Join the wave of nostalgia and insight with me and Rex From Vegas the creative mind who's mastered the art of spinning both tracks and tales. As we reminisce about our days as Mandalay Bay lifeguards among the pulsating heart of Vegas's EDM scene at Daylight Beach club, we also dissect the profound impact of networking on our careers. From high school rapper dreams to fraternity life and plunging into the music industry, we trace the connections that fueled our journey and discuss the significance of capturing the essence of the creative community when mainstream attention wanes.
Rex and I celebrate the diverse array of guests we've hosted on our show, featuring the minds behind smart homes and the illustrious Vegas strip clubs, proving that the city's glittering façade is only the beginning. As Rex shares the nitty-gritty of DJing—from free gigs at Davidoff's Cigar Bar to earning coveted residencies—we peel back the curtain on the creative grind. Moreover, you'll get a backstage pass to the making of 'Late Night with Rex' and 'First Friday,' revealing the magic and mayhem of indie filmmaking on a shoestring budget.
Concluding our session, we face the daunting endurance test of triathlon training, dissecting the mental fortitude required to smash through barriers, just as we have in our professional pursuits. Elevation With Chris Oram Featuring Rex From Vegas is more than just a podcast episode; it's a testament to the power of enduring friendships, the alchemy of team dynamics, and the unbridled determination that writes success stories. So buckle up for an episode brimming with vibrant conversations, hearty laughs, and a treasure trove of wisdom from a decade of navigating Vegas and beyond.
