EARTH

JACK LAWLESS
I have been a professional social media manager for eight years. I first created the largest Beatles Twitter account in 2014. My account now has over 175,000 followers from across the world.
In early 2022, I launched a top-charting podcast, "Here, There and Everywhere", which explores the influence of The Beatles on today's world through conversations with notable guests.

Social Media
The year 2020 was perhaps one of the most isolating years in recent memory for so many. One of the things that helped me through that year was The Beatles, just as they helped millions of Americans cope with the sudden death of JFK 60 years earlier. In the fall of 2020, I decided to create @BeatlesEarth on Twitter to share the joy I found when listening to their music... living in their world. In a couple of months, the joy was spreading like the wildfires that were on the news everyday. The account amassed a following of thousands and people from all over the world were interacting.
Two years later, @BeatlesEarth has over 175,000 followers seeking to learn, laugh, hope, reminisce, and participate in an online community that carries the torch of the 1960's Beatlemania. My goal is simple: to educate; to keep their music alive; and to spread The Beatles' 4-letter mantra of "Love" with the world in less than 180 characters.

Podcast
One thing I've always found particularly interesting about The Beatles is how much they continue to influence our world. Their impact on popular music and culture has been well documented in hundreds of fascinating books. However, their influence on individuals, especially individuals who have a lot of influence themselves, has not. When Steve Jobs was designing the first Macintosh, he listened to early takes of “Strawberry Fields Forever” to study how The Beatles creatively progressed and changed their ideas for creative inspiration.
With this podcast, I set out to interview notable people across different careers and backgrounds about how The Beatles influenced their life. New episodes of the "Here, There, and Everywhere" podcast release every Wednesday morning on all streaming platforms. Click the icon above to subscribe!
