Hello!
As you will see in my profile, my job over the past 17 years has been *precisely* finding hosts, experts, and talking heads for television, documentaries, new media and other projects.
Besides just a general background in casting and booking, I've worked on multiple business-based shows like MONEY COURT, SAVE IT OR SELL IT, PRAGERU, and two different venture-startup pilots that were not picked up.
It's highly likely that from these shows and other projects (such as finding established black entrepreneurs in Atlanta to be featured in segments on BET) that I have several potential interviewees before doing a single hour of research.
Finally, I also developed a TV series with two psychologists who wrote a book about people who had gone through extraordinary adversity, who went on the either excel in, or overcome the adversity in almost super-heroic fashion.
In short, your job description has not only been my bread and butter for 17 years, I likely have candidates in my files and emails right now that would suite your purposes.
Thanks for your time and I hope we can discuss the project further.
best,
Michael Yates
