2:42
Speaker 1: at home who don't know Maxwell from in Maxwell's House
2:46
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Right, let's start from the beginning. What what
2:50
Speaker 1: what got you into the career that you're in now
2:52
Speaker 1: with radio.
2:53
Speaker 5: There was a buddy of mine. I played college football
2:56
Speaker 5: and there's a buddy of mine. I was on a
2:57
Speaker 5: football team and he was a DJ at the radio
3:00
Speaker 5: station in the city and San Luis Obispo, California, small
3:03
Speaker 5: Central Coast California, and like, for real, for real. I
3:06
Speaker 5: was like, if he can do it, I can do it.
3:08
Speaker 5: So I bugged him a lot, my buddy DK. He
3:11
Speaker 5: was like my uncle, you know what I'm saying. He
3:14
Speaker 5: was just my my, my big brother. And I was
3:16
Speaker 5: just like, get me into the studio. How do I
3:18
Speaker 5: get to be an intern? How do I get to
3:20
Speaker 5: do something like that? Like if you know what age
3:23
Speaker 5: I was like, nineteen twenty, yeah, you know, what I'm saying.
3:25
Speaker 5: And I was just like, if you can do it,
3:27
Speaker 5: And I just saw the way that he was he
3:29
Speaker 5: was moving around the city, right, you could.
3:32
Speaker 2: Do it, I could do it.
3:32
Speaker 7: Well, I get that way.
3:34
Speaker 2: I was like, I can do what I can do.
3:39
Speaker 2: I'd like, fam.
3:41
Speaker 1: What for me, what I get out of all these
3:43
Speaker 1: episodes from people that are successful is the stories that
3:47
Speaker 1: really make you say, wow. You know, the people that
3:49
Speaker 1: really are successful these days have really had to go
3:51
Speaker 1: through it all. And for the people listening who are
3:54
Speaker 1: just getting started, just just remember that if you're going
3:56
Speaker 1: through something now, that's something that you'll be able to
3:59
Speaker 1: tell during your story you when you're successful down the
4:01
Speaker 1: line and never quit right and just keep going. Says Look,
4:05
Speaker 1: I mean you went to all these markets and and
4:07
Speaker 1: then ended up in the biggest one.
4:08
Speaker 5: And it really was just, uh, it was like, let's
4:13
Speaker 5: let's focus on on being great, but being great by
4:18
Speaker 5: not compromising who you are and yet and and a
4:22
Speaker 5: lot of those opportunities that you know, we'll discuss more
4:25
Speaker 5: about they they came about just like you said, persistence,
4:28
Speaker 5: working hard, being true to who you are, being a
4:30
Speaker 5: team player, but also standing up for yourself in the
4:33
Speaker 5: right moment, you know, not being a pushover, not getting
4:36
Speaker 5: you know, uh, stepped over because you you acted a
4:41
Speaker 5: particular way to a particular person. I mean, it's it
4:43
Speaker 5: sounds cliche to say, but you know, good you know
4:47
Speaker 5: good guys and girls. You know, at the end of
4:49
Speaker 5: the day, it will happen for you, will win. But
4:52
Speaker 5: you just got to remember that it's it's a it's
4:55
Speaker 5: a marathon, it's not a sprint.
4:56
Speaker 8: I was really captivated by the story of the club,
5:00
Speaker 8: and I met with all of the people that I
5:02
Speaker 8: interviewed with. You could tell there was this culture that
5:04
Speaker 8: was like a family, which I know sounds very cliche,
5:07
Speaker 8: but it's true. And I've been in cultures that are
5:09
Speaker 8: not like that, and so it really stuck out as
5:12
Speaker 8: something that was really special. And then on top of
5:14
Speaker 8: all of that, you know, this was back in twenty
5:16
Speaker 8: twenty two when I was interviewing, they had just announced
5:20
Speaker 8: during my interview process that they would be opening a
5:22
Speaker 8: stadium in Queen's and I thought, wow, you know, that's
5:25
Speaker 8: a once in a career opportunity to be able to
5:28
Speaker 8: work on such a meaningful project for New York City,
5:31
Speaker 8: which is you know, essentially my hometown.
5:34
Speaker 2: Only the biggest city in the world, exactly.
5:36
Speaker 3: The FC made vice. That's the tagline, I Love you.
5:40
Speaker 3: For those that are listening that perhaps aspired to be
5:43
Speaker 3: a marketer or are just curious. Right, let's speak about
5:46
Speaker 3: what a typical day in your life looks like in
5:49
Speaker 3: sports marketing, because people tend to think that marketers do
5:53
Speaker 3: a commercial or a billboard mm hmm, or social media maybe,
5:57
Speaker 3: and we do. It's a marketing mix, but that's not
6:00
Speaker 3: all we do.
6:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, well there is no typical day, which of
6:04
Speaker 8: course is probably how everyone answers that question, but it
6:07
Speaker 8: is true.
6:08
Speaker 2: I think yes.
6:10
Speaker 8: I mean so I wear so many different hats. So
6:14
Speaker 8: not only is there sort of your traditional advertising and
6:17
Speaker 8: the match presentation that we just spoke about, but I
6:19
Speaker 8: also oversee retail, so the jersey design and the process
6:24
Speaker 8: to sort of sell those and commercialize them.
6:26
Speaker 3: That's under me as well.
6:28
Speaker 8: Content, which we talked about a minute ago, and so
6:30
Speaker 8: about half my team is dedicated just content production and distribution,
6:35
Speaker 8: and so that's a huge job. We're essentially running a
6:38
Speaker 8: media company if you think about it, because we've always
6:41
Speaker 8: got to be feeding those social channels with new information
6:44
Speaker 8: that's relevant. Reacting to what's going on in the world,
6:47
Speaker 8: and so that's a massive part of what we're doing.
