About the show

The Business-y Podcast is all about business; the ups, the downs, the raw in-your-face situations that make it such a wild ride. Each episode is the honesty of what is behind the scenes of what we all see as the finished product we produce to the world, and everything is a business now. We separate the employers from the employed and dig deep with each new guest.

The Business-y Podcast Ep. 57 Rae Benjamin, Scriptwriter & Producer at Netflix, Founder In The Cut LA

Rae Benjamin didn’t plan on ever becoming a writer for two of the hottest shows on Netflix. She actually majored in Political Science in college. Rae took a chance one day by answering an Instagram post that would lead her down a road to sitting in the same rooms with some of the most creative writers Netflix has to offer and some of the most powerful people in Hollywood currently. Along with a very popular Tik Tok profile where she breaks down scriptwriting, Rae launched In The Cut LA ad the ITC Podcast to help further aspiring writers to succeed.

The Business-y Podcast Ep. 55 Equestrian Comedian Maxi Witrak

Maxi Witrak is making waves in the world of comedy with her past of being a competitive equestrian. She has worked with names such as Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno, Whitney Cummings, Craig Robinson, Michael Rapaport, Kumail Nanjiani, and hot new comedians such as Iliza and Matt Friend. But she can also drop names like Sandler and you’ve seen her in a Jacob Elordi, Daisy Edgard Jones, and Will Poulter film called “Swift Horses” (yes, the horse theme was a complete coincidence Maxi will claim). Maxi Witrak is a multi-talented rebellious soul who is finding strength from her equestrian past to make a way that is undoubtably as hard in Hollywood.

The Business-y Podcast Ep. 51 Dusky Lynn Hall, Professional Barrel Racer

11-year-old Dusky Lynn Hall has been making headlines recently after being the youngest female professional athlete to cross the million-dollar mark and doing so in the sport of barrel racing. She has been nicknamed the “pint-sized prodigy” of barrel racing; raising the bar of recent rule changes, expansions, and lucrative purses to incentivize athletes to pursue their sports. With ambition and determination, Dusky Lynn is leading the way in the new generation of female athletes not held back by what is deemed appropriate by societal standards that were harbored when her mother or grandmother competed in the same sport. Dusky Lynn is the face of the next generation, managed by her CFO “momager” and carried by her equine partners, edging out the competition one area record at a time.
