Synopsis

“It’s time to follow the nagging voice that’s been tugging inside of you and chase ultimate happiness and the life you’ve always envisioned for yourself.”

Do you want to achieve your dreams and find your place in the world? Whether you are in a season of transition or starting a new chapter in life, author Whitney Holtzman wants you to know You Are The First You.  In her literary debut, Whitney writes about the lessons necessary to be successful in life and in business, but that we aren’t taught in school.

Follow the story of Whitney’s career in the sports marketing world as a female entrepreneur. Her journey has included stops at ESPN, Major League Baseball and VaynerMedia, working for entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk. Her passion is at the intersection of sports and making the world a better place, which was evidenced when she then joined RISE, which was founded by the owner of the Miami Dolphins. RISE is a racial equality nonprofit with the commissioner of every major sports league on the board.

Ultimately, Whitney became an entrepreneur and launched her own company, Social Victories, which helps professional athletes and sports leagues build their brands. Most importantly, You Are the First You is filled with all the essential lessons Whitney has learned throughout her journey that are key to a successful career and finding one’s purpose in life. Her goals in sharing her story are to provide readers with an unwavering belief in themselves and to motivate them to never give up on their dreams.
