Send us Fan Mail A career in music rarely starts with a corner office. It starts with showing up, carrying crates, putting in work for free, and finding a way to be useful before you’re “qualified.” We sit down with Mike Baro, CEO and founder of Remaking and a longtime music executive who worked his way from intern to VP across the Universal Music Group ecosystem, to unpack what that climb really looks like when the industry keeps reinventing itself. We talk through the real pivots: building...
Send us Fan Mail Your voice is the one thing you carry into every room, every pitch, every relationship, and most of us barely train it or even hear it clearly. We’re joined by Emmy nominated MC, host, and speaker John Di DeMonico, who shares the story behind one of the most surprising transformations we’ve heard: growing up with a severe speech impediment, spending years in speech therapy, and building a career on stage with voice, timing, and presence. We dig into the practical science of ...
Send us Fan Mail A broken Achilles, a brutal run of personal losses, and one decision to stop staying down changed everything for Las Vegas founder Paul Roberson. We talk with Paul about the moment his life “went left,” how he rebuilt his mindset through reading and reflection, and why resilience is not a slogan but a daily operating system for entrepreneurs and creators. Paul also takes us inside the environments that shaped his approach to culture and community, including time living in To...
Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to waste money on marketing is to expect every channel to behave like a “buy now” button. We sit down with Danny Calderin, owner of Total Entertainment and Total Marketing, to get real about outdoor advertising in Las Vegas, digital billboard trucks, and what ROI actually looks like when your goal is brand recall instead of instant clicks. His origin story is pure Vegas: one rented billboard truck to promote a music project, a light-bulb moment on the Strip, t...
Send us Fan Mail A Broadway kid from Ontario cold calls a team that doesn’t exist yet, helps sell Las Vegas on hockey, and ends up with a Stanley Cup ring. Then he gets a text from Triple H and becomes a WWE SmackDown ring announcer. That’s the kind of career path that only makes sense once you hear Mark Shunock, also known as Mark Nash, explain the through-line: preparation, presence, and service. We talk about what it’s really like being an in-arena host for the Vegas Golden Knights ...
Send us Fan Mail A recovery story is easy to applaud from a distance, but it sounds different when you hear the details from someone who lived it. We sit down with Brent Nowak, Director of Community Integration at Shine A Light Foundation, to talk about the real path from addiction and homelessness to stability, leadership, and service in Las Vegas. Brent shares what prison taught him, why he was more afraid of returning to the streets than returning to a cell, and how he finally got “broken ...
Send us Fan Mail A kid gets bullied at school, learns to protect himself, and ends up becoming the first Las Vegas boxer to win a world championship. That’s the arc Ishe “Sugar Shay” Smith brings to Vegas Circle, and he tells it with zero fluff and a lot of hard-earned clarity. We walk through his early years in the Vegas gyms where he’s surrounded by legends, the near-miss at the 1996 Olympic Trials, and the stretch where he steps away to live a little before a robbery at gunpoint resets hi...
Send us Fan Mail He went from a foreclosed first home to negotiating $20M-plus deals in the Las Vegas luxury real estate market and he didn’t get there by pretending it was easy. We sit down with Kamron, founder and CEO of Luxury Estates International (LEI), to unpack the setbacks that forced him to rebuild twice, the habits that kept him in the game, and the moments that reshaped his entire career trajectory. We get specific about what actually works when the market turns: how he move...
