A mezcal brand can be more than a label and a flavour profile. We’re joined by Alejandra Flores, president and owner of Mayu Mezcal, and her story hits on culture, craft, and a mission that reaches back to Oaxaca and forward to real community impact. She built Mayu to honour her Indigenous grandmother, a woman who never learned to read or write yet still became a fearless businesswoman and lifelong inspiration.

We get practical about what separates authentic mezcal from marketing: why organic mezcal certification matters, what “artisanal mezcal” actually means, and how espadin agave and production choices shape a spirit you sip slowly rather than shoot. Alejandra also breaks down mezcal vs tequila, from the regions and agave varieties to the traditional serving ritual with orange slices and sal de chapulín, the famous grasshopper salt from Oaxacan cuisine.

If you’re curious about entrepreneurship in the spirits industry, this conversation goes behind the curtain on licensing, distributors, and the relationship driven grind of getting bottles into bars, restaurants, casinos, and retailers like Total Wine. Alejandra shares what it’s like to be one of the few women mezcaleras, how she keeps momentum through slow growth, and why her long game includes a foundation to support elderly people and stray animals in Oaxaca.

A lot of artists want longevity, but few want the work that comes with it. We sit down with Arenbe Williams, a singer, songwriter, producer, and independent label founder, to get brutally practical about how you stay relevant for 20-plus years in a music industry that now changes month to month. Arenbe talks about coming from the album era, respecting the single era, and why evolving does not mean chasing every trend. If you care about real artistry, R&B culture, and building a career that lasts, this conversation hits home. 

We dig into the behind-the-scenes side of being independent: creative partnerships that keep you sharp, making music that can travel globally, and what it means to win without needing the usual trophies. Arenbe shares how songwriting for a major artist in Australia led to chart success, plus the mindset shift that “music is its own reward.” Then we go deeper into his Shreveport roots, regional culture, and how influence spreads in unexpected ways. 

The biggest reality check is for artists and entrepreneurs who rely too heavily on the internet. Arenbe explains why algorithm-chasing can leave you with numbers but no motion, and why real-world human connection is still the ultimate growth engine. That same approach powers his Las Vegas story: relationships as currency, moving a room through genuine community, and building Lifestyle Sundays into an all-R&B nostalgia experience people still talk about. We close with his simple rule for branding and business, don’t ever tone it down, plus what’s next for his upcoming album All My Heartbreaks.

Your training plan might be solid, your work ethic might be elite, and you still might be playing the wrong game for your body. Former UFC champion, entrepreneur, and mom Miesha Tate joins us on Vegas Circle Podcast and takes us from cage-level mindset to day-to-day life, starting with parenting in the real world: sports drop-offs, busy schedules, and the belief that our job is to challenge our kids and guide them through pressure, not remove it. 

From there, we get into what combat sports actually teach: problem-solving under stress, self-defence confidence, and the kind of calm posture and situational awareness that makes you a harder target in any environment. Miesha breaks down how she prepares mentally before a fight using visualisation, naming intrusive thoughts, and reframing fear toward what she can control. That same mental toughness shows up again when she talks about transitions, entrepreneurship, and why “safe is not where you grow.” 

Then the conversation goes deep on women’s health, female athlete training, and hormone cycles. We talk progesterone, the luteal phase, why weight cutting can hit women differently, and how training like a “male model” can lead to burnout, injury, and even amenorrhea. Miesha also shares how better communication at home changes everything and closes with hard-earned honesty about strength, vulnerability, and leaving toxic relationships when endurance turns into self-erasure. 

If you care about mindset, resilience, women’s hormone health, self-defence, and building a personal brand with integrity, you will get a lot from this one. Subscribe, share this with someone who trains hard, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you are applying this week.

Rent up, groceries up, wages stretched thin and somehow the “American Dream” keeps moving farther away. We sat down with Congressman Steven Horsford to talk about what that pressure looks like on the ground in Las Vegas and across Nevada’s 4th District, and what government can actually do when working families feel boxed in. He shares his own path from being raised here by an immigrant mother to leading major job training programs, then taking that fight for opportunity to Congress. 

We get specific about housing affordability in Southern Nevada: how institutional investors and corporate hedge funds can buy homes with cash, outbid first-time buyers and veterans, convert neighborhoods into high-rent portfolios, and leave communities paying the price. Horsford breaks down his role as a representative, including constituent services many people never realize exist, like helping with VA problems, cutting through federal bureaucracy, and pointing small business owners toward SBA resources and capital. 

The conversation also goes bigger than policy. We talk about the sacrifice and scrutiny of public office, why he calls this a moral moment, what accountability should look like even for the powerful, and how the legacy of leaders like Jesse Jackson connects voting rights to economic justice today. If you care about Las Vegas, Nevada politics, small business, or the housing market, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the one issue you want leaders to fix first.

Vegas can make a normal business model look impossible, and that’s why we wanted this conversation. We’re joined by Ed “Pizza” Pizzarello, a longtime Five Guys franchise owner and operator who went from four-diamond hospitality and consulting to helping open the third Five Guys franchise store back in 2002. He tells us what it felt like to bet on a small “cult burger” brand before it had the systems and scale it’s known for today, and what changes when a franchise grows into a global name.

Then we go full Las Vegas. Ed breaks down the thinking behind a true flagship Five Guys on the Strip near the Venetian, including what it takes to build a 10,000-square-foot destination with a bar, late-night energy, and menu ideas you won’t find back home. We talk boozy milkshakes, how alcohol changes shake texture, and why seasonal R&D matters when your brand promise is “fresh.” If you’re curious about restaurant tech, you’ll love the details on ordering kiosks loaded with 35 languages for international guests, plus the “Brand Ambassador” role that keeps service human and helps customers order the right amount.

We also get real about restaurant ownership: construction costs in Las Vegas, why an $8 million build can happen fast, and how a rare 50-50 joint venture with the Five Guys founding family changes the usual franchise fee structure. Along the way, Ed shares leadership lessons on culture, loyalty, and staying steady through lumpy demand tied to travel and big events.

The healthcare system feels expensive, confusing, and slow for a reason and Dr. Jade Norris isn’t afraid to say it out loud. We sit down with the founder and CEO of Inspire Primary Care in Las Vegas to talk about Direct Primary Care (DPC), a membership medicine model that skips the insurance middleman for most everyday needs and brings back what people actually want: time, access, and a real relationship with their primary care doctor.

