Meet Angel Tuccy of Vedette Global Media

Today we’d like to introduce you to Angel Tuccy.

Angel, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
For ten years, I hosted a daily nationally syndicated radio show, hosting 20 hours of live talk radio every week. One afternoon, I was getting ready to start broadcasting when my producer called me into his office and said, “We’ve made a change.” Five minutes later, I was leaving the building with my cardboard box and my disco ball. I was about to become an empty-nester and my career appeared to be over. I decided to launch Media Mastery to teach authors and entrepreneurs how to get booked on radio shows and how to use media interviews to grow their business. I spent the weekend creating a brand new course, recording the entire program over the next few days. I wrote an entirely new business plan and began speaking at small business expos across the country. That first year, I spoke on over 100 stages in five different countries.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It took almost a year and a half, tweaking and figuring out the business of public speaking before I feel like I knew what I was doing or started making more than I was spending! Right after having my radio shows dropped, I felt defeated. Nobody wants to be rejected like that. But I realized that being fired was a gift to encourage me to step out of my comfort zone. That next year, I was both terrified and excited at the same time. It was all so new, and not knowing what to expect was scary. It was so exciting to share my experience and education with entrepreneurs who are struggling, just like I was. Building a scalable business isn’t built one-to-one; it’s built one to many.

Vedette Global Media – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Vedette Global Media is a boutique media training company. We teach entrepreneurs and authors how to use media interviews and other people’s platforms to attract more leads and grow your business even faster. My clients call me the Media Matchmaker. We launch businesses, books and brands. I’m so honored when someone comes to me to share their story with the world. The Voyage brand is one of our favorite publications to introduce our clients. They are so proud when their story is approved. It lights them, keeps them going, and gives them the courage to stay the course.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
We’ve had so many shifts during the last several months. I had over 60+ speaking events canceled. This wasn’t just devastating for the speakers who were losing their livelihood; it was heartbreaking for the audience, too. They were expecting to network and learn from the experts. Within ten days, Tina Torres and I hosted a 2-day virtual summit with 28 speakers. We had over 1,000 people watch. We couldn’t have pulled off such a well-attended event that quickly if it were in-person. All of a sudden, an entire new platform for events was acceptable. Folks could attend events that before were cost or geographically prohibitive. We’ve seen such a big shift, and the opportunities to speak and share your story on media, stages, summits, and online publications have increased exponentially. It’s already shifted.
