(Season 8 is in partnership with ADCOLOR. ADCOLOR champions diversity and inclusion in creative industries.) Louis Carr has been with BET for 37 years, serving as the President of Media Sales for the last 21 years. During his tenure with the company, Carr has transformed the multicultural space for some of the world's biggest brands and stimulated over $10B in advertising sales. Through strategic partnerships with corporations like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, McDonald's, General Motors, Facebook, Apple, and many more, he has been a guide and a consultant on opportunities that exist within black and brown communities. Through his deep understanding of linear TV, digital and social platforms, he has made BET Networks the number one brand and choice for Black consumers. Carr's mantra, "Be led by data and insights," has driven BET to have the largest repository of information on Black consumers than any other media company worldwide. His understanding of this data has inspired him to create content and messages that help marketers sell products and services and help them become good corporate citizens. In addition to Carr's stellar professional career, he has had a long-term commitment to young people and his community. Carr founded the Louis Carr Internship Foundation (LCIF) 20 years ago to help improve diversity in corporate America through paid internships. The foundation has provided 270 paid internships, in which 62 alumni now have full-time jobs within the industry. Staying true to his commitment of giving back, Carr launched his latest brand called WayMaker. He purposed this initiative to help provide direction, wisdom and inspiration to people wanting to grow their life and change the world. Through the quarterly WayMaker Journal and other avenues, the umbrella brand offers insight from subject matter experts across a wide range of fields. He has also created WayMaker Mens's Summit (formerly known as The Blueprint Men's Summit) and The Blueprint Connect Podcast, which bring together some of Black America's high profile thought leaders to educate Black men in the areas of Finance, Health, Careers, Relationships, and Entrepreneurship. Carr has authored two books, Dirty Little Secrets and Little Black Book: Daily Motivations for Business and Personal Growth. He openly lays out his blueprint to greatness, covering much-needed topics like Leadership, Culture, Strategy, Vision, Success, and Diversity. Most recently, Carr was inducted into the 2023 Advertising Hall of Fame and awarded the Chicago Advertising Federation Silver Medal Award. Carr has also been recognized by theboardiQ as a Top 100 Hall of Fame African American and was named one of the Most Influential Black Corporate Directors by Savoy Magazine. He has served on more advertising industry boards than any other African American. He held seats on the International Radio and Television Society (IRTS), the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB), the Advertising Council, and the American Advertising Federation (AAF). He currently serves on Cedar Fair's Board of Directors, Drake University's Board of Trustees, and The United States Track and Field Foundation (USATF) Board.

https://www.alexvenezia.com Alex Venezia b.1993 Virginia Beach, Virginia; currently lives and works in Raleigh, North Carolina. Primarily a self taught painter, Alex Venezia, first became aware of the transcendent power of art during a high-school art lesson on chiaroscuro while examining the works of Caravaggio. This class marked a unique turning point for the young student as he began to consider a vocation in the arts. Searching for new art experiences he frequented the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia where he was able to fill his eyes with the works of the Masters and make copies. Venezia has sought out and studied classical technique with many of todays top representational painters including: Odd Nerdrum, Colleen Barry, Daniel Sprick, Michael Klein, and Jeff Hein. "In his words, Inspiration comes in many forms, and usually far from the easel, but there's nothing like seeing the work of an artist that you hold in high regard in person. It has a way of putting me in my place and motivating me to become a better painter." And so it has. Most recently Venezia took home the 2017 first place prize in the Still Life Competition at the prestigious Grand Central Atelier in New York. Alex Venezia has been a featured artist in Southwest Art Magazine, 21 Under 31: Young Artists to Watch in 2016 and BuzzFeed article 5 Artistic Prodigies 21 And Under. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in many group shows throughout the United Sates. He currently lives and maintains a studio w/ painters Michael Klein and Louis Carr in Raleigh, North Carolina. Alison Collins Director, Collins Galleries. Orleans, Massachusetts, USA

3 of our previous guests share their biggest F-up's: 1) Scott Hargrove - EVP and CMO @ California Pizza Kitchen, formerly at Snap, World Surf League, Coca-Cola. Many highly accomplished, smart marketers confuse ‘volume' with ‘positioning.' These terms are related but are not the same thing. Scott eloquently and honestly recounts a valuable lesson where he learned a NARROW positioning can result in HUGE sales volume and a huge, diverse customer base. A counter intuitive principle when not understood and respected kills brands and businesses. Scott is the ultimate marketing decathlete who drops jewel after jewel to your brains delight. 2) Seth Greenberg – This ‘Sit down comedian' has turned his passion of being a self-proclaimed radio promotion ‘prize pig' into one of the most insightful, data based, creative and entertaining careers and stories about marketing we've ever heard. Seth IS the poster child for the benefits of being a balanced left brain, right brain marketer. Simply put, this dude is a genius on the low. You will forever remember this marketing conversation. Forever…forever, ever, forever, ever... 3) Louis Carr - Well, well, well Brand Nerds, we've got a hot one in the chamber! Brands, Beats & Bytes is blessed with the historical and inspirational wisdom of my boy and media icon Louis Carr. For those who don't know, Louis keeps it