We get specific about how DPC works, what a typical monthly membership costs, and why transparent pricing changes everything. Dr. Jade breaks down cash-pay labs and imaging, the hidden inflation inside insurance billing, and how people can keep insurance for the big stuff while using membership-based primary care for the 90% that happens under one roof. If you’ve ever been told to “go see three specialists” or waited months for approvals, this conversation will feel like someone finally translated the system into plain English.

Then we go beyond the business model. Dr. Jade shares what it took to open her practice straight from residency while eight weeks postpartum, how she learned entrepreneurship like an MBA at night, and why mentors matter. We also talk medical weight loss, obesity stigma, and GLP-1 medications through the lens of outcomes that matter like energy, sleep apnea, and chronic disease risk. To round it out, she reflects on Las Vegas as a medical desert, her children’s books (You Can Call Me Queen / King), and practical ways to protect your energy while building a big life.

We took “Beyond the Game” live, and the biggest theme that keeps showing up is simple: talent is common, structure is rare. So we brought in three people who’ve actually built systems around talent and turned it into careers, community, and ownership right here in Las Vegas and far beyond.

Morris Jackson breaks down how esports goes way past “kids playing video games.” We talk youth esports training, discipline, coaching, teamwork, and why the new third space for young people is digital. He shares how Valhalla builds an 18 month development pathway, why off screen learning matters as much as game time, and how branding and professionalism can make or break sponsorships. If you’ve ever wondered whether esports careers are real, this conversation puts numbers, process, and accountability behind it.

Ricardo Laguna connects BMX risk to entrepreneurship, networking, and investing. He gets real about failing fast, protecting your time, and why some “easy” businesses cost more than money. Then Ron “The American Dream” Johnson brings the boxing promoter perspective: how he learned discipline early, what influencer boxing changes for the sport, and why athletes have to stop chasing relevance and start building ownership. We close with a message on unity, respect, and building something that lasts.

Justice doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built on preparation, clarity, and access. We sit with Judge Joanna Kishner, a lifelong Nevadan and veteran district court judge, to unpack how Las Vegas handles business court disputes, construction defect claims, and the everyday civil cases that shape our city’s growth. From the first filing to appeals, she explains how disciplined reading, careful analysis, and open hearings produce decisions people can trust.

We dig into the realities behind the robe: what a district judge actually does, how trials and motions differ, and why volunteer settlement conferences often save litigants years of time and money. Joanna breaks down Nevada’s evolving legal landscape—where precedent is still maturing—and how judges adapt by drawing smart analogies from other jurisdictions. She shares candid insights on jurisdiction battles, complex multi-party matters, and the sheer diligence it takes to manage thousands of pages without losing the thread of fairness.

Entrepreneurs get clear, actionable advice. Handshakes aren’t enough. Define ownership and roles, write operating agreements, track orders and changes, and know your timelines because statutes of limitations can make or break a case. “Good” lawyers are the ones who prepare and advocate clearly, regardless of seniority. We also talk about jury duty as a civic education, mentoring and community work at Boyd Law, and the importance of pro bono service to support neighbors across Clark County. This is a grounded, human look at how courts protect consumers and businesses while strengthening a fast-growing city.

What happens when you take a beloved sneaker, dissect it with surgical care, and present it like a museum specimen? We sat down with Al Baker, the artist behind Deadstock Anatomies, to unpack how an entomology display at home inspired a breakout art form that sneakerheads, athletes, and brands can’t stop talking about. From a carefully pared-back booth at ComplexCon to commissions for high-profile clients, Al shows us why restraint and intention can draw bigger crowds than flashy builds ever could.

Al breaks down the craft with clarity. Some silhouettes like the Jordan 1 come apart cleanly, but modern foams and rubbers fight back, forcing slow, blade-by-blade work to preserve both sole and upper. That discipline protects the shoe’s story while creating a striking frame that reveals design lines, textures, and engineering choices. He talks authenticity checks, why he refuses to work with replicas, and what it feels like to cut into a $12,000 grail without flinching. We also get the origin story: years of sketching sneakers as a kid, a detour through competitive billiards that taught focus, and a move to Las Vegas for outdoor access and a rising arts scene.

We cover growth, too: scaling from single-shoe frames to multi-pair pieces, navigating the business basics, and the dream of a future collaboration with a major brand. Al shares a grounded take on AI—useful for research and light marketing, but no replacement for the tactile honesty of hand-built art. Along the way we spotlight Vegas culture, from the Arts District to food gems worth a detour, and the idea of a gallery model that lowers the barrier for new artists.

If you care about sneakers, design, or building something original in a noisy world, this one’s for you. Follow Deadstock Anatomies for the latest builds, then tell us which silhouette you’d want framed next.

The best meals start with trust, and few dining styles embody that more than omakase—“leave it up to you.” We sit with James, the force behind Kase Sake Sushi, to unpack how he translated two decades in hospitality and a stint as a DJ into a neighborhood sushi bar that delivers traditional technique, razor-sharp sourcing, and an approachable price point. If you’ve wondered how to enjoy pristine nigiri without the $300 shock, or how a restaurant maintains freshness in the desert, this conversation delivers the playbook.

James breaks down his casual omakase approach: a core lineup of 16–18 fish, rotating weekly Japanese specials, and set menus that expose guests to variety instead of repetition. We get into his trip to Japan and why Kase’s sushi tasted strikingly familiar there—because the methods were already traditional. He opens up about sake as a world as rich as wine (and brewed more like beer), and how their tasting dinners turn education into unforgettable pairings and loyal regulars.

Beyond the food, we talk entrepreneurship and the realities of running a restaurant in Las Vegas. James shares the operations behind daily freshness, the discipline of ordering whole fish, and the power of margins and organic marketing. He also wears his mortgage-lending hat to talk Vegas housing affordability, timing purchases, and why “marry the house, date the rate” still resonates when done responsibly. The through-line is mindset: know your why, stop comparing, and show up every day.

Hungry for a new off-strip favorite or curious about building a brand on passion and precision? Hear how Kase balances tradition and value, and why this city’s food scene keeps pushing past the strip. If you enjoy the show, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what should James serve on the next sake pairing dinner?

