Details

I spent years producing history in the making—big stories, breaking news, unforgettable moments. But in my own life, I "dipped to black." I wasn't producing the life I dreamed of. That wake-up call pushed me to step in front of the camera instead of just behind it. Now I help leaders, authors, and experts do the same: claim their presence, share their voice, and produce the life they actually want. On Unknown to Known, I talk with anchors, reporters, and on-camera personalities to reveal how they built presence, power, and purpose in front of the lens. I'm Jamie Maglietta, and this is the show where unknown voices become unforgettable.
