As Host of the “Double EP” I have the unique opportunity of interviewing and promoting new and emerging Talent on a weekly basis. The Double EP is quickly emerging as THE on line promotional vehicle for Artists from every corner of the entertainment industry. It is an amazing opportunity for me to meet and connect with interesting and avant-garde individuals who are fearlessly forging ahead with their creative inspiration and devoting their time and energy to creating their visions. It is inspiring to witness their passion for what they believe to be the entertainment formats of the future. Their belief in what they do and how they chose to focus their energies is admirable. As a Motivator and Self Development facilitator I have to admire this fearless pursuit of their dreams. The drive and motivation that propels them on a daily basis clearly defines who they are and what they believe in. The stamina to persevere despite ridicule and controversy is the basis for success in any business. They have determination. They believe in themselves. They are true to themselves. They guide their own destinies. They are brave...If we could all incorporate these qualities in our lives…where would we be?Denis de LavioletteCatch the Double EP on YouTube: http://youtu.be/xyoAD9rOiC8

As a volunteer with the Communications Committee, I am helping to develop Communication strategies to help increase awareness of the work done by the Ottawa branch. Our focus is to increase the CCS presence in both traditional and social media. We have developed a pilot media project called "Ask an Expert" - a series of videos featuring Cancer experts answering questions gathered from our Twitter network. I was the on air Host for our initial video which is currently posted on Youtube. This initiative encourages CCS Facebook and Twitter followers to ask questions about cancer care, research and prevention and get answers to their specific questions and concerns. With Youtube we are able to reach a global audience and vastly increase the CCS's exposure on line. So far this initiative has been a resounding success.
