Steve Stein
President/Doughnut Boy/MC
Steve has been in the entertainment industry for 20+ years.
He is an established author having penned “2” bestselling books. He has
lectured across the country on the powers of marketing with an emphasis on
“Celebritizing” your product or service. Over the last “10” years, he was
the pioneer of taking a sleepy “gift bag” at celebrity award shows and
turning it into a full-fledged revenue generating industry. Working with
producers, management and celebrities in the industry, he was able to take
the gift bags concept to the next level by developing “Celebrity Gifting
Suites” backstage at high profile celebrity events. Steve has been featured
in hundreds of media related stories about him and his accomplishments
ranging from Dateline NBC to Howard Stern. Steve does not believe in
“Thinking outside the box,” his credo is “Smash the Box completely.” He and
his associates have taken this type of mental attitude and worked with
everyone from Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to Scott Kay Platinum Jewelry. Other
recent successful “Celebrity Campaigns” include Rockstar Energy Drink, Baja
Fresh and Trim Spa. Beyond the entertainment industry, Steve’s true passions
include spending time with his wife and two children and coaching Little
League baseball.

Lynn Mitchell
Talent Booker/Social Butterfly/Gourmet Cook
Lynn has over 20+ years in the entertainment industry. A lot
has been said about Kevin Bacon 6 degrees of separation… Lynn Mitchell has
“1” degree of separation, she is “1” phone call away from most of the movers
and shakers and A-list talent in Hollywood. She was born in Johannesburg,
South Africa and in her early 20’s made her first strip to the United
States. Upon her arrival, she made a comment to her Auntie that she wanted
to attend the Academy Awards. Her Auntie said that would never happen, you
have to “know” someone. That being said, Lynn got to “know” anyone and
everyone connected in the entertainment world. Eight months later, she was
on the red carpet rubbing shoulders with Hollywood’s elite. She had got
herself a job as a Talent Escort working with the stars. After that came
jobs with the American Music Awards, MTV Awards, Golden Globe Awards and
hundreds of other celebrity attended high profile events. Living the
American Dream, she rose through the ranks from Talent Escort to Talent
Executive and made quite a name for herself with the powers to be in the
entertainment industry. In her free time, she loves to read, cook and spend
time with her two dogs Myron and Norman.