6:49
Speaker 3: Events is another one.
6:51
Speaker 8: So you see sort of like the big fan zones
6:53
Speaker 8: outside of the stadium, but then we like to be
6:56
Speaker 8: out and about in the city as well. So we're
6:57
Speaker 8: at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, We're at the Dominican
6:59
Speaker 8: Day Perie, all these kind of big events. We want
7:01
Speaker 8: to make sure that our club is there so we
7:03
Speaker 8: can kind of tell everybody about it. And then and
7:06
Speaker 8: then there's there's all the other stuff, email sms, I mean,
7:09
Speaker 8: so the list goes.
7:10
Speaker 9: On and on.
7:10
Speaker 2: Meditating is funny. I've never never done that.
7:12
Speaker 3: You've never meditated. It's life changing, it's life changing.
7:19
Speaker 2: I can never meditate.
7:20
Speaker 8: If sext accounts you say to start with a very
7:23
Speaker 8: short amount.
7:23
Speaker 1: Of every time Penny goes and no meditating. That's that's interesting.
7:31
Speaker 1: Does that has that helped you out with with work?
7:33
Speaker 3: I think it has.
7:35
Speaker 8: I've actually never really thought about it until now, but
7:37
Speaker 8: it has. I think my ability now to to focus
7:41
Speaker 8: has really come from that.
7:42
Speaker 2: And so welcome to teach me how to meditate.
7:45
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, No meditation helps. Yeah, a body body scans
7:50
Speaker 3: are the best.
7:51
Speaker 1: I'm over here losing weight and telling her how to
7:56
Speaker 1: help her, how to do a meal.
7:57
Speaker 2: You're like relaxing, losing weight.
7:58
Speaker 3: That's why.
8:04
Speaker 2: You have that voice, Lauren, You're gonna come back.
8:06
Speaker 9: We're that voice if.
8:09
Speaker 2: You close your eyes and has a meditating voice.
8:13
Speaker 1: So Web three, like I says, I'm still trying to understand, right,
8:15
Speaker 1: So for the person out there listening right now, what
8:19
Speaker 1: exactly is web three?
8:20
Speaker 3: Okay?
8:20
Speaker 10: So I'm going to start off with web two, which
8:23
Speaker 10: is what we know everything like social our banks, our
8:27
Speaker 10: social media platforms. Like I'm going to take this as
8:31
Speaker 10: an example, like Facebook, for instance, that's a Web two
8:33
Speaker 10: platform we have. There's an intermediary, there's a second party
8:37
Speaker 10: that owns Facebook, right, which means Facebook owns our data.
8:41
Speaker 10: Everything you post on Facebook is owned by Facebook. So
8:45
Speaker 10: if you ever tried to delete something off Facebook, like
8:48
Speaker 10: your profile or something old profile, it's it doesn't work.
8:51
Speaker 10: Like I've tried for several years my old profile. It's
8:53
Speaker 10: never going to go away. But with Web three, everything
8:57
Speaker 10: is decentralized, so that means there's no intermediary, there's no
9:01
Speaker 10: third party. We own our own data. Yeah, Berkeley is
9:05
Speaker 10: definitely family for me. But I'm going to say transformation.
9:09
Speaker 3: Yeah. I like that transformation.
9:11
Speaker 10: Yeah, because the person I was when I arrived at
9:15
Speaker 10: Berkeley and started my life in New York, I'm not
9:17
Speaker 10: the same person now as I was then.
9:20
Speaker 3: That makes sense.
9:20
Speaker 2: New York will do that to somebody.
9:22
Speaker 10: Yeah, So Berkeley has transformed me.
9:24
Speaker 3: Whether you want to.
9:25
Speaker 2: Or not, you're going to be like a little more
9:30
Speaker 2: aggressive and be like wow.
9:32
Speaker 1: Yeah.
9:34
Speaker 3: All right everyone, if you're driving, you're sitting, if you're
9:38
Speaker 3: standing or on the treadmill, take a pause, sit down.
9:42
Speaker 3: Because the Teach Me Something Podcast is officially an award.

10:29
Speaker 2: What I've won?
10:30

10:30
Speaker 2: More work?
10:31
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I was recently promoted to the APD position,
10:36
Speaker 1: which is the assistant program director for five point one
10:40
Speaker 1: New York. So definitely a huge accomplishment and something that
10:46
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of and very happy to do.
10:48
Speaker 3: I am so proud of you, and I'm so happy
10:51
Speaker 3: for you because not many know all of the work
10:54
Speaker 3: that you do behind the scenes, and you do quite
10:57
Speaker 3: a bit.
10:58
Speaker 1: Just I think it's something, first of all, some I've
11:00
Speaker 1: already been doing for a long time, which in the
11:02
Speaker 1: industry a lot of people know. So before before this position,
11:06
Speaker 1: you know, around the right up to COVID, I was
11:08
Speaker 1: already the music director for Power on to five point
11:10
Speaker 1: one and I was.
11:11
Speaker 2: On air there.
