YOU WANTED TO KNOW…


Why did you choose to have DeVon as a guest?
DeVon is a huge influencer behind the scenes in Hollywood – and one of the youngest ever Hollywood execs to build his own production company. He’s popular in Hollywood – and in the Christian faith – and in the African American community – he does it all! I couldn’t wait to break down his massive success.

How’d you get the interview?
He is a client of one of the biggest PR firms in the entertainment so I reached out to them when I planned my trip to LA, he was one of the names they suggested.

Where was the interview?
At his killer office in Hollywood.

What was he like in person?
So great, so normal! You can tell he’s a preacher, caring and warm and filled with AMAZING one-liners that stop and make you think. An energetic wordsmith.
