A Conversation with La'Vista Jones, Podcast Strategist and CEO of 31 Marketplace, a Full Service Podcast Agency

La’Vista Jones was raised with messaging that her voice did not matter. She grew to realize that simply was not true. She became an award-winning podcaster and systems strategist who has helped some of the world's top thought leaders amplify their impact through podcasting. She is a certified coach, six-time author, host of the BOSS Talk podcast and professional speaker with a message that challenges others to shift the way they engage with their work and care for themselves in the process. Her latest book, The BOSS Shift: Doing What You Love Without Sacrificing Yourself To Do It, is a literary blueprint for implementing her signature framework that fuses systemization and self-care into practical self-preserving strategies to balance success and wellbeing. She helps others cease from glorifying busy-ness. BOSS, for La'Vista's work, is an acronym for Battling Overwhelm through Systems and Self-Care. As a corporate dropout and burnout survivor turned entrepreneur La’Vista is the founder and CEO of 31 Marketplace, an agency passionate about providing solutions for ambitious visionaries to amplify their impact, without sacrificing themselves to do it. Her team provides a holistic, done-for-you approach, freeing their clients' time to focus on being the talent behind the microphone. Through her company’s initiative, The Amplify Effect, La’Vista and her team are on a mission to help change agents bridge the gap between innovation and influence through sustainable podcasting. 31 Marketplace helps its clients create assets and build infrastructure to ensure the success of their podcasts and provide ongoing support for podcasters. She is a student of podcasting who assists coaches, consultants, speakers, authors and founders amplify their voices and offers free periodic "ask me anything" sessions for those interested in launching a podcast. La'Vista says, "Your voice has the power to change the world. Give yourself permission to use it." According to her research, an average of 47% of podcast listeners do so to learn something, "so your audience is waiting for you." Although she is a proud native of Ohio, La’Vista currently resides in Arizona with her husband Stewart, their son publicly known as "The Cub," and bull mastiff puppy, Atlas.
