Episode 105: Alexis Giostra, Productivity Alchemist

May 29, 2018 by Julie Harris Oliver in business, Coaching, Consulting, Digital content, Diversity, entertainment, entrepreneur, women

Alexis Giostra is a Productivity Alchemist, whose focus is on helping people (mostly women) do less to accomplish more. Who doesn’t want and need that? I found our conversation incredibly juicy, as we delved into things like quantum physics, and law of attraction, and the seven hermetic principles of the Universe. Very woo. Very LA.

Alexis Giostra is a thought leader in the field of productivity and she is the subject of Alexia Anastassio’s (EP 80) next documentary. You can learn more about her here: http://www.strangecharmed.com/ and you can order her planner here: https://amzn.to/2qJnkX1

Episode 103: Stevie Wynne Levine - Executive Producer

May 15, 2018 by Julie Harris Oliver in business, Comedy, Digital content, Diversity, entertainment, entrepreneur, Film & TV, hollywood, LGBT, Music Videos, webseries, women, youtube influencer

Stevie Wynne Levine, acts as the SVP of Production & Development for Mythical Entertainment and spearheads all creative initiatives for Rhett & Link. A Webby, Streamy, and Shorty Award-Winning Executive Producer, Stevie was named one of Variety’s “Hollywood’s New Leaders.” The only bummer was that particular issue of Variety had the giant portrait of Harvey Weinstein on it. Because he ruins everything.

She was an integral part of building the Internet's most-watched daily show, "Good Mythical Morning," serving as Executive Producer for the past five years, along with overseeing the duo's scripted show, "Rhett & Link's Buddy System," their podcast, "Ear Biscuits," and various other pieces of content racking up billions of views.

Previously Stevie was fortunate enough to produce for some of YouTube’s top talent and leading new media companies including Mondo Media, Studio71, and Red Hour Digital.

She is a force to be reckoned with and a talent to watch.

Episode 98: Natasha Feldman, Actor, Host, Chef

April 10, 2018 by Julie Harris Oliver in Comedy, Digital content, Diversity, entertainment, Film & TV, healthcare, hollywood, webseries, women, youtube influencer, cooking

Natasha is an Actor, Host and a Chef. She has a cooking show called Nosh with Tash, which you can find here. She started out as an actor and studied abroad but kept getting distracted by the farmer’s markets and the freshly baked bread.

Her mission is to make cooking accessible and fun for people who like to eat. Which is everyone. Not only is she incredibly charming and a great host, she is also very well educated and really knows what she’s talking about. Her first show was called Cinema and Spice and got picked up by Yahoo.

I think she’s the next big TV food person, but I’ll let you be the judge.

She also has a great sense of humor about her internet trolls.

January 09, 2018 by Julie Harris Oliver in business, Comedy, DGA, Digital content, Diversity, entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood, webseries, WGA, women, Writers, youtube influencer

Selyna and Marissa are Show Runners/Executive Producers of their YouTube Red show called Foursome. They sold their first show at 24 and they are going strong, making their unique mark in this business. They are prolific writers, passionate actors, and have just added Directors to their resumes.

And they have warned you, steer clear of the common table at Republic of Pie if you don’t want to get caught in their uproar.

Episode 79: Alexandra Boylan, Actor, Writer, Director

December 05, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in entertainment, Film & TV, hollywood, Independent Film, investment, women, horror film, faith-based films, family films, youtube influencer

Alexandra is an Actor, Writer and Producer.  She has two production companies – Mirror Tree Productions produces Horror Films and Mustard Seed Entertainment produces Faith-based Family Films. Because there is room for both.

She moved to Albuquerque and started producing and distributing independent films, which kept growing in size and budget as she got bigger and better deals.

Alexandra is also a key contributor to Ms in the Biz, which you can have a look at here.

And this – your poster is way more important than you think.

“Sometimes you have to deconstruct your life in order to reconstruct it.”
