Multimedia Personality Pete Scalia Launches PSNeverGiveUp Movement

CINCINNATI - Oct. 7, 2020 - PRLog -- After working as a morning news anchor and local TV personality for more than 15 years, Pete Scalia is putting his heart and soul into launching PSNeverGiveUp — a multimedia movement to entertain, inform, and inspire others by sharing uplifting "Never Give Up" moments. 



Pete was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis at age 30. After four major joint replacements, he and his wife subsequently endured years of fertility issues. The media professional, now a father of three, has always considered it a responsibility to educate and inspire others to never give up. "Everyone has had at least one 'Never Give Up' moment in their life," Pete says. "It could be mental, physical, emotional or spiritual. A moment that, when it seems all hope is lost, something just clicks."

Central to this movement is the PSNeverGiveUp Podcast. "I'll be interviewing guests -- some internationally-known, some everyday people -- but always inspiring and entertaining," Scalia explains. It will also feature corresponding videos, music, an engaging social media community, and a curated shop. In the future, Scalia plans to launch a PSNeverGiveUp Foundation to help others with chronic illnesses with their family planning options.

Those interested in learning more and being a part of the movement can subscribe for free at http://www.PSNeverGiveUp.com.
