So Ojai, California, has 3 dispensaries, but only 2 traffic lights? That's the most California thing I've ever heard in my life. Hey, early voting is starting in many states, so get out there and vote as if your life depended upon it, because it very well might this year.

Anthony Cortes: Bringing the Theater to the Outdoors and Building Community Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Anthony’s entrepreneurial journey began at 24 when he co-founded Trend Studios, his first business, with partners in Orlando, Florida. The full-service salon business grew to three locations within four years. Alongside the salons, he produced fashion shows and community events, discovering a passion for bringing people together. After the pandemic forced the salons to close, he co-founded Motion Flix in 2020, carrying that focus on service and shared experiences into outdoor entertainment.

Anthony Cortes leads Motion Flix with a focus on creating experiences that bring people together. Founded in 2020, Motion Flix turns backyards, residential communities, and public spaces into places to gather, watch, and connect.

His approach combines thoughtful event design, personal service and an entrepreneurial mindset. Through interviews and podcast appearances, Anthony shares lessons on building an experience-based business and growing without losing the details that make each event special.

1756 D&S: Doug Gets 4 Stars for Brown Grass Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

What does that title even mean? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out! I'm trying my hand at clickbait titles; how did I do? I was also toying with "Strickland did WHAT with his software?" or "Who's this Larry guy, and why should I drink his coffee?" (I understand it's really delicious, actually. But do the "nice guys" offer ME any? No, of course not. They take all the glory (and the coffee) for themselves.)

The guys told me to add these links too. Thanks for the reminder, Erica!

1752 S&S: It's a Steve O'Brien Bonus Day! Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

So what's your favorite part of the show? If you said Steve O'Brien's intros and outros, you're in luck! Today's episode may be short, but it's 80% Steve O., so that more than makes up for it. It's kind of like seeing Steven Wright, or Carrot Top- the jokes are so rapid-fire that you get a lot of them in a very short time. If you miss the guys, they assure me they'll be back next week to tell you all about what's been going on in their lives. Until then, enjoy listening to a true professional, the one and only Steve O'Brien.

If you want to book Steve for any voice-over work, go to https://steveobrienvo.com/, but don't expect to hear any of the Nice Guys intros in his demos. He actually wants to KEEP his other clients.
