The Key to Business Success? Human Connection.

In a world where digital interactions often replace face-to-face conversations, building real relationships with clients has never been more important—or more challenging.

As a speaker, I help businesses and organizations understand how trust, connection, and authentic relationships drive success. My talks go beyond theory, offering practical insights on how to foster meaningful client relationships, even in a digital-first world.

Whether you’re a small team or a large organization, the principles remain the same: People do business with those they trust. And trust is built through genuine connection.

If your team is looking for strategies to strengthen client relationships, improve communication, and build lasting trust, let’s talk. I’d love to bring this conversation to your organization. Message me direct!

When I launched my own production company, one of the projects we created combined my love of long format interviews with luxury vehicles — the series was called Driving Cleveland (started in 2016). In this episode, I interviewed a local sports reporter with an incredible voice! Today, he will become a contestant on NBC’s The Voice! Vote for Hayden Grove! The message of this post is that YOU CAN combine your passions/talents and turn them into a career. You don’t have to hate your work or stay stuck in something that doesn’t feed your creative spirit! But you will have to take chances on yourself and face uncertainty. I say, go for it!

This caught my attention the moment I saw it. I’ve saved this image as a screenshot for months. Do you ever feel like you’re in a rush to create? To make an idea, a dream, or a goal happen with a sense of urgency? This post is a reminder for us to…

be thoughtful with the process;

trust in quality over quickness;

knowledge that your masterpiece can be both perfect and flawed;

ideas are not stolen because no one can do them exactly like you can, so do you — your way;

inspiration comes first, the audience comes last;

let your inspiration be your lead and follow it where it takes you.

With all of that said (and note to self), don’t let perfectionism get in the way of creating. An imperfect version is better than no version. Now is the perfect time to begin… 🫶 AV.

Crushing news. Jim Donovan is a Cleveland icon and legend. I never had the pleasure of working with him during my days at Channel 3, outside of a time that he popped in as a guest on Good Company, but he was always so kind to me in the hallways during my 12 years at the tv station. Cleveland will miss his voice, his talent, and his presence. God bless Jim and his family.

Jimmy spent 39 years at WKYC as a sports and news anchor and was the radio voice of the Cleveland Browns for 25 seasons. He died after a courageous cancer battle.

My TED talk on The Power of Human Connection through Uncomfortable Conversations is worth your 18 minutes. Watch it and share it with someone you care about.

What do you say to your friend whose son was recently killed in a horrific accident? Or when a woman you know has struggled with fertility issues, gets pregn...

I’m often asked, “WHO was your favorite celebrity interview?” I’ll always go back to this story. I go into greater detail in my book, Live Your Playlist, but this 23-second version captures the essence of the story.

I was 22 years old with little interviewing experience. Not quite confident in myself yet. I was flown to LA to interview for the film THE INSIDER. This is pre-Gladiator. He was kind and generous with his time. He recorded a game-changing message for me during our interview. I settled into a good run in tv. 10 years later I had the opportunity to tell him what it meant to me (with Denzel in the room!).

I’ve been a fan of Russell Crowe and his work ever since! And I take the meaning of that moment with me even now as I’ve moved past tv and owning my video production company .

The takeaway: One kind gesture can make a huge impact on someone’s confidence. Be good to people. Help others. Use kind words. Words have impact. Lead with a good heart. ❤️

Hi, it’s me! Life has been pretty busy (got married, building a business, spending important time with family, travel when I can), so I haven’t spent much time on this page. But I’m back here with the intention of keeping you posted on my business/work and and some of the personal matters that I care most about (inspiring people, human connection, learning something new, things that bring joy). Hope you’ll follow along and invite other to as well! Thanks for being here with me! - Andrea

I love the air she gives me to breath, the grass between my feet, the cleansing feel of her water, and the nourishment she provides. Mother Earth, She gives us everything we need. How lucky are we to live on this beautiful planet? 🌎🌍🌏

PS. This is one of my favorite photo shoots that I did with back in 2014. No filters. No edits. Just beautiful nature in Northeast Ohio. 🌱

I love my work! Starting and running a company Pisces Rising Media is all of these things: exciting, energizing, exhausting, rewarding, feelings of certainty and uncertainty, and anything I want it to be if I keep moving forward. Even when I’m thinking, “How am I going to pull this off?”

I think it’s important to have a compass; a personal and professional mission statement, a credo, or whatever you want to call it.

When something throws you off course, when you find yourself deviating from a plan, or when you come to a place of indecision — your written mission statement will guide you to the RIGHT DECISION FOR YOU.

We are in balance with ourselves when we are true to our authentic selves.

Words that align with my compass:
AUTHENTIC
VISION
TRUTH
VALUE

REFLECTION + QUIET MOMENTS.

This is when our soul speaks to us.

In order to find growth, healing, and movement into purpose, we must spend time listening to our soul. ✨
