  • NO. 74 -- THE BOONE FAMILY | All My Best Inc.

    Send us Fan Mail

    KIM BOONE is a powerhouse and a great representation for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Boone has operated All My Best for 31 years. All My Best is a printing and apparel company in Rocklin that has succeeded on the formation of great relationships and a priority on customer service. In addition, we get to hear from three of her kids who are on board to take this Rocklin Company onward and upward. Today you will enjoy the journey of Kim, Taylor, Mack, and Madison Boone. A true family business!

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard goes one-on-one with for members of the Boone Family."This is a story that I felt was important to tell. Think about it. A family business where everyone involved loves being a part of the company. That is rare, so doesn't it make sense to find how they do it?"  Our conversation hits four areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 ⛱ Kim shares with us the origin of her business at All My Best. Boone then shares the family connection and how she was able to have her children Taylor, Mack, and Madison want to be a part of the family business
    • SEGMENT 2 ⛱ we find out more about Boone's inspiration and entrepreneur spirit she got from her dad. Then I key in on the following subjects: "Why the Apparel Business?" "What are your strengths and things you are currently working on?" Boone then speaks to young entrepreneurs followed by being a proud mama. We finish off with what is behind the All My Best logo.
    • SEGMENT 3 ⛱ shifts gears and talks to the kids. Taylor, Mack, and Madison Boone tell ETB why they were drawn to All My Best and what makes their company different from others in the area.
    • SEGMENT 4 ⛱ We finish off with how it felt to get their own office and of course it makes sense to let the siblings brag about their mom Kim. 

    Our Connection |  I was introduced to Kim years ago by good friend Gregg Pistochini. I knew in our first meeting it was going to be a great relationship. All My Best has printed my basketball uniforms for my Winter Basketball League.

  • NO. 73 -- ANNE KHASIGIAN | Commit Health + Wellness

    Send us Fan Mail

    ANNE KHASIGIAN is the perfect person to kick off Season Two of Experience the Buzz. With a new year means new beginnings. But don't you dare say the word 'diet' around Anne (she cringes). Instead, Anne is about helping people form great habits from top to bottom. She is a health and wellness coach,  a certified nutrition coach, and a fitness expert. The question today is how did Anne find her passion to help others in such a beneficial way.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard soaks in all of Anne's wisdom and knowledge "This is a topic that relates to everyone, so the listening factor is going to be a 10 out of 10 for sure. I am excited for listeners to hear what Anne has to say when speaking about our health."  Our conversation hits three areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 👏🏼  kicks off with that word DIET. Anne doesn't like the word and instead tells us what Commit Health + Wellness is all about. She speaks to creating good habits. Anne discusses the reason she coaches individuals and not groups. We get into Khasigian's fun and informative Instagram account called "DeepSquatsAndThoughts." She finishes out the segment by giving her definition of an entrepreneur.
    • SEGMENT 2 👏🏼 is a deeper dive into improving habits. We find out more about Anne as she discusses spending time with extended family and shares her childhood. Give it up for Lodi where Anne grew up and worked at her family's winery. We find out what she learned about working in the industry. That bridges into the question, "how good is wine for you?"
    • SEGMENT 3 👏🏼 is a Rapid Fire Segment 💥... we discuss the following subjects: Drinking Water, Making Meals, Kids + Nutrition, Late Night Snacking, and all things Peloton!

    Our Connection |  I have known Anne and the Khasigian Family for years now. Her son Colin has participated in my Buzzardball Summer Basketball Camps and Winter Basketball Leagues. I was also able to host a group of boys that met every week to play flag football. Colin was a big part of that group. And I was a guest on Colin's podcast called "Ballin' with Colin."

  • NO. 72 -- Ross Hammond | Guitarist | 1-Year Anniversary

    Send us Fan Mail

    ROSS HAMMOND is an ultra-talented musician. He is quite accomplished. Since 2003, Hammond has been putting out records either as a solo artist or part of a project. I counted 17. That my friends is impressive. He has done tours, but the music lifestyle of Hammond isn't anything like you might envision. It's clear that Ross did it his way. Might be the recipe for a young musician out there listening.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard catches up with Hammond "Ross and I are friends through basketball, but I never have had the chance to know his story until today. His take on music and the life he has been able to live through it is fascinating."  Our conversation hits three areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 🪕  kicks off with Hammond's childhood in Kentucky that eventually led to his move to California with his mom (a la Karate Kid). Ross talks about getting his first guitar and how his love for music slowly grew throughout his teenage years.
    • SEGMENT 2 🪕 Hammond shares with us the part of his journey where he started producing albums (He's up to 17 now!). Ross shares great insight on the improvisation of jazz music and how it is unique. We get a glimpse of life on the road and what that looks like for a jazz musician (not like Motley Crüe's World Tour 1995). Ross finishes off the segment by discussing Covid collaborations with other artists.
    • SEGMENT 3 🪕 starts with Gold Lion Arts, a place where Ross escapes to when he wants to work on his music. It's also a place where he gets to teach others how to play an instrument. Hammond shares his joy of coaching in basketball with his daughter Lola ... And we finish off with Rapid Fire 💥.