11:13
Speaker 1: Then I took an opportunity to go down to Florida,
11:15
Speaker 1: move with the family, did the whole Florida thing for
11:18
Speaker 1: a year, was down there, shot to the amazing people
11:21
Speaker 1: in Florida, did a bunch of things out there. I've
11:23
Speaker 1: been very blessed in my career to be able to
11:26
Speaker 1: have these opportunities to expand the brand. And I think
11:28
Speaker 1: it all goes back to and I always tell people,
11:30
Speaker 1: I've never been scared, and I've never been scared to
11:33
Speaker 1: step outside the box or your comfort zone, like people
11:36
Speaker 1: say right, Like, there's a lot of people who say, hey,
11:38
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. So you know, there's been plenty times
11:41
Speaker 1: in my career where I've gotten to a point where
11:44
Speaker 1: I'm very successful at something and I could sit there
11:46
Speaker 1: and just do that, right, But I've always wanted more.
11:51
Speaker 1: When I say I always wanted more doesn't necessarily mean like, oh, financially,
11:54
Speaker 1: like I want more money or more of this. I
11:56
Speaker 1: just wanted to learn more. I've always been a student
11:58
Speaker 1: of the game, right.
11:59
Speaker 3: But Peter, we did want to give you something very cool.
12:05
Speaker 3: So for those of you listening, we have here the
12:09
Speaker 3: Davy Award official certificate for Peter as the producer of

Speaker 1: you know, how do I get into that?

Speaker 12: Yeah, I was a communication major and I minored in
13:50
Speaker 12: business down in Texas and I always wanted to do sales,
13:54
Speaker 12: but I just kind of didn't know how I was
13:55
Speaker 12: going to get there. When I graduated, COVID happened, so
13:58
Speaker 12: I was kind of trying to get any job that
14:00
Speaker 12: I could just because of the job market. And then
14:04
Speaker 12: really it was through connections. I was kind of vocal
14:07
Speaker 12: of like I still liked my old job, but maybe
14:10
Speaker 12: it was time for something new.
14:12
Speaker 9: So it was really connections.
14:14
Speaker 12: And helping me kind of put my name out there
14:17
Speaker 12: to people and let them know, yes, I do want
14:19
Speaker 12: to do sales. I don't know where how that's going
14:22

Speaker 2: Because I'm here.
15:27
Speaker 11: So I got into stage handing, which is basically uh
15:31
Speaker 11: here in New York City as anybody that does entertainment
15:33
Speaker 11: and you know, the theaters, and I became a sound engineer,
15:38
Speaker 11: and I basically just started doing a whole bunch of
15:40
Speaker 11: theater work. And you know, one job led to another.
15:44
Speaker 11: During the pandemic, I ended up at CBS Broadcast Center,
15:49
Speaker 11: and in that that turmoal of of change, everything was
15:53
Speaker 11: shut down. Broadway was shut down, theaters were shut down,
15:56
Speaker 11: there was no shows, there was nothing going on. A
15:59
Speaker 11: ghost town out here. But TV was still going on.
16:02
Speaker 11: And at this point in time, Drew Barrymore is coming
16:05
Speaker 11: into New York City to basically start her show, The
16:09
Speaker 11: Drew Barrymore Show. And here we are six seasons later,
16:16
Speaker 11: going into seven hopefully, and that's where we are.
16:21
Speaker 2: That's awesome, that's amazing.
16:22
Speaker 3: And she pioneered during COVID she oh, yeah, absolutely, she
16:25
Speaker 3: did the first of its kind of the live streaming,
16:27
Speaker 3: having you know, the guests zoom in, having the audience Zoman.
16:31
Speaker 11: I'm talking about. These speakers were taller than me and
16:35
Speaker 11: I'm short, you know what I'm saying. So I'm like
16:37
Speaker 11: at this point in time, I'm probably like five to two.
16:39
Speaker 11: These speakers are like what five eight, five nine, you know,
16:42
Speaker 11: we're lugging these speakers around because that's all we had.
16:46
Speaker 11: You know, like there was more modern equipment, but we
16:49
Speaker 11: didn't have the money for it. So we had to
16:51
Speaker 11: do with the means that we had in order to
16:54
Speaker 11: make money to get to the next level of entrepreneurship
16:58
Speaker 11: and eventship and you know, get the lights and newer
17:01
Speaker 11: speakers and newer DJ gear, and you know, you you
17:07
Speaker 11: did with what means you had.
17:11
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
17:13
Speaker 1: I definitely could relate to everything you're saying. You used
17:16
Speaker 1: to do BET of course, so you part for over
17:19
Speaker 1: ten years, so you would know like basically, you know,
17:22
Speaker 1: it wasn't oh I know, the hole behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah,
17:25
Speaker 1: you know, a lot there's a lot of work. I
17:27
Speaker 1: mean it starts in the morning, right, It starts in
17:29
Speaker 1: the morning for meetings to walk through to you know,
17:33
Speaker 1: stage set.
17:34
Speaker 11: Up, and that thirty minutes to one hour show takes
17:36
Speaker 11: like a lot hours hours, but we get it done.
17:40
Speaker 11: You know, we make the magic happen.
17:43
Speaker 3: My job was easy. I just watched you on TV Proya.
17:46
Speaker 2: There's a lot.
17:48
Speaker 1: There was a lot back then that you know, I'm
17:49
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna reach out when they're in town. Actually,
17:51
Speaker 1: that's you just brought up some great guests and hopefully
17:53
Speaker 1: they're watching. We're Gonta get Terrence and Roxy or maybe
17:56
Speaker 1: one of them in here, or even my man Tiger,
17:58
Speaker 1: even Julisa somebody from that. From that was got the
18:01
Speaker 1: honor work with all of them. But that would be awesome,
18:03
Speaker 1: so they could explain really what was going down behind
18:05
Speaker 1: the scenes leading up. They're cool conversation because what you
18:08
Speaker 1: see on TV is one thing, but the preparation leading
18:11
Speaker 1: up behind the racene, the changing the scripts and.
