Author & Podcaster Audley Stephenson on Living an Audacious Life | Courage, Purpose & Personal Growth

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Speaker & Host of The Audacious Living Podcast Audley Stephenson, who has dedicated more than 600 podcast episodes to helping people live life audaciously through bold conversations, real stories, and purposeful living.

He's also the author of the upcoming book Living Your Best Audacious Life, scheduled for release in December 2026.

Audley didn't build his work around audacity simply because it sounded good. He built it because he had to live it.

Founder Erin Snow on The Unmuted Room: A Space to Finally Be Heard

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Erin Snow, Founder of The Unmuted Room, a confidential listening space for people who spend much of their lives holding it together for everyone else.

Erin's work explores something most of us rarely acknowledge: how much of our lives we spend editing ourselves. At work, at home, and in our relationships, we carefully choose our words, soften the edges, protect other people's feelings, and decide which parts of the truth are safe to say out loud.

But what happens to everything we don't say?

Erin created The Unmuted Room as an alternative to another opinion, another piece of advice, or another person trying to fix the problem. It isn't therapy or coaching. Instead, it offers a neutral, confidential space where people can speak openly without having to manage the listener's reaction.

We get into self-expression, emotional honesty, being heard, listening, authenticity, relationships, communication, vulnerability, personal growth, and the power of saying the things we normally keep inside.

It's a story—and an idea—you need to hear.

Jerry Brazie on Building $450M+ in Business | Adversity, Mindset & Entrepreneurship

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Operator, Entrepreneur & Builder Jerry Brazie, a man who has learned many of his biggest business and life lessons the hard way.

Jerry has built, bought, and sold more than a dozen businesses generating north of $450 million in revenue. But his journey is what makes his story so remarkable.

Raised in abject poverty as number seven of nine children, Jerry faced extraordinary adversity from an early age. He was shot at, stabbed, and beaten within an inch of his life. Those experiences helped forge the relentless mindset that would ultimately drive him through decades of entrepreneurship.

Today, Jerry is running an eight-figure and a seven-figure company, while also building something new: The Kronos Group, a tight-knit peer group for serious business operators looking for direct conversations, real accountability, and practical insight from people who have actually been in the arena.

We get into entrepreneurship, business growth, leadership, overcoming adversity, business mindset, buying and selling companies, building wealth, accountability, resilience, and the hard lessons that come with decades in business.

Jerry Brazie is a titan with one hell of a story.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Emotional Balance Guide, author of Beyond Emotions, and creator of The Emotion Process Sophie Malahieude.

Sophie teaches that the body speaks before the mind understands. Her work helps people learn to listen to those signals, allowing emotions to become a source of clarity rather than confusion.

Managing Director Robbie Mould on Turning Interest Into Clients | Coaching, Marketing & AI Search

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Robbie Mould, Managing Director of Mativus, about helping experienced coaches turn the interest they are already creating into more of the right client conversations.

Robbie is the creator of the Interest-to-Client Framework, a practical approach designed to help coaches better connect their websites, marketing, and digital presence with the clients they actually want to work with.

We get into websites, ethical marketing, AI search, digital strategy, technology, coaching business growth, client acquisition, and how coaches can grow without feeling pushy or salesy.

Over the years, Robbie noticed the same problem with many talented and experienced coaches: they were doing all the things they had been told to do, but all that activity wasn't necessarily turning into the number—or quality—of clients they expected. His work focuses on closing that gap and creating a clearer path from attention and interest to meaningful client conversations.

We get into his work, the Interest-to-Client Framework, the changing world of AI search, building an effective online presence, and much more.

Enjoy this interview.

Acclaimed Pianist Armen Donelian | Inquiry, His 15th Album & a Four-Year Creative Journey

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Armen Donelian, discussing his remarkable 2026 album Inquiry. With Inquiry, Donelian takes another bold creative step on his 15th album, released by Sunnyside Records. The project is the result of a four-year studio process that was carefully conceived, patiently developed and painstakingly executed — ultimately becoming one of the most distinctive and introspective recordings of his long career.

The story behind the album is just as fascinating as the music.

Inquiry began as a series of unaccompanied demo recordings featuring Donelian's newest compositions and arrangements. From that stripped-down beginning, the project continued to evolve, transforming into a haunting and deeply reflective work with little precedent in his extensive body of music.

In this wide-ranging Neon Jazz conversation, we get into the making of Inquiry, the evolution of the project from its original demos, Donelian's creative process, composition, arranging, recording and the many ideas that shaped this extraordinary new chapter.

