episode From Building the Party to Building People with Richie Romero cover

Description

Description: Richie Romero helped define an era of New York nightlife. From Limelight to 1OAK, he wasn’t just in the room — he was building it. But at some point, the energy shifted. In this episode, we talk about:– what nightlife used to be vs what it became– the psychology behind bottle service and “being seen”– why those spaces can feel empty even at the top– and what it looks like to walk away and build something real. This is a conversation about identity, evolution, and what happens when the life that once felt like everything… doesn’t anymore.

Men Don’t Avoid Hard Conversations. Boys Do. with Ben Rosenfield

We talk a lot about “toxic masculinity,” but not enough about what healthy masculinity actually looks like in real life. In this episode, I sit down with Ben Rosenfield— founder, thinker, creative and someone who isn’t afraid to challenge the conversation around men, dating, and culture right now. We get into: -Why modern dating feels disconnected (for both men and women -The difference between boys and men — and why it matters -What “doing the hard thing” actually looks like in relationships -Masculinity, purpose, and accountability -Where women might be getting it wrong too This isn’t a takedown. It’s a more honest conversation. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or just tired of surface-level takes on dating and masculinity — this one’s for you.

You Don’t Have to Quit the Party to Evolve With Megan Klein

We’ve been told that changing your relationship with alcohol means losing your social life, your edge, your connection. But what if that’s not true? In this episode, I sit down with Megan Klein, founder and CEO of Little Saints, to talk about nightlife, drinking culture, and what it really looks like to evolve without disappearing from the rooms you once loved. We talk about: – The fear of losing connection when you stop drinking – The identity shift that comes with changing your habits – Why people don’t actually want to quit — they just want another option – How to stay present in the room without abandoning yourself. This conversation isn’t about becoming boring. It’s about becoming conscious.