18:14
Speaker 2: Back then and read.
18:15
Speaker 1: It's amazing because reading prompters, you know, live studio audience,
18:20
Speaker 1: they're counting in your ear, they're telling you as you read.
18:22
Speaker 1: There's a word coming up. Get past that word like
18:24
Speaker 1: it's crazy, like the stop and go and the go
18:28
Speaker 1: take a palls here, wait, wait here, We're gonna jump
18:30
Speaker 1: past this line, go to the next one.
18:31
Speaker 2: I remember having those.
18:34
Speaker 1: I used to be the kid who wondn't even read
18:35
Speaker 1: in school, like out loud and then I'm all finding
18:37
Speaker 1: myself like TV with like a million people watching.
18:40
Speaker 11: So I actually have some memorabilia that I have from
18:43
Speaker 11: the studio because I'm one of the studio heads now
18:46
Speaker 11: and I would love to bring that for you guys
18:49
Speaker 11: for when that interview does happen.
18:51
Speaker 6: Yes, I did come here as an international students many
18:55
Speaker 6: moons ago. This is my twenty six.
18:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:57
Speaker 6: I believe in the US wow alone of it in
19:00
Speaker 6: any place in the world. And Berkeley was very kind
19:04
Speaker 6: to me.
19:05
Speaker 1: I was.
19:08
Speaker 6: BBA Management and had a minor in marketing and having
19:16
Speaker 6: started off on Wall Street, I mean thanks to our
19:19
Speaker 6: internship program. I worked on Wall Street Smith Barney, which
19:22
Speaker 6: was part of City Group, and there was a top
19:26
Speaker 6: intern there while I was there, and unfortunately I came
19:29
Speaker 6: out of I graduated at the time when there was
19:32
Speaker 6: a hiring freeze. But like I say, it's always important
19:36
Speaker 6: for people to leave a mark. The person who opened
19:39
Speaker 6: the door was a receptionist. I used to say good
19:42
Speaker 6: morning to every day. She's the one who spoke to
19:45
Speaker 6: the administrator. So you never know, never know, I will
19:48
Speaker 6: open that.
19:49
Speaker 3: Door for you. Amazing twenty six. Did you make a
19:52
Speaker 3: vision board?
19:53
Speaker 1: I did not make a vision board yet because I
19:54
Speaker 1: knew we were going to have a special guest today
19:56
Speaker 1: that was going to explain to me exactly how I
19:58
Speaker 1: should do a vision board.
19:59
Speaker 3: I love this. Should we break up the magazines and
20:01
Speaker 3: the scissors and all the crafties.
20:02
Speaker 2: I want to do my vision board correctly.
20:04
Speaker 3: When is your next event?
20:07
Speaker 6: January twenty fourth at Berkeley College's coming up. It's coming
20:11
Speaker 6: up and you're welcome to come to it. And we
20:13
Speaker 6: need unshod Yes, you need to vision.
20:16
Speaker 3: And it's the Berkeley College campus in midtown.
20:19
Speaker 6: Midtown on three exactly right off.
20:23
Speaker 2: Right down the block, right down the block.
20:25
Speaker 6: And when have amazing panels you can do a vision
20:29
Speaker 6: board for the podcast? Yes, and how can you get
20:33
Speaker 6: to that point? And what's what? What do you want
20:36
Speaker 6: the impact and action to be?
20:38
Speaker 1: And that's the most important thing I think of a
20:39
Speaker 1: vision board. Also that people have to understand it's not
20:42
Speaker 1: just saying hey, I want to do this, this, and this,
20:46
Speaker 1: and they're not doing anything to accompany. They're not just
20:48
Speaker 1: going to come to you because they're on a vision board.
20:52
Speaker 10: Yeah.
20:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, the vision board is not a wish list. That's
20:55
Speaker 1: something that you're going to wake up and guy's going
20:56
Speaker 1: to be.
20:56
Speaker 2: Like, here you go. It's just a reminder of don't
21:00
Speaker 2: forget to work on this.
21:01
Speaker 6: Let's build together, you know, working together, that's.
21:04
Speaker 2: What it's all about. That's what it's all about.
21:07
Speaker 3: I love that it's it's network.
21:09
Speaker 1: And networking is so important, right we tell people everyone
21:12
Speaker 1: who's been obviously on this show, and even people we
21:15
Speaker 1: talk to on the side, I always says it's so
21:17
Speaker 1: so much of becoming successful has to do with relationships,
21:20
Speaker 1: who you know and networking. And just like you said,
21:24
Speaker 1: look the receptionists open the door for you, and look
21:27
Speaker 1: where you have never never know who's.
21:29
Speaker 2: Going to give you the opportunity.
21:30
Speaker 1: Absolutely gatekeepers, right, Yeah, people who will get into a
21:33
Speaker 1: certain position of power and then they don't want anybody
21:36
Speaker 1: to come up. They feel threatened a lot of times
21:38
Speaker 1: by people either taking their position or whatever the case is.
21:41
Speaker 1: And I've always been that person who always tries to
21:44
Speaker 1: open the door for other people and help them, like
21:46
Speaker 1: in the music industry, get them whether it's on the
21:48
Speaker 1: radio or into clubs or anything in my and obviously
21:51
Speaker 1: in my lane that I could help people out with,
21:53
Speaker 1: or even sitting down and having great conversations with a
21:55
Speaker 1: lot of people when we used to have interns to
21:58
Speaker 1: just random even talking to them.
