The Why

The Select 7 is a full-fledged media company and lifestyle brand, with one arm of that being the introduction of our new podcast: The Select Sessions. In addition to growing our readership, we have used the collected knowledge of our community to create a podcast that gives an even more in-depth look at the influential founders, creators and thought leaders we’ve featured, and will continue to feature, on the site every week. To date, we have over 150 guests who have been featured on The Select 7, which means we have a built-in roster of subjects already lined up for The Select Sessions. There are a million different ways to grow a media company, but our philosophy is that it is more impactful to grow with real people who are already engaged in the content we’re creating. We know what our readers are clicking on and what they are interested in, and we’re nimble enough to meet their needs by responding quickly and creating a podcast that will bring the content they are already invested in off the page and into their homes every week.

The What

The Select Sessions unlocks the worlds of today's top tastemakers and what drives them in this curated exchange for people who want both the aspirational and the totally obtainable. Host and Founder of The Select 7, Pamela Schein Murphy, will talk in-depth with Select Guests, past, present and future, sharing secret finds, obsessions and recommendations from their unique perspectives. We’ll also take a deeper dive into our guests’ backgrounds, how they got where they are, what’s up next and we’ll even take a peek behind the curtain with our “7 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me” segment.

The How

A 30 minute deep dive with the world's most interesting personalities, hosted by The Select 7 Founder, Pamela Schein Murphy.

1. The Interview
We go in deep with each guest, learning more about how they became who they are in business, in their personal lives and in the current media landscape.

2. 7 Facts No One Knows About You
Interviews are great, but to get really know someone, ask them to divulge facts they never share in interviews. The answers (and conversations that come from them) are fun, unexpected and telling. Anything from a fear of mayonnaise to minor past indiscretions and everything in between, this is when we're at our most irreverent.

3. It’s Shoppable!
We end with our guests' 7 Selects of the moment: Favorite products, must-have travel accessories, philanthropic endeavors, foodie hotspots. And the best part? The podcast is completely shoppable! All of these products will be linked when the podcast is embedded into our website.

The Who

We cut through the clutter and hand select our guests, from the world's best-known personalities to A-list celebrities to the greatest social-media influencers you’ve never heard of (but should absolutely know). No matter who our Select Sessions guests are, they all have these 7 qualities in common:

Innovative | They are leaders in their respective fields.
Dynamic | They have interests and expertise across all 7 of our verticals.
Inspirational | They compel us to do better, be better and pay attention.
Forward-Thinking | They want to talk about the new not the familiar.
Impactful | They aren’t afraid to shake up the status quo.
Authentic | Our guests are living authentic lives, and they want to share that side of themselves.
Responsible | Our guests are passionate about the world we live in and they want to help change the world for the better.
