The TDG Take: Dowdell launches podcast aimed at inspiring and empowering communities of color

MSNBC personality Reid is inaugural guest

The Tara Dowdell Group, an award-winning social good public relations and marketing agency in Jersey City, announced this week that it has launched a podcast, “The TDG Take,” which will aim to providing engaging and inspirational content that will offer practical insights and actionable advice to fuel professional growth and success.

TDG founder Tara Dowdell said the podcast matches the firm’s mission to foster entrepreneurship and empower communities of color. To do so, it will offer a platform for diverse voices and perspectives, with a special focus on supporting the Black and brown community, she said.

Each episode will feature candid conversations with industry leaders, innovators and changemakers, sharing their stories, expertise and strategies for success.

The first episode, featuring Joy Reid of MSNBC, is out. (Listen on Spotify and the Tara Dowdell Group website.)

Dowdell expressed her excitement about the podcast’s launch and Reid’s participation.

“We are thrilled to embark on this new venture with ‘The TDG Take,’ and we couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring inaugural guest than Joy,” she said. “Her authenticity and humor, along with Joy’s remarkable achievements and unwavering commitment to empowering others, make her the perfect embodiment of the values we aim to champion through our podcast.”

While “The TDG Take” invites listeners to join the conversation from anywhere, any time, it offers an alternative for those who prefer visual content. Each episode will be accessible on YouTube.

The inaugural season of “The TDG Take” will feature four compelling episodes, each offering a unique blend of inspiration and practical wisdom, Dowdell said. That starts with Reid, the MSNBC personality, entrepreneur, author and producer.

In addition to her prominent role as a television host and political commentator, Reid is a trailblazing entrepreneur who has successfully navigated various industries. Through her multifaceted career journey, Reid exemplifies resilience, innovation and the transformative power of entrepreneurship, Dowdell said.
