STOCKTON, Calif. — October 30, 2026 — (KOREWIRE) — Global Market Intelligence & Media (GMIQ), an international relations investor relations firm and The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, have signed a memorandum of understanding outlining a collaboration to develop independent digital programming, support, educate and inspire entrepreneurs and investors working toward a better, more inclusive future.
Led by GMIQ CEO Patrick A. Howell and The Super Crowd President and CEO Devin D. Thorpe, the collaboration reflects a shared belief that compelling stories and meaningful relationships can help more people participate in building a prosperous, inclusive economy. How can we build wealth from the bottom up? How can we help create a million millionaires in 2027?
The companies intend to combine GMIQ’s programming, cultural relationships and experience convening business leaders, artists and public servants with The Super Crowd’s television production capabilities and SuperCrowd.tv platform. Their shared focus includes social entrepreneurship, free enterprise, impact investing and capital formation.
“Our greatest resource is people - their creativity, their relationships and their capacity to imagine something better,” said Howell. “Working with Devin and The Super Crowd gives us an opportunity to bring those stories to new audiences and connect conversations about culture with the work of building businesses and strengthening communities.”
Initial plans include bringing existing episodes of Global I Am Conversations and Getting Deals Done to SuperCrowd.tv and producing a new Getting Deals Done pilot. These shows have included Fortune 500 CEOs, Academy Award Winners, Grammy Award winners and icons of culture, thought leaders and captains of industry. The companies also intend to develop programming for television and podcast audiences while exploring opportunities for broader distribution.
Howell and Thorpe plan to include Max Rodriguez, founder of the Harlem Book Fair, and Bill Huston, founder of Crowd-Max, as participating hosts and producers. Rodriguez brings experience celebrating Black literature and connecting authors with readers. Huston brings expertise in crowdfunding education, digital marketing and helping entrepreneurs build engaged communities around their businesses.
Together, their perspectives would connect discussions of creativity, identity and cultural leadership with practical insights into entrepreneurship and community capital. The aim is to reach over a billion viewers globally who may approach these subjects from different starting points but share an interest in creating opportunity.
“Impact crowdfunding starts with the idea that everyday people can help finance the future they want to see,” said Thorpe. “Patrick, Max and Bill bring experience and relationships that can broaden that conversation. We want to help more people discover entrepreneurs, understand their potential and see how business can serve communities.”
The collaboration’s broader ambition is to expand independent media where cultural insight and economic opportunity inform one another. Programming would give audiences access to thoughtful conversations with people whose work connects enterprise, creativity and social progress.
