The Myths Garrett Unlearned that Got Him on TV
Season 1 Episode 35
When most people imagine being on TV, they picture one thing: finally getting the chance to shout from the rooftops about their business, brand, or book.
Here’s the actual truth: that’s the fastest way to never get invited back.
In this episode of the Magnify Your Message podcast, I sit down with my client Garrett Anderson—a creative powerhouse known for inspiring DIY projects, uplifting design, and joyful home transformations. While Garrett is best known for his live, in-studio TV segments, has been featured across media outlets and knows firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to making an impact on air.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The Blacklist Is Real: Why pushing your book or business on live TV will get you banned from studios, and how to avoid that fate.
- Stop Selling, Start Serving: Why your role isn’t to promote yourself, but to make a producer’s life easier by delivering exactly what their audience craves.
- The Hidden Demand for Positive Segments: With so much negative news, TV gatekeepers are desperate for uplifting, practical content like DIY tips, decorating on a budget, and creative family projects.
- Newsjacking Made Simple: How Garrett learned to tie his expertise to breaking news (even when it seemed impossible), so that producers needed him back again and again.
- The Paradox of Value: When you focus on serving instead of selling, the audience will naturally seek out your book, your work, and your message.
If you’ve ever dreamed of amplifying your message in the media, don’t miss this. You’ll walk away with a whole new perspective on how to land media spots, and how to turn them into powerful, lasting opportunities that position you as the go-to expert in your field.
This short and sweet episode will give you the benefit of Garrett’s mistakes, so you don’t have to make them yourself. He went from believing he had nothing “newsworthy” to say, to becoming the refreshing, relevant voice producers can’t get enough of.
