| 6/24/26 | ![]() Take initiative and go: #PitchStar Kennedy Reed | This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Kennedy Reed’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and the career-building experiences that helped shape her path from college student to communications professional. Kennedy joined Pitch Publicity in January 2022 and remained with the agency through her graduation from the University of Florida in spring 2023, earning both a bachelor's degree in public relations and a master's degree in mass communication with a concentration in digital strategy. During her time at Pitch Publicity, she completed the firm's intensive pre-professional training program, secured hands-on experience across multiple client campaigns and traveled to industry events and conferences that expanded her perspective on the profession. Today, Kennedy is a social media specialist at Proforma, a leader in print and promotional products, where she blends strategic thinking with creative storytelling to help brands build meaningful connections with their audiences. In this episode, Kennedy shares insights on the value of saying yes to new opportunities, how students and young professionals can position themselves for career success, and the lessons from mentorship, travel and real-world experience that continue to influence her work today. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Kennedy Reed on this episode of “Pitch Live”: When traveling for business, be dressed and ready to go—you never know what opportunity may come your way when you land. Networking becomes much easier when you focus on learning about other people instead of worrying about what to say next. Attend networking events with people you trust and have a plan for looking out for one another. If a conversation becomes awkward or unproductive, politely move on and always have an exit plan ready. Before starting a job search, make a list of your contacts and activate your network. Skip the mass applications. Research companies carefully and customize your resume and cover letter. To make in-office work more enjoyable, build relationships with your co-workers and take little breaks away from your desk throughout the day. Don't wait for teammates to ask for help—take the initiative and ask how you can support them.

| 11/19/25 | ![]() Say yes and figure it out: #PitchStar Lisa Osborne | This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Lisa Osborne’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how it laid the foundation for her remarkable career in marketing and healthcare technology. While interning at Pitch Publicity®, Lisa earned dual degrees in Public Relations and International Studies from the University of Florida, later continuing her education with an Executive MBA from Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. Today, she serves as vice president of product marketing at Waystar (NASDAQ: WAY), where she leads go-to-market strategy and commercialization for the company’s AI-powered software. With more than a decade of leadership experience across both private equity-backed and public companies, Lisa previously served as vice president of marketing at Finvi, leading brand strategy, corporate communications, and demand generation. Lisa’s journey from intern to VP in under 10 years exemplifies how saying yes to new opportunities—and being prepared to rise to them—can accelerate career growth in extraordinary ways. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Lisa Osborne on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Show up with the confidence of who you want to become, not just who you are today. Don’t overlook what you may view as “boring” — they often offer the most unexpected opportunities. Always prepare before you pitch; research your audience and tailor your message. Be adaptable and adjust your pitch approach for different audiences and situations. Say “yes” to new challenges, even if you’re unsure how to do them — you’ll figure it out. Protect relationships; never burn bridges — they often lead to your next big step. Network before you need something — build genuine relationships first. When mentoring, be clear, kind, and honest — consistent truth helps others grow.

| 11/5/25 | ![]() Follow the fun to find success: #PitchPro Ashley Leroux & Patrick Sullivan | This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast features husband-and-wife power duo Patrick Sullivan Jr. and Ashley Leroux, the brilliant entrepreneurial team behind Jigsaw Health, known for their delicious magnesium and potassium electrolyte powders that make feeling good easy. Together, Patrick and Ashley — affectionately known as “Pashley” — have built an empire that blends wellness, creativity, and community. They’re not only successful business partners, but also musicians, filmmakers, and passionate pickleball players who turned their love for the sport into The Orchard @ Jigsaw Health, a boutique indoor pickleball stadium in Scottsdale that inspired their Amazon Prime documentary, “Breaking Pickleball.” Now, they’re tackling an even bigger project — producing, “Breaking Big Food: How The American Food System Went Rotten, and How It's Being Revived,” while also brewing up inspiration (and espresso) at their newest venture, Firefly Organic Coffee & Market. Key pitching takeaways from Patrick Sullivan & Ashley Leroux on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Set the tone: Start your pitch by lowering defenses — try, “This might be a bad idea, but hear me out…” — then pivot to a “yes, and” mindset. Move through friction: When ideas stall, take a walk. Movement sparks creativity and clarity. Follow the laughter: If it makes you laugh, you’re on the right track. Do what’s fun: Success follows passion, not spreadsheets — lean into what energizes you. Answer the call: When you feel called to do something, don’t hesitate — act and make an impact. Think big: Avoid making your pitch too niche; your idea needs a broad, addressable market. Cast a wide net: Share your pitch broadly — don’t wait for one “perfect” audience or opportunity. Value the people: The real reward isn’t just the journey — it’s the company you keep along the way.

Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Daniela Restrepo on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Be consistent and persistent in pursuing opportunities. Strong writing skills will set you apart—sharpen them early. Don’t buy into the myth that agency life means no weekends—find balance.

| 10/8/25 | ![]() Protect the power of your voice: #PitchPro Gary Green | This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast features Gary Green, executive director of the Student Press Law Center — the nation’s only legal organization dedicated solely to protecting the free press rights of student journalists. A longtime champion of press freedom and storytelling, Gary joined the Student Press Law Center in 2023 after leading the Center for Sustainable Journalism at Kennesaw State University, where he launched “Fresh Take Georgia,” a student-powered news service covering statewide and national issues. Previously, he guided award-winning multimedia coverage as digital director of the University of Florida’s Innovation News Center and deputy news director for WUFT, the NPR and PBS affiliate for north central Florida. His career also includes nearly two decades as a photojournalist at outlets like the Orlando Sentinel and Akron Beacon Journal. Gary holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Ohio University and a Master of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of Florida, grounding his professional journey in both artistic storytelling and journalistic rigor. From the newsroom to the classroom to the courtroom, his life’s work has been dedicated to empowering the next generation of reporters and defending the First Amendment rights of student journalists nationwide. Key pitching takeaways from Gary Green on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Anticipate industry shifts: adapt early, build new skills, and stay relevant. Localize big national stories to make them resonate regionally. Always have a backup pitch ready in case your first isn’t accepted. Do your homework: at minimum two calls of research before making a pitch. Build a balanced “news diet” from diverse outlets: social, legacy, digital, broadcast, local, and national. Diversify your sources: cover both sides of the story to eliminate bias and earn credibility. Be civically engaged: know how the government works and how to request public records. Seek new mentors at every career stage to keep growing and leveling up.

| 6/25/25 | ![]() Invest in yourself: #PitchStar Melody Stampley | This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Melody Stampley’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how it helped launch her multifaceted career rooted in purpose. Melody earned her bachelor’s in Public Relations from the University of Florida and completed her master’s in Communication from Florida International University. In 2020, Melody found her true calling when she paid off nearly $25,000 in debt and became a certified Ramsey Solutions Master Financial Coach and a certified Connect Financial Ministries Financial Coach. Now the founder of Centsible Finance, she’s on a mission to empower individuals and families—especially future generations—with smart, faith-based financial guidance. As a Certified Educator in Personal Finance®, Melody empowers others to take control of their money, invest in themselves, and build a debt-free life rooted in purpose. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Melody Stampley on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Set clear remote work boundaries so expectations are managed from the start. Speak truth and purpose into others—people often rise to meet the potential you reflect back to them. Avoid comparison—“keeping up with the Joneses” leads to unnecessary debt (spoiler alert: the Joneses are broke too). Your current situation isn’t permanent—change is always possible. Keep your day job while building your business to give yourself financial stability and flexibility. There’s no perfect moment to launch a business —start where you are and plan wisely. Mentors come in all forms—older, younger, peers. Let mentorship grow naturally. Don’t just save money—start investing early to build long-term wealth.