    Our Connection |  I met Ross when his daughter Lola attended my basketball camp when she was in Kindergarten (she is now in 6th Grade). I have watched Lola grow up through the game and have enjoyed seeing Ross being able to coach his daughter.

    Send us Fan Mail

    ANDREA GEBHARDT is a TRUE entrepreneur! She is the essence of what Experience the Buzz loves. I LOVE entrepreneurs. And you will love ANDREA! She is a bundle of energy that has a lot to offer. Educator turned entrepreneur. And what she has done as an entrepreneur will surely inspire as we get ready to ring in the New Year!

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard enjoys time with a fellow entrepreneur. "I love meeting people that are as passionate about being an entrepreneur as I am. Andrea is all about positive energy and she serves up a full course of tips, experiences, and wisdom in today's episode. Such a great way to end 2021!"  Our conversation hits three areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 💡  begins with the 4-1-1 behind Andrea's new podcast called "Brewing Success with Andrea Gebhardt." We find out what is behind the origin of the name. Andrea shares everything you need to know about her amazing website called LeadLikeAndreaGebhardt.Com. 
    • SEGMENT 2 💡 dives into a whole lot of subjects like setbacks and setups from 2020, what was Andrea's Pivot, takeaways from Network Marketing, describing being an entrepreneur, and her amazing partnership with leadership expert and best-selling author John C. Maxwell.
    • SEGMENT 3 💡 kicks off with Andrea's take on the power of social media. We also discuss the importance of faith ✝ and together we reflect on what was 2021. And it's back ... as we finish off in a fun way with Rapid Fire 💥.

    Our Connection |  Both Andrea and I were involved with a network marketing company called ACN. I survived one year. Andrea survived two. While I would never venture into network marketing again, I did learn a lot and I also know there are a a lot of great network marketing companies that do it right.

  • NO. 70 -- ERIC HASSELTINE | Radio Voice of NBA's Memphis Grizzlies

    Send us Fan Mail

    ERIC HASSELTINE is living his dream. He is one of 30 radio announcers in the NBA. That's an amazing accomplishment. On top of that, he has not missed a game since taking over the job in 2005. Yes ... he essentially is the Cal Ripken of NBA Radio Play-By-Play Announcers. Hasseltine, who went to De La Salle High School and later UC Davis is definitely known in the area. And we are cheering for his success. How he got to Memphis is an incredible story you have to hear. And that will happen in today's Talking Story!

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard and Hasseltine get reacquainted. It's been a long time. "When we both were doing play-by-play for UC Davis football in the 90's , it was pretty evident that Eric was talented. Seeing him where he is today in life is no surprise at all"  Our conversation hits four areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 🏀  starts by going back in time to talk about Eric's days at UC Davis as the sports director at KDVS (the student-run station at UC Davis). We also dive into Eric's journey in Memphis that started with a phone call on 9/11.
    • SEGMENT 2 🏀 focuses on the day that Hasseltine became an NBA Play-By-Play Announcer. Let's just say, it's not like anything you would expect. A lot was going on in Eric's life leading up to this emotional moment in 2005. You will get to know the influence that Don Poier had in Eric's life as a person and a broadcaster.
    • SEGMENT 3 🏀 gives us insight to life in Memphis. Safe to say that when you spend 20+ years of your life in Memphis, you are officially a "Memphian." Eric also talks about balancing his life between his job and family and why he stepped away from the microphone as an afternoon sports talk host.
    • SEGMENT 4 🏀 finishes off with "Rapid Fire." In this case, some of the questions I was dying to ask that would complete what was a fun and informative conversation.

    Our Connection |  Back in the mid-90's I was the voice of UC Davis Football on Sports 1140 KHTK. Eric was the sports director for KDVS, which was the student-run station on campus. Eric took off for Memphis in 2001 to chase his dream. He caught it and then some.

