Why Kim Haynes? New Show TBA

 

I've been familiar with Kim "Fit Ass" Haynes for quite some time. She used to be very active with a small media outlet, where I'd been featured on half a dozen episodes. I never spoke with her, but knew of her. As I became closer with Blackstone Labs, from contest coverage to social media, I became far more familiar with her. Over the course of time, we talked more and more, and once we did the interview for StrengthAddicts IGTV, I was totally sold!!

Back in the day, 2017-18, I oversaw a robust media network at Iron Mag TV. We had shows featuring Gregg Valentino, Frank Budelewski, IFBB Pro's Theresa Ivancik and Jessica Padilla, among others. The shows were great, but we lacked direction. What were we striving for? Hits? Code usages? Subscribers? I felt as if the focus changed often and a big part of that fault, rested with me. With great power, comes great responsibility. If I could go back and time and redo certain things - believe me, I would. As they say, hindsight is always 20/20. 

For years, my primary focus was contest coverage. That prevented me from doing anything like what I'm contemplating. When you're on a plane 3-4 weekends a month, checking in and checking out of hotels, and eating whenever/whereever you can, you don't have much free time. Now that I've switched gears, I'm ready to start building a media hub. Granted, I'll be working very slowly and adding new shows carefully, keeping to a streamlined budget that will allow a trial period of at least 3-6 months, I know I'll work with great people and publish some amazing content. 

The first show I'd like to make a reality, is a weekly live program on Instagram with Kim Haynes. I'm not sure what the name of the show will be, what topics will be discussed, or days/times, but we're both brainstorming. Another show, I'd love to have back is Down 'N Dirty w/ The Goon. More on that, later.
