About the Author
John Edmonds Kozma
CEO of Bang Productions | Author | Keynote Speaker | Podcast Host
John Edmonds Kozma brings over 20 years of experience as a prominent leader in the entertainment industry. He is the CEO and founder of Bang Productions, known for his expertise in early talent discovery, rapid audience expansion, and translating strategic plans into tangible results.
In 2016, John was the first producer to flip the comedy playbook by using social media as the primary engine for national success. He signed Darren Knight (aka Southern Momma) and accelerated his rise at a pace the comedy industry rarely sees — reaching the "Super Bowl of Comedy," Just For Laughs, in roughly two years. A milestone that often takes comedians a decade or more.
That momentum helped position Darren as one of the fastest-rising comedians in modern American comedy and proved that a comedy act could break nationally with social media leading the charge, setting a new benchmark that reshaped comedy in the digital era.
John hosts the Unimpressed Podcast, exploring the nonconscious aspects of human behavior and perception. His perspective, based on the idea of deep human connection through the Quantum Field, emphasizes reducing bias and expanding our understanding of life, identity, and meaning.
The Book
Finding A Perfect Audience
John authored "Finding A Perfect Audience: Cracking the Social Media Code" — a practical system for helping businesses build authentic, trust-based client relationships that endure. The book introduces the Energy of Motion system, a revolutionary approach to audience building that combines content strategy, data analysis, and an understanding of human behavior.
Rather than chasing vanity metrics, the book teaches readers how to attract and retain the right audience through authentic connection, strategic content creation, and emotional intelligence. It draws on John's real-world experience building audiences from zero to millions.
