“Spreading knowledge is the most altruistic thing we can do as human beings” is the premise behind Collective Knowledge, a new video series from IGNI Productions which makes its debut this Thursday, May 16. Show creators Gail O’Neill and Felipe Barral have forged a series of half-hour conversations with Atlanta area thought leaders who impact its arts, culture and society, offering insights onto the mindsets, habits and daily practices that have contributed to their success.
While it’s easy to identify the people we respect, admire and want to emulate, trying to duplicate their habits, disciplines and daily practices that have led to their success can be far more challenging, because they often tend to be instinctive and remain unspoken. The creators of Collective Knowledge hope to reveal and elucidate those of their baker’s dozen interviewees and to remind viewers of their own potentials.
Season 1 of Collective Knowledge is comprised of 13 episodes, to be initially distributed on the THEA Network, YouTube, and The G Channel, with supplementary tips, behind-the-scenes sequences and video excerpts posted on social media, including the series’ Facebook page.
