Documentary producer Anthony Delmedico hosts ‘Voice of the Free Enterprise’ podcast on President’s Day

EAGLE PASS, Texas, Feb. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — MVG Studios (MVG) is filming the 4th episode of Unconstitutional: An American Story, a new educational docuseries covering a variety of issues affecting Americans. Filming will take place Feb. 19-20 in Eagle Pass, Texas. Episode 4 will cover the migration crossing at the U.S. border and the constitutional crisis occurring between the state and federal government. MVG crews will interview residents that live near the border towns, local politicians, businesses, and gather footage and evidence of illegal border crossings. On Feb. 19, MVG will host and livestream “The Voice of Free Enterprise” podcast between 12 p.m. – 2 p.m. at the Wagon Wheel restaurant at 1824 Del Rio Boulevard, Eagle Pass, Texas. The podcast aims to bring American citizens together and gather varying viewpoints, without a party line focus, to help educate citizens so they can make informed decisions. Food and refreshments will be provided. The public, politicians and media are invited to attend. To learn more, request an interview or get involved, please contact Frankie Cicala at 732-281-9280 or frankie@myventuresgroup.com.

“The call from the public is clear: it’s time for Texas and other border states and the federal government to set aside partisan differences and collaborate effectively to address the complexities of border security and immigration reform,” says Delmedico.

“We look forward to filming these important issues affecting Americans today. Our goal is to remind Americans of their constitutional rights, what it means to be American, and this thing we call the American Dream, without the party hat. The divisiveness in our country stems from living under a two-party oligarchy,” says Delmedico.

According to the office of the Texas governor, Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas National Guard continue to work together to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and interdict transnational criminal activity between ports of entry. Since the launch of Operation Lone Star, the multi-agency effort has led to over 496,700 illegal immigrant apprehensions and more than 38,700 criminal arrests, with more than 35,100 felony charges. In the fight against the fentanyl crisis, Texas law enforcement has seized over 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this border mission.

“In light of the ongoing challenges at our borders, Americans are increasingly frustrated. The call from the public is clear and unequivocal: it’s time for Texas and other border states and the federal government to set aside partisan differences and collaborate effectively to address the complexities of border security, immigration reform, and humanitarian assistance. This partnership is not just necessary; it’s imperative for the wellbeing of our communities, the integrity of our nation’s borders, and the values we hold dear as a country. It’s time to get our system straight and hear from ‘we the people’,” says Delmedico.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, federal agents encountered nearly 2.5 million migrants at the southern border in fiscal year 2023, which ended in September, breaking the record set in 2022. Those encounters included migrants who went to ports of entry to request asylum.

The Unconstitutional docuseries is scheduled to air on July 4, 2024 and includes episodes covering immigration, terrorism, the pandemic lockdown, political unrest, and the George Floyd murder and resulting national upheaval.

Delmedico is the CEO and founder of MVG Studios, the film production company behind the docuseries: Unconstitutional: An American Story. Delmedico is dedicated to free enterprise and providing a platform where open discussions, free thinking, and thought leadership thrive. MVG Studios aims to be a symbol of freedom and empowerment for entrepreneurs across America.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
