We met Tami Nealy from Find Your Influence at the "Introduction to Influencers" Event. We immediately and had to share this amazing find. FYI uses local talent, like previous podcast guests What Lola Likes, Chelsea Bird, and Something Sakura, and partners them with brands and products needing a highlight! Not only do they foster relationships, but they also are clear on their data. We sit down with Tami and learn about what it means to be on the other side of influencer marketing and forecasting where its going with Gen Z and beyond.

With over 25 years in the restaurant business, Danny sits down with us to share with us the vision behind Pubblico Italian Eatery in Uptown Phoenix. We learn all about his start from Santa Barbara, California to Phoenix, Arizona. The cliche talk of restaurant ebbs and flows transitions our conversation into what it means to truly live up to expectations. As a father and husband, Danny gets personal with us and share his family life and sober lifestyle. Finally, we discuss restaurants in the valley he recommends checking out.

This heartfelt singer came into our studio and blew us away the very first time. Danielle is a singer-songwriter that has been working on her second album and is now ready to unveil it to the world. She gave us the opportunity to understand where she's coming from and what's different about this album named, Bashful. Her new tour entitled, “ I guess we'll do it our f****** selves, then: The Tour” will be blazing the southwest through May, and culminating in Phoenix on May 4th at the rebel lounge. We look forward to hearing and seeing more about our friend, Danielle, in the future and if you would like to see more of her go to the following:
