Today we’d like to introduce you to Morgan Tompkins
Hi Morgan, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In 2008, I began my journey in the entertainment industry as a radio intern at KIIS FM in Los Angeles, with a goal to become an on-air talent. My passion and dedication paid off when I landed a position at Radio Disney, kicking off a decade-long career with The Walt Disney Company. During this time, I had the incredible opportunity to interview some of the biggest stars in music, TV, and entertainment. My role extended beyond radio; I also hosted a morning show and TV segments for Disney Channel and Marvel Entertainment.
I helped launch the first live-stream pre-show for American Idol in 2018. This experience allowed me to work closely with the contestants each season, giving me a front-row seat to witness the transformation of young talent as they evolved and reached their full potential.
Today, I am the stadium host for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where I continue to engage with audiences in new and exciting ways. Recently, I launched my own media training business, where I help up-and-coming talent gain confidence and feel comfortable in any media setting. My journey has come full circle, and I’m thrilled to use my experience to mentor and support the next generation of stars.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I struggled with the emergence of Social Media during my time as a host and creator. I found myself losing out on gigs to influencers who had no hosting experience simply because they had a following. It took me awhile to understand this was the way the industry was going and learn to embrace it and work alongside the new wave of talent and really explore ways to collaborate and make incredible content together