What does it take to turn a late-night hustle into a stadium-ready brand? We sit down with Steve Phillips, owner of Mr. Fries Man Las Vegas, to pull back the curtain on a journey powered by street marketing, credit smarts, and unapologetic belief. From LA catering to a Flamingo storefront to a coveted concession at Allegiant Stadium, Steve shows how grit and quality can beat perfect timing—and how one pitcher of Kool-Aid can win a room full of decision-makers.

We get honest about the real math of stadium deals: why section placement is pure real estate, how event mix affects margin, and the inventory traps that can push a small operator into the red if crowds get shuffled to lower levels. Steve walks through his game-day prep, the 7:30 a.m. starts, and the variable staffing that keeps service tight when doors open. Then we tackle delivery. Fries don’t travel well, so he enforces a three-mile radius to protect quality and reviews. Not all money is good money; sometimes the best marketing is saying no to orders that hurt the brand.

The conversation widens to life insurance and family security. Steve lays out practical guidance on term coverage for young parents, when an IUL makes sense, and why he refuses to sell policies that clients can’t sustain. We also explore Vegas nightlife from the inside—late headline sets, free-entry shifts, and how clubs lean on bar revenue. Through it all, Steve’s theme is consistent: believe to a “delusional” degree, set clear boundaries when hiring friends, and stack small operational edges until they become momentum.

We close with what’s next: a sports bar concept that pairs fries, wings, and screens; and a nonprofit plan that connects at-risk teens to paid kitchen work and trade certifications in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. It’s business with a backbone—profitable, community-forward, and built to last. If this story moves you, follow, share with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review to help more builders find the show.

A friend hits play in a car and everything changes. That’s how Yada first landed on Rick Ross’s radar, and it’s where this story of independent moves, relentless output, and Vegas grit really begins. We sit down to unpack how a Maybach co-sign became a mandate to own his path, why he built a 600-song catalog without chasing gimmicks, and how being blacklisted from local venues pushed him to write, finance, and star in his own films.

We dig into the real mechanics of momentum: relationships that turn features into friendships, the lesson learned from paying for a verse once, and the quiet patience required to survive the “nobody cares yet” phase. Yada breaks down Mustard’s place as a West Coast legend, his Bay Area-heavy influences, and the difference in energy he feels as an actor compared to a rapper. The film play comes alive through Loyalty Over Trust—rooted in loyalty, betrayal, and karma—and extends to his new suspense project Smoke and Mirrors, headed to Amazon and Tubi. He explains why he casts actors over rappers, how financing shapes creative control, and why he’s determined to shoot in Vegas, where access is unmatched.

Beyond the studio and set, we explore discipline and mindset. Yada credits jiu-jitsu for patience, presence, and two national golds, and he doesn’t shy from hard takes on AI: useful as a tool, dangerous as a creativity eraser. We also tackle streaming economics, the tradeoffs between reach and revenue, and the ownership mindset that keeps artists afloat. Bonus: his favorite Vegas vegan spots, including Down To Earth and Prones and Plants, because fueling the grind matters.

If you’re building in music, film, or any creative lane, this conversation is a field guide to staying independent, choosing relationships over optics, and letting your catalog do the talking. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs the push, and drop a review with your biggest takeaway.

A working trip to Mexico City turned into a bold idea: serve the soul of Mexican food with plant-based craft so good that non-vegans line up for it. We sit down with co-owner Regina Simmons to trace how Tacotarian grew from a teased opening to six busy locations across Las Vegas and San Diego, all while keeping flavor first and labels second.

Regina breaks down the playbook: position as plant-based to lower the barrier, design a menu that delights both meat-memory seekers and veg-forward purists, and build a commissary that safeguards consistency, controls food cost, and cuts waste. From seitan techniques for carne asada and al pastor to jackfruit birria that holds its own, every item is engineered to taste right before it reads right. That approach fuels a surprising stat—about 70% of guests aren’t vegan—and that’s exactly the point.

We also get into the real engine behind the brand’s momentum: community-first marketing, roles with clear ownership, and a service culture that empowers fixes in the moment. Regina shares how Good Morning Kitchen leverages a second-generation space with breakfast, cocktails, and nighttime commissary production, why franchising starts close to home, and how distributor alignment and ingredient parity shape expansion. Plus, a look at their growing retail line bringing birria and barbacoa jackfruit to grocery shelves. It’s a masterclass in building a resilient restaurant brand in a tough market: lead with flavor, scale with systems, and earn trust one guest at a time.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or patched up with a prescription that didn’t solve the problem, this conversation will feel like a deep breath. We sit down with Kelly Nemiro to unpack how she’s building Rhea, a women-only wellness space in Summerlin that starts with data and ends with real relief. No guesswork, no generic plans—just diagnostics, smart coaching, and the right mix of treatments to help women sleep better, think clearer, and feel like themselves again.

Kelly takes us inside the model: breath tests for metabolic health, blood and stool panels, and adrenal stress testing that inform a credits-based plan for IV therapy, acupuncture, colonics, massage, low-impact fitness, Reiki, and guided meditation. We talk about daily realities too—why a women-only environment creates a calmer, more focused place to heal; how a hybrid approach blends at-home convenience with the connection of in-person classes; and the messy, unglamorous work of licensing, hiring, and building a multidisciplinary team in Las Vegas.

Hormones are the throughline. From thyroid slowdowns and insulin resistance to progesterone dips that wreck sleep, Kelly explains what to test, what to watch, and how targeted support pairs with sustainable lifestyle changes. We get practical on habit formation—the one-thing rule for 30 days beats all-or-nothing sprints—and we tackle diet myths with a simple frame: protein and healthy fats build hormones, steady carbs fuel the brain, and strength training won’t “bulk” women. Along the way, Kelly shares hard-won business lessons on burnout, trusting your gut, and hiring for your blind spots, plus honest talk about routines, support systems, and finding balance through community work.

Forget the cliché of “student-athlete.” These founders flipped the order for real. We sat down with the team behind Game Changers Sports Academy to unpack how a bootstrapped vision became a rigorous school where a 3.0 GPA is the ticket to train, block schedules fight boredom, and phones go in a cart so attention can come back to class. They call the transcript “life insurance,” and their model proves why: small ratios, direct instruction, and accredited online platforms combine to meet kids where they are and push them where they can go.

