Today, Loretta welcomes back Carl David Blake who is a Guinness World Record–winning film director, international best-selling author, producer, and professor of English and Communications. He has written, produced, and directed seven independent films—including Differences Between Men and Women, which broke the record for the longest wedding dress train. His newest book, Power of the Written Word: From Amateur to Entrepreneur, is not just a writing manual—it’s a strategic toolkit. Carl makes the case that writing is the hidden superpower of the 21st century—an entrepreneurial skill that can transform business, creativity, and even the soul. Today we’ll explore why writing matters more than ever, and how it can change both our outer success and inner lives.” Born in the Bronx and educated in Florida, Carl earned a B.S. in Biology and Zoology and an M.A. in Mass Communication from the University of South Florida. He has authored English textbooks with HarperCollins, inspired thousands of students in his classrooms, and brought provocative, thoughtful stories to the screen. Carl’s creative work spans from Bollywood-inspired novels like Dance with Me: The Karmic Love Affair that Dangerously Changed a Young Mumbai Woman, to Ingenee: The Most Powerful Woman Who Ever Lived, which distilled years of his teaching and consulting.
