Entrepreneur: Attorney Jalene Mack discusses ten tips on developing your business.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Attorney Jalene Mack

Widely known as “America’s Favorite Entertainment Attorney.” The episode focuses on protecting creative and business assets, avoiding scams, and building a solid foundation for success in the entertainment industry and beyond.

🎯 Key Themes & Takeaways 🔹 The Lure of the Bad Deal

  • Jalene warns about scammers posing as producers or financiers in the entertainment industry.
  • These individuals often:
    • Claim to have access to major networks or funding.
    • Ask creators to sign away rights or pay deposits under false pretenses.
    • Lack a verifiable digital footprint (e.g., no IMDb, LinkedIn, or credible references).
  • Rashawn emphasizes the danger of the “lottery mentality” — believing one deal will change everything.

🛡️ Legal Red Flags

  • Never assign your copyright without legal review.
  • Be cautious of contracts that require you to relinquish ownership or control.
  • Escrow accounts can be manipulated if you don’t control the signature authority.
  • Always verify the legitimacy of a deal and the people behind it.

🧠 Jalene Mack’s Top 10 Business Development Tips

  1. Identify Your Project

    • Know what you’re creating (film, TV, product, etc.).
    • Define the scope and format clearly.
  2. Make Sure You Have a Plan

    • Create a business and finance plan.
    • Know where your funding will come from and how it will be used.
  3. Form a Team

    • Surround yourself with experts (lawyers, accountants, producers).
    • Avoid “yes people” — you need honest feedback.
  4. Prepare a Budget

    • Hire a line producer or financial expert.
    • Account for everything: cast, crew, locations, marketing, etc.
  5. Form a Business Entity

    • Establish an LLC or corporation to protect your personal assets.
  6. Get an EIN (Employer Identification Number)

    • Required for tax and banking purposes.
  7. Open a Business Bank Account

    • Keep personal and business finances separate.
  8. Protect Your Assets

    • Register copyrights and trademarks.
    • Use NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) to safeguard ideas.
  9. Contracts

    • Always put agreements in writing.
    • Hire an attorney experienced in your specific industry (e.g., film, music, TV).
  10. Marketing

    • Don’t assume people will show up just because your product is good.
    • Build a brand and promote it strategically.

📚 Jalene’s Book

  • Title: The Business of Stage Screen and In Between

Overcoming the Odds: Shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming an advocate for children in foster care.

Overcoming the Odds: Shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood to becoming an advocate for children in foster care.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Felita Cornog. An adoption attorney and foster care advocate. Felita Cornog shares her personal journey from a traumatic childhood—losing her mother to domestic violence and her father to incarceration—to becoming a passionate advocate for children in foster care. She discusses the differences between adoption and foster care, the emotional toll of her work, and how others can support children in the system even if they don’t become foster parents themselves. 🧭 Interview Outline 1. Introduction Felita shares that her passion for law began in her teens but she pursued it in her 30s after becoming a mother and homemaker. 2. Personal Backstory Felicia’s mother died from domestic violence; her father went to prison. She and her brother were raised by extended family, avoiding the foster system. This inspired her to help children who aren’t as fortunate. Quote: “I wanted to turn that story of pain into my passion.” 3. Understanding Foster Care vs. Adoption Foster Care: Temporary placement with the goal of reunification. Adoption: Permanent legal relationship. Children may be placed in foster homes or group homes. Quote: “The goal of foster care is always reunification first.” 4. Stereotypes and Realities Many children in foster care are not abused but neglected or orphaned. Misconceptions about emotional instability are common. Quote: “That’s one of the biggest myths—that all children in foster care have emotional problems.” 5. Emotional Impact of the Work Finalizing adoptions is joyful but bittersweet, especially when siblings are separated. Felita handles all types of adoptions except international. Quote: “Adoptions are one of the few times people leave a law office happy.” 6. Support for Foster Parents Foster parents receive stipends and Medicaid support. Services include mental health, respite care, and caseworker assistance. 7. How to Help Without Fostering Volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Donate to private foster care agencies. Use platforms to raise awareness. 8. Adoption Process & Requirements Must be 21+ years old. Can be single or married. Must pass background checks, home evaluations, and physicals. Quote: “We’re not just going to give a child to anyone who raises their hand.” 9. National Adoption Month Celebrated in November, inspired by Dave Thomas (Wendy’s founder). Aims to raise awareness for children in foster care needing adoption. 10. Closing Felita shares her contact info: 📞 Phone: (404) 298-7373 🌐 Website: www.cornoglaw.com Quote: “Keep leading with your gifts.
