ABOUT JIM MCCARTHY :

ABOUT JIM MCCARTHY: Jim McCarthy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Goldstar and the Co-Founder of Stellar. More than 10 million people go to Goldstar to discover live events nationwide. For nearly 20 years, Goldstar has been an essential marketing tool for 5,000 live entertainment organizers looking to find new audiences, increase revenue and sell out shows. When the COVID-19 crisis shut down the live entertainment industry in March 2020, Jim led the charge to develop Stellar, the first-ever Total Show Management System (TSM) to help producers create and sell high quality-live streaming events. In August 2020, Stellar started welcoming creators and audiences in beta. An e-commerce veteran, Jim has spent his entire career in high-growth businesses and freely shares his knowledge and insight with others.

 

He's the editor and main contributor to SellingOut.com, a website for live entertainment and arts marketers. He's the curator and co-founder of TEDxBroadway, the sold-out annual event dedicated to the question: What's the Best Broadway Can Be? He's spoken at conferences all over the world, including TED, SXSW, INTIX and more. His articles have been in Forbes, Fast Company and Business Insider. About Jim, Bob Lefsetz has said, "Jim McCarthy is smart, he'd win in any world, not only via his brain, but his hard work and dedication."

 

He's the organizer of the Pasadena Entrepreneurs' MasterMind Meetup, which Pasadena Business Now noted, "Jim McCarthy, CEO of Goldstar, discussed his personal philosophy of business and leadership. His stories of humanity and giving brought tears to many eyes and motivated all to do more for more. It was clear to all why Jim's MasterMind groups have a many-month waiting list to learn from him and his vision and insight." Jim is a very active member on the Board of Directors of the Pasadena Playhouse. He studied English at Harvard University and received an MBA at UCLA Anderson School of Management. Jim has a black belt in Northern Eagle Claw Kung Fu. And, he hosts a very popular podcast dedicated to his pursuit of great whiskey.
