We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Phyllis Klein a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Phyllis, thanks for joining us today. Do you wish you had started sooner?
I was trained and worked in a completely different industry for a long time. I wish that the younger me would have gone into broadcast journalism at the beginning of my career path than later.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Front Row Phyllis: Phyllis Klein is an Emmy nominated and Five time Telly Award winning TV Entertainment National Reporter for over 15 years, covering backstage interviews and behind the scenes coverage at some of the Biggest Concerts, Red-Carpet Events and Theatre Productions. In addition, I am a Spokesperson for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and continues to help spread the word and give great exposure to this great foundation. You can watch our coverage on TV and online at Front Row Phyllis on all platforms.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of my job is really getting to know the celebrities in a way most people don’t. Who they really are and what image and message do they want to get out to their fans. Creating a very warm and safe environment for them to feel free to talk about anything and everything they want to talk about.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
When I first got into the business I was told by a manager I could never make this happen and never be able to create a brand and platforms. Fast forward and we are on all platforms including Apple and Spotify with over 750,000 viewers. It takes drive and perseverance and remember no is not no, it may only mean not now..
