Dr. McGlaughlin's Curriculum Vitae
How Does All the Content Get Posted on FlintsNotes?
Dr. McGlaughlin has been making observations from a young age, and his observation system is designed to capture concepts without the constraint of flow or form. Sometimes they come as a direct dictation on a recording device;
sometimes they come as part of an organic conversation in a meeting.
Observations are not conceived as literary masterpieces; they are spontaneous insights captured in just seconds. They are meant only to be collected and stored for future research endeavors.
Dr. McGlaughlin’s personal office, located in the center of the MECLABS Florida campus, functions somewhat like a classroom with young analysts and writers directly behind his desk. Most of the observations on FlintsNotes are captured by these students in the course of a day.
Dr. McGlaughlin has been writing for most of his life. He has written nationally syndicated news pieces, award winning short stories, critically acclaimed screenplays, socially viral articles, and major academic essays. All-in-all he has written more than 200 articles.
His work has been translated in multiple languages and has been quoted in more than 13,000 online and offline sources. A selection of his work from the past 30 years can be found here on FlintsNotes.
Dr. McGlaughlin on average conducts over 100 hours of speaking and training each year. Most of the videos on FlintsNotes are recordings from these speaking events. Some of them are captured internally by the MECLABS production staff; others are taken from live audience members.
Dr. McGlaughlin also steps into the MECLABS studio two hours a week to record on-demand training, live interviews, and various promotional commercials — some of which make it into FlintsNotes.
What is less known is that Dr. McGlaughlin has an extensive library of videos from his research in broadcast television. Prior to forming MECLABS, Dr. McGlaughlin produced broadcast news programs, multiple award-winning documentaries, and even a Fox Television Series.
