Today we’d like to introduce you to Courtney Hall.
Courtney, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I wanted to create a platform where I could showcase individuals who are doing great things for their communities and/or themselves. The Courtney Hall Show not only does that but is a networking opportunity for guests who film their interviews on the same day. Two of my guests met on set, one is an author and the other a filmmaker.
After hearing each other’s stories and connecting, they decided to move forward on producing a film on the author’s novel. The author went on to use my interview to get on other platforms like Great Day Houston. That’s the “win” for me. L.I.B.I. (Linking Individuals, Becoming Invincible)
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Short answer, no. Haha, there are days when I want to stop or feel as if I am not doing enough. Then, I see someone who deserves recognition or someone tells me how I inspire them and I instantly keep going.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
One thing I keep in the front of my mind is EXCELLENCE. Is producing a show, whether live or taped, easy? No, it’s work, but I enjoy it. I love knowing I am providing a safe space for others to open up and be themselves.
I have a vision of what my show is supposed to look like, feel like, and sound like before I step foot in the studio. This allows me to answer questions or face challenges that might arise the day of.
The one thing I’ve learned is “just have a conversation”. Too many people are forcing a conversation or trying to be like their favorite media personalities. I must admit, I wanted to mimic the legendary talk host Oprah Winfrey. I had to stop, take a step back and realize my own power and influence. My best interviews are the ones where I’m simply having a conversation.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs, or other resources you think our readers should check out?
Right now, I am reading Through the Eyes of a Black Butterfly by Karen L. Williams Tisdel. I had the opportunity to have her on my show. We chatted about the book.
I encourage everyone to order or pick up a copy and then watch the interview.
