  • Gentle Barn with Chris Brogan and Kerry Gorgone on the Backpack Show
    May 4 2022

    Going into year 3 of a global pandemic, who couldn't use a hug? At The Gentle Barn, you can hug cows, cuddle turkeys, and give pigs tummy rubs!

    Animal therapy can help with both physical and mental issues, reducing blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health. And the release of endorphins can help to alleviate pain, reduce stress and improve your psychological state.

    On this episode of The Backpack Show with Chris Brogan and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone, we'll talk with Ellie Laks from The Gentle Barn, a national non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary that offers cow hugging therapy.

    We'll talk about why Ellie founded The Gentle Barn, and how they rescue animals and help people in a way that's very different than traditional therapy. https://www.gentlebarn.org/

    And we'll get into how, since its inception in 1999, The Gentle Barn has saved thousands of animals and helped more than 500,000 people.

    We've all seen how people of color, women, the disabled, the LGBTQ+ community and people starting out over age 40 are underrepresented in the film industry. On this episode of The Backpack Show with Chris Brogan and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone, we'll talk with Derrick Williams, Steve Deering, and Anna Levine about the Open Door Film Project.

    We'll talk about how the project is giving a “seat at the table” to 8 emerging directors from diverse backgrounds, producing 8 short films to create a feature film anthology. We can all learn a lot from the way this group is working with Hollywood power brokers and advocacy organizations throughout the film industry to bring about lasting change.
