Talent Manager 'Hoss' of Hoss Management talks radio, voiceover careers, and why doing the work is better than getting results

Spotlight Conversations

In New York today with talent manager Hoss of Hoss Management, a legendary organization which has seen a lotta premier radio and voice talent come through their doors! Starting his agency career right out of college by working with Howard Stern's agent Don Buchwald, eventually setting up shop at Atlas Talent and CESD Talent before starting his own company, Hoss explains the ups and downs of the entertainment business. Forthright and candid, Hoss discusses what it takes to be great (it's not just talent!), his take on the future of AI, radio and voiceover careers, and why his motto '"Do the work - let go of the results'" works in a highly competitive voiceover business. We also talk about personal struggles, including his own courageous turnaround from drug addiction and alcoholism, and how it changed the way he looked at his own business model and the world of entertainment. There's also fun banter about England, cricket, football and wouldn't you know it - vinyl records! Whether you're in voiceovers or radio, here's an episode you don't want to miss.
