In this episode, Amanda's longtime Hollywood pal and publicist to the stars, Chris Rossi shares his unfiltered journey from stage dancer, teenage talent agent to a force for good in LA PR circles. From hustling in talent and product placement in his early days to navigating today’s rapidly evolving media landscape, Chris breaks down what it takes to stay relevant—and indispensable. Spoiler alert - Chris has lived a life - jamming with James Taylor in his lounge room as a kid, say no more right?

We also dive into how publicity has transformed in the age of social media and AI, why relationships still matter more than ever, and the strategies for building trust in one of the most competitive industries.

Whether you’re an aspiring publicist, manager, or creative, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and playing the long game.
