Media Secrets is the distilled playbook from Jess Todtfeld's 13 years as a television producer for NBC, ABC, and FOX, and two decades training executives at the world's most demanding organizations. It hit #1 in 4 countries and 25 categories.

This is not theory. It's the exact system Jess uses when he walks into a boardroom at Google, JPMorgan, or the United Nations the day before a high-stakes media appearance. The same frameworks. The same exercises. The same methodology that has made him one of the most trusted media trainers in the country.

Questions about the book

What is Media Secrets about?

Media Secrets: A Media Training Crash Course is Jess Todtfeld's book on handling media interviews under pressure. It covers the HSP: High Stakes Presenter Methodology for building your core messages, the Answer System for handling any question, the Sound Bite System for delivering a quotable answer in 30 seconds, on-camera body language, bridging away from a hostile question, and what television producers actually look for when they book a guest.

Is the book really free?

Yes. Tell us where to send it and Jess personally emails you the digital edition. There is no autoresponder and no 47-email sequence, just the book.

Who is Media Secrets for?

Anyone who speaks for an organization when the stakes are high, whether you are preparing for your first media interview or your fiftieth. Executives, spokespeople, and subject matter experts use it as a structured system for walking into a high-pressure conversation.

Who wrote Media Secrets?

Jess Todtfeld, founder of Success in Media. He spent 13 years as a television producer for NBC, ABC, and FOX, has trained leaders at organizations including Google, JPMorgan, and the United Nations, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most media interviews given in 24 hours.

Does the book replace media training?

No, and it is not meant to. The book gives you the system. What it cannot do is show you how you actually come across, because that takes a camera, a hard question, and someone playing the recording back with you. Read the book first, then book a session when a real appearance is on the calendar.