21:59
Speaker 6: I see that personality. I mean, I saw you during
22:03
Speaker 6: at Berkeley talking to the students, and for me that
22:06
Speaker 6: was really inspiring because and.
22:09
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I find myself as I've gotten older, being
22:12
Speaker 1: that person who who could, who gives a lot of advice,
22:16
Speaker 1: and even sometimes at the end of conversations, I think
22:18
Speaker 1: of myself like, wow, that's really good advice.
22:20
Speaker 3: I So, what opportunities do you see emerging that excites
22:28
Speaker 3: you the most about that representation?
22:31
Speaker 6: Oh well, Penny, I want to meet that person. But
22:36
Speaker 6: I must say Penny is also a very special person.
22:38
Speaker 6: I must say, because she also thinks intentionally about people.
22:44
Speaker 6: She's not transactional, and sometimes I think a lot of
22:47
Speaker 6: people miss the mark by being so transactional. When they
22:50
Speaker 6: meet people, they want to close a deal right there,
22:53
Speaker 6: connect with people, form lean in, look at them, show interest,
22:57
Speaker 6: not me, me, me, myself and I because that's a
23:00
Speaker 6: turn off. But when you lean into people, they also
23:05
Speaker 6: get well because people also want people to genuinely get
23:09
Speaker 6: to know them, as opposed to what can you give me?
23:12
Speaker 6: Or what or looking desperate? You understand? So I believe
23:17
Speaker 6: it's that type of thing of connecting and then focusing
23:21
Speaker 6: on excellence. I think all of us has an element
23:24
Speaker 6: of excellence in us.
23:25
Speaker 3: Now you got to add it to your case.
23:27
Speaker 1: I'm going to send a picture of this to all
23:29
Speaker 1: the execs iHeart and say, you know, I've never won
23:32
Speaker 1: a radio award. Hello, weird, only been here thirteen years.
23:38
Speaker 3: Weird and interesting enough. We have an executive with us today.
23:43
Speaker 2: Why it's perfect?
23:45
Speaker 1: The one he reached out to me first and said, hey, pro,
23:48
Speaker 1: what do you think about.
23:49
Speaker 2: Doing a podcast? You know, Carolyn is the one who
23:51
Speaker 2: reached out to me about it.
23:52
Speaker 3: You know, we had this big, powerful introduction for Carolyn Whitman,
23:59
Speaker 3: but honestly, we are overwhelmed with the emotion because Carolyn
24:04
Speaker 3: is a powerhouse. She is a creative force. She is
24:09
Speaker 3: a mama bear and she takes care of all of us.
24:13
Speaker 3: But most importantly, she creates impact through strategy and creativity,
24:19
Speaker 3: and she really builds a familial like ecosystem and that's
24:24
Speaker 3: that's how I see her.
24:25
Speaker 7: Thank you, paying me, goodbye, Welcome to Wow.
24:36
Speaker 3: Of sales for New York iHeart meeting in the building.
24:39
Speaker 3: Carolyn Whitman is with us, so happy to be here,
24:45
Speaker 3: book writer and everything.
24:46
Speaker 13: I think it's really different for every partner, right, because
24:49
Speaker 13: every single partner has a different KPI, they have a
24:52
Speaker 13: different direction, they have a different mission, and a lot
24:54
Speaker 13: of it comes down to listening. Like if you're not
24:56
Speaker 13: listening to people and you're not listening to what they're
24:59
Speaker 13: looking to atchieve or where their challenges are, you can't
25:02
Speaker 13: help them and you're gonna wind up just throwing darts
25:04
Speaker 13: at a board and hopefully it sticks. But if you listen,
25:07
Speaker 13: and you truly listen to somebody, you can come back
25:09
Speaker 13: with something that's going to help them and help them
25:12
Speaker 13: grow and help them meet what they need to, which
25:14
Speaker 13: then turns into a long term partnership like for Berkeley College,
25:19
Speaker 13: Like we started working together a year almost like a
25:21
Speaker 13: year ago to the day, right, Ye, but you've worked
25:23
Speaker 13: with thy Heart for twenty years. Twenty years, which is
25:27
Speaker 13: incredible and such a testament to what a partnership is,
25:31
Speaker 13: that a partnership should have longevity. But we did something
25:34
Speaker 13: totally different together that hadn't been done before because we
25:38
Speaker 13: were really sitting in it, I know, and with Victoria
25:40
Speaker 13: and Jill and pro like, we really listened to each
25:43
Speaker 13: other and really figured out something that would be really
25:46
Speaker 13: special and really different. And that's what it all comes
25:48
Speaker 13: down to. And then you take the creativity, and there's
25:50
Speaker 13: different people who are good at different things and knowing
25:52
Speaker 13: everybody's skill sets, and that's how you make magic.
25:55
Speaker 1: And now we have awards and now look at these
25:58
Speaker 1: bad boys.
25:59
Speaker 3: Great Crow keeps looking at his and spinning it around.
26:03
Speaker 13: So like, for me, I think that's the most important
26:07
Speaker 13: part of my job is watching people find their potential
26:11
Speaker 13: and watching them do incredible things.
26:13
Speaker 9: And in the process I get to do that as well.
26:16
Speaker 13: A lot of my passion for what I do and
26:19
Speaker 13: how I do it, and my work ethic and everything
26:21
Speaker 13: that ties back to it comes down to when I
26:23
Speaker 13: was an infant, I had a third degree brain hemorrhage.
26:26
Speaker 13: They told me I never talk, I never walk, I'd
26:28
Speaker 13: never be able to do anything. They actually told my
26:30
Speaker 13: parents to put me in a home because I'd be
26:32
Speaker 13: nothing more than a vegetable.
