The most critical factor behind my brand’s success is genuine,organic authentic storytelling. At 42, I’m not just a “fitness influencer” – I’m a testament to the idea that strength, transformation, and personal growth have no age limit. My ultimate goal goes beyond just my aesthetic goals; it’s about wanting to empower women to rewrite their own narratives of what’s possible. Read More>>

Creativity, I see things a bit ahead of when others see them. After that, passion drives perseverance, research, discipline, and all else. See www.theentity.us

Creatively and passion, that’s it for me. A few more words on passion. What makes me write at 3 am? What makes me halt the car to jot down a fresh novel idea? Why did I read countless articles last week on gravity or culture or genetics or tidally locked planets? Why have I worked so hard to get the Cevian ‘body’ right for its planet in Earth’s Ecocide: Ceva? Because I have a passion for what I’m doing. I love this tiny speck of wonder called Earth.

The most important factor behind the success of Penza Productions lies in the strength of our relationships and the trust we’ve built with our clients. Our high retention rate and the fact that the majority of our clients come from referrals is something I’m incredibly proud of. While trackable metrics, quality of work, and social proof are essential, at the heart of it all, people want to know they can rely on you. I firmly believe that transparency, communication, and integrity are non-negotiable, especially in a field rooted in storytelling. Every project we take on is an opportunity to tell someone’s story, and that responsibility is something I never take lightly.  Read More>>

The success of my brand is built on bringing together a group of brilliant women and utilizing all our knowledge from our different careers to launch this business. These women are ‘doers’, who did everything ‘right’ and now want to do it for themselves. I’ve created a company were we can amplify each person’s talents and utilize them to succeed, and then we all benefit from it. Read More>>

The true strength of our podcast lies in our ability to make listeners feel like they’re reconnecting with old friends. For our target audience, we’re that familiar group from down the street—the ones who gathered to talk about movies, TV shows, and the everyday moments that shaped our lives. And for those who didn’t have that kind of group growing up, we’re here to fill that gap. Read More>>