We walk through the system end to end: interviews that require students to read their essays aloud, uniforms that cut status games, and real-time dashboards that trigger instant academic interventions. When progress slips, training stops. When mindset wobbles, coaches treat it like any muscle—trainable through standards, language, and reps. Their “isms” stick: hard work isn’t punishment, it’s payment; opportunities don’t vanish, they pass to someone prepared. The result is tangible—early graduates, rising GPAs, Division I opportunities, and quieter wins like a sixth grader who finally believes he can.

This is Las Vegas education with an edge: people-first, purpose-driven, and built for the reality of modern youth sports and NIL-era pressures. The founders share plans connected to the Hilo project in North Las Vegas, painting an Olympic-village vision where elite training lives beside focused classrooms. They’re not trying to out-glitz anyone. They’re proving that structure, mentorship, and accountability still outperform hype. If you care about youth development, performance coaching, or how schools can actually hold attention, you’ll feel the energy—and maybe borrow a few policies for your own home or team.

If this conversation challenged your thinking, follow the show, share it with a parent or coach, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find it.

What if youth esports had the same structure, safety, and upward path as Little League or AAU? We sit down with Valhallan Esports’ Morris Jackson to unpack how he went from owning a single arena to acquiring the entire brand and relocating HQ to Las Vegas—transforming a scattered scene into a true pipeline for kids, parents, schools, and colleges. From 23 locations across 12 states to an online platform that removes geography as a barrier, Morris lays out a plan to make Valhallan a destination where young gamers train, compete, and grow with purpose.

We get practical about what parents really want to know: how to keep kids safe, how to make gaming productive, and how to navigate a space that now includes scholarships and academic tracks. Morris connects specific games to real skills—Rainbow Six Siege to cybersecurity, Minecraft to engineering and systems thinking—and explains how monitored communities, age tiers, and coaching turn screen time into skill time. We also explore how colleges like Boise State and Syracuse are investing, why UNLV’s Cyber Week matters, and how scholarships are expanding fast.

Las Vegas emerges as the perfect hub: HyperX Arena, global access, and a city that embraces innovation. Morris shares why Valhallan is moving to a corporate‑led model for consistency and quality, how online demand will guide future arena placements, and why this youth‑first focus can capture meaningful share in a $500B ecosystem. He closes with candid, hard‑won advice for entrepreneurs about stretching beyond comfort zones and refusing to let fear set the limits. If you care about kids, education, esports, or building a brand with real community impact, this conversation will stick.

What does it take to transform your life after hitting rock bottom? Chef Jeff Henderson knows firsthand. His journey from South Central LA drug dealer to award-winning chef, bestselling author, and youth mentor is a masterclass in personal reinvention and the power of redirected hustle.

Growing up in a single-parent home, Jeff absorbed entrepreneurial traits from family members who modeled hard work without formal business education. As a curious child riding the school bus through wealthy neighborhoods, he pressed his face against the window, dreaming of one day owning a beautiful home with a white picket fence. This early exposure to economic disparity planted seeds of ambition that would drive him throughout his life—though initially down a destructive path.

When crack cocaine flooded his community in the early 1980s, Jeff saw an opportunity to achieve his American Dream through illegal means. By 19, he had become a millionaire drug dealer with custom cars and a three-story house. But the law eventually caught up with him, resulting in nearly ten years in federal prison. Rather than becoming bitter, Jeff used this time to transform himself through education, reading voraciously and learning from the white-collar criminals around him. Most crucially, he discovered cooking in the prison kitchen, which became his pathway to legitimate success.

After his release, Jeff strategically worked his way up from dishwasher to executive chef in elite restaurants, eventually becoming the first Black executive chef at Caesar's Palace. His remarkable story caught media attention, leading to appearances on Oprah, a book deal, a movie deal with Will Smith, and multiple Food Network shows. Today, through The Chef Jeff Project, he mentors at-risk youth using culinary arts to teach leadership and life skills—passing forward the second chance he received.

Jeff's concept of "hustlepreneurship" perfectly encapsulates his philosophy: you don't need to change your hustle, just change your product. His story resonates because it proves that with grit, strategic thinking, and willingness to learn, anyone can transform their life regardless of their past. Ready to be inspired by the raw truth of one man's remarkable journey? Listen now.

Forget everything you thought you knew about making it in music. Abdullah "Dulamite" Franklin pulls back the curtain on an industry built on smoke and mirrors, revealing why artists with millions of streams can still be broke while those you've never heard of are quietly building empires.

"A billion streams on Spotify equals fourteen thousand dollars," Franklin explains, cutting through the fantasy that streaming success equals financial freedom. As a rapper, songwriter, and entrepreneur who's written for some of the biggest names in music (though NDAs prevent him from naming most), he's navigated both the spotlight and the shadows of an industry that often exploits creative talent.

Growing up as a Sunni Muslim in Las Vegas shaped Franklin's perspective as "an acquired taste" – someone unwilling to compromise authenticity for acceptance. From watching his brother get lyrically "murdered" in a neighborhood battle that inspired his own rap career, to facing religious stereotypes and industry blackballing after an altercation with a well-connected artist, his path has been anything but conventional.

What sets Franklin apart is his business acumen. While many artists chase streams and social media followers, he's built a direct-to-consumer model that puts him in control of his data and dollars. "If somebody buys my album for $1, I got the 1,500 streams," he explains, but more importantly, "I know exactly who bought it, what city they're in. I get their email address, their phone number." This intelligence has allowed him to tour strategically in cities where his true fans live, not where streaming algorithms suggest.

Beyond music, Franklin has diversified into beverage brands, clothing, and acting – embodying his "renaissance man" approach to creative entrepreneurship. His parting wisdom? "Let God be God, you do the rest" and "The decisions you make determine your destiny." For anyone looking to build something meaningful in a world of fleeting viral moments, this conversation is essential listening.

What does it mean to lose everything and find your way back? Rob Banghart's journey from addiction to redemption takes us through the darkest corners of Las Vegas—literally beneath the glittering city where few tourists ever venture.