26:33
Speaker 1: Wow.
26:34
Speaker 13: My parents my entire life have pushed me to be
26:36
Speaker 13: better than I was, so like they never settled for Okay,
26:41
Speaker 13: they never settled for She's just going to be like,
26:43
Speaker 13: this is it, this is what it is. They've pushed
26:45
Speaker 13: me every step of my life, and in turn, I've
26:47
Speaker 13: always pushed myself. So in business and in this world,
26:51
Speaker 13: like I always push everybody to get to where they
26:53
Speaker 13: need to be because I can see their potential. And
26:57
Speaker 13: if we all just keep doing what someone sets for us,
27:00
Speaker 13: you'll never be able to be who you can be
27:02
Speaker 13: or what you can achieve, because the sky is the limit.
27:05
Speaker 13: So dream big, think big, and you never know the
27:09
Speaker 13: seat you'll be sitting in in five, ten, twenty years
27:11
Speaker 13: from now.
27:13
Speaker 2: Wow. Incredible.
27:17
Speaker 13: That's it, guys, That's all I thought for you as leadership.
27:22
Speaker 3: As you know women in media, it's this is an
27:25
Speaker 3: industry that is male dominated, and to be a powerhouse
27:32
Speaker 3: at the top and getting into those conversations of you know,
27:37
Speaker 3: how do those spaces look now? Being inclusive?
27:40
Speaker 13: It is a different world than where I started ten
27:42
Speaker 13: years ago. Like some of them, there's so much female
27:45
Speaker 13: representation and so much female leadership, not even from like
27:50
Speaker 13: like looking around the room, like there's so many Like
27:52
Speaker 13: I have other co managers who are female. Their senior
27:55
Speaker 13: leadership that's female. The president of the markets group is
27:59
Speaker 13: a female. But with that, I have to say, all
28:01
Speaker 13: my male counterparts are so supportive and I never feel
28:05
Speaker 13: like the woman in the room.
28:07
Speaker 9: I feel like I'm a part of the room.
28:08
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think, which is that that's the company you
28:11
Speaker 13: want to find yourself in. Is the company that makes
28:13
Speaker 13: you a part of the conversation. But yeah, inclusivity is
28:17
Speaker 13: I mean, it's it's an incredible place to be and
28:19
Speaker 13: I think that's why I've been here for ten years.
28:20
Speaker 13: Not only is it something new and it's like a
28:22
Speaker 13: new company every six months. I feel like there's always
28:24
Speaker 13: something new and something under the table. But the people
28:28
Speaker 13: are incredible, Like I am so privileged to work with
28:31
Speaker 13: some of the most impressive talented people across the board.
28:35
Speaker 2: I always give things.
28:35
Speaker 1: I always say that I always send emails, but send
28:39
Speaker 1: people all the time to just gratitude, especially after certain
28:42
Speaker 1: events and things like that.
28:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, when you think about it, like.
28:45
Speaker 3: Company culture is so important, it's and it's something that
28:48
Speaker 3: many overlook.
28:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, one word to describe this podcast in a hole?
28:53
Speaker 3: Okay, pro right, go you got those of you that
28:59
Speaker 3: are not watching.
29:00
Speaker 1: It's one word that keeps coming up, and we've hit
29:02
Speaker 1: on it so many times and every other And I think,
29:05
Speaker 1: what people really at the end of the day, no
29:08
Speaker 1: matter what episode you watch, no matter what you do,
29:10
Speaker 1: which you're going to find out in life the most
29:14
Speaker 1: important part, if not one of the most important parts
29:17
Speaker 1: of becoming successful or moving forward is network. Oh yes,
29:21
Speaker 1: And I feel like every single person who sat here
29:24
Speaker 1: has brought up networking and it's helped them open the doors.
29:27
Speaker 1: And even with you if you didn't network in college
29:30
Speaker 1: and then meet Steve.
29:32
Speaker 3: It's about being intentional, yes, but also leaving an impression.
29:36
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and this and age with digital marketing and
29:40
Speaker 3: all of the different platforms LinkedIn, ninety five percent of
29:42
Speaker 3: employers hire through LinkedIn.
29:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, so everyone.
29:44
Speaker 3: Should have a LinkedIn working on yours.
29:46
Speaker 2: I don't have one.
29:48
Speaker 13: Find that kind of applies to you. Like you walk
29:50
Speaker 13: into a room of strangers, it's intimidating. You're like, I
29:53
Speaker 13: could either choose to talk to the people I know
29:55
Speaker 13: or sit over there and eat an appetizer and call
29:58
Speaker 13: it a day, but like, how do you bridge that conversation?
30:01
Speaker 13: Like communication skills are so important.
30:04
Speaker 14: And yeah, two point of because I did it two
30:08
Speaker 14: years ago when I first started.
30:09
Speaker 3: We just invite ourselves everything on this podcast.
30:15
Speaker 1: I wish if you follow Pennies, she actually goes everything
30:20
Speaker 1: I do.
30:21
Speaker 13: Go.
30:21
Speaker 3: It's all about that power of connection and keeping those
30:24
Speaker 3: doors open and if they're closed, kick them. What I say,
30:28
Speaker 3: you make your way.
30:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about who you know though, it really is,
30:32
Speaker 1: and building that portfolio up, carrying the bottles and there.
30:38
Speaker 3: Above their heads. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was not
30:40
Speaker 3: easy at the end of the day. It sounds like
30:43
Speaker 3: the takeaway is teamwork makes you know the dream work
30:47
Speaker 3: and you can do everything yourself, but you shouldn't.
