Master the Workforce: From Child Star to Creative Visionary with Jenna von Oÿ

Master the Workforce: From Child Star to Creative Visionary with Jenna von Oÿ

In this exciting episode of Master the Workforce on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN, host Jennifer Sheets and co-host Angela Cherry sit down with actress, writer, and producer Jenna von Oÿ. Best known for her iconic 90s television role as the quintessential best friend, Six Lemeure, on Blossom, Jenna gets candid about the realities of growing up in front of the camera and navigating her awkward teenage years in the public eye. She hilariously recounts her earliest acting gig—stuffing toilet paper down her sweatpants for a bathroom tissue commercial—before diving into her professional pivot. Driven by a passion for directing and producing, Jenna shares her journey from child stardom to attending the prestigious University of Southern California (USC) film school, proving that taking control of your own narrative is both challenging and profoundly rewarding. The conversation then shifts to Jenna’s creative evolution since moving to Nashville in 2007. After working as an editorial lead and hosting the show Pull Up a Chair to explore the local culinary arts, Jenna is now pouring her heart into The Cassandra Project. Inspired by the Greek myth of the Trojan princess who was cursed to speak prophecies but never be believed, this ambitious film trilogy focuses on three women of different ages and cultural backgrounds whose voices have been dismissed by society. With the award-winning first film, Busybody, already complete, Jenna is currently fundraising for the next two installments. Her inspiring journey serves as a powerful reminder for listeners to embrace life's pivots, ignore terrible advice (like her grandmother's quirky German phrase, "Every cow is black at night"), and take fearless action toward their own passions.

Static, Studio Magic, and the "Mother" of All Bad Advice with JD Smith

Jennifer Sheets and co-host Angela Cherry welcome media veteran and entrepreneur JD Smith to the studio. The episode kicks off with a lively, nostalgic look back at the era of live radio, with JD reenacting a classic late-90s broadcast break and sharing stories from his early days at a rock station in Salt Lake City. The hosts and guests connect over the power of genuine human connectivity in broadcasting, contrasting the magic of live, real-time media with modern automation and the "point-and-click" nature of contemporary digital platforms. This discussion naturally segments into a deeper exploration of why JD does what he does and how his professional journey eventually transitioned from on-air radio talent into business ownership. As the conversation continues, JD outlines his evolution from creative services to founding Studio 702, a creative-first ad agency. He emphasizes the critical intersection of brand messaging and internal corporate culture, explaining that a company's marketing can only be successful if its internal operations and leadership are rooted in alignment, accountability, and authenticity. To wrap up the segment, Angela asks JD to share the best and worst pieces of advice he has ever received. JD humorously recalls the worst advice coming from his mother, who begged him not to quit his steady day job at a massive Utah chicken hatchery to pursue radio—a leap of faith that ultimately shaped his entire career.

Mastering the Workforce: The Art of Investment with James Nazarov

Welcome to another episode of Mastering the Workforce on SuperTalk 99.7 WTN featuring hosts Jennifer Sheets with Guest co host Angela Cherry, along with producer RJ, engaging in a deep conversation with private investor James Nazarov . Based in New York, he shares his unique perspective on the intersection of contemporary art and blockchain technology, emphasizing a "high-risk, high-reward" investment philosophy that favors overlooked, innovative ventures. Throughout the show, Nazarov reflects on his upbringing in a creative environment as the son of artist Vladimir Nazarov , explaining how the 2008 financial crisis revealed art’s power as a resilient asset and a "spiritual" connection for families. He offers philosophical insights into the nature of "taste," arguing it is a mix of personal instinct and cultural conditioning, and explores the concept of the "sacred delusion" necessary for great artists to believe in their work before the world does. The episode concludes with Nazarov defining his legacy as one of protecting talent and building a "legacy of love" through the family name. Interspersed throughout the broadcast are teasers for "HireFlow 360," a human-centric "hiring revolution" designed to eliminate resumes and algorithmic bias.
