The podcast is the #1 Music Business podcast in America and has charted on six continents with listeners in 115+ countries.   After witnessing slim margins in the 2016 U.S. Election, White was inspired to get out the vote. The result was a new initiative called #iVoted in which over 150 venues in 37 states let fans in on election night 2018, who showed a selfie from outside of their polling place. The movement pivoted in 2020 due to the pandemic and created the largest digital concert in history, which took place on election night 2020. Over 450 artists participated in #iVoted Festival 2020, all booked per the data of the top streaming artists in key swing states whose margins are often decided by the size of a concert venue.

Couples wishing to get married during the COVID-19 shutdown have a new option in San Bernardino County with online video marriage ceremonies. “I now pronounce you married. You may seal your vows with a kiss.” That’s Melissa Garcia, Chief Deputy Recorder for San Bernardino County performing their first ever video wedding for Yucca Valley residents Trent and Crystal Bell on May 11. On April 30, when Governor Gavin Newsome, gave counties across the state the authority to perform weddings online, Garcia and her team sprung into action. Eleven days later she held the first ceremony on a platform that resembles your typical video conference call. “It’s a very nice feeling to know you’ve helped them accomplish that and share in the joy they are experiencing,” said Garcia. In the first week over two dozen people a day have called in to make appointments. That just about equals the requests they were receiving for in person marriage appointments—which they limit due to social distancing

After practicing law for nearly 10 years, Melissa Garcia left it all behind to follow her dreams in fashion and hasn't looked back since.  Melissa spends her days making appearances as a fashion expert on shows such as the TODAY Show, The Wendy Williams Show, EXTRA or The Meredith Vieira Show to name a few; shooting segments for global network-Fashion One as their Business/Fashion Expert; writing fashion Columns for sites such as E! or Ivanka Trump or styling actors/TV personalities. Melissa embraces charity work; she was lead stylist on a charity shoot benefiting the Women's Prison Organization, is a volunteer for Dress For Success and has also offered her services for both women's and children's cancer organizations.  Her relatability, professionalism and expertise make Melissa one of the most highly sought after fashion experts in the country. Melissa lives in New York and is married to her high school sweetheart with whom she has three beautiful children. Follow her on Snapchat @mgarciastyling Follow her on Instagram http://instagram.com/melissagarciastyling Follow her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/melissagarciastyling Follow her on Twitter https://twitter.com/mgarciastyling Notes from the show:  From an early age, Melissa loved fashion. Her grandmother knitted and crocheted and her grandfather was a tailor. She always thought that success meant becoming a doctor or lawyer. She almost dropped out of law school, but she doesn't consider herself a quitter. Melissa practiced for 10 years, and hated most of it. While she was an attorney, Melissa found that people sought her fashion advice. Melissa's best friend, a holistic life coach, convinced her to leave law. She started up a web site after taking an 8 week online course. A local blogger, Amy Selling of LuluandLattes.com promoted her. She creates a "digital lookbook" for easy repeat use from a phone. Every woman has a different feeling about hiring a personal stylist. There is a lot of insecurity involved. "I feel we're all given gifts that we're born with, and whether you choose to pursue them or not is up to you... What do you love to do that comes naturally and easy to you, that's not easy for everyone else? That's your gift." Her job is to tap into each individual's personal style. Having a supportive husband was instrumental to her success. One of her best friends' friend is in PR, and connected Melissa. They shot a segment on an iPhone and that got her her first gig: better TV. "I always come from a place of 'Yes.' " "Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real." "If you don't let fear get in the way, and you kind of take a huge chance and leap of faith and walk through the fear, amazing things happen on the other side." The Today Show had her first appearance during a blizzard. "My real job is when I am home." It takes a village. Social media keeps her in the loop. "I've had to become comfortable in the uncomfortable." Book recommendations: Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success by Steve Harvey Destiny: Step Into Your Purpose by T.D. Jakes Discussed Life is Too Short for Miller Lite The joys of helping clients feel beautiful She has worked with a number of charitable organizations, including Dress for Success and Women's Prison Association. She still works with everyday women. Melissa wants to do more television and more charitable work. When she left law, her family took a financial hit. Her preference for social media platforms has shifted from Facebook to instagram to Snapchat. "Please, take that leap of faith!"
