It was a great time reliving the golden years with Vinnie as he talked about the era of MTV, celebrity encounters, brand development and his purpose for finding the right talent. 



Show Notes and Key takeaways on this episode:

• How Vinnie got into MTV
• Which celebrity careers he helped to launch
• Challenges he faced as the industry shifted
• What brand development looks like for anyone
• What he is doing to impact diversity in social media
• His purpose behind everything that he does for seeking talent 

As the former MTV exec who helped launch celebrity talent during MTV’s golden years is now jumping into the spotlight as the host and producer of his brand new podcast "I Have A Podcast.” The podcast’s initial guest lineup includes celebrities whose careers he impacted including the likes of Mandy Moore, SuChin Pak, Christina Milian, TJ Lavin, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Danielle Fishel, Ananda Lewis and Vanessa Lachey - along with additional creatives including artists, producers and even a clothing brand who is making a positive community impact, Happy Jack. 

Vinnie helped launch MTV Networks Talent & Series Development department where he worked for nearly a decade 1998-2007!  He was the guy at MTV who helped artists and celebrities claim their brands and their narrative in the original wave of unscripted television. Traditionally, he hired the VJs and scouted the MTV News Correspondents for all of the networks. Then, because of those relationships, he began developing original programming with artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Jessica Jessica Simpson on The Osbournes and Newlyweds. Then with actors like Ashton Kutcher on Punk'd, Nick Cannon on Wild 'n Out, and Wilmer Valderrama on Yo Momma! I'm the guy who put pop royalty in their first tv films when I cast Mandy Moore in 2gether and Beyoncé Knowles in Carmen: A Hip Hopera.

Episode 105

Join Adrian Starks as he speaks with special guest Dr. Amy Novotny, as she discusses how her PABR®  method is helping to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. 

You will learn:

• Amy's PABR® method that has Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, calling Amy his body healer.
• The journey of Amy and why she chose this path of helping to relieve stress and pain for others.
• Stress and its relation to pain in the body.
• How Amy's breath work technique helps with dealing with the built-up pain and stress in the body from life experiences; even some trauma. 

 Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute (www.pabrinstitute.com) with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years.

Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. 

Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, and Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method.

 My methods have helped people like Robert Kiyosaki to call me his "body healer."

Episode: 100

Join Adrian Starks as he speaks with special guest, Psychosomatic Therapist and healer, Tammy Cho.


You will learn:

• The journey of Tammy and the change she made from being a registered nurse to a healer for high achievers and leaders
• The common problem for high achievers and how Tammy helps to resolve it 
• Why it's important to not ignore past emotions or experiences
• What it means to have emotional resilience 
• Factors to our low energy and production 
• How the face and body communicate what you're truly feeling
• How to shift to be a more heart centered leader and high achiever & why that is important to do

Working as a Registered Nurse and embodying her own spiritual and healing journey for nearly 20 years, Tammy realized healing is not only about medication, surgery and symptom management. Her own trauma and life experiences led her to journey through traditional and non-traditional therapies. Tammy now empowers her clients to connect to their body, heal their past and build emotional resilience to achieve balance, alignment and authenticity. Her mission is to awaken and inspire humanity to return to the truth of who they are. Tammy has a unique and proven face and body analysis system to help her clients discover their own body healing blueprint, allowing them to embody self-love, acceptance and compassion.

Her mission is to inspire humanity to embody self love and acceptance (so they can stop running away from themselves =)

I help high achievers overcome low energy, overwhelm and burnout and build emotional resilience so that they can experience more calm, balance and alignment in their life. I am unique because I offer a proven face and body analysis system which uses their own face and body characteristics to highlight what their body is subconsciously communicating.
