Steve Schlam’s love of words began in the public libraries of Brooklyn, a passion he carried through life in cities across the U.S. and Mexico. An actor as well as an author, he brings the same attention to character and language to both stage and page, honed further while earning a Master’s in Creative Writing under Joseph Heller.
His novel, The Harvesting of Haystacks Kane, follows a 607-pound wrestler at the end of his life as he revisits triumphs, failures, and unfulfilled dreams—including a lifelong wish to see a butterfly sanctuary in Greece.

Jesse Kove has stepped into the film industry with the kind of quiet momentum that can only come from grit, purpose, and an unwavering belief in the long game. What makes Jesse compelling isn’t just his talent, but the intention behind it. He treats storytelling as a responsibility; to make people feel, to reflect resilience, and to show what’s possible when passion meets perseverance. Whether he’s stepping into the boots of a conflicted gunfighter or slipping into the soot-stained coat of a determined firefighter, he carries with him a sense of purpose that’s impossible to ignore. Kove doesn’t talk about “making it.” He talks about building, carving, and honing his craft. And that mindset is threaded through every performance he’s delivering this year.
Before he was a celebrated painter and sculptor, Sir Daniel Winn was a child of war. His latest film, Chrysalis, transforms that past into visual allegory—a cinematic reflection on memory, identity, and the enduring power of art to heal. Shot on location in Vietnam, the film captures not only the landscape of a nation in transition, but the emotional terrain of a boy finding his place within it. A journey from a painful war-torn childhood to artistic rebirth, Chrysalis renders Sir Daniel Winn’s life of survival as a cinematic act of transformation.

In the old fairy tale, Goldilocks sneaks into a house that isn’t hers — quiet, curious, and careful not to break the rules. But this Goldy? She’s rewriting the story. Goldy isn’t here to stay small, be sweet, or settle for what’s “just right.” She’s kicking down the industry’s doors with her “Only Talent” campaign — a bold, bare protest against a system that still tells women to lead with skin, not skill. This is no fairy tale. It’s a reclamation. A rally cry. And Goldy’s not running away — she’s building something of her own, and she’s daring the world to listen. She’s not just raising her voice — she’s calling out the industry’s obsession with skin over skill.

Chris “Bulldog” Collins never intended to become a leadership voice—and he didn’t follow a polished path to get there either. There’s nothing conventional about his story. Not the early grind. Not the way he thinks. And definitely not the book set that’s flipping leadership theory on its head. He is breaking rules, building leaders and rewriting the language of leadership from the inside out.
