MPI Announces New Economic Literacy Show Featuring Dr. Florita Bell Griffin and Leon Gatewood
Marketing Pulpit International is please to announce the addition of its latest show , The Little Flower Literacy and Economics Radio Show. The show features Dr. Florita Bell Griffin of Houston Texas and Leon Gatewood, founder of the non-profit HOLLA! located in Morven, NC.

The first airing of the 30-minute show is scheduled for July 9, 2015 from 10:30-11:00 AM CDT (11:30 EST). To listen to the show, click here!
Has Google “Un-Friended” You?
Join Gatewood, Alena7 and Maxwell on July 10th as they discuss whether your website has fallen out of favor with Google.
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, or said out loud, “I want my website to come up on Google,” then you are not alone. If you’ve ever wondered why it doesn’t come up on Google, it could be because you are not keeping with what it takes to stay on Google.
This past spring Google announced that it would favor sending traffic to websites that are mobile-friendly. If your website is not easily readable on smartphones and tablets, Google just might kick you to the curb (if it hasn’t already.)
While that’s not the only criteria that keeps you in Google’s favor, it’s pretty big one. It’s also a big one for your company since 30% of your website’s total traffic may be coming from Google.
Gatewood Speaks on Charleston, Hate-filled Messaging and the Confederate Flag
During 
a Special Edition show on June 19th, Gatewood discussed the horrific massacre of innocent church-goers by a racist murderer in Charleston, SC.
Among the victims was Gatewood’s classmate, Myra Thompson (Livingstone College), as well as fraternity brother, Daniel Simmons (Phi Beta Sigma).
Several callers chimed in to speak their minds including special guest, Minister Curtis Gatewood.
