In this episode, Nelson and I dive into all the ins and outs of getting Kids in Showbiz as actors, his experiences as a business and life coach, and where AI is going in this industry.

Meet Nelson Paredez-Parks, a dynamo renowned for his eclectic skill set and embodying multiple roles. As an acknowledged expert in the entertainment industry, Nelson is known for his leadership of The ESI Network, a premier talent management company with over 30+ years in the entertainment world. He’s an expert in getting your kids into show business as well as navigating the entertainment business with healthy boundaries. Two other initiatives including the latest two he is most excited with are Helpandanswers.com which helps business owners and entrepreneurs scale up and grow their businesses and TheAIxperts.com, which is an informational site educating entertainment professionals about how to integrate A.I. into their current business models. His other entrepreneurial past ventures include organizations like “Talent Plan,” a celebrity and impersonation company, “Break for Breakfast” a large networking group in Hollywood, “Rise up Entertainment” which developed a series of commercial spots that Nelson directed and produced, and “Kidz Eyes,” a nonprofit company that provided arts scholarships to underprivileged kids in the Los Angeles area. By combining his robust educational background from Columbia College and USC with a passion for mentorship and extensive travel, Nelson Paredez-Parks continues to influence the entertainment industry and inspire our youth. He is not just a player but a game-changer, mentor, and inspirational leader.
