save Lives” message on television is to contact Sanyika Calloway Boyce who is the Impact Faculty Member in charge of using radio and television to spread your message.

If you are interested in appearing on television for the “Speak Up Save Lives” project or any other reason for that matter, be sure to click here to pick up Sanyika’s free “5 Myths of Getting Television Publicity Exposed!” teleseminar. You will discover how to levearge TV appearances into repeat media booking as you gain the credibility that you need right now to get your message out in a noisy world.

I can tell you that Sanyika’s prep work is OUTSTANDING and that it will make your live SO much easier as you cut through the hype and deliver real results.  Her media coaching is wonderful and helps to put you at ease even when you realize that MILLIONS of people may be watching you!

Even better, Sanyika is a tireless worker who KNOWS PEOPLE!

Sanyika personally worked the phones to get me on the air and not only that … she also managed to convince publicist Mark Goldman to work the phones and craft press releases for the Impact Action Team too!

The results … a major booking in front of millions of potential viewers.

Then she went to work to make me feel at ease and to be prepared and professional when I got there.

No half hearted commitment on Sanyika’s part!  She CONSTANTLY went the extra mile to work out details with the producer, suggest possible responses to the segment outline and tell me exactly what to bring and what to do when I got to the studio.

Here’s what I looked like 20 minutes before air time.

Note that I’m studying Sanyika’s carefully crafted materials like crazy!

Even better, she hooked me up at the Impact Boot Camp with Producer and Videographer, Derek Brian Stevenson and then convince HIM to go the extra mile.

Derek is an amazing young man with a wonderful heart, who took time out from his own production company to meet me at the set of CN8 and put me at ease. One of the nicest parts was that Derek has worked at CN8 and knew absolutely everyone on the set.

Not only that, but he was drafted by Sanyika — and willingly served — as official photographer and videoagrapher for a sneak peek at what went on BEHIND the scenes so that you could get a feel for what it was like.

Now, please note that while Derek shot the video with my Flip camera, he did NOT edit this video.  I KNOW that Derek would have done a MUCH better job, but I wanted to get it out to you quickly and with a full day of up at 4:45 AM at the studio by 6:30 AM, a high-level interview and then a session with a chain saw and a HUGE maple tree in my back yard, it was a busy day.  Forgive the quality, enjoy the peek behind the scenes and ABSOLUTELY don’t hold Derek responsible for the quality! He was OUTSTANDING!

Here’s the “Behind The Scenes” Video I Promised!

The interview was over like a shot.  Unfortunately, although it was in the outline the host skipped over the question that would have allowed me to plug this web site, but at least the message got out to a great many people.

So from this point on, I can say, I do both radio AND TELEVISION interviews and it will never be the FIRST time again.

With practice I’m sure that I can learn the skills to do this again and again.

Television is something that we ALL know touches millions of people and yet most of us don’t see ourselves in the interview seat.

I’d like to encourage you.

If I can do this, you can too!

After all, how much can you really say in 3 minutes and 30 seconds!

It turns out, that you can say quite a lot, if you get a little help from the experts and ACTUALLY DO what they ask you to do.

Many thanks to Sanyika Calloway Boyce, Mark Goldman and Derek Brian Stevenson and the entire Impact Action Team for making this impact possible.

YOU ARE OUTSTANDING!

Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek as much as I did.

More coming very soon!

All the best,
