In this weeks episode of The Let There Be Art Podcast, we sit down with entertainment executive, author, and the visionary behind Hollywood Confidential, Steve Jones. From sharing a couch with a then-unknown Matthew A. Cherry (author of Hair Love) to manifesting partnerships with Oprah and book deals with HarperCollins, Steve breaks down the real journey of building legacy through purpose, authenticity, and service.

We dive deep into conversations about how Hollywood Confidential was born out of service to struggling Black and Brown creatives, why authenticity isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the blueprint (shoutout to Tabitha Brown), the power of manifestation, vision boards, and speaking life, and much more!

Whether you’re a multi-hyphenate artist, an aspiring creative, or just someone searching for purpose, this episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and thought provoking conversations.
