Unmasking the Flood: A Crusade for Justice (Feat. Sandy Rosenthal)

  1. Unmasking the Flood: A Crusade for Justice (Feat. Sandy Rosenthal) National Society of Leadership and Success 30:47

Sandy Rosenthal often gets compared to Erin Brockovich, and for a good reason. Both women, armed with no special skills or training, stood up against powerful forces and won. Their stories inspire countless others to stand up and make a difference.

Sandy was fortunate not to lose her home or loved ones, which allowed her to closely follow the news and ask questions. She quickly learned that the levees, designed and built by the federal government, had failed due to cost-cutting measures by the Army Corps of Engineers. The more she probed, the more resistance she faced, which only confirmed she was on the right path. Her book delves into the details of this discovery.

Sandy acknowledges that her activism put her in danger. She made a conscious decision to continue publicly stating the federal government’s responsibility, despite the risks. She recounts being followed at every event she organized, with the Army Corps planting people to record and report back. Sandy’s determination never wavered, even under surveillance.

This week, you’ll learn how the government saving money led to the Katrina disaster, why Sandy second guessed her decision to take on the government and why Sandy compares many big energy companies to school yard bullies,

Corey Andrew Powell Cultural Commentator / Content Producer

Hey there! My name is Corey Andrew Powell. I'm a creative chameleon with a knack for donning multiple hats. From crafting compelling copy and producing engaging content to rocking the mic as a podcast host and weaving musical magic, I've got a diverse skill set that keeps things interesting.

My journey kicked off in 2011 at The Vitamin Shoppe, where I started as a copywriter and quickly found myself caught up in the whirlwind of rebranding campaigns, product development, and retail store expansions. Two years of hard work later, I proudly stepped into the role of Manager of Marketing Copy, steering the ship through the exciting waters of marketing creativity.

After three years of freelancing, in 2019 I joined the incredible team at the National Society of Leadership & Success ( NSLS), stepping into the role of Content Manager and Content Producer for the nation's largest leadership honor society, with over 1.3 million inspiring members.

In 2021 I became the proud host of the NSLS's beloved podcast, 'Motivational Mondays'! How cool is that? In my debut episode, I had the absolute honor of chatting with Tokyo Olympics silver-medalist Raven 'The Hulk' Saunders. We dove deep into the world of professional sports and had a heart-to-heart about the importance of mental health. Our audience has grown exponentially to over 250,000 listeners and subscribers.

My creative life has been an incredible journey thus far, and I’m always intrigued by what the future holds.
