Documentary Film - Somewhere Else Together
I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel Rintz and Josephine Flohr as an Executive Producer for this wonderful accounting of their epic adventure – together.
Chased by wild elephants. Caught in the crossfire of a police-smuggler gunfight. Stranded by engine trouble in a civil war zone. How much is this adventurous couple willing to go through for their quest of finding the perfect way of life? Traveling around the globe for three years they meet people from all walks of life, their attitude towards the world is challenged and their ultimate destination unexpected.
Working with them on this project was a labor of love for me as well.
Daniel and Josephine have also been guests on my show, twice - Documenting the Adventure of a Lifetime and How would you travel the world—for years—with no money…? Their adventures along with their relationship with each other and their BMW bikes are nothing less than amazing!

The New Humanitarians Documentary
Inspiration, Innovation, and Blueprints for Visionaries
I have had the honor to be involved in several important projects and initiatives over the years, but I honestly have to say that there are few what I am prouder of than this unique and groundbreaking documentary series – The New Humanitarians.
I am the author of the 3-volume book-set – The New Humanitarians (https://amzn.to/4b9476o) and I’m very excited to announce that the 41 amazing humanitarian organizations profiled in these books are now the basis for a new docuseries on YouTube and an audio version exclusively on SoundCloud.
The Center for Global Initiatives is honored to make this freely available to audiences world-wide.
So, buckle-up and welcome to a trip around the globe. You will travel to six continents. These are the stories of The New Humanitarians - changing global health inequities, changing education and relief, and changing sustainable development and social justice.
These are their stories – stories of need, of response, and of accomplishment. They an inspirational account demonstrating the power of the individual triumphant over the challenges of poverty, illness, conflict, or a litany of injustices. My friend, Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute, said of the project that it is a counter to the pervasive “pornography of the trivial” that infects much of what exists in the media today.
I suspect he is correct.
I have been fortunate to have the rare and heady opportunity to work with some of the most innovative humanitarian organizations in the world, to collaborate with their incredibly talented leaders, and to call all of them my friends.
It is my hope that this new series will provide a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse of some incredible organizations, offer valuable insights, present their insider experiences, and share advice that few would ever have access to.
Praise for the Project

USA TODAY Profile
Stronger Brand Credibility
When people see your company featured on a recognized platform like USA TODAY, it gives your business more legitimacy and trust in the eyes of potential clients, partners, and investors.
Better Online Presence
Media coverage helps create a stronger digital footprint for your brand as a thought leader, or for your company or practice. When people search your name or business online, they see credible media coverage connected to you.
Increased Client Trust
Many clients feel more comfortable working with businesses that have media recognition because it creates a more professional image.
Third-Party Validation
Instead of only promoting yourself through your own website or social media, you now have a respected media platform talking about your business as well.
Marketing & Branding Advantage
You can use your published feature on
Competitive Advantage
Having such visibility and media positioning via a feature article helps separate your brand from competitors in your industry.
Process Overview
The process is very simple and fully managed by our team from start to finish, so you do not have to worry about handling media outreach or writing yourself. First, we schedule a short onboarding discussion where we learn more about you, your company, your achievements, goals, and the angle you want the feature to focus on. This helps us understand how to position the story in the strongest and most professional way possible. After that, our editorial writing team prepares a professional press release draft based on the information you provide. We do not publish anything immediately. Once the draft is completed, we send it to you first for review.
You can carefully go through everything and request any edits, changes, additions, or corrections you would like. We want to make sure the content fully represents your brand the right way and matches your vision before moving forward. Once you approve the final version, our team then coordinates the submission process and aligns everything with the requirements for USA TODAY publication placement.
If the editors suggest any small adjustments or recommendations, we communicate those updates with you first before anything proceeds further. Nothing is ever published without your knowledge and approval. Our goal is to make sure the final article looks professional, represents your brand properly, and is something you are fully comfortable and satisfied with before it goes live. The publication process takes 3 to 5 working days after the draft is approved from your end.
Pricing
The first option is a single placement, with an associate fee of $875, which covers one complete USA TODAY press release feature including writing, editorial handling, coordination, and publication.
Or, you can opt for a complete distribution package, that has distribution across 250+ media sites, in addition to the USA TODAY placement. This option means your story doesn’t just appear in one place - it gets wider online visibility across multiple news and media platforms. This helps increase your digital footprint, strengthens you Google presence and “findability,” and builds much stronger brand authority because your name and company start appearing across several trusted media sites. The fee for this is $1200.
Both options include full service - writing, editing, submission, coordination, and approval. And nothing goes live without your final approval. Click here to be in touch.
