In this episode of Under Pressure, Carmine sits down with media personality and content queen Raquel Goldy for a wild ride through global pop culture, sports, and life behind the mic.

Raquel breaks down the global takeover of K-Pop – why it's more than music, how it became a billion-dollar machine, and what it says about culture today. From fangirls to full-blown fandom empires, she unpacks the hype and power of South Korea’s biggest export.

But it’s not all pop idols and synchronized dance moves – Raquel shares what life was like in South Korea (spoiler: they REALLY love their alcohol), her behind-the-scenes stories as the arena host for the Florida Panthers, and how she built a career that keeps evolving in the ever-changing media world.

From corporate legal life to crafting immersive magical worlds, Brooklyn shares her journey of walking away from the grind of law firm life to follow her passion for storytelling — and what it really takes to build a compelling literary universe from scratch.
