🎙 Access Pass

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
This season, we’re exploring what it means to be truly hungry not for food, but for purpose, belonging, and meaning. Sometimes, that hunger shows up when the door won’t open and we’re left wondering if we even have the right password.

👣 Guest Introduction:
Ever typed in a password that should have worked… and it just didn’t? That locked-out feeling hits deeper than tech frustration it’s about access, belonging, and opportunity. My guest today, Vinnie Potestivo (or “Vin,” as I call him), knows that world well.

Vinnie is an Emmy Award-winning Media Advisor and Creator Economist, known for helping people unlock their potential and turn moments of creativity into legacy. As the Editor-in-Chief of I Have A Podcast® a Google News-verified platform amplifying independent voices Vin’s mission is to open doors for storytellers everywhere.

Before that, he spent nearly a decade at MTV Networks (1998–2007), where he helped discover and develop talent behind iconic shows like Punk’d, The Osbournes, TRL, Wild ‘N Out, and Laguna Beach. His fingerprints are all over the pop culture that shaped a generation.

💡 Episode Highlights:

The power of access and what to do when it’s denied

How Vinnie discovered and developed talent at MTV

Why storytelling is the real “password” to connection

The creative hunger that drives lasting impact

What it means to open doors for others in a world obsessed with gatekeeping

Why Cass Elliot’s “Make Your Own Kind of Music” still rings true today and how it connects to the freedom of owning your creative voice
