EPISODE 33 • SEASON 7 00:44:00

“The number one mistake people make is not starting,” Angel Livas told Pivotal Moment.


Thinking of starting a business? A podcast? Or writing a book? Angel Livas, founder and CEO of the Alive Podcast Network, has conquered each goal, with plans to revolutionize the media space. “I didn’t come to play, I came to revolutionize the landscape for Black creatives,” Livas said. The Inc. 2024 Female Founder honoree is a noted TEDx speaker, the recipient of the 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award (Biden Administration), and a rising star on AWS Startups “Pitch What’s Possible” which garnered 50 million views before the season’s grand finale. 


The ALIVE Podcast Network, a Techstars Portfolio Company, powered by JP Morgan, is the latest business venture by Livas whose career includes developing radio shows for Larry King and Jane Pauley. In this episode, the media mogul talks to Pivotal Moment about her blueprint to help creatives tap into their God-given purpose - and turn their vision into reality. On the show, she shares industry insight for 2025 and beyond: 


  • “It takes a village to raise a successful business.”


  • “You’re the person you’re looking for. You have the skills and the credentials."


  • “Even in difficult times, there is hope, blessings, and abundance on the other side.”
