Your Purposeful Life with Adrian Starks
Welcome to Your Purposeful Life and I’m your host Adrian Starks. I am a speaker, voice narrator, comic card/superhero fanatic, book lover, writer, martial artist, health enthusiast and just a fellow human seeking and creating purpose. On this podcast we aim to achieve a different dialect on the concept of purpose because it is not a one size fits all approach. There will be a variety of guests with various backgrounds and skills expressing their purpose through the human mess we call the human journey in the midst of changes and challenges while finding out who they are, why they do what they do and how they got good at doing what they do on this planet. This podcast will be the guidepost to help you do more than determine your purpose. It will give you the tools to trust and honor it bringing you a greater sense of success, fulfillment and achievement on your terms. Let's start this journey of purpose together.

As the former MTV exec who helped launch celebrity talent during MTV’s golden years is now jumping into the spotlight as the host and producer of his brand new podcast "I Have A Podcast.” The podcast’s initial guest lineup includes celebrities whose careers he impacted including the likes of Mandy Moore, SuChin Pak, Christina Milian, TJ Lavin, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Danielle Fishel, Ananda Lewis and Vanessa Lachey - along with additional creatives including artists, producers and even a clothing brand who is making a positive community impact, Happy Jack.
Vinnie helped launch MTV Networks Talent & Series Development department where he worked for nearly a decade 1998-2007! He was the guy at MTV who helped artists and celebrities claim their brands and their narrative in the original wave of unscripted television. Traditionally, he hired the VJs and scouted the MTV News Correspondents for all of the networks. Then, because of those relationships, he began developing original programming with artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Jessica Jessica Simpson on The Osbournes and Newlyweds. Then with actors like Ashton Kutcher on Punk'd, Nick Cannon on Wild 'n Out, and Wilmer Valderrama on Yo Momma! I'm the guy who put pop royalty in their first tv films when I cast Mandy Moore in 2gether and Beyoncé Knowles in Carmen: A Hip Hopera.
