As President and COO of Parkwood Entertainment, Steve Pamon played an integral role in developing and delivering Beyonce's Homecoming performance at Coachella 2018, one of the most significant cultural moments this generation has ever seen.

His creativity and leadership on that alone would be enough to warrant Steve receiving his flowers, but we get into so much more. It's Steve's character, intellect, and values that have allowed him to consistently set (and raise) the bar in business, sports, and entertainment.

In this episode, Steve takes Bryan on a journey through the Southside of Chicago, where family, community, comedy, and music helped shape his youth. He reflects on his mentors' impact on him. He also shares a few defining moments in his career – including a behind-the-scenes look into how Homecoming came together and an emotional memory he has with music industry legend Andre Harrell and the Black Godfather, Clarence Avant.
