This week we have Noel Elie. Thank you so much for joining us today. You’re an actress, CEO of Noel Elie Productions, and we can’t wait to talk about all these things. So, thank you so much for joining us today. Noel: Yeah, thank you for having me. Joy: So, where do we begin? Because I’ve been following your work, checking out some of the things that you’re working on, and I listened to an episode recently that you were talking more about the production side and working with people on events, their businesses and marketing and branding. I really want to start off with what interested me the most in terms of something that sat in my brain. I’m like, woah, I need to talk to her about this. When you’re talking with clients, what their vision and their why is. So I want to start with you and your company first and talk about the production company. I really want to get into vanity metrics because that really struck me and I want to get into it a little bit. So let’s pause for a moment, and I want you to introduce your production company and what you do. Noel: Well, thank you. I’m glad to be here. I am an actress and director, and I also am CEO of a production and PR company called Noel Elie Productions. I started it, God… unofficially probably almost a decade ago, but officially maybe six years ago, seven years ago? I realized I had this skillset. So, I was the typical struggling artist waiting tables and nannying and doing the thing. A woman approached me and was like, “Oh my God, you have to come work for me. You have to produce my events.” I went home that night and Googled “how do you produce an event.” One thing led to another and I realized I had this skillset. There was a need, especially in the empowerment space and thought leader space, for people who knew what they were doing to product events in New York City and LA, so I started producing events. Joy: Interrupting you real quick. Was the woman who told you that – was that really Gabrielle Bernstein? Noel: Yeah, yeah. Joy: Is that the first person… she’s huge. I’ve probably been following her career for, no joke, like 15 years. She’s really kind of made a rise in the past 5-8 years, but I remember when she was just starting out.
