#103. Former Emmy-nominated TV Producer Jessica Klingbaum

Businesswoman and former Emmy-nominated TV Producer Jessica Klingbaum isn't afraid to tell it like it is. She has a very impressive resume working in the media industry, having run live news shows for Fox News and CBS News. Characterized by her energetic personality, Jessica gives us a real and honest insight into the media industry, while sharing some jaw-dropping stories of her own. She had an amazing time for most of her career as a TV producer, but she isn't the type to stay stuck in a place for too long if she isn't feeling happy or fulfilled anymore (kudos to her!), so after a successful 22-year career, she made the decision to leave and launched two businesses, exEXPERTS and Be Hip and Healthy. She now focuses on helping other women to survive and thrive after divorce, having gone through it herself — which is why she's able to connect so well with her audience. Her career evolution is awe-inspiring and is an excellent example of how taking risks, even if you're full of uncertainty, can have such great outcomes. Despite all that she has accomplished, Jessica still has big dreams to come true and it's motivating to see how vividly she's working to achieve them.
