The Nanny Nine: Dennis Powell, Senior Producer ABC News and AARP Inside E Street

Dennis Powell

Dennis Powell didn’t plan on being a television producer. He likens it to “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”. After studying theatre in school, he became a clerk in the ABC business office, moved on to Video Tape Editor at ABC News, and then advanced to Producer. Over thirty years years later he is still in the journalism field. During that time frame, Dennis was a Senior Producer for ABC’s World News, covering events surrounding the President, legislation on Capitol Hill, Department of Transportation & Department of Homeland Security. Most recently he worked on ABC News ‘This Week with George Stephanopoulos’. Dennis is currently the Senior Editorial Producer for Inside E Street, a public affairs show produced by AARP, airing on most PBS stations.

It’s obvious when talking to Melissa Saigh that she absolutely loves being a Mom! Her love for Linna also pours into her Minnesota Baby blog, and her social media sites. Writing has been a passion for Melissa since High School, at the college newspaper, and with her first blog, Missi Made. On Missi Made she talked about fashion and then everything-wedding when she was planning her own. She knew she had hit on something great when an Oprah producer contacted her for a referral on a stylist, after seeing her wedding day hair pics on Missi Made!

The Nanny Nine: Home To Homestead with Elizabeth Ries

Elizabeth Ries, host of Twin Cities Live, has piqued the interest of many fans, friends and family members with her passion for Urban Farming.

The topics vary, including gardening, recipes and her three chickens…Roz, Suzie Q and MaryAnne. Note that their names were carefully chosen: Roz for her boyfriend Jay’s Mom; Suzie Q for her own Mom; and MaryAnne for her two sisters, their middle names.

The Nanny Nine: General Mills

I recently attended a local Social Media event, and sat in on Kevin Hunt’s presentation. I’ve been a long time user of General Mills brands, and was very curious about their Social Media Manager, and how the brand was utilizing the various Social Media venues. By the end of his presentation I was very happy with what I had seen and heard, and I also could tell Kevin is very passionate about what he does.
