On this week’s episode of To a Certain Degree, Stefanie Esquijarosa joins Nick to talk about how she ended up at the job of her dreams. As with many of these types of jobs, it wasn’t the path she’d thought she’d take at all.

Along with her story about the Florida Film Academy, you’ll also hear some truly fiery Bad Business Ideas™, what can loosely be described as audio engineering, and very few recommendations on cashing in your college fund to make a movie.

“No, I’m not going to put the soap on the back burner. I’m going to take the soap off the oven, because why is it even on there in the first place? I’m going to throw it in the garbage, and I’m going to make you take out the trash.”

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and To a Certain Degree is the most important show of the day. Here’s an episode that takes breakfast and gives it the Bad Business Ideas® treatment (starting at the 48 minute mark). Other topics we cover? Parenting, UCF, and cobbler, just to name a few. Oh, and racial equality.

J.B. Adams is more than a collection of letters that makes up a name on a screen or sheet of paper. He’s also a man. A man with a very good sense of humor, an incredible listener, and a very talented storyteller.

Luckily, he joined Nick at the WPRK studios on October 10, 2016 for To a Certain Degree. Among other things we discuss besides Star Wars, Victor Hugo, and space exploration? Mood pants.

On this episode of To a Certain Degree, Dave Krepcho enjoys a healthy repast of conversation and some comedy. The President and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, he leads more than 100 employees and countless volunteers in ending hunger in and around the Orlando area. Dave shares quite a bit, including how he ended up in the not-for-profit world (a hurricane), what Second Harvest is doing to underwrite its training classes (catering and event hosting), and has a good time with some Bad Business Ideas (patent pending).

On this episode of To a Certain Degree, Candy Cole makes her way to the studio. Along with being an organizer of Maker Faire Orlando, she consults with startups that have the next great idea but need the business acumen to bring that invention to market. As always, music, Bad Business Ideas®, and hijinks ensue.

Download this episode directly into your cranium! Sure, the tech for that isn’t quite here yet, but it’s getting closer. This week’s guest, Hap Aziz, is an educator and technologist, and we cover topics from drones to privacy to driverless cars. Oh, and rescuing overheated pets in cars.

Just like every episode, we play some games, shark tank it up, and get pretty deep (on a surface level).

We’re on tour with Sarah Peerani this week, to a certain degree. Sarah doesn’t believe in staying still for long, working for a number of organizations, volunteering at others, and starting a few of her own. We’ll dig into the latest and greatest along with her advice on how to keep balanced. As always, music, Bad Business Ideas®, and merriment will ensue.

Sarah Donovan of The First Academy schools Nick on teachable moments, Bad Business Ideas (patent pending), and much more. Listen and get educated!

Orlando cheerleader and all around great community manager Andi Perez joins us for an episode that is all about the City Beautiful. You'll love it as much as she does once you listen.
