Five years ago Executive Producer Mary Beth Anderson and her family sold almost everything they owned, packed up their car and hit the road headed toward her next production. They’ve been on the road and on location ever since, filming in cities all across the country  together.  Mary Beth – or MB as everyone knows her – specializes in the home renovation space. She’s produced HGTV’s Brother vs Brother, Restored by the Fords, My Lottery Dream Home, Design Star, and Good Bones. She started her career in 2001 on the TLC breakout hit Trading Spaces as well as a ton of other cable nets and broadcast networks. We get into the off the beaten path her career and family life has taken- its a wild ride!

Jamie Goldstein has had an unconventional path to her job as Vice President of Fishbowl Productions. Fishbowl is Vin DiBona’s company – a TV legend best known for creating America’s Funniest Home Videos back in the late 80’s. Jamie talks about her ambitions including expanding the clip show brand into premium content. She’s also very open about how hard it can be to sell any content – especially when you’re a natural introvert.

Producer/Content Creator/Entrepreneur Gayle Gilman is one of those women in this industry I’ve heard a lot about for year but had never met. And I couldn’t have been happier to finally meet her and have the chance to talk to her about her storied career. Gayle’s had three chapters so far in her career – all in unscripted- but all wildly different. Starting off in documentary TV at A&E, then running male skewed programming for Thom Beers and now doing digital content in the young adult realm. We get into all of it and have a great time chatting.

It’s the Netflix documentary series everyone is talking about: KILLER INSIDE: THE MIND OF AARON HERNANDEZ. I go in-depth with the creator and director Geno McDermott. Geno founded the production company Blackfin – based in New York City -and when his company was bought by E-One this past fall, he became the president of alternative programming at E-One. Geno and I talk about how the Hernandez series came to be and dig into the complicated story and many themes it covers. And (spoiler alert!) we do talk about the entire series in some detail. So if you haven’t seen it yet, (run don’t walk) to check it out.

She’s a mover, shaker, former agent turned producer and here to tell us how it all happened! Karrie Wolfe is an EVP and co-Head of Development & Programming at Kinetic Content. She takes us on her journey from small town Indiana to the big city where she became a young agent in the days where life was imitating art (and vice versa) on the HBO show ENTOURAGE. We deep dive on her hit shows MARRIED ON FIRST SIGHT – the origin story – and LITTLE WOMEN – how it went from a crazy internal pitch to a crazy pitch in the room to a hit show with several spin-offs.

Shane Nickerson went from acting in commercials to producing hundreds of hours of television, parlaying those early years at MTV into huge success. In 2013, he founded Superjacket Productions with former pro-skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, and together they created the massive hit show RIDICULOUSNESS, now in season a million (or something like that😏). We talk about his early days at MTV, where he worked on some of my favorite shows like NICK AND JESSICA and RICH GIRLS and – one of my favorite stories to date – how he ended up on the front page of the National Inquirer with Cameron Diaz (!)