Rob shares his raw, unflinching story of how alcoholism and addiction led him from working in prestigious restaurants under Wolfgang Puck to living in the vast tunnel system beneath Las Vegas. For five years, homelessness was his reality, with two and a half of those years spent in what he calls "a physical representation of a mental state"—the darkness of the tunnels mirroring his internal struggles. The details are haunting: tunnel hierarchies, survival tactics, and the moment-to-moment existence of addiction.

The turning point came through violence and near-death. After being attacked, left for dead on train tracks, and experiencing multiple clinical deaths, Rob found an unexpected spiritual awakening that catalyzed his recovery. What followed was not just personal healing but a calling to return to those same tunnels—this time as an outreach worker with Shine a Light Foundation.

Now as VP of Communication Integration, Rob leads teams into the tunnels every Saturday, offering not just supplies but genuine human connection. He explains the foundation's innovative iPath program that provides an 18-month continuous support system for those ready to leave homelessness behind. His perspective challenges our assumptions: "70% of Americans live one critical incident away from homelessness," he notes, reminding us this crisis touches every demographic.

Rob's most powerful message comes wrapped in humility: "The bravest thing I ever did was ask for help." His story isn't just about personal redemption but about building community through servant leadership and creating pathways for others to find their way home. Listen and discover how connection, compassion, and continuous support are transforming lives beneath Vegas.

From swap meet hustler to multi-industry entrepreneur, Laquan "YP" Hunt represents the relentless spirit of Vegas beyond the neon lights. As co-founder of Certify Avenue, his journey exemplifies how authentic hometown connections can fuel diverse business ventures in an evolving city.

Hunt's entrepreneurial path began with a $20,000 investment at a local swap meet in 2014, selling t-shirts branded with the "CH" logo from his former music group, Certified Hustlers. This humble start blossomed into four brick-and-mortar locations, with his current flagship store strategically positioned in Town Square Las Vegas. Rather than following traditional retail models, Hunt transformed his stores into Instagram-worthy spaces designed for content creation – a shrewd adaptation to today's social media-driven consumer culture.

What truly distinguishes Hunt's business approach is his seamless diversification across industries. While maintaining his clothing brand, he launched Certify Films Home Entertainment, producing "The SHOT Series" – powerful documentaries featuring survivors of gun violence that have garnered over a million views on streaming platforms. Not content with conquering just fashion and film, Hunt recently entered the notoriously competitive spirits industry with "Lie by You" vodka, currently available at select Vegas locations with ambitions for casino distribution.

Hunt's timing couldn't be better as Las Vegas transforms into what many call "Hollywood 2.0." As a native Las Vegan with deep community roots, he possesses the authentic connections that outside entrepreneurs can't replicate. "Vegas is about to be crazy in the next five years," Hunt predicts, positioning himself at the forefront of this evolution with upcoming projects including feature films and international documentaries.

For aspiring entrepreneurs watching Hunt's remarkable journey unfold, his advice remains refreshingly direct: "Just start." In a city known for reinvention, Laquan Hunt embodies the next generation of Vegas success stories – proving that sometimes the most valuable cards to hold are hometown knowledge, creative vision, and the courage to place your bet on yourself.

Dive into the mind of a multi-industry entrepreneur as Zachary King reveals how he built his business empire spanning fashion, restaurants, and candy. From getting Tom Brady to wear his Residency clothing line to managing a restaurant portfolio that includes concepts like Cubana and Earth Cafe, King demonstrates remarkable versatility while sharing the psychology behind his success.

What makes King's approach unique is his deep understanding of customer behavior and his emphasis on relationship-building over immediate profits. "Rich people love free stuff. Everybody likes to be thought of," he explains, detailing how he strategically positions his products with celebrities by first understanding their needs and preferences. This approach has garnered his clothing line endorsements from major names like Lil Wayne, Swiss Beats, and numerous professional athletes.

King offers candid insights about the entrepreneurial journey, likening it to the movie Jumanji—a never-ending series of challenges where "as soon as you beat the monkeys, here come the bees." He emphasizes the importance of starting early, finding your passion, and understanding the personal sacrifices required for success. Most valuably, he shares his concept of "ROR—Return on Relationship," explaining how sometimes giving without immediate expectation leads to the biggest opportunities.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or an established business owner, King's story demonstrates how authentic connections, psychological insight, and relentless hustle can turn seemingly unrelated opportunities into a cohesive ecosystem of successful ventures.

What does it take to emerge from the shadow of a music legend and create your own path? In this compelling episode, we sit down with Teddy Riley Jr., better known as Yung Tash, who's blazing his own trail in the music industry while honoring the legacy of his father, new jack swing innovator Teddy Riley.

Yung Tosh takes us through his fascinating journey from Atlanta's vibrant music scene to Las Vegas, where he's established himself as both a respected DJ and emerging recording artist. Despite his famous lineage, Tash shares how his father instilled the value of independence early on: "My pops taught me young, you gotta get it on your own. You're going to appreciate what you have more if you work for it by yourself." This ethos has clearly shaped his approach to the music business.

The conversation reveals Tash's strategic career development – starting as a producer creating beats for artists like G Herbo and K Camp, then leveraging DJing to network within Vegas' entertainment scene when he was too young to experience the nightlife. His insights on testing new music directly with club audiences showcase a savvy understanding of artistic development: "Does this make a girl who's 21, who having her birthday, does it make her move at 12 o'clock at night? If it does, I know I got something."

We explore the challenges Vegas faces in developing homegrown musical talent compared to cities like Atlanta, where the industry connections run deep. Young Tash offers thoughtful perspectives on music ownership, the modern streaming landscape, and balancing creativity with business acumen. His observations on staying authentic in an industry full of "fake individuals" reveals wisdom beyond his years: "Stay in your realm of people you know, the people that you started out with."

Don't miss Young Tash's breakdown of his new single "Saint" and details about his upcoming album featuring collaborations with Trey Songz and his father. Follow Young Tash on social media to catch his next DJ set or release, and experience the sound of an artist who's honoring his roots while defining his own future.

Ever wondered what really happens during a vasectomy? Or why that morning coffee might be setting you up for kidney stones? Dr. David Ludlow pulls back the curtain on men's health topics most guys are too uncomfortable to discuss.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be" – the phrase Dr. Ludlow hears so often from vasectomy patients that he jokes about putting it on t-shirts. In this eye-opening conversation, he dispels common myths about men's health procedures that keep many from seeking necessary care. From explaining how robotic surgery works (no, the robot isn't performing surgery while the doctor takes a coffee break) to clarifying that vasectomies won't affect your ability to perform or enjoy sex, Dr. Ludlow addresses the concerns men rarely voice but frequently worry about.

