What happens when you combine an Emmy Award-winning media strategist, a room full of passionate podcasters, and one irresistible pup named Beau?

Magic. Absolute magic.

At our New England Podcasters Group First Anniversary Meetup, Founding Member Vinnie Potestivo gave a presentation that left our heads full, our hearts inspired, and our podcasts forever changed.

Vinnie’s talk, Unlocking Creator Visibility: Proven Systems for Growth, Income and Impact, offered a masterclass in modern media strategy. With generosity and clarity, he walked us through game-changing systems to help creators boost visibility, enhance credibility, and build sustainable income, all while staying aligned with their unique voice and mission.

From MOP to FOMP, CTV to NVOD, Vinnie decoded the acronyms and showed us how to leverage these tools to reach wider audiences. He introduced us to IMDb as a personal credibility asset, reminded us of the power of content syndication, aggregation, and propagation, and inspired us with a refreshing take: it’s not just about content – it’s about context.

And then came the mic-drop moment: “Be the source, not the resource.”

This simple phrase shifted our entire perspective. We’re no longer just supporting the conversation, we’re leading it.

Another standout takeaway? The magic of “Vintegration” … Vinnie’s unique approach to visibility that prioritizes strategic integration over isolated content creation. It’s a mindset shift that empowers creators to show up across platforms with intention, consistency, and confidence.

Throughout the session, Vinnie’s enthusiasm was infectious, his advice actionable, and his presence deeply appreciated. And yes – his Emmy came along for the ride, dazzling the room with inspiration and a lotta gold sparkle.

Beau, his adorable dog, also joined the celebration and quickly became our unofficial NEPG mascot.

Thank you, Vinnie, for lighting the way with clarity, warmth, and wisdom. We’re walking away with not just new tools and ideas, but a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

We’re ready to GLOW!
