My journey as a TV host began with a spark of passion and a relentless pursuit of fulfillment. ✨ I remember my first job out of college at MTV, mesmerized by the flashy sets and VJs of the decade, dreaming of one day being the voice that captivates audiences.

It wasn't just a dream; it was a calling, a purpose that ignited my soul.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Years flew by, filled with ups and downs, doubts and triumphs, but through it all, that vision never faded. Each setback fueled my determination, and each success propelled me closer to my goal, of being creative and empowered. And then, one day, it happened.

The moment I stepped onto a set, the rush of adrenaline, the connection with the camera, I knew I was home. My heart swelled with gratitude, knowing that every sacrifice, every late night of practice, led me to that defining moment. That moment led to many others in TV, film, and coaching!

So here's to all the dreamers out there, chasing their passions with unwavering tenacity. Remember, it's not just about the destination; it's about the journey—the lessons learned, the growth experienced, the person you become along the way. Embrace every twist and turn, for they mold you into the star you're destined to be.

Never underestimate the power of loving what you do. When you're fueled by passion, success isn't just a goal; it's a natural outcome.

So keep shining, keep inspiring, and above all, keep following your dreams. The spotlight awaits, and it's yours for the taking! 🎥💫 "

When you put your mind to something anything is possible. ✨

I had the vision of starting a podcast focused on making money as a creative so many years ago. It seemed to be the common theme among artists, journalists, and other content creators in my circle. I found myself researching night and day about side hustles, building an online brand and business, and discovering what’s happening behind the scenes in TV, film, and media that could help me create the life I’ve always dreamt of. 💸

Lights Camera Cash with Nicole Sellars was born out of the need to create a life of freedom and flexibility. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I have while creating it, and hopefully, you’ll get some value and actionable steps to monetizing your creativity and charisma. 🎙️

He also mentioned great places to find production work in between on camera gigs that will ultimately round out your resume. Becaus as we all know, as a Host you need to be able to do it all. Write, produce, edit, pitch ideas and of course deliver with confidence.
