    Money, Mindset & the Vegas Service Industry | Ep 309

    In this episode, we sit down with Las Vegas author Dana June, creator of How 2 Cocktale: A Money Manifesto for the Service Industry. After spending over a decade working in the service industry, she noticed a pattern—people making great money… but still struggling financially. So she wrote a book to change that. We get into: • Why people in the service industry often stay broke • The mindset shift needed to build real financial freedom • What it’s like writing and publishing a book in just weeks • Money habits that quietly hold people back • The reality of working in Vegas nightlife • How to think about income when it’s inconsistent This isn’t just for bartenders or servers! If your income isn’t predictable (entrepreneurs, freelancers, gig workers), this conversation is for you.

    Jonathan Jossel: CEO of Plaza Hotel & Casino | Ep 308

    In this episode of the Hey Bighead Show, we finally sit down with someone we’ve been talking about for over a year… Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas. From moving to Vegas at a young age knowing nobody to becoming the youngest executive ever to hold an unrestricted gaming license in the state of Nevada, Jonathan breaks down how he climbed his way to the top of one of the most iconic properties in the city. We get into: • How Downtown Las Vegas was rebuilt from nothing • What it’s really like running a casino • The impact of Vegas becoming more “event-driven” • Leadership, risk-taking, and learning in chaos • The future of the Plaza and Las Vegas Plus… we finally test the theory: if you say his name enough times, will he appear?  If you’re into Vegas, business, entrepreneurship, or just love a good story...this one’s for you. --- The Hey BigHead Show is proud to be a Vegas Local podcast.
