    No. 142 -- ROBI QUICK | RQ Entertainment

    Send us a text ROBI QUICK is a bundle of energy. If you took a blender and threw in passion, enthusiasm, magnetism, talent, and a go-getter attitude, you would get Robi Quick. Robi is the Chief Entertainment Officer for RQ Entertainment, currently serving Sacramento and Placer Counties. But here's the thing ... he is willing to go anywhere to do his thing. He's an auctioneer. He's an emcee. He has worked as a pastor. He could host game shows. He is even testing his skills as a DJ. Bottom line ... Robi is multi-talented. In today's episode, Robi and I passionately discuss his journey. Robi moves fast so it's important to stay locked in because you don't want to miss the nuggets of gold that Quick has to offer entrepreneurs who are looking for direction or a dose of inspiration. HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Robi: "What I love about Robi is that he is who he is. Nothing different. And his talent is top shelf. When I say he could literally do anything, I mean it. I enjoy his honesty as it relates to his own journey of finding out how to showcase his talents in the different arenas we discuss." Our Connection | While we weren't able to get to it in this episode, my journey with Robi started in 2016 when we both attended Bayside Church in Granite Bay. Robi was a youth pastor and I quickly saw his incredible gift. Because we both enjoy the same type of things professionally (auctions + emcee work), we stayed in touch over the years.   The video version of this episode is ALSO AVAILABLE on YOUTUBE.  Don't miss out, SUBSCRIBE to get notified of ALL new ETB episodes as they are released.

    No. 141 -- NICK PECORARO | Premier Preps

    Send us a text NICK PECORARO is giving Sacramento High School sports the coverage it deserves. He has been a one-man band in the game since the early 2000s. With stints on the print side and the television side (most recently with Cal-Hi Sports), Pecoraro knows high school sports. And now he has his own YouTube Channel that showcases high school sports in the area. In today's episode, we learn about Nick's journey and why he is ALL IN with his adventure. While it requires a lot of planning and hard work, he LOVES what he does. While today's conversation is about the entrepreneur side of what Nick does, it is also a plea to small businesses to get behind Premier Preps as a sponsor so that high school sports in this area can be adequately highlighted. HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Nick: "High School sports needs Nick Pecoraro! Those in the area know the legend of Joe Davidson from the Sacramento Bee (featured in ETB Episode No. 19)." Nick brings the same kind of passion and has a diverse set of skills to bring high school sports to life." Our Connection | My connection with Nick came courtesy of a connection from good friend Lauren Neff. She knew I had the podcast and knew that we would hit it off. She was right!   The video version of this episode is ALSO AVAILABLE on YOUTUBE.  Don't miss out, SUBSCRIBE to get notified of ALL new ETB episodes as they are released.

    No. 140 -- AMELIA RUSH | Sac Balloon Girl

    Send us a text AMELIA RUSH decided to go from being an ABA Therapist to the Queen of Balloon Creations in the Greater Sacramento area. A pivot happened a few years ago for this mother of two daughters. And let's say that she isn't looking back. Within this description of Amelia is a model of taking that chance to make a big career move. Yes! Amelia is an ENTREPRENEUR by all definitions of the word. In today's episode, we discuss what was behind Amelia's decision. And then we pull back the curtain on the balloon creation business. Before this conversation I had a lot of fun questions.  How many balloons does it take to create different projects? What about inclement weather? Where do you purchase you balloons? How many colors are there? How did you learn such a fun craft? Let's find out together. HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Amelia: "I love how Amelia made the pivot. She wanted the freedom to control her schedule, and she found a way to do it. Taking the leap is no easy feat. And that is why this conversation is so important for other young entrepreneurs to experience. I am looking forward to inspiration!" Our Connection | I ran into Amelia two years ago at a school auction. There she was installing her balloon creation. What I realized is that this was the same Amelia (Sargis) that I taught in one of my first years at St. Michael's in 1994. Talk about an OG Full Circle moment.   The video version of this episode is ALSO AVAILABLE on YOUTUBE.  Don't miss out, SUBSCRIBE to get notified of ALL new ETB episodes as they are released.

I'm glad you asked because if you are a young entrepreneur, you are going to get an inside look at Taylor's journey to success. Get ready to know what hard work and honoring the grind looks like. There are no shortcuts. Avakian is proof of that. HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Taylor: "As an entrepreneur, it brings me joy to see what Taylor is doing with his life. He is showing that old-school values never go away. He had a passion. He found a way to get in. And with hard work and many dedicated hours, he paved his path. That gets me fired up!" Our Connection | Taylor and my oldest son Toph went to school together, starting in Kindergarten at Mariemont. They graduated together from St. Michael's (2010) and Jesuit High School (2014). When it comes to youth sports, Avakian was on every one of the teams that I coached.

    No. 137 -- DR. JULIE ALLEN | Personalized Urgent Care

    Send us a text DR. JULIE ALLEN has a brilliant idea! First some history. Back in the 1930's, doctors made 'house calls' for 40 percent of their patients. By the 1980's, that number went down to 0.6 percent due to office-centered medicine and mega-health systems. So I ask? What would you prefer to have when it comes to having access to your doctor. Say hello to Dr. Julie. With 10 years of Urgent Care Experience and equipped with her grandfather's medical bag, Julie is bringing back 'house calls' and today I want to put a BIG SPOTLIGHT on what I believe is a brilliant idea. How does this look? That is what we uncover in our conversation. HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Julie Allen: "Julie has a brilliant idea that I feel that is going to take off and be the new wave of families and individuals who need a doctor. I love the idea so much that I have become one of Julie's patients. This is going to be big and you will see this idea spread nationwide." Our Connection | I have had the honor of teaching both of Julie's boys, Eli and Theo, while I was a teacher at St. Michael's. Her sons also have attended my Buzzardball Summer Hoop Camp and have participated in my Winter Basketball League. I am a BIG fan of Julie and her family!

    No. 136 - CHRISTIAN DYER | Professional Rugby Player + Podcaster

    Send us a text CHRISTIAN DYER is a professional rugby player and podcaster. He loves his family and he loves where he comes from.

He has played for Team USA and is currently a member of the Houston Sabercats in Major League Rugby. In addition, he hosts a podcast called "The Chase." But ... I am only scratching the surface. That's why today's episode will leave you inspired and rooting for Christian's success! HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Christian Dyer: "To hear him talk about rugby is one thing. What he has done with his platform using rugby as a vehicle makes me proud of who Christian has become as a young man. He gets it, and it shows." Our Connection | I have been friends with the Dyer family for over 20 years. I saw a young Christian participate in my Buzzardball Youth Basketball program. Just recently, I was the DJ for his sister Maddie's wedding. Once we reconnected at the celebration, I knew this podcast had to happen.