The discussion ventures into surprising territory, revealing how our modern lifestyle impacts urological health in unexpected ways. Those energy drinks you're chugging for hydration? They're actually dehydrating you. That Western diet with processed foods? It might explain why African-Americans have higher prostate cancer rates than native Africans. Even excessive pornography consumption gets examined for its potential physical (not just psychological) impacts on sexual function – a topic rarely addressed in medical discussions but increasingly relevant as Dr. Ludlow sees young patients with dysfunction issues that shouldn't typically affect their age group.

Whether you're approaching the age for prostate screening, considering a vasectomy, or simply want to understand how to maintain optimal urological health, this conversation delivers practical insights without the embarrassment of the exam room. Listen now to hear from the doctor who's seen it all and isn't afraid to talk about it – your body will thank you.

How do you solve America's housing crisis? For Galiano Tiramani, co-founder of Boxable, the answer lies in completely reimagining how homes are built, shipped, and installed.

The journey from Bitcoin trader to housing revolutionary isn't an obvious career path, but Tiramani's entrepreneurial instincts led him to partner with his engineer father to develop a groundbreaking concept: houses manufactured on assembly lines that fold up for shipping, then expand on-site for quick installation. Their flagship product, the Casita, offers 360 square feet of modern living space for just $60,000, while their newest innovation—the Baby Box—provides essential housing for an astonishing $20,000.

What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is Tiramani's candid discussion of the regulatory obstacles that have historically prevented housing innovation. From city councilmen personally blocking affordable housing projects to the federal government holding vast empty lands surrounding Las Vegas hostage, the artificial barriers to solving the housing crisis become painfully clear. Yet Boxable persists, navigating state-by-state approvals and building a nationwide dealer network.

The manufacturing insights alone are worth your time—Tiramani explains how applying automotive production methods to housing creates precision, quality control, and economies of scale impossible with traditional construction. The Baby Box's ingenious design as a permanent RV circumvents countless regulations, connecting to utilities with nothing more complicated than a garden hose and extension cord.

With 170,000 people on their waitlist and factories operating in North Las Vegas, Boxable represents one of the most promising solutions to America's housing challenges. Whether you're a potential homebuyer, investor, or simply concerned about housing affordability, this episode offers a compelling vision of how innovation might finally break through in this essential industry.

Listen now to discover how persistence and creative problem-solving could transform housing accessibility for millions of Americans, and consider: could factory-built housing be the future we've been waiting for?

What happens when two successful business leaders decide to channel their skills toward helping America's military veterans? Frank Fertitta IV and Landon Gyulay reveal the powerful story behind founding Easy Day Foundation, an organization determined to make every day easier for those who've served our country.

The name "Easy Day" comes from a Navy SEAL expression, but carries a deeper meaning. As Frank explains, "The easy days should be ahead for these guys, not behind them." This sentiment drives their mission to support veterans transitioning back to civilian life—a journey that's anything but easy for many who've served.

Both founders share deeply personal connections to military service through their WWII veteran grandfathers. Frank recounts how his grandfather bombed Berlin on his 21st birthday, while Landon reflects on growing up "as far away from enemy front lines as possible" thanks to others' sacrifice. These stories, combined with alarming statistics—17 veteran suicides daily and over 35,000 homeless veterans—compelled them to act.

Rather than duplicating existing services, Easy Day Foundation focuses on what these business minds do best: creating high-impact events that raise both awareness and substantial funds. Their partnership with the American Music Awards for a Memorial Day broadcast represents this strategy in action. Every dollar donated during the telecast will flow directly to their carefully selected partner organizations, creating a comprehensive support network for veterans.

"There are days when it's a huge pain to run a 501(c)(3)," Frank admits, "but then you meet someone like Lisa Hallett—a Gold Star widow raising three children after losing her husband on a humanitarian mission—and you remember exactly why we're doing this."

Want to make a difference in veterans' lives? Join the movement by watching the American Music Awards on May 26th, visiting easydayorg to donate, or following @EasyDayFoundation to learn how you can help ensure those who served have easier days ahead.

Behind every successful restaurant lies a story of grit, determination, and unwavering passion. Zach Tolan's journey from teenage dishwasher to celebrated chef-entrepreneur perfectly captures this spirit of culinary perseverance.

The founder of Vanilla Rice Hibachi House began his culinary career at just 15 years old, washing dishes alongside his 12-year-old brother for cash under the table. What started as a simple way to earn money transformed into something much more profound when a manager's dismissive words—"dishwashers don't get raises"—lit a fire within young Zach. Those words, now the title of his forthcoming book, became the catalyst for his entrepreneurial journey.

As Zach developed his hibachi cooking skills, he discovered something unexpected: his natural talent for entertainment. Working at a traditional hibachi restaurant, he became so popular that he'd receive up to 30 requests per night from guests specifically asking for "that white guy" to cook for them. Yet amidst the onion volcanoes and flaming showmanship, Zach noticed something curious—his friends who visited frequently would eventually say, "Bro, just cook the food. We don't need the show." This insight sparked the innovative concept behind Vanilla Rice: delicious hibachi cuisine without forcing customers to sit with strangers or endure unwanted theatrics.

Zach's approach to business challenges reveals his fighter's mentality: "I look at business as a boxing match. Every day I wake up, I'm gonna get swung at. Have I been swung at like this before? Do I know how to counter it?" This resilient perspective, coupled with unique training methods where he teaches cooks from scratch rather than hiring experienced chefs, has propelled Vanilla Rice toward his ultimate goal—building a national brand that stands alongside giants like Chipotle and McDonald's.

What began in his mother's backyard has evolved into a thriving multimillion-dollar operation, with expansion plans already underway. As Zach says with confidence, "We've already done the hardest part." Follow @VanillaRiceLV on social media to watch this culinary underdog story continue to unfold. Are you ready to experience hibachi reimagined?

Visionary entrepreneur Philippe Ziade takes us deep into the revolutionary world of AI-powered hospitality with his groundbreaking Otonomus hotel concept, set to open in Las Vegas on July 1st. This episode unveils how technology is fundamentally transforming guest experiences while creating unprecedented value for real estate developers.

