“A few years ago I met Lynn at a conference where she was teaching a class on how to become an on-air TV news contributor. Lynn’s class was awesome! From how to write a pitch to how to answer a question in a concise manner she is a total pro who loves to support others. As a result of meeting Lynn I was featured on HLN at least a dozen times and subsequently met other producers who I still work with to this day. I gained the confidence to pitch her and a whole team of producers often with success. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to guide others in their journey to being recognized as an expert in their field and be able to share their thoughts on news outlets. “

“Lynn was able to skillfully pull from me and somehow get me to dig deeper and push me out of my comfort zone to get the most important parts of my story that needed to be communicated through my messaging. She did so with graciousness and kindness. Lynn put her heart and soul into our coaching sessions as if she were creating her own messaging, as if she were building her own brand, and as if she were building her own business."
"I cannot recommend Lynn Smith highly enough. She exceeded expectations, she is a joy to work with, and an absolute true professional.”
Jennifer “JennyQ” Quinn, Livestreamer and Podcaster, JennyQLive.com
As a journalist for 20 years, I know what makes a good TV News Appearance. After getting SO MANY bad pitches and seeing epic flubs during interviews when experts were new to TV and didn’t have any media training, I decided to make a career change to help others get on camera and BE GREAT ON TV in the process.
In the past 15 years, I have:
- Interviewed the biggest celebrities like Dolly Parton, John Legend, Motley Crue, Ludacris, Janelle Monae, Sheri Shepperd and more.
- Produced for the TODAY Show.
- Covered major breaking news like Japan Tsunami, Pulse Nightclub shooting, Aurora theater shooting, Hurricane Harvey and everything in between.
- Interviewed thousands of experts to understand what makes a decent guest and what makes an EXCELLENT guest.
- Been the anchor of multiple national broadcasts with insider knowledge of what decision makers are looking for.
- Established connections with countless industry experts.
