Meet Susan Rocco | Founder and Host of Women to Watch Media®

We had the good fortune of connecting with Susan Rocco and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Susan, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Everything about Women to Watch Media® is based on making the world a better place.

When I launched my radio show in 2012, my desire was to share the real life stories of women leaders from around the world in order to inspire other women and encourage them find their own voice.

Over the past ten years I’ve learned many lessons with regard to my business and the media industry. The most important lesson however was a true revelation.

Since the beginning of time, people have been working to make the world a better place. I couldn’t figure out why with all the initiatives, programs, fundraising, advocates, ambassadors and peace makers we still have the very same social issues that have existed forever…crime, violence, abuse, corruption, poverty and war.

The answer I believe lies in the missing link-men created a system without the contributions of women. Women were always meant to lead. We have an innate knowing, intuition and understand of nature that has no words to define it, but is essential to the “world order” and nature of things. The combination of men and women’s gifts were not utilized when developing a society meant to keep order.

What I hope will ultimately come from the stories we are sharing and the important conversations we are having will be the ultimate empowerment of women. And gradually men will recognize the critical need for women to be involved in all decisions and developments in science, technology, healthcare, finance, business and communities worldwide.

Women to Watch Media® is all about story-telling with the sole purpose of helping women recognize their own power and originality. Ultimately, the world will change for the better when women become the driving force behind the systems, culture, structure and business of the globe.

What sets W2W apart from other media outlets is my relentless search for truth. My own yearning to know the truth in all matters of life led directly to the launch of W2W. I spent the first half of my life unsure and lacking in the courage to speak my own truth, but once I found my own voice, everything changed and opened up for me. That authenticity and determination to be real in all aspects of life resonates with people.

One of the things I am most proud of is the incredible network we have formed through each and every guest who comes on the show and opens up about what has been hard in life for them. It’s not about their awards and accolades. It’s about how we are all human and yearning for the very same thing no matter where we come from – freedom and peace of mind.

My national radio show has been on air for ten years and continually expanded its audience and brand of sharing “The real story behind the title” of women leaders. Our sponsors are integrated corporate partners who own a two-minute segment within the weekly show and make up our Watch Team®. As we prepare to launch on 6ABC.com and add video to our radio show, the goal is syndicate develop unique Watch Team® partners in cities across the country. That I believe will have impact in the arena of women’s empowerment.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Philadelphia is known for it’s rich history, architecture, fabulous restaurants, one of the finest museums in the world with The Philadelphia Museum of Art, pubs that date back hundreds of years, Boat House Row and the Water Works on the Delaware River, The Italian Market and a sports scene like no other.

Our new Four Seasons Hotel at the top of the Comcast building has the most amazing view of the city! It’s stunning.

The annual Philadelphia Flower Show is a must see! Outstanding and award winning globally.

Philadelphia is my home and is sophisticated with a small town feel and a manageable city to maneuver with the nicest people you will find anywhere. Be sure to get a cheesesteak and soft pretzel before you head out!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
