The Media Machine Podcast

What. An. Incredible. Ride.

The Media Machine Podcast, Season 2 has officially wrapped - and we could not be more grateful, energized, inspired, and maybe just a tiny bit obsessed with everything we learned along the way.

Created, hosted, and executive produced by the brilliant Johanna Salazar, with Julie Kellman Reading of Love + Daydreams joining as Co-Host and Executive Producer, Season 2 was an electric mix of curiosity, creativity, and future-facing ideas: 23 incredible episodes, 23 big conversations, and 23 chances to sit with some of the most forward-thinking voices shaping the future of media, technology, and what comes next.

From futurists and media leaders to founders, strategists, technologists, and creative powerhouses - including conversations with guests like Jim Louderback (Inside the Creator Economy), Dermot McCormack (Founder, BravoMondo), Michael Sugar (Founder, Sugar23), Alec Shankman (Founder, HeartRock Partners) Niels Shuurmans (CMO101 Studios), Evan Shapiro (Media Cartographer), Jamie Shapiro (EShap Studios), Vincenza Pizzo (Chief Product Officer), Courtney Harding (Author, “The Spatial Race”), Jayanta Jenkins (Head of Creative Studios, Thumbtack), Julian Zilberbrand (Head of Data Solutions, LG),  Piers Fawkes (Founder, Fodda), Vinnie Potestivo (Emmy-winning EP), Scott Kaufman (Buchwald), Tremaine Grant (Founder, Pulse), Michael Grunwald (Author, “We Are Eating the Earth”), Tomas Uribe (Founder, Mavity), Max Rivera (Angel Investor + Advisor) and more. Every episode gave us something new to think about, laugh about, question, build on, and carry forward.

This podcast has been one of the best creative experiences - colorful, curious, brain-expanding, heart-opening, and full of the kind of conversations that make you want to run to a (digital) whiteboard, start a company, rethink the industry, and call your smartest friends immediately.

We are so proud of what we made. We are so grateful to every guest who joined us. And we are even more excited for what’s ahead.

Don’t go anywhere, because there is so much more of The Media Machine to come!

Catch up on all the episodes now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you love to listen.

And stay tuned: more brilliant collaborations with Johanna are very much on the way. ✨🩷👏
