"Good Morning Washington: A Platform for Local Business Exposure"

As Vice President of ABC 7 News in DC, I recognize the important role television plays in connecting businesses with their communities. “Good Morning Washington” serves as a key platform for sharing stories, ideas, and innovations across the region. Highlighting a business on the show not only increases visibility but also fosters meaningful engagement with viewers who trust the information they receive from local news. Television remains a uniquely effective medium for reaching diverse audiences, offering a blend of visual storytelling and credibility that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. By featuring on “Good Morning Washington,” businesses have the opportunity to raise awareness about their brand while contributing to the dynamic and interconnected fabric of the greater Washington area. This platform reflects a shared commitment to amplifying voices and driving local growth.

Jason Zuccari:

Building and nurturing relationships have been fundamental to Jason's success in the senior care industry. “Regardless of your field, staying connected with colleagues is essential for keeping up with industry trends,” Jason emphasizes. Even after a long day filled with calls and meetings, he always makes it a priority to reach out and check in with others. This ongoing effort ensures he stays top of mind when new opportunities arise. The key connections he has developed have also paved the way for his philanthropic endeavors, which are deeply meaningful to him. As a board member of Hilarity for Charity (HFC), a non-profit organization founded by actor/comedian Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren, that supports Alzheimer’s research, Jason is able to unite with others for a cause he passionately believes in. To date, he has raised over a million dollars for Alzheimer’s research and care.

Evan Scott: 

In today’s fast-paced business world, Evan Scott stands out as a transformative leader whose impact extends far beyond the boardroom. His leadership is rooted not just in experience, but in a toolkit of essential skills that rising professionals can adopt. Scott champions the power of selling yourself. Confidence, eye contact, and a firm handshake can open doors when credentials alone fall short. He emphasizes the importance of networking and lifelong learning, even if that means walking away from an unfulfilling role to pursue growth. Strength lies in his deep understanding of finance and market trends, which enables him to align business strategy with customer needs. He also highlights the value of mentorship, crediting much of his growth to guidance from seasoned professionals. Scott leads through listening, collaboration, and respect. He believes in the power of small gestures, like a sincere thank you, to motivate teams. With a strong sense of purpose and humility, Evan Scott exemplifies what it means to lead with impact.
