Show notes

For the first time ever, we are sitting down for a SECOND time with a guest who has already been on the show!

Brent Bolthouse is the CEO of Bungalow Hospitality Group and the creator of Neon Carnival.

Neon Carnival is dubbed “the official afterparty of Coachella”, although not affiliated with the festival, and is considered one of the biggest private parties in the world with Hollywood’s top celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Drake, Clint Eastwood, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, and Paris Hilton attending in the past.

This year, Neon Carnival is expanding to Stagecoach weekend as well!

Brent also had a ton of insights and advice to share for anyone who feels stuck and wants to follow their passion in life.

The first episode with Brent, Episode 28, was one of our biggest episodes yet and this one is EVEN BETTER so make sure to tune in!
