Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Rock Bottom to a $3 Million Run: Paul Roberson’s Bet on Himself.
Q: What would you share with a business owner or someone who wants to start right now?
Trust God first, focus on what not to do, and commit tenacity to the process; your success comes from the person behind the AI or tech, not the tool itself, and you must stay authentic and purpose-driven.
The Voice Behind WWE and the Vegas Golden Knights | Mark Shunock
Q: How do you manage your schedules between WWE, Knights, and other gigs?
WWE takes priority on Fridays; the rest of the week involves careful planning around flights and time zones to be back for other commitments, often with little sleep but great energy from the work.
The Voice Behind WWE and the Vegas Golden Knights | Mark Shunock
Q: What is The Space and why was it created?
The Space started as a way for us to consolidate charitable efforts and provide a home for Mondays Dark; it's a 10,000 square foot venue near the strip used for events, concerts, and mental health initiatives.
The Voice Behind WWE and the Vegas Golden Knights | Mark Shunock
Q: How did you end up in Las Vegas and with the Golden Knights?
I moved to pursue Broadway, got involved with Rock of Ages, and ended up contributing to the Vegas entertainment scene; Bill Foley announced hockey in Vegas, and I joined the Knights' campaign, which grew into a long-term role.
Inside the Business of Las Vegas Billboards | Danny Calderin
Q: What's the biggest mistake brands make in marketing?
