SAESON 4: Stories of Overcoming This 80s girl was on cloud nine sitting in studio with my own local legend, the man who brought the music to the Valley of the Sun. Danny Zelisko started his vision of becoming one of the greatest event and concert promoters of all time. A Chicago born son, Danny came to Phoenix in 1974 and changed the face of how we do shows in this gorgeous city. In this session I was able to go back MTV Story Teller style and get into the roots of who Mr Zelisko is, and why he one of the most respected in the business. His origins, the creation of Evening Star Productions and catapulting to the top in his field, to the deeply hidden secret behind the acquisition of his company.  Moments with Brian Piccolo and Ernie Banks, Jeff Beck, Alice Cooper, Bill Compton, James Brown, Motley Crew, Paul McCartney, Billy Idol, Aerosmith and so many more. Come along on this wild ride with the coolest dude I know...ladies and gentlemen, Mr Danny Zelisko

November 23, 2020 at 1:33 in the Afternoon, Bryan Johnson, CEO of HomeOwner Magazine sent me a text asking if I wanted to Interview Tom Hatten at 11:00am the very next day.  Tom Hatten is no ordinary corporate officer, this is our Valley's own Hero story. A man who took $2000 at the age of 22 and worked an ungodly amounts of hours to fulfill his dream of a local gym with the luxury feel. A true small business success story that grew right here in our back yard. Tom is an experiential expert on how to overcome and keep moving forward. Starting in 1991, his concept quickly expanded because his clubs offer so many levels of health and fitness yet at an affordable local price. More recently Tom Stood up to the shut down orders and fought for the right to keep gyms open. We all know the physical benefits of daily exercise yet, its the mental benefits that I am most interested in speaking to him about. He and I both had been affected by a loss to suicide and in these pandemic times, suicide rates are climbing. Not everyone can afford the high costs of anxiety treatments or therapist. In these tight restrictions the gym is at times, the only escape from home or work. A place to reset, to just think about your body and nothing else. A vital treatment that is very affordable and has shown to greatly reduce stress, anxiety and even ADHD. Exercise increases our confidence, improves blood flow and immunity and of course improves our sex life.   So with less the 24 hours to plan, I studied the topics, grabbed my iPhone, a mic, laptop and a small tripod and RAN at the chance to speak to this great man. Thank you Tom for everything you have done and continue to do for our community. We are grateful. KEEP OUR GYMS OPEN

Captain Bryan Jeffries, Captain with the Mesa Fire Department and President of the PFFA Arizona Chapter sits down with me to share his harrowing story. Starting in the service of Fire and public safety early in life, he grew passionate about finding a way to expand coverages if injured on the job. A large part of that battle is extended coverages for certain cancer not usually covered yet, they are 200% more likely to come down with cancer because of the toxins they are exposed to on every shift. 25 years into his lobbying, Captain Jeffries himself discovered he had cancer. In an unbelievable fate of strength and determination worthy of LEGEND status. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my honor to present this interview. Enjoy and be inspired.
