What does it really mean to “be the media” in today’s rapidly changing world? In this energetic and insight-packed episode of Eye on Las Vegas, Barry Shore sits down with media expert, television producer, and bestselling author Jess Todtfeld for a powerful conversation about personal branding, artificial intelligence, confidence, and the future of communication.

Become it.” Whether you’re building a business, launching a podcast, growing your audience, or simply looking for inspiration to think bigger, this conversation will leave you motivated to take action.
