About this listen

In this episode of At The Table w/ Greg & Elliott, we sit down with a special guest who also happens to be family — producer, on-camera talent, and creative force Amir Mathis. From growing up in the Mathis household to building a multi-platform entertainment career, Amir gives us an honest, funny, and inspiring look into what it really takes to make it in today’s shifting media landscape.

We talk about his work producing American Gangster: Trap Queens on BET+, lessons from working alongside icons like Steve Harvey, Tiffany Haddish, and Judge Greg Mathis, and what he’s learned from years behind the scenes in talk shows, true-crime storytelling, and reality television. Amir breaks down the real grind — pitching networks, developing shows, casting, managing chaos, navigating budget cuts, and the evolution of TV in the streaming era.

We also get into the creation of Mathis Family Matters, what the industry really looks for when buying a show, how to stand out as a young producer, and why execution matters more than ideas. And of course… plenty of family moments, jokes, and behind-the-scenes stories that only we could tell.

Later, we dive into Amir’s personal life — growth, love, emotional maturity, boundaries, and finding peace outside of the nonstop entertainment grind. It’s an honest, thoughtful, and uplifting conversation that gives you a deeper look at the man behind so many of your favorite projects.

If you’re interested in Hollywood, producing, true crime, family legacy, or the business of storytelling — this one is for you.