Philippe's journey from Lebanese immigrant studying engineering at UNLV to innovative developer illustrates the quintessential American success story. After starting with a marble company working on the Palms Casino, he navigated the 2008 financial crisis by pivoting to distressed properties, where operational challenges led him to develop technological solutions. Those early innovations eventually evolved into the sophisticated AI systems powering Otonomus.

What makes Otonomus revolutionary? Picture a property where guests specify exactly what they want—from room configuration to service preferences—and AI puzzles it together in real time. Through what Philippe calls "digital avatars," the system learns each guest's preferences, creating increasingly personalized experiences with every interaction. Imagine walking into a hotel room that already knows your preferred temperature, lighting, and amenities before you even arrive.

Despite the technological sophistication, Philippe emphasizes that Otonomus isn't about replacing humans but enhancing them. "We're in the augmented era," he explains, where digital systems extend our capabilities while preserving the irreplaceable human elements of hospitality. This philosophy extends to Otonomus dining offerings, including Nyla, an elevated Lebanese restaurant named after Philippe's mother.

Beyond Otonomus, Philippe shares his ambitious vision for Las Vegas's evolution into a true global metropolis with branded residential towers, financial districts, and cultural centers. His perspective on Vegas as a blank canvas for innovation will inspire anyone passionate about urban development and the city's unlimited potential.

Listen now to discover how the intersection of real estate, technology, and hospitality is creating the future of travel experiences. Whether you're a technology enthusiast, hospitality professional, or simply curious about how AI is reshaping our world, Philippe's insights will transform how you think about your next hotel stay.

Attorney Meesha Moulton takes us on her remarkable journey from Toronto to Las Vegas, where she built a thriving immigration and personal injury law practice from humble beginnings. With only $3,000 in her pocket after law school, Misha stayed at a budget motel on Boulder Highway while studying for the Nevada bar exam – a far cry from the successful law firm she would eventually establish.

The conversation delves deep into the current immigration landscape, with Moulton offering nuanced insights that cut through political rhetoric. She explains how recent policies have effectively criminalized undocumented status itself, creating widespread fear even among those with straightforward paths to legal residency. "These are not kidnappers and murderers," Moulton emphasizes, highlighting how media coverage often fails to capture the reality that most immigrants are simply seeking better opportunities and deserve due process.

For those navigating personal injury cases, Moulton reveals the inner workings of the legal process – from initial consultations to settlement negotiations with insurance companies. She shares practical advice like the value of dash cams as evidence (though she humorously notes they're "not great when you're at fault") and explains how her firm approaches case selection with an emphasis on client service over volume.

Beyond legal insights, Moulton offers powerful business wisdom, identifying overthinking as "one of the biggest culprits of why people don't actually pursue what they're passionate about." Her personal philosophy minimizes the time between idea and execution, focusing instead on disciplined implementation. As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, she acknowledges the ongoing challenges but approaches them with determination rather than discouragement.

Ever wonder how someone transforms from running teenage house parties to building a mobility scooter empire in Las Vegas? Shaun Powell's entrepreneurial journey is a masterclass in recognizing opportunity and building systems that create freedom.

Four years after his first appearance on the Vegas Circle Podcast, Shaun returns with an entirely new business venture and vision. As the founder of Vegas Mobility Solutions, he's carved out a successful niche providing medical equipment to tourists visiting the Strip, but that's just one chapter in his remarkable story.

Shaun's entrepreneurial spirit emerged early, starting with a job at Quizno's at age 12 (yes, he lied about his age) and evolving into organizing entertainment events in high school that drew crowds of 500-1,000 people. His natural networking abilities connected him with now-famous artists like Brent Faiyaz while his clothing brand Cash Cartel and entertainment ventures created opportunities most teenagers couldn't imagine.

What makes Shaun's approach unique is his systematic thinking. Self-described as "the most productive lazy person," he transforms potential limitations into strengths by creating efficient systems that allow his businesses to run smoothly whether he's present or not. This approach gives him the freedom to be fully present for his daughter Friday through Monday while still growing multiple businesses.

The conversation takes an exciting turn when Shaun reveals his next venture – developing a luxury resort just an hour outside Las Vegas. His vision for an "oasis" experience that serves both tourists and locals looking for a nearby escape demonstrates his gift for identifying market gaps and creating solutions.

What does it take to build mental toughness in professional athletes? Deon Hodges pulls back the curtain on the world of elite sports performance training in this eye-opening conversation.

As a partner at AI Hospitality and leader of their IBI performance facility in Las Vegas, Hodges has carved out a unique space in the competitive fitness landscape by focusing on substance over flash. "We're not magnifying the 'look at me' aspect," he explains, distinguishing his approach from the Instagram-ready workouts that dominate social media. His facility has become a destination for NFL, NBA, UFC, and WNBA athletes seeking serious training in a city known for distractions.

Hodges' journey into exercise science began with personal adversity when he tore his ACL during spring football practice in high school. This setback introduced him to physical therapy and sparked his interest in sports science as a career path. Now, he uses that experience to connect with athletes during their most vulnerable moments. "The problem is not the problem—it's how you respond to it," he shares, reflecting on how he supports professionals through injuries and setbacks.

What's particularly refreshing about Hodges' philosophy is his emphasis on simplicity and fundamentals. Rather than creating complicated routines designed to impress, he focuses on education and building sustainable habits. "My biggest thing is how can I educate you when you're not with me," he says, highlighting his commitment to empowering athletes rather than making them dependent on his guidance.

Beyond training methodology, Hodges offers valuable insights about business development through his work with AI Hospitality. He stresses the importance of vulnerability and asking questions instead of pretending to know everything—wisdom that applies far beyond the gym floor. As Las Vegas continues to evolve into a sports mecca, Hodges and IBI Performance stand ready to support the next generation of athletic excellence.

Frederick launched Pigeonly in 2012, a platform that makes it easy for people to search, find and communicate with an incarcerated loved one. A born entrepreneur, he launched and sold his first business at the age of 19 while on active duty in the Air Force.

Through his entrepreneurial spirit often led him to new opportunities, his desire to attain the American Dream on his terms took him down the wrong path. At 23, he was sent to federal prison for the illegal distribution of 3,000 kg of marijuana. It was this life-changing experience that motivated him to build a solution that would positively impact the lives of people no one else was paying attention to – inmates and their families. The idea of Pigeonly was born.

