ZONDRA EVANS TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

We not only feature small businesses on TV, but we have established an affordable process for businesses to have TV Commercials, Online Digital Advertisements (Geo Targeting) and let's not forget about the power of Press Releases. And yes, we have a Producer Training Academy where we teach small business entrepreneurs how to pivot and become a TV Producer and how to monetize their content.
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR LOGO?
I hired one of the best designers who had previously done some work for Hollywood movies. There are times when you can spare expense, and times when you shouldn't. There is so much power in investing in YOU.

HOW DID YOUR STORY MAKE YOU A STRONGER PERSON? It has increased my faith in God my Father. God even changed my voice for TV over 25 years ago before I ever thought about being a TV Talk Show Host.
HOW DO IDEAS COME TO YOU?
A little small voice, dreams, and early morning wake up calls to converse with my Father that is in heaven.
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BUSINESS NAME?

AS A MINORITY WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS, WHAT IS A PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE STARTING OUT? I would tell them that the Power of Association is great but if you really want to excel learn the Power of Collaboration and Brand Extension. You don't have to build everything yourself - alignment is key. I always say "I would rather eat 1/8 of a slice of pie than to never even taste the pie."

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD TELL YOURSELF? If you have a business idea - don't sit on it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. There is no greater freedom than to own your own business.

"How she got here is a story of true grit, passion for Jesus Christ, and the commitment to never giving up." Angel Tuccy
“It was one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made for my business. Starting a global network meant that I was going to be able to give women the biggest stage of their lives. It was time to trust God, trust the people he had brought to my life, and trust the process,” says Zondra.
WHAT IMPACT DID THE PANDEMIC HAVE ON YOUR BUSINESS? As the pandemic hit, and businesses everywhere were forced to pivot, I was already poised to lead the way. Digital streaming networks became the lifeline for America since everyone was forced to spend time at home, with much of their waking hours on one device or another. I went full steam ahead. I set, what I thought, was an aggressive personal goal, to create 5 new programs. Within 12 weeks, I had commitments not only from 5 new producers, but 12 leading women who had stepped into the opportunity to become business firstresponders, creating a global impact with their stories.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM VACATION?
Aruba with my family. I want quality time with my children and grandchildren. I am immersed in streaming TV and media everyday. What better way to unplug than to read, relax, and invigorate on the beach.
“There are days I wake up in amazement for what God has done for my life. It’s amazing what distribution can do for a small business. We have created the most dynamic distribution platform, and we have only just begun.” - Zondra
