EPISODE 7 - Nicole Jackson (Fyre Festival Episode)

The time has finally come!!! The FYRE FESTIVAL EPISODE! Introducing someone who has become one of my BEST friends, concert buddies, and music festival adventure partner, Nicole Jackson. Nicole and I met AT Fyre Festival, the world biggest luxury musical festival flop, put on by Billy McFarland, and rapper, Ja Rule. By now, you’ve seen some kind of production about this festival, but never someone’s FIRST HAND experience, which I had the pleasure of being on the first flight out to the Bahamas, and connected with Nicole out of the 500 or so people that actually made it TO the festival.

Hear some of the stories that the documentaries never told, the TRUTH behind the infamous cheese sandwich, how much we ACTUALLY paid for our tickets, and how we finally managed to get off the island back to the US.
