Turning Stars into Empires ft. David Weintraub | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby
In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, we sit down with David Weintraub—talent manager, reality TV pioneer, and now executive producer of the Lionsgate film Freaky Tales starring Pedro Pascal, Too Short, and Tom Hanks.
From repping hip-hop legends like Too Short to launching hit shows like Sons of Hollywood and Celebrity Rehab, David’s spent decades behind the curtain turning bold ideas into pop culture moments. Now, with his company DWE Talent, he's scaling even further—managing artists, producing shows, landing brand deals, and launching Hollywood’s next wave of talent.
We talk about building hits in a flooded market, what it really takes to stay relevant, the influencer wave, raising a daughter in a world of overnight virality—and why good business and good people still matter more than hype.
If you’re trying to build something that lasts in today’s content-saturated world, this one’s got gems.
