THE SOLIDLINE CREW HANGS WITH RUDY GIULIANI

The SolidLine crew was at the University of California Irvine last week to produce their latest live broadcast for the National Society of Leadership and Success, featuring renowned NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the guest speaker. The live web broadcast, which had an audience of over 50,000 students from 350 colleges across the country, offered an inspirational message from Mayor Giuliani about leadership in the time of crisis. He also talked to the live studio audience and the viewers online about how to be an effective leader in their lives.

The National Society of Leadership and Success offers life-changing lectures from the nation's leading presenters and a community where like-minded success oriented individuals come together to help one another succeed.

TV SHOW "THE DOCTORS" FEATURES SOLIDLINE PRODUCTION

Emmy Award winning TV show "The Doctors" featured SolidLine Media's footage in their recent episode "Could Your Hospital Be Killing You?" In this episode, the show's expert panel of physicians discussed the alarming rates of hospital fatalities due to medical mistakes. It was a complicated episode about professionalism, trust, and asking the right questions. SolidLine Media's footage from their work with Transparent Health was used as an example of the extreme damage caused by inept doctor-to-patient/guardian communication.
