Episode 016: Leigh Holt

06/06/19 • 21 min

Her job is to connect artists with audiences and audiences with artists...and Leigh Holt has done it incredibly well. Just ask Oprah and Lauren Daigle and more than a handful of others so powerful she can’t publicly talk about them. But beneath Leigh’s breathtaking success lies an ever-present fear of failure.

And when it comes to raising her two boys, Leigh finds herself a little fearful too. But the beauty comes in persevering, in rising above the fear, and in moving forward—both in business and at home.

Leigh Holt is the Founder and President of Maddjett, a company which helps clients advance their brands, products and events. Maddjett has a long list of notable clients and projects including Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour, Hunter Hayes, Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend, Harper Collins Christian Publishers, Sony Music Nashville and more.

Episode 015: Dr. Glenn Livingston

Coming from a family of 17 psychotherapists—and with the last name Livingston—there was no question that Glenn Livingston would be a doctor. And while the weight of his highly-stressful career, painful divorce and near bankruptcy could have easily done him in, it was Glenn’s battle with his actual weight that nearly did it instead.

Thankfully, a career helping people, consulting big food and big pharma companies, and pouring himself into addiction recovery organizations led Glenn to discovering the secret to his success...and to the success of many thousands of other food addicts. Battling his own food demons became a lifetime helping others battle theirs.

A psychologist, author and former multi-million dollar consultant to the health food industry, Glenn Livingston is living proof that a lifetime of food addiction and bingeing can be overcome. After losing more than 100 pounds himself, Glenn turned to helping others do the same. His book, “Never Binge Again” has nearly 700,000 copies in distribution.

Episode 017: DJ Step

As the guy in charge of mixing the soundtrack at professional sporting events, downtown clubs and corporate events, DJ Step has his fingers firmly on the pulse of today’s culture. He gets paid to be the life of the party but, for awhile, Step’s life was much more pity than it was party.

Thankfully, family and friends stepped up to pull the aspiring DJ through the lowest of lows, ultimately catapulting him to his dream gig...and to being named one of NPR’s “Five Chicago DJs to Watch in 2019.

From rocking mainstream clubs like Studio Paris in the heart of the Chicago to leading the music direction for the city’s professional soccer team, the Fire, DJ Step turned his love for creating mix tapes at 16-years-old into a full-time career. So much so that Step has been named by NPR to their list of Five Chicago DJs to watch in 2019.
