PR founder, three-time author and former national TV personality Lauren Cobello opens up about the 20-year entrepreneurial journey behind Leverage with Media PR. She shares how a criminal justice graduate became a frugal-living couponing mom, a regular on Good Morning America, the Today Show, Dr. Oz and Rachael Ray, and the author of “The Recovering Spender”, and why, after reaching the success she’d dreamed of, she felt like a fraud. Lauren reveals how she sat her kids down, sold the house, the boat and the camper, moved into a 1,000-square-foot rental and set out to build a million-dollar company in a year. She talks about standing firm as a woman in business, why the people who got you here can’t always get you there, and the clients she turns away. Lauren also breaks down what PR really is (and isn’t), why AI now decides who gets recommended, how to build a funnel with free content, and why the podcast is the hub. As a single mom of four who just remarried, she and Mara Dorne get honest about work-life balance, the friendships that slip, and what it takes to be both a mom and a CEO.

Italian model and Bravo star Andrea Denver, known for “Winter House”, “Summer House” and “In the City”, opens up about the man behind the reality TV personality everyone thinks they know. He shares how he came to the United States to study for a master’s in communication and was scouted by Wilhelmina Miami instead, landing a Jennifer Lopez music video as his very first job, and how his friends back in Italy found out from paparazzi photos. Andrea talks about earning his green card through his own work, getting stuck in Italy when the borders closed in 2020 just before “Winter House”, and why reality TV is the one place he gets to be completely himself. He speaks honestly about the moment he walked out of a heated conversation on camera, watching close friends’ marriage fall apart in real time, and where he draws the line between fair criticism and online hate. Recorded just weeks before he and his wife Lexi welcomed their daughter, Andrea opens up about growing up an only child with parents who became his best friends, the life he’s building beyond modeling, from creative direction to a New York café and real estate, the streetwear line that didn’t make it, and the lesson from his doctor father he still lives by. After more than a decade in front of the camera, he reveals why fame was never the goal, and why he doesn’t mind walking out the door when it’s time.
