Ryan Seacrest has been earmarked as “America’s busiest man in Hollywood,” a distinction that sits more appropriately with Mr. Seacrest than arguably anybody else across not just Hollywood, but the entire entertainment industry.

This blog post will help you get more closely familiarized with who Ryan Seacrest is, what his career’s most substantial achievements consist of, and much more.

How did Ryan Seacrest first get interested in entertainment?

Though Mr. Seacrest is one of the most handsome people in entertainment, his younger years were spent as an ugly duckling. Rather than spend time outside after school, his parents say that the childhood Ryan preferred to stay inside and listen to radio broadcasts.

His love for creating obviously lower-quality works in the same format as his favorite radio shows became evident after purchasing equipment to record himself. In his teenage years, Mr. Ryan Seacrest even found a permanent position with a local radio station after successfully completing an internship and impressing its management.

The first time Seacrest was able to put his voice to work came at Dunwoody High School during his time there as a student: he held the formal title of The Voice of Dunwoody and was responsible for making schoolwide announcements in the morning.

After Ryan graduated from Dunwoody High School, he was accepted by the University of Georgia to study journalism. Just a few months into his tenure with the Bulldogs, he quit and moved to southern California to pursue more promising opportunities in radio, television, and elsewhere in showbiz.

American Idol really helped Seacrest get famous

Mr. Seacrest, also a producer, first hosted a television show in 1993 for ESPN, with on-air, broadcasted hosting duties following for eight different shows before finding his way onto American Idol. Though Ryan split hosting duties with a co-host in its 2002 debut, Seacrest has since been responsible for hosting the following 15 seasons without help.

He stayed with the program even after it departed Fox in 2017 when ABC outbid other major news networks for the right to broadcast American Idol. (Source: Instagram)

Throughout humanity, philosophers, scientists, and other intelligent leaders have affirmed and taught the value of giving back and helping others unselfishly. This idea has been revered for centuries.   Around the 1850s,Albert Einstein is quoted saying, “Only a life lived for others is worth living.” The absolute statement makes for a chilling quote with its emphasis on what is a worthy life, but to dedicated, hard-working humanitarians like Jeff Schneider, it couldn’t be truer. Brave social justice warriors like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr agree, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?” Jeff tries to ask himself this every  day and seeks to give back to society in any way possible.

As an Austin philanthropist, father of three, and business executive, Jeffry Schneider can motivate and encourage any individual looking to improve themselves or society. He’s an all-around tenacious human who takes altruism, volunteer work, and overall wellness seriously while leading a company in Austin, TX. Because of his never-ending list of responsibilities, he has a strict and busy schedule. But he doesn’t let this de-motivate him from accomplishing whatever he decides to focus on. Despite his hectic schedule characterized by serial events, meetings, appointments, and traveling, he still finds time for to give back, work on physical fitness, and maintain his personal wellness.

When Jeff Schneider’s not leading his team at the office, he does humanitarian work for nonprofit organizations such as LifeWorks, the Cherokee Home for Children, Austin Pets Alive!, Wonders and Worries, and the Gazelle Foundation. Jeffry is devoted to using his innate leadership abilities to involve himself in a variety of nonprofits. As a philanthropist, Jeffry observes that to write a check to a charitable organization is not enough; it is just as important to participate in its core activities. Because of this, throughout the last decade, Jeffry Schneider has spent time focusing on giving back to others in need while utilizing his leadership skills to make an impact.

To increase his philanthropic impact, he is sponsoring a volunteer who uses her medical training as a pediatric oncology nurse to help underprivileged populations in Latin American areas. Her name is Elizabeth Stephens and she primarily focuses on repairing children’s cleft palates. In the past, after the Haitian earthquake in 2010, she also volunteered as a healthcare professional to provide relief in affected areas. By financially sponsoring her travels, Jeffry continues to aid her in her volunteer work abroad. Devoted to bettering the world through leadership, Jeff prioritizes supporting other’s nonprofit work anyway that he is able.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so they say. Inventions have always been made based on need. Necessity has always inspired famous individuals like Alexander Fleming, Isaac Newton, and even Michael Faraday to create new things to make human life easier. Just like Alexander Fleming, George Soros has found it meaningful to create a system that helps advocate for civil and human rights, particularly for communities across the globe. George Soros’ inspiration comes from atrocities witnessed while he was growing up. Since George was born in Budapest, he got exposed to rather unpleasant circumstances, seeing fellow Jews suffering in the hands of the Nazis.

