Whitney Reynolds believes in more seats at the table, inspiration in the hard moments, and hope for all. This mindset for unique programming originally bucked the trend when The Whitney Reynolds Show launched in 2012 on PBS.

Prior to launching her nationally syndicated program, she worked in news for NBC and went on to launch her first talk show on that network Not being owned by the network truly jump-started her entrepreneurial journey. Whit’s business mentor is Melissa Bernstein of Melissa & Doug who like Whitney, also started her business in an extra space in her home, however, it has since grown to a $500 million company.

Whitney’s “safe space” mission, however, doesn’t stop with her TV program Since 2013 she has hosted a motivational “give back” segment on iHeart Radio and in 2021 launched a national iHeart Podcast, Pop and Positivity. She also authored Beyond The Interview and has a column in Cancer Wellness Magazine Over the years Whitney has helped in fundraising over 2 million dollars for local and global charities through her media work.
