Welcome to Earth: Will Smith is all of us on our ever-connected planet

Welcome to Earth Will Smith and National Geographic

Learning can be a product of doing, but it can also be generated by listening. This is the takeaway that I have from watching Will Smith in Welcome to Earth. This series produced by National Geographic and available under the Disney Plus umbrella is not your typical nature documentary.

A good story can teach us a lot if the story is done well, and Welcome to Earth is great authentic storytelling.

‘Man in the Arena’ builds new autobiographical medium as it celebrates Tom Brady

Man in the Arena - Tom Brady ESPN Plus

Love him or hate him, Tom Brady has been a winner throughout his career. With Man in the Arena, he may also prove himself as a pioneer.

I absolutely love reading biographies, and I know that as autobiographies you need to take the information with a grain of salt.

Man in the Arena is Tom Brady’s video autobiography. With 9 of the ten episodes released, I can tell you that it’s possible that we’ll see more series like this in the future.
