Today’s guest for Nota Bene is Angela Hollowell, a film director, writer, and founder of Rootful Media. I’ve followed her work on LinkedIn since 2022 and we reconnected recently when she shared her newsletter Please Hustle Responsibly.

Angela has been creating visual storytelling projects that build and advocate for more equitable communities for the better part of a decade. We’re going to talk about her vocation: creating without compromise and inspiring other entrepreneurs.

Angela writes a 2x weekly newsletter, publish a 1x weekly podcast, and she has a YouTube channel filled with free education. You can get all of these delivered directly to your inbox when you join Please Hustle Responsibly.

As a filmmaker, she’s worked with nonprofits, national brands, and social enterprises to tell stories for social media, web platforms, and in-person film screenings. Want to support her upcoming independent film and audio projects? Reach out to her!

As a highly acclaimed speaker, you will find her at podcast conferences, business conferences, colleges, and entrepreneurship accelerators sharing all things storytelling, business, creativity, and community like:

Podcast Production: Project workflow development, creative direction for podcast teams, audience and guest experience design, video podcasting, showrunning
Digital Marketing Strategy: storytelling, growing brand affinity, organic social media, video marketing
Creative Entrepreneurship: building the foundation of your creative business and navigating different career stages
Innovation in the Creator Economy: creative communities, creator education, creative tech companies, future of video podcasting
Documentary Filmmaking: developing a film premise, film development research, film marketing and distribution

We’ll talk about how she got started, how she’s creating a virtual third space for entrepreneurs to be themselves and support one another, her mentors and muses (Boston Celtics Social Media), intentional networking, and the big moonshot she’s hoping for (SPOILER: Head Basketball Coach at Duke University Kara Lawson you HAVE to work with her!!!).
