Leadership Secrets to Navigating Nonstop Change with Laura Molen

In this episode of The Revenue Room™, host Heather Holst-Knudsen sits down with visionary media and advertising executive, President and Founder of Monarch Advisory Collective, Laura Molen. With a career spanning MTV Networks, Paramount, Univision, and NBCUniversal, Laura has had a front-row seat to every major shift in media over the last two decades. Laura shares her incredible journey of navigating constant industry disruption—from the days when cable challenged broadcast television, to the rise of social media fandoms, to the streaming revolution. She offers an inside look at how she spearheaded NBCUniversal’s "One Platform" cross-channel strategy, successfully led the high-stakes launch of Peacock's ad-supported streaming business, and ultimately made the brave personal decision to step away from the C-suite to focus on her family and advisory work.
