Entertainment Executive, Cultural Architect And Marketing Powerhouse Amber Grimes Hosts A Bold New Show Turning Lived Experience Into Practical Game

Listen to the first episode HERE

NEW YORK – March 3, 2026 – Today, iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s The Black Effect Podcast Network announced the launch of acclaimed entertainment executive and creative visionary Amber Grimes’ new podcast, “If You Knew Better.” The series will explore growth, reinvention, setbacks and strategies for personal and professional success. 

Joining The Black Effect Podcast Network, a platform dedicated to amplifying Black voices across culture, business and entertainment, Grimes expressed her excitement: “The Black Effect is on a mission to amplify the voices of Black women, and I'm so honored to be one of the voices they believe in.”

“We firmly believe in the power of authentic dialogue from authentic voices,” said Dollie S. Bishop, President, Black Effect Podcast Network. “’If You Knew Better’ embodies our commitment to creating content that not only inspires but equips our listeners with the tools and information they need to grow and evolve with intention.”

Grimes explained the inspiration behind her new show: “I created ‘If You Knew Better’ because I recognize many of us are navigating growth and big life transitions without real mentorship or honest conversations. The show is built around the belief that experience is the best teacher. Whether it's a solo episode or a conversation with a guest, we take lived experience, extract the lessons, and turn them into practical tools.”

A college dropout turned executive leader, Grimes rose to become Executive Vice President and General Manager of Love Renaissance (LVRN), where she has made a significant impact on the music industry. Under her strategic leadership, LVRN’s roster, including Summer Walker, 6Lack, Belly Gang Kushington, Odeal and TxC, has expanded its global reach and cultural influence. She has overseen daily operations, marketing strategy and revenue generation, playing a central role in the label’s continued growth and rising prominence.

Beyond business results, Grimes has been a passionate and influential advocate for diversity and inclusion, helping to transform the narrative around Black artistry and representation in music. She has consistently championed equitable opportunities and paved the way for Black women in executive leadership, establishing a powerful blueprint for future generations in the industry.

You can’t rewrite the past, but you can learn from it. Grimes did exactly that, building her career with no traditional roadmap, just lessons that turned into leverage. Now, she is creating space for others to do the same.

On “If You Knew Better,” Grimes will share that hard-earned wisdom alongside artists, creatives and culture shifters who open up about the missteps they made, the mindsets that changed everything, and the game they wish they knew sooner. Together, they will unpack the highs, lows and pivotal moments across life, career and relationships so listeners either do not have to go through it, or can move smarter when they do.

Each episode will deliver real talk, sharp insight and practical gems designed to help listeners evolve into the version of themselves that knows better and does better.

“If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes” will be available on the iHeartRadio app and all major podcast streaming platforms.

Additional iHeartPodcasts from the slate coming soon, including “Waking Up With Ryan” and “Free Therapy with Ben + Kevin,” emerging organically from iHeart’s founding partnership with The Lighthouse

NEW YORK – February 24, 2026 – iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced the first podcast developed through its unique creative partnership with The Lighthouse, the thriving creator campus launched by creator company Whalar Group. The new series — “The Spirit Daughter Podcast with Jill Wintersteen” — grew organically from iHeart’s collaboration with The Lighthouse, the first-ever creative campus and studio playground for the Creator Economy.

“The Spirit Daughter Podcast with Jill Wintersteen” is a twice-weekly astrology show hosted by a renowned lunar manifestation expert. Wintersteen, a sought-after celebrity astrologer and creator of the meditation app Moment, has cultivated a global community through seamlessly blending neuroscience and psychology with expertise in alignment-based yoga, Chinese medicine, and astrology. Launching February 24, “The Spirit Daughter Podcast” expands on Jill’s teachings as she guides listeners in creating extraordinary lives through the power of astrology and spirituality.

“The Lighthouse makes it effortless to bring my vision to life. From concept to creation, the experience has been unlike anything I’ve encountered as a creator. And, partnering with iHeartMedia means the teachings that have connected with millions online can now reach people in an entirely new way twice a week, wherever they are,” said Wintersteen.

Additional original wellness shows from the slate launching later this year will include:

• “Waking Up With Ryan,” offering listeners a bite-sized moment of grounding and clarity every morning—a daily practice to start the day well before the world takes over. Hosted by emotional intelligence coach, speaker, and spiritual guide Ryan Weiss, this short-form podcast is inspired by his widely loved daily email of the same name. Weiss has spent the last 15 years helping people navigate anxiety, overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection through emotional fitness and practical awakening tools. A former Broadway performer in Wicked, he brings a rare blend of depth, presence, and soul to everything he creates, meeting listeners exactly where they are and guiding them back to themselves. His work supports anyone who wants to feel steadier, kinder, and more connected as they move through their day—one morning at a time.

• "Free Therapy with Ben and Kevin," a mental health podcast delivering unfiltered conversations about the modern challenges men rarely talk about. Best friends Ben Teller and Kevin Hekmat bring on a rotating cast of top therapists to explore dating, relationships, codependency, family dynamics, masculinity, and the pressure to perform, emotionally and otherwise. Equal parts honest, funny, and deeply human, the show offers listeners a space to feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.

“The energy and originality coming out of The Lighthouse community have been remarkable,” said Greg Ashlock, President of the Influencer Network at iHeartMedia. “These shows showcase the core mission of our partnership with Whalar Group: to give rising voices the room to explore and develop ideas through connection, mentorship, and practical support.”

“The Lighthouse is a creative accelerator for original ideas, formats, and IP. Our partnership with iHeartMedia was formed because we shared a belief in supporting and developing the next wave of Creator talent. To be only months into opening and already developing three original shows with three very different Creators is proof of that model coming to life fast. It validates our view that the definition of a ‘Creator’ is expanding as media, entertainment, and the Creator Economy converge. And it shows how the right partners unlock opportunities for Creators,” said Jonathan Goss, CEO of The Lighthouse.

iHeartMedia and Whalar Group have hosted live recordings, workshops, and Q&As with senior leaders at The Lighthouse, where producers connected with creators who were inspired to pitch new audio concepts. The campus has also become a creative home for established talent, with podcasters including Sydnee Washington and Marie Faustin recording episodes of their hit weekly show “MESS with Sydnee Washington and Marie Faustin” on-site.

This inaugural slate marks the beginning of what both partners expect will result in dozens of creator-led podcasts distributed by iHeartPodcasts throughout 2026.