  • NO. 69 -- BRIAN KATZ | Sac State Basketball

    Send us Fan Mail

    BRIAN KATZ knew he could coach basketball forever. He also knew that he had to listen to what others were telling him. Ultimately, the basketball mastermind made the decision. It was time to retire and see what life was about without the rigors of his life as a basketball coach.e  So he said good-bye to Sac State Basketball, which represented 14 of his 45 years coaching the game of basketball. Good news is that after a month of transition, I think Katz is happy with his decision. We get to hear about it today.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard catches up with his retired friend "Nobody will fully comprehend what Brian Katz has meant to the basketball community. I appreciate the insight that Brian delivers when it comes to describing life as a basketball coach. Be ready to be slapped upside the head with wisdom."  Our conversation hits four areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 🏀  begins with an update on his health status. We then dive into his decision to retire and what was behind him stepping away from the game. He talks about the transition he is going through and how retirement has opened up a reconnection for him with many things in his life.
    • SEGMENT 2 🏀 is devoted to the time that Coach Katz arrived at Sac State in 2008. We discuss the magical 2014-15 season that included the infamous "Hail Garrity" (Senior guard Dylan Garrity hit a 75-foot shoot to defeat Weber State at "The Nest.") Speaking of the Nest, we talk about the criticism behind Sac State's home floor.
    • SEGMENT 3 🏀 is entirely about the coaching timeline for Katz. From his start in 1977 at Sylvan Junior High through his stints at Casa Roble and Center High School. Katz shares some fun stores about his assistant days at Santa Clara and where things took off for Katz at Delta Junior College in Stockton. We finish off with some funny stories between me and Katz, one as a player and another as a coach.
    • SEGMENT 4 🏀 has the retired coach sharing his basketball formula for winning games. The coach gives us a sneak peek into two books he is writing. And we finish it off with more wisdom.

    Our Connection |  Brian and I go way back. It all started at Arden Little League where his boys Vinny and Steven played with my nephew PJ Simas (ETB Episode 9). Brian even coached in Buzzardball (while at Sac State). He will share a great story in today's episode.

  • NO. 68 -- MIKE STEEZE | California Steeze

    Send us Fan Mail

    MIKE STEEZE is his most common name. "Steeze," "M. Anthony," "Tony" (from the friends in the Sandbox), "Tony Ranger," "Mike Ranger," "Bama (like Bomb-uh)," Lil' Tony are other names that have represented this 27-year old entrepreneur. He spent 15 years in foster care. He is a single father to his beautiful daughter Adelle. All of that is part of his story. He embraces it and with it he draws power to make a difference. And that difference is taking place right here in the 9-1-6. Respect!

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard visits the STEEZE LABORATORY to go in depth with the mastermind behind the hottest local merchandise. "No other way to say that. I am impressed by what Mike has created and his attention to detail when it comes to California Steeze. He is a brand that I will forever support!"  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 ⚡️  gets after it by getting the story behind the California Steeze brand and specifically the gear I love that has "Sacramento Versus Everybody" on it. Steeze talks about his beginnings that started at age 20 with a magazine. We move into that day when the California Steeze Brand made its way into local stores Getta Clue in DOCO and Goodstock in the Arden Fair Mall.
    • SEGMENT 2 ⚡️ begins with shout-outs and information surrounding the California Steeze Brand. We dive into Mike's name and the origin of the many names he owns. We discuss his fire behind his attention to detail. Steeze shares with his mentors and discusses giving back to the community. And we end with reactions that the 27-year old gets when he is noticed.
    • SEGMENT 3 ⚡️ starts with the other parts of the California Steeze Brand. We talk about local events that Mike hosts throughout the year. The last part of our conversation is deep. Mike talks about things he has learned, things that are important to him now, and ultimately where he is heading. Powerful. We finish with a collaboration discussion.

    Our Connection |  My meeting with Mike has been recent. Started with a DM message. We eventually connected. He invited me to the Steeze Laboratory. We spoke for almost two hours and of course, I made purchases. That was our pre-game warmup for today's episode.

  • NO. 67 -- MADISON KIMBALL | PowerLux Fitness

    Send us Fan Mail

    MADISON KIMBALL is 24 years and the owner of her own business. Hard work and determination were the keys to success when Madison decided to open Power Lux Fitness. And this decision was made amidst a pandemic. Nothing was stopping Madison from opening a strength and conditioning facility that provides training sessions for athletes and everyday people like you and me. Get ready to be inspired by the next generation.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard catches up with a former student of his (at St. Michael's when I was a teacher). "Madison has the fire that I love to see in young entrepreneurs. She will succeed because it's in her DNA. She is willing to learn and grow as a small business owner. That's the recipe for success!"  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 💪🏼  opens up about the nuts and bolts behind PowerLux Fitness. We then explore Madison's personal athletic journey as a soccer player. Everything she talks about is an important part of her journey. She discusses specializing in one sport, important coaches along the way, and what the thought process when deciding her athletic career was over and something else was on the horizon.
    • SEGMENT 2 💪🏼 is dedicated to everything behind PowerLux Fitness. The decision to go into business. What is behind the name and the logo. The process of finding a facility. What Opening Day was like and everything that goes into putting together what is now Madison's own strength + conditioning facility in Rancho Cordova.
    • SEGMENT 3 💪🏼 explores Madison's marketing approach through social media (YouTube + Instagram). The certified Strength + Conditioning Specialist shares what it would like if you and I made the decision to start a program at PowerLux Fitness. By episode's end, you will say to yourself, "I want Madison to be my trainer."