George later moved to London in search of greener pastures. While in London, Soros was fortunate enough to save some money for college, enrolling at the London School of Economics. At the age of 86, George Soros has had a productive life, though most of the time it has been full of drama. Today, Soros ranks among the top thirty wealthiest people in the world. George’s success as an entrepreneur has mainly come from his unique trading skills and techniques. Soros’ wealth and influence have propelled his career to a level where he can dine with great leaders across the globe. George has firmly held an individual like Hillary Clinton under his wing for as long as two decades, offering her financial support through her political career. Apart from that, George Soros has been using his Open Society Foundations to assist civil and human right groups globally to meet their agenda with regards to policy and reforms. Thanks to George’s Open Society Foundations, he has given people from disease stricken and insecurity ridden countries with a renewed sense of hope. Follow George Soros on twitter.com.

Soros was away from the American political limelight since 2004 but made a major comeback in 2016. George’s main point of concern was to see to it that Hillary Clinton gets to White House as the 45th President of the United States of America. Committing more than $25 million to Hillary’s campaign, George proved to be not only a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party presidential candidate but also a close friend. During the campaign season, Mr. Soros was able to convince other longtime friends like Tom Steyer, Don Sussman, Haim Saban, and Fred Eychaner to rally behind Hillary Clinton.

Through time, George Soros has been able to bring down regimes using his greatest invention, The Open Society Foundations. When modern day Nazis and Communists hear the name Soros, ‘that is if any exist,’ they shudder in fear for George Soros has no one to spare when it comes to safeguarding the interests of minority groups. With George’s unrivaled streak in matters politics and reforms, he has become a darling to many. Know more on CNBC about George Soros.

There are many people in today’s world that could make a difference in how the world is run. However, they are too poor to be taken notice of, and their education is too lacking to make a difference. For others, they’re too sick to find work to earn enough money to fund their educational goals. If these people could only rise above their burden of poverty the world might be a better place to live in for all people. George Soros has the money and the aspiration to fix this problem through his charities.

George attended school to learn about philosophy and economics. These are two subjects that have driven him to attain great wealth and influence on the world. He uses his assets to fund the Democratic Party in hopes that the right leaders can be elected to make the differences that he knows to be possible within society. In the meantime, until such leaders can come to be, George will use his charity, the Open Society Foundation, to make all the changes possible. George follows the philosophy of the illustrious Karl Popper. His belief was that when everyone has money and every citizen has an education, and then there can exist a better world. Karl called this concept a free and open society.

George uses that philosophy as the driving force to fund the poor. Through his charity, George has made sure that if an impoverished citizen wants to bring themselves up out of poverty, but is only lacking an education with which to find a proper job, then George will fund their educational pursuit. If the citizen wants to find a job, but is too sick to work, then George will fund their costs for medical aid to become healthy enough for employment. If a person is unfairly incarcerated, George will hire lawyers to help set them free. It is only through the unification of the citizens working together for a better world, that such a world can be brought about. Visit Project Syndicate to learn more about George.

George Soros suffered some of the worst experiences as a child, arising from the Nazis coming to his Hungarian homeland and murdering several Jewish people, a community that George is a member of. If it weren’t for George’s father, he would have been identified as a Jew and killed along with the other people that the Nazis discovered. However, George’s father had money from his time spent as an attorney. He used this money to buy false identity papers to fool the Nazis into believing George and his family was Christian. This is proof alone that money can keep people alive, even when faced against impossible odds.

If we stop at the finish line and look back at the path we walked we can clearly see the obstacles that helped shape who we became. Nothing could be further from the truth of this when studying the life of entrepreneur, lobbyist, businesswoman, mother and wife Andrea McWilliams.

The Austin, Texas native raised not far from the capitol building itself has had a very influential life in both politics and philanthropy. Her and her husband Dean worked together to create a government affair consulting firm where they now run that operation as a team, it is called McWilliams. This company works with many political affiliates to help manage some of the local, state, and federal politics associated with their clients.

She started out at the age of 21 as a Chief of Staff, but that would be nothing compared to her ventures later on in life. As a mother of three boys, Andrea found out she had breast cancer just a week before she found out she was pregnant with her third child. She went on to beat cancer, have a baby, and has been in remission ever since.

Andrea has been responsible for being a part of and has founded and co-founded several charities. Some of those charities include the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, KillCancer, the Mamma Jamma Ride, and Austin’s Dancing with the Stars event. There are several other foundations for which she volunteers for, and helps bring her notoriety too.

Part of the political efforts that she has been affiliated with during her career has been as a lobbyist. Part of what the team at McWilliams does is participate in a Republican/Democratic duo of lobbyists between Andrea and her husband Dean. Having backgrounds with both political parties helps their clients with various political affairs.
