First guests of the year and we started with a BANG!! We welcome Sanj , Mario and Chico Rivas to TLE. You might not know Chico but you will after this show, we made sure of it. The energy in the room was over whelming, in a good way. 

This is a conversation anyone in the industry would want to hear or NEEDS to hear. It's brutally honest and will make a lot of you uncomfortable and that's OK!