30:51
Speaker 2: Have to know Bloomberg money, stop playing.
30:55
Speaker 3: How does it feel to see your purpose come to fruition?
31:00
Speaker 14: I think it just went to full circle and coming
31:03
Speaker 14: in here, honestly, being at Berkeley College alone just showcases
31:08
Speaker 14: that anything is possible.
31:10
Speaker 3: Take us back to your Berkeley college days where it
31:12
Speaker 3: all started. What kept you going? Working full time, taking
31:17
Speaker 3: full time courses.
31:19
Speaker 14: I got a job at DAYE Made Pharmacy. I started
31:22
Speaker 14: off as a cashier with there found out they got
31:25
Speaker 14: paid more in the pharmacy tech section and you know,
31:31
Speaker 14: so I was just like, oh, they're making twelve fifty
31:33
Speaker 14: an hour back then, and I.
31:34
Speaker 3: Was just like, this is great.
31:36
Speaker 14: So I studied and got my hippo training and everything
31:40
Speaker 14: and got that job. So I was around the same time,
31:43
Speaker 14: I was going to Berkeley College studying business administration management,
31:47
Speaker 14: and you know, it was it was rough in the
31:50
Speaker 14: beginning and working like eight hours a day, going to
31:54
Speaker 14: school at night, and I was just you know, I
31:59
Speaker 14: was driven by the potential of what I could do.
32:03
Speaker 14: And when I was working at Doing Reid, somebody was
32:06
Speaker 14: talking to me about bartending.
32:08
Speaker 3: So I ended up.
32:10
Speaker 14: Using some money that I made from doing read, went
32:13
Speaker 14: to bartending school, got a bartending job, and then got
32:16
Speaker 14: a second jomp during the time it was at Berkeley
32:18
Speaker 14: College bartending at night, Friday and Saturday nights. So that
32:23
Speaker 14: actually boomed up even more so for me because I
32:25
Speaker 14: was like, I think the hustle was real at that
32:27
Speaker 14: time as well.
32:30
Speaker 3: At college, your potential is our promise.
32:33
Speaker 1: First of all, I love I love the drive right
32:35
Speaker 1: and the passion to want more and to do more.
32:38
Speaker 3: How does it feel to see your purpose come to fruition.
32:43
Speaker 14: I think it just went to full circle and coming
32:46
Speaker 14: in here. Honestly, being at Berkeley College alone just showcases
32:51
Speaker 14: that anything is possible. And I always said, I don't
32:55
Speaker 14: really know, but back then I was like, that's not possible,
32:58
Speaker 14: like I don't believe in these things, like any thing
33:00
Speaker 14: is possible type of situation like everyone goes through. Like
33:04
Speaker 14: people said, it's luck, it's about.
33:07
Speaker 3: Who you know.
33:07
Speaker 14: It's just true, actually who you know at the same time.
33:10
Speaker 14: But I'll get to that later. But at the same time,
33:13
Speaker 14: I think it's just amazing that it came to light
33:18
Speaker 14: where I came back and understood my whole purpose, because
33:23
Speaker 14: back then I didn't know my purpose. I was just
33:26
Speaker 14: taking a different things and just curious and driven not
33:31
Speaker 14: just with the money but also the experiences that i've
33:34
Speaker 14: that led me to where I am right now to
33:36
Speaker 14: at the same time and Berkley College, you know, I
33:40
Speaker 14: had to let go of my dreamy job at that
33:43
Speaker 14: time because I got an opportunity from one of my
33:47
Speaker 14: macro economics professors told me that there was an opportunity
33:51
Speaker 14: at Bloomberg for an internship. So I was like, Okay,
33:55
Speaker 14: interviewed for it. I got the opportunity.
33:57
Speaker 1: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls man pro style.
34:01

Speaker 2: get out of the team.
35:54
Speaker 9: I forgot, bro.
35:55
Speaker 2: I forgot when you said you were.
35:56
Speaker 1: Headed to headed to the station that like you know, no,
35:59
Speaker 1: like for real, I was like, where you're coming from?
36:01
Speaker 2: I was in New Orleans, of course you were, Yeah,
36:03
Speaker 2: of course he has New Orleans. I got you back
36:05
Speaker 2: some King cake though, you yeah, because it's Martin right.
36:08
Speaker 12: Yeah.
36:08
Speaker 2: So I got something I can't eat because I'm on
36:11
Speaker 2: you can smell it, bro, How can I shake it
36:14
Speaker 2: up a little bit? How can I make some noise?
36:16
Speaker 5: And I went to one of the Nick executives at
36:18
Speaker 5: the time that was with the Nickelodeon Music team. His
36:20
Speaker 5: name is Doug Cohen, and I told Doug. I was like,
36:22
Speaker 5: hey man, we need a face for this radio station.
36:25
Speaker 5: Let me brand a show, let me create benchmarks. All
36:29
Speaker 5: the things that we do on our radio shows regularly.
36:33
Speaker 5: I thought, why can't I do this for Nick Radio?
36:37
Speaker 5: And you know, some of it was next time you
36:40
Speaker 5: guys are doing these TV shows, why do you have
36:42
Speaker 5: like a random DJ that you hire that's an actor
36:46
Speaker 5: when it could be DJ Maxwell branded Nick Radio. Here
36:50
Speaker 5: I am in the background of I Carle, you know
36:52
Speaker 5: what I mean? Like that could be our way to
36:54
Speaker 5: keep it all under the same umbrella. When it's you know,
36:57
Speaker 5: when it's Good Burger, when it's these movies, Like, why
37:00
Speaker 5: does it have to be just some random other actor
37:02
Speaker 5: that's back there playing the part.
