Turn small starts into big opportunities: #PitchStar Camile Sardina

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Camile Sardina #internship #mentorship one-night experience at Pitch Publicity® and how it helped build her confidence to move to New York City to launch her career after graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Public Relations. Today, she’s running her own boutique public relations firm at Evolist Media representing brands including Airbnb and Peatos.

Join us as Camile looks back on her journey from PR student to agency founder, revealing the lessons that shaped her success and why mentorship is one of the greatest accelerators of career growth. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Camile Sardina on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Smaller companies often provide faster growth and broader hands-on experience. Great pitches depend as much on timing as they do on the story. Be transparent with your boss about your career goals to create opportunities together. Never underestimate the power of a sincere "thank you" to your team. Tell mentors how they have impacted your life—it encourages them to keep investing in others. Small gestures, like an invitation to dinner or genuine recognition, can build the confidence that changes someone's career.

Lead people like people: #PitchPro Jermaine Myrie

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast features Jermaine Myrie, Chief Executive Officer of MENTOR, the nation's leading organization dedicated to expanding access to high-quality mentoring relationships. A lifelong champion of helping people reach their potential, Jermaine brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across education, business, and the nonprofit sector. His career began as an English teacher in Boston before leading business development and strategic partnerships at organizations including Novartis, Xerox, Johnson Controls, Aetna Student Health, and then serving as Chief External Affairs Officer at uAspire. A native New Yorker, Jermaine earned his bachelor's degree in English and sociology from Morehouse College and a Master of Arts in Education from Simmons University. His journey—and his belief in the life-changing power of mentorship—offers a purposeful perspective on leadership and the relationships that shape who we become. Key pitching takeaways from Jermaine Myrie on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Anyone can be a mentor. Mentorship begins with care, not a job title. Storytelling is the foundation of every successful pitch. The strongest workplace cultures are built on mentorship, not management. Employees invest more in organizations that invest in them. The best mentoring moments happen in casual conversations—not just scheduled meetings. Before accepting a job, ask: "How do people grow here?" Then speak with someone who joined the company within the last six months. Start your mentorship journey by identifying what you have to give—and who first gave those gifts to you.

Take initiative and go: #PitchStar Kennedy Reed

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Kennedy Reed’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and the career-building experiences that helped shape her path from college student to communications professional. Kennedy joined Pitch Publicity in January 2022 and remained with the agency through her graduation from the University of Florida in spring 2023, earning both a bachelor's degree in public relations and a master's degree in mass communication with a concentration in digital strategy. During her time at Pitch Publicity, she completed the firm's intensive pre-professional training program, secured hands-on experience across multiple client campaigns and traveled to industry events and conferences that expanded her perspective on the profession. Today, Kennedy is a social media specialist at Proforma, a leader in print and promotional products, where she blends strategic thinking with creative storytelling to help brands build meaningful connections with their audiences. In this episode, Kennedy shares insights on the value of saying yes to new opportunities, how students and young professionals can position themselves for career success, and the lessons from mentorship, travel and real-world experience that continue to influence her work today. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Kennedy Reed on this episode of “Pitch Live”: When traveling for business, be dressed and ready to go—you never know what opportunity may come your way when you land. Networking becomes much easier when you focus on learning about other people instead of worrying about what to say next. Attend networking events with people you trust and have a plan for looking out for one another. If a conversation becomes awkward or unproductive, politely move on and always have an exit plan ready. Before starting a job search, make a list of your contacts and activate your network. Skip the mass applications. Research companies carefully and customize your resume and cover letter. To make in-office work more enjoyable, build relationships with your co-workers and take little breaks away from your desk throughout the day. Don't wait for teammates to ask for help—take the initiative and ask how you can support them.

Build your network before you need it. Your reputation starts on day one. Keep your promises, deliver results and treat people with respect. Listen more than you talk.

Create space for real connection: #PitchStar Myisha Chapman

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Myisha Chapman’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how it helped shape her rise into a respected communications leader in healthcare and corporate communications. Now serving as a vice president on the Corporate Healthcare team at Ruder Finn, Myisha advises biotechnology, pharmaceutical and mission-driven organizations on strategic storytelling, executive visibility, patient advocacy, and integrated communications initiatives designed to build trust, strengthen connection, and inspire action. A graduate of University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and a Master of Health Administration, Myisha has built a career centered on elevating patient voices, expanding access to information, and creating meaningful connections through communications. A proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., she is also intentional about building community, nurturing relationships, and staying deeply connected to the people and networks that have supported her personal and professional growth. In this episode, Myisha reflects on her professional journey, the importance of mentorship early in a career, and how intention in leadership can create lasting impact. Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Myisha Chapman on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Treat every role as a learning opportunity. Ask yourself: What skills can I build here? Surround yourself with people who make room for your ambition and growth. Stay connected to mentors before you need something. Strong relationships are built through consistency, not convenience. Don’t assume what your team wants. Ask direct reports about their goals and where they want to grow. Remote work still requires real human connection. Get on camera, pick up the phone, and make time for face-to-face conversations. The best check-ins aren’t always task-driven. Create space for real conversations, not just work updates. In interviews, especially virtual ones, energy and presence matter. Show enthusiasm, stay engaged, and always come prepared with thoughtful questions. Your network is built through ongoing connection. Early in your career, make it a priority to stay in touch and nurture relationships consistently.

Step up before you're asked: #PitchPro Angela Buonocore

This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast features Angela Buonocore, a powerhouse in corporate communications who spent 36 years shaping the reputations and narratives of some of the world’s most influential companies, including GE, IBM, PepsiCo, ITT and Xylem. Rising to chief communications officer in her final three roles, Angela is known for building award-winning advertising and PR campaigns, launching major brands, leading philanthropic initiatives, and developing the next generation of communications talent. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Advertising from the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida, where she was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007. She has also been recognized as a Woman of Power and Influence by the NYC chapter of the National Organization for Women, named a top PR professional by PR Week, and honored in Rome as a leading Italian-American executive. Retirement has not slowed Angela down as her influence and insights continue to make an impact through board service with the Student Press Law Center, Equal Justice USA, and the Sing Sing Prison Museum. Key pitching takeaways from Angela Buonocore on this episode of “Pitch Live”: Success isn’t guaranteed from education alone, you must understand the business, culture, and power dynamics of your company. If you want influence in any organization, learn finance — business decisions ultimately follow the numbers. Keep your hand up for opportunities. Say yes, volunteer, and step forward when others hesitate. Feedback is a gift. If you’re not receiving it, actively ask for it. Delegation requires patience and sometimes you have to step back longer than feels comfortable to let others succeed. If a pitch doesn’t land immediately, don’t abandon it too quickly — ideas sometimes need time to take hold, and concise messaging helps them stick. If you’re no longer challenged or feel stifled, it may be time to move on and grow elsewhere. It’s never too early to start thinking about what you want your next career chapter to look like.
