Berglan, globally known as "The World's Mayor," is a visionary advocate and educator who has turned his personal adversities into a lifelong mission to uplift and empower marginalized communities through media literacy.
As someone living with HIV and a survivor of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental health issues, Berglan intimately understands the struggles faced by those communities. He is also a proud to be a part of the disabled community, committed to increasing accessibility and inclusion for all.
Berglan offers free one-on-one life and business coaching by utilizing his diversified expertise in media, production, broadcasting, and trauma-informed approaches. His services are designed to help underprivileged populations—such as at-risk kids, those with mental illnesses, those who have served time in jail or prison, victims of human trafficking, and people with disabilities—tell their stories, make money off of their skills, and move up the ladder of economic opportunity.
Berglan is a U.S. Small Business Administration-backed Certified SCORE Mentor, #1 International best-selling author, and award-winning producer who provides extensive complimentary startup help to NGOs and entrepreneurs. His breakthrough "Media Company in a Box" book offers a step-by-step guide for creating ethically sound, creative multimedia (aka OmniMedia or transmedia) organizations.
Berglan makes this important information available to everyone through "The World's Mayor Experience," his ground-breaking digital platform that offers media literacy lessons, solo broadcasts, conversational shows, films, books, and educational content. The platform will soon combine virtual and real-world events with a worldwide humanitarian tour and VR debut. This paradigm-shifting initiative gives disadvantaged voices the ability to profit from, ethically teach, and amplify their experiences as a force for social change.
Donations enable Berglan to continue his critical work helping the HIV, sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental health, and disability communities around the world of which he is a proud member, even though he offers his advocacy efforts free to ensure universal access.voir moins