37:03
Speaker 3: An actual emigration.
37:05
Speaker 5: Way to tie exactly, to integrate Nick Radio into the shows.
37:09
Speaker 2: I was trying Alimation. It told me was like Wow.
37:12
Speaker 2: For them, I think they were like, yo, that's wild.
37:15
Speaker 5: So that led to that led to me first being
37:19
Speaker 5: able to host all the like the the Green Carpet
37:22
Speaker 5: and the Orange Carpet award shows that we were doing
37:25
Speaker 5: at like Kids Choice Awards, Kids Choice Sports Awards. So
37:28
Speaker 5: here I am out there representing Nick Radio as a
37:32
Speaker 5: true face and talent for the brand at these other
37:36
Speaker 5: Nickelodeon events. And I think that that really was kind
37:38
Speaker 5: of like, Okay, we got something going here. And it continued,
37:42
Speaker 5: it just continued. There were opportunities after opportunities that I
37:45
Speaker 5: was just blessed and fortunate enough to be the one
37:47
Speaker 5: to step into those roles.
37:50
Speaker 2: We have the one, the.
37:53
Speaker 3: Only kind of av leam wet. I feel like that
38:00
Speaker 3: was like the price is right, we need the little music,
38:01
Speaker 3: that's right.
38:02
Speaker 15: I can't believe that you guys just gave me like
38:03
Speaker 15: a Bruce Buffer intro. You guys know that, like he
38:06
Speaker 15: only does that for like very special people, the one,
38:09
Speaker 15: the only.
38:10
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, I appreciate what liams here.
38:14
Speaker 2: Everybody, No, No, I'm grateful. I'm so grateful.
38:17
Speaker 15: The banter definitely hits like a new level when you
38:19
Speaker 15: guys do the team episodes for sure.
38:21
Speaker 1: Like, we haven't even talked to you. We've just been
38:22
Speaker 1: going at it the whole time. Being that you're here.
38:25
Speaker 1: Let's backtrack, right, how did you get here? Let's let's
38:27
Speaker 1: go back to look what got you into this? Oh
38:29
Speaker 1: that's a crazy I don't mean into iHeart.
38:31
Speaker 2: I mean into this field, into recording, into everything you do.
38:34
Speaker 15: That's a crazy that's a crazy story.
38:36
Speaker 2: We have time.
38:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy stories do good lim You know this.
38:42
Speaker 15: You know you you make a great you make a
38:44
Speaker 15: great point. So when I got to the college scene
38:48
Speaker 15: and I started playing collegiate baseball, like the workload was
38:52
Speaker 15: just really really taxing on my body and I ended
38:55
Speaker 15: up blowing out my ankle like completely, But I still
38:57
Speaker 15: had to travel with the team. There wasn't like an
39:00
Speaker 15: excuse for that. I like to try and carry myself
39:02
Speaker 15: in a certain kind of way with a certain kind
39:04
Speaker 15: of cadence, and a lot of guys like to follow
39:07
Speaker 15: in line with that.
39:09
Speaker 2: So I felt like I still needed to be around.
39:10
Speaker 2: And so up until I had the.
39:12
Speaker 15: Surgery, which is about a two month span or break
39:16
Speaker 15: in between, I was shooting photo like the the athletic
39:23
Speaker 15: director gave me a camera. It was nothing special, but
39:26
Speaker 15: they needed somebody to get some type of content for
39:28
Speaker 15: the for the team, and my dad was actually a photographer.
39:31
Speaker 15: So I think that that kind of just like trained
39:34
Speaker 15: my eye. But subconsciously, you know, it wasn't like something
39:38
Speaker 15: that was in the forefront of my mind. But I
39:41
Speaker 15: played on a bunch of different baseball teams when I
39:42
Speaker 15: was younger basketball teams, and so I was delivering all
39:47
Speaker 15: these photos to all my friends and stuff like that
39:49
Speaker 15: who were playing on the team. And so just from seeing,
39:52
Speaker 15: you know, thousands of photos that he took, I think
39:54
Speaker 15: it just kind of developed this eye. Like I said, subconsciously, if.
39:58
Speaker 3: You could describe what your legacy would be in one word,
40:03
Speaker 3: what would it be?
40:05
Speaker 15: You know, it's crazy because I've had all the time
40:08
Speaker 15: in the world to be able to think of.
40:10
Speaker 2: What we're at the end of season two. Yeah, to
40:17
Speaker 2: comfort go use.
40:19
Speaker 15: No, No, I'm not gonna lie. I have I have
40:23
Speaker 15: no idea. One word is so limiting. I mean, it
40:26
Speaker 15: speaks volumes right one word, but it's also so limiting.
40:29
Speaker 15: At the same time, if I had if I had
40:31
Speaker 15: one word to use for myself, I'd probably use perseverance,
40:35
Speaker 15: that'd probably be that'd probably be.
40:36
Speaker 3: My That's the word I was thinking about describing.
40:38
Speaker 2: A person choice. Everything you've been through.
40:41
Speaker 15: Yeah, I would choose. I would choose that for sure.
40:44
Speaker 15: I hope that my friends and family would feel the
40:46
Speaker 15: same way. I think that they would, they would align
40:48
Speaker 15: with that.
40:49
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're extremely proud of you, for sure.
40:52
Speaker 15: Absolutely. That's why you got to give people their flowers
40:55
Speaker 15: while they're still in front of you, because that's that's
40:58
Speaker 15: one that's showing real love, you know, real.
41:01
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for listening. Tune in next.
