The Affluentialist

Lewis Schiff Appears on Current Affairs Network

In September of 2008, I appeared on FORA.tv, which bills itself as "The Brilliant Idea Network For Discourse and Debate." And it truly is. With appearances from such luminaries as British Premier, Gordon Brown to Nobel Prize winners Desmond Tutu, this Web TV network is really a bright star in internet media.

My presentation at the esteemed "Commonwealth Club" was chosen to appear on the network recently and I'm pretty excited. Thank you FORA.TV and the Commonwealth Club.

An Audio introduction ...

The good folks over at Random House asked me to come in the other day to record an "audio introduction" to the book so people can get a 3-minute overview of what we're trying to tackle here.

Take a listen! As my mother says, "You've got a face that was made for radio. " 

PS: That voice introducing me is Roger Scholl, the editor of the book for Doubleday.
