Danny Zelisko, event promoter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Old school Arizonans definitely remember Evening Star Productions and its creator Danny Zelisko. Danny brought so many great shows to the valley going all the way back to the 1970’s. He is a walking history book of music and entertainment. Now he is making his over fifty years of memorabilia available for auction with “Danny Zelisko’s Closet”. He is donating some of the proceeds to The Joybus Diner nonprofit. He is a great storyteller. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

There are so many great nonprofit organizations in Arizona. One of the best is St. Mary’s Foodbank. I call them the O.G. because they are the first foodbank in America.

Lisa is one of the most respected people in her industry. Her passion to serve is obvious in our conversation. I hope you enjoy it.
Favorite Episode: Mike D'Antoni, Hall of Famer and former Suns Coach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s a privilege to have a conversation with a Hall of Famer in any field. It’s even more special when they are a local legend and a fantastic human being. That describes former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D’Antoni. D’Antoni talks about his career and some great memories he has of being the coach of the Suns. Not only the great players they were, but the great men of character they were as well. He is such a humble man that he spent so much of our time together talking about other people and not him
Paul Yaffe, Arizona businessman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve owned motorcycles most of my time in Arizona. It is a great place to ride. One of the industry leaders in custom bikes is Paul Yaffe. His “Bagger Nation” is iconic in the industry. I was so anxious to sit down with him and learn about his company. He is a fascinating person. He is an artist and a shrewd businessman. Even if you don’t ride, you’re going to love this discussion.
Barry Goldwater Jr., former U.S. Representative (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If there is one name that is synonymous with Arizona, it is Goldwater. For this episode of Amazing Arizonans, I had the privilege of talking with Barry Goldwater Jr. From growing up as the son of who is considered the father of modern conservatism to serving in the United States Congress, my conversation with Goldwater is a walking history book. He still sits on the board of the Goldwater Institute . He has an exceptional background and story. I hope that you enjoy it.
