Hi,
I’m Ashwin Jacob, and I was destined to be mediocre. Growing up, I knew one thing - I'd have to work five times harder than the average person to get half as much.
At 19, I broke into the entertainment industry. By 27, I moved to LA with less the $500 in my pocket, a leaky air mattress, and three months of rent paid. Less than a year after moving west, I was working with Fortune 500 companies such as NBC Universal, Disney, BMW, and Microsoft.
Some notable names on my talent roster included hall of fame NFL wide-receiver Terrell Owens, Billboard Top-20 artist Greg Gatsby, viral sensation Jody Steel, youtuber Dominic DeAngelis, and Gabbie Hanna of The Gabbie Show.
What am I doing now? With the creation of my podcast New Hollywood, I'm sharing the stories of insiders in the world of entertainment, technology, fashion, and business, in hopes to help others achieve success and change their “mediocre destinies”. The podcast allows me to share ideas, practices, and tips for free with people not yet able to engage my company, New Hollywood LLC. Thanks to an amazing community of listeners, New Hollywood became a Top 100 Podcast on iTunes and a Top 20 Podcast to listen to in 2019 on NASDAQ.
I created New Hollywood LLC to work with outstanding individuals, companies, and organizations to make a lasting impact on the world. Other than talent management, my work ranges from management consulting, strategy, optimization, marketing, and advisory roles; in the entertainment and technology sectors.
Ashwin Jacob