Pigeonly makes it possible for subscribers to easily send printed photos, letters, greeting cards, postcards, and even online articles from any cell phone, tablet or computer within a few clicks. One of Pigeonly’s most successful products is a low-cost VoIP phone solution, similar to Google Voice, for notoriously expensive prison phone calls. This product alone helps families save over $2MM/year in predatory phone fees per year.

Under Frederick’s leadership, Pigeonly has become one of the largest independent inmate services providers in the country. With subscribers in 88 countries and growing, Pigeonly reduces recidivism by keeping families connected while helping them save millions in predatory fees every year.

Dr. Lee practices full spectrum primary care medicine, taking care of patients of all ages. She enjoys practicing in the direct primary care model so she can spend time with patients and have the opportunity to help them live healthier and longer lives. She feels the direct primary care model restores the physician and patient relationship.

What is direct primary care ?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership model that restores the physician and patient relationship. This healthcare model removes the complex and costly billing system of our current insurance-based health care. This allows the focus to shift from billing and finances to personalized health care with no hidden fees and gives price transparency, all for an affordable monthly membership.

DPC is not health insurance, it is health care. Sunny Health does not bill or accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. It does not cover catastrophic events like hospitalization, surgery, etc.. Although to be a member you do not need insurance, they recommend to obtain at least a high deductible insurance plan for emergencies. DPC is a unique concept when compared to the standard traditional primary care model.

“As a Direct Primary Care physician, we have more time to focus on treating your overall health without the unnecessary intrusion of middleman insurance companies.” – Dr. Lee

Victor has a unique story originally growing up in Russia. He began his career in vehicle sales and purchasing vehicles at auctions at the age of 23 years old. He used to sell all makes and models of vehicles until purchasing his first BMW, a 1999 e36 328i with over 200,000 miles on the odometer. He completely fell in love with the BMW design, performance, and craftsmanship, and decided from that point forward he would be selling nothing but BMWs. 
Victor ended up working on his own vehicles and inventory up until the age of 26 at which point decided to open his own automotive repair shop and deliver a totally different experience from what he had been getting from local repair shops and dealerships.

BMW Only was founded in 2012 (recently rebranding their name to WERKSTATTE) with humble beginnings at their most recent location. Working out of crude metal buildings, while their customer waiting experience was less than ideal, their reputation for honest and fair work apparently spread around the Las Vegas valley. In the years following their opening, they expanded, multiple times until ultimately outgrowing their patchwork facility. In a concerted effort to improve their efficiency, services offered, and the customer experience, they endeavored to construct a facility from the ground up. 

In 2020, WERKSTATTE completed construction of their brand new 11,000 square foot facility that brings  dealership level of service and capacity, while keeping their customers' prices low. They specialize in repairs for both BMWs along with Rolls-Royce vehicles.

Robert Frederick is the Founder & CEO of Sirqul (Intelligence of Things (IOT) Platform based in Seattle) and recently appeared in @Frontline’s Documentary “Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Besos”. He is an MIT Graduate, early in social startups & acquisitions, author of 41 issued patents and the tech co-founder of Amazon Web Services (AWS) & AWS Marketplace. In 1999-2004, Robert led Amazon’s Mobile Commerce initiatives-Amazon Anywhere.

“It all starts somewhere....20 years ago today, Amazon Anywhere was released and made international news. 15 of us executed on the mission statement to "make it possible for anyone, anywhere, at any time, to be able to access Amazon services and features from any device". I joined Amazon via the acquisition of our small company from Atlanta. I had worked tirelessly to make a dream come true for mobile access and the services needed to make it happen. The team and I worked around the clock to land, get our first Palm Pilot VII, and have our server code integrated into Amazon's "online" system, enabling 1-click from the device via APIs in 30 days. Cell phones were next. This was 1999 and some internal teams thought we were crazy or just another "Jeff" project. I look back and am proud of my team and believe that the mission was solid, that it was well supported by senior management and the CEO, and a few of us had a massive impact "steering a charging retail elephant by the tail" and bringing about the start of AWS, Voice Recognition, amazon devices/MVNOs, and presence-based commerce strategies everyone knows today. Its still day 1, says the guy with Amazon patents published still in 2019...over a decade after leaving AMZN”

-Meet the Most Gamified Man on the Planet, Mr. Dean Gray @deangrey01 , on Friday, May 29th for Episode 39 at TheVegasCircle.com or on Apple/Google Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, YouTube and all other streaming platforms. 
 
In 2015, Dean launched Skylab Apps Inc, a game changing and white-labeled social engagement platform that has proven to shape and alter behaviors in people and communities, such as children’s sports, the coaching industry, and the Navy SEALS, by leaping beyond gamification with VRS (value reinforcement system.  With VRS you get to shape and reward the behaviors that matter the most to you, while gamification is done to you without your knowledge. 
Imagine a world where a sponsor can choose a behavior or action that fits their brand and they can partner with a community that drives, tracks and rewards that exact action.

On April 8, 2020, Skylab Apps and Sirqul @sirqul launched the website Do-Your-Part.com and the #DoYourPart App with support from Amazon Web Services (AWS) @amazonwebservices aiming to stop the spread of COVID-19 Curve by rewarding behaviors required to flatten the curve.

Coco Vinny is the Founder of Coco Taps, which is the world’s first ZERO WASTE coconut taps with resealable caps (as seen on @theprofitcnbc and @sharktankabc television shows). The Coco Taps tool kit is the FIRST American made coconut tool that gives you the ability to drink fresh coconut water straight from the coconut. 
—————————
“Since CocoTaps are reusable and make the young coconut resealable for up to four weeks in the refrigerator, @cocovinny decided to create the fresh-tapped coconut water beverage line.  Cocotaps cuts the carbon footprint of traditional pasteurized and packaged coconut water by eliminating wasteful processing of cartons, cans, and plastic bottles that can end up in our ocean and landfills. So many people have never had the opportunity to tap their thirst from a freshly tapped coconut, let alone enjoy the advantages of coconut water! It’s their mission to bring the freshest, wholesale coconut water to them by delivering great taste and less waste one coconut at a time to create a healthier planet.”