It's a conversation about patience, experimentation, artistic evolution and what can happen when a musician gives an idea the time and space it needs to become something much larger.

The Lost Roy Harris Trombone Symphony Comes to Life | Jim Pugh & Jim Anderson on New American Symphonies

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with GRAMMY-winning Engineer & Producer Jim Anderson and Distinguished Trombonist, Composer & Educator Jim Pugh on New American Symphonies.

We get into their work on this remarkable project, which reunites two old friends and brings a long-abandoned piece of American musical history back to life.

New American Symphonies features the first-ever recording of Roy Harris's long-lost Trombone Symphony, a major work written for legendary trombonist and bandleader Tommy Dorsey in 1938. The piece was abandoned after a single rehearsal and remained unheard for nearly 90 years.

Decades later, Jim Pugh discovered the missing work in the Library of Congress and reconstructed the score for this recording, giving Roy Harris's Trombone Symphony a new life through a remarkable modern recording.

Jim Anderson brings his extraordinary experience as a GRAMMY-winning engineer and producer to the project, while Pugh's decades as a trombonist, composer and educator provide a unique connection to the music. Pugh's career includes more than 4,000 recording sessions with artists including Steely Dan, Yo-Yo Ma, Philip Glass, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd and Frank Sinatra.

In this conversation, we explore the story behind New American Symphonies, Roy Harris, Tommy Dorsey, the discovery and reconstruction of the Trombone Symphony, recording technology, orchestral music, jazz, trombone and the extraordinary process of bringing forgotten American music back into the world.

We cover the whole project and so much more.

Enjoy this interview.

Author & Physicist Randy Lyman on Emotional Intelligence, Leadership & 30x Business Growth  

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Physicist & Entrepreneur Randy Lyman. 

Most leadership advice focuses on strategy, systems and execution. Randy Lyman explores what can determine whether those strategies actually work: the emotional patterns driving leaders beneath the surface.

Randy helps CEOs, founders and business owners use emotional intelligence as a practical operating system for better decision-making, stronger team dynamics, healthier workplace cultures and sustainable business growth.

His approach is rooted in his own journey. As Randy developed greater emotional awareness and addressed unconscious triggers influencing his decisions, communication and relationships, his companies experienced more than 30x growth.

In this conversation, we explore emotional intelligence, leadership, entrepreneurship, business growth, decision-making, communication, company culture and the often-overlooked emotional forces shaping how leaders operate.

This is a story about looking beneath the traditional formulas for success and understanding how greater emotional awareness can transform the way leaders build companies, relationships and their own lives.

Author & Developer John Wylie on the Unified Absorption Model, Hypnosis & Lasting Change

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Hypnotherapist, Author & Developer of the Unified Absorption Model John Wylie. John's Unified Absorption Model is a framework for understanding how attention, emotion, identity and automatic patterns shape human experience and change.

Drawing on more than two decades of clinical work, John explores why anxiety, addiction, habits, trauma responses and personal transformation are not simply matters of willpower. His work brings together hypnosis, psychology, neuroscience and real-world behavior change to explore how people become stuck, why insight alone may not be enough, and how lasting change can become possible when attention, emotion, expectation and identity begin working together.

In this conversation, we get into the origins of the Unified Absorption Model, hypnotherapy, the psychology of change, automatic behavior, attention, emotion, identity, anxiety, habits, addiction and the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind.

From his base in Boise, Idaho, John shares the full story behind his work and his approach to understanding how people can change deeply rooted patterns.

Ryan Barry Interview | If I Did Not Speak Out, Brooklyn Jazz & New Music

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Brooklyn-based jazz saxophonist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Barry.

We dig into his compelling new 2026 album If I Did Not Speak Out and the artistic world behind it. This is an album that captures Ryan at a defining moment — bringing together lyrical tenor saxophone playing, original compositions and a close-working quintet for a concise statement filled with warmth, reflection and conviction.

Ryan's music draws from the language of modern jazz while maintaining a deeply lyrical and contemporary voice. His connection to improvisation began early, eventually leading him to discover jazz while performing in his university big band. That experience helped set the course for a career built around composition, collaboration, exploration and the constant pursuit of a distinctive musical voice.

In this wide-ranging Neon Jazz conversation, we talk about If I Did Not Speak Out, Ryan's development as a saxophonist and composer, his approach to improvisation, the chemistry of his quintet, the Brooklyn jazz scene, his multi-instrumental work and the experiences that have shaped his music.

It's a conversation about finding your voice, trusting your artistic instincts and creating music that has something meaningful to say.

Dig into the music. Dig into the story. And dig the jazz, my friends.
