On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What do you do when you have no car, no connections—but a dream so big it keeps you up at night? Annie H. Hoffman took a Greyhound bus to the Kentucky Derby for her first shot in sports media. Now, she’s a media trainer for NFL stars, a trusted PR strategist, and a fierce advocate for rising voices in broadcasting. In this powerful conversation, Annie shares the behind-the-scenes truths that most people never hear—the hard pivots, the hustle, and the heart that built a career across ABC, ESPN, CBS, and beyond.
Jeremy Swick dives deep into Annie’s journey from Cleveland to LA, from executive producer to talent agent, and how she’s stayed grounded through it all. Hear how she manifested her dream job, turned no-name gigs into national spots, and why giving back is at the center of everything she does. If you’ve ever felt like success was out of reach—this one’s for you.
