We had the good fortune of connecting with Isaac Gordon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isaac, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
I don’t know if I have an end goal outside of the fact I’d like to own property on the west coast, settle down, nothing too crazy. Vacations would be nice! Maybe a child with my husband. I think the ultimate end goal for me is to have enough to live and to be able to help others. A professional end goal? I’m not sure that exists with my mindset. I tend to reach points where I go, “OK, that was fun, now what’s next!?” So, I don’t see an end goal professionally. Case and point, I thought I was stretching myself thin by adding Comedy to Breakpoint Booking. A year later, we are adding public speaking. It’s never ending growth.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
This coming August, Breakpoint Booking, a boutique talent agency representing developing, “breaking” and established talent in music and comedy, will add public speaking clients to its roster of talent. Speakers such as Ella Halikas, Iskra Lawrence and Juliette Brisman “A Heart Returned,” look to be early signees along with leadership expert and former United States Air Force F-15E Fighter Pilot Brandon Williams.

The company also added two new agents: Eman Hassan and Richard Jean-Jacques, to assist in heading up the new department with Isaac Gordon, agency owner. Eman previously served as an Artist Relations Manager for an entertainment company where she focused on being the liaison between the artist’s camp and music venues. She began her career working with Paramount (formerly ViacomCBS) and CMT. Richard spent time working overseas as a FIBA basketball agent scouting talent and is excited to bring his experience to his role as a talent agent. Eman and Richard also will work in the comedy department alongside agent Kara Coraci.

Regarding the company’s foray into the world of speakers bureaus, company founder Isaac Gordon had this to say, “When the pandemic hit and things shut down, I was recruited to work for a company called Advance Your Reach (AYR). During my time at AYR I learned a lot about what it takes for speakers to be successful. It’s not just about selling from stage or getting people to sign up for a subscription. It’s about speaking powerfully behind something you truly care about and believe in. With the launch of Breakpoint Booking’s new speaker agency I am excited to find and work with clients who portray this type of passion. I am also excited to work with both Eman and Richard in growing this new department.”

In coming months, expect Breakpoint Booking to recruit and sign more talent in the public speaking industry. “Eman and Richard have already begun working on expanding the rosters they inherited from the agency,” says Isaac Gordon. We are also consistently scouting for more comics who can do a full hour of standup. Demos or inquiries can be emailed to demos@breakpointbooking.com. The company reviews all submissions through that email address.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well I’d have to think about life from an LA perspective as that’s where I’m living. So, with that said… Malibu is probably my favorite spot. I love Point Mugu. I could also visit the new Malibu Wines location. My brother n law loves to shop so I’d probably take him out to Victoria Gardens or the outlets down in Camarillo after we hit Melrose and Beverly HIlls of course!

As for night life, I’m chill, so I like quiet bars like District Pub in NOHO or Mama’s shelter in Hollywood. I’m also a bike rider so I’d have to force some folks to check out the Chandler bike path in NOHO or we can ride from Venice up to Ginger Rogers along the ocean! That’s really my favorite thing to do in the city outside of hiking Runyan!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to shout out Advance Your Reach for recruiting me to join their stage agency during Covid. I learned a lot while working there and I was inspired, via some of the clients I had the opportunity to work with, to get into public speaking as an agent. AYR is based out of Colorado Springs but I worked for them remotely as a stage agent. The company helps people grow their businesses and spread their message through stages. The company’s mission is to impact 1 billion people across 9 sectors of influence over the next decade.

While there, I had the opportunity to work with CEOs, heads of industry, influencers, authors and more of the like along with a great team of individuals all pulling to help them grow their business.. It was a great learning experience that fit perfectly into my life while everything was shut down.