    Our Connection |  I love the Kimball family. Madison and her older sister Morgan arrived at St. Michael's as students when Madison was EIGHT (8) years old. Both graduated and were terrific young ladies to teach during my time at St. Michael's.

    Quotes
    -- "me, too." -
    Madison's answer when asked what she wanted to do based on what her sister Morgan decided.
    -- "My necessity to be in California was bigger than my desire to play soccer." -
    turning point for Madison
    -- "We want to build a culture where working out is fun."

  • NO. 66 -- CAUSEWAY CLASSIC | Scott Marsh, Jason Ross, Doug Kelly, + Steve McElroy

    Send us Fan Mail

    THE CAUSEWAY CLASSIC has produced some memorable games between its participants, UC Davis and Sac State. In 2021, the 67th Causeway Classic may be the biggest showdown in the history of the rivalry. Both teams are 8-2. The winner will probably receive a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs while the loser will have to go on the road as a lower seed with a much steeper hill to climb.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard decided to bring the radio personalities of each school together to have a Causeway Classic Round Table. And that we did. Representing UC Davis (who will be the home team for the 2021 battle) is Scott Marsh and Doug Kelly. And representing Hornets radio is Jason Ross and Steve McElroy. There are a lot of years between this quartet when it comes to broadcasting football games. 

    • SEGMENT 1 🏈  takes a look at the history of the rivalry as well as a preview of what is expected in the 2021 version of the Causeway Classic.
    • SEGMENT 2 🏈  is dedicated to life in the broadcast booth. Some things are shared that you may not have known in regards to subjects like preparation, game day, etc. Some great insight from the guys. 
    • SEGMENT 3 🏈 is dedicated to the memories shared by the five of us over the course of what has been almost 30 combined years of broadcasting college football in the Sacramento and Davis region.

    Our Connection |  These guys are my friends. I had the honor of being the Voice of UC Davis Aggie Football for 14 years. Scott Marsh took over my spot and has carried the torch for 15 years while DK has had to endure us both for a total of close to 30 years. On the flip side, Ross and McElroy have been together since Day One when they first started broadcasting Sac State Football 26 years ago. Impressive!

  • NO. 65 -- ERIC + EMILY HAYS | Chateau Davell Winery

    Send us Fan Mail

    ERIC + EMILY HAYS are the owners of Chateau Davell Winery in El Dorado County. So how does this couple set themselves apart from the over 1700 wineries that exist in the state of California? Small batch sustainable wines made with LOVE. Couldn't have said it any better. The Hays are considered the "GREENEST WINERY AROUND." The winery is 100 percent sustainable. And that's just the start of what makes Chateau Davell Winery a gem in the winery business.

    In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard enjoys some time with Eric and Emily as they discuss the world of wine. "I certainly like to drink wine. But this conversation was a true education on the subject surrounding their journey into owning their own winery."  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

    • SEGMENT 1 🍷  takes a look at the story of Eric + Emily Hays. They share their journey of what they were doing before Chateau Davell Winery and what got them to making their 12.5-acre estate their livelihood. We get a glimpse into the LOVE STORY and what makes Chateau Davell Winery a family-friendly destination for wine lovers.
    • SEGMENT 2 🍷 explores sustainability and what goes behind the process of making wine in its purest form. It's pretty exciting to listen to and quite possibly could be the blue print for future wineries trying to follow in their footsteps.
    • SEGMENT 3 🍷 has me asking those curious wine questions. What is the wine-making process? What if I wanted to start a winery (as Eric + Emily laugh)? Amongst other questions.

    Our Connection |  I had the honor of being the DJ for a wedding that was being held at Chateau Davell Winery. As I was setting up, I slowly was able to meet the entire family from Eric + Emily, their kids, and Eric's parents that included his mom Davell (whom the winery is named after). On my way to the bathroom, I saw some articles on Eric and the winery and it said he was from Sacramento. Boom 💥 ... I knew he and Emily had to be my next guest! So glad it worked out.
