With social media taking over the world the real leaders of the city are coming to light.  Check out my list of moguls doing business that stretches nationwide.

Media moguls at their best, using their talents to push others and their business in front of our display.

The definition of a mogul is a rich OR powerful person. These individuals are just that powerful influences that have paved the way for themselves to become icons. Besides a couple people I have the pleasure of knowing all of them and I can say I look up to every one of them in some sort and you should to. Rather you want to be involved in multimedia or not these are people that stand for something powerful and you need too as well.

No one has the recipe for success but everyone has a story on how they got where they are. Check out my list of local moguls and comment your thoughts on these individuals or add a name that I missed.

    Dallas Martin is definitely flying under the radar as the Senior Vice President of A & R for Atlantic Records. Yea you read it right!

    The Flint Central graduate did what it took to reach his goal, besides working as a corporate wig for Maybach Music Group and guiding the careers of the artists under MMG, Martin was the one person who believed in K. Michelle enough to sign her. I wonder how she's doing.
