About this episode

In this episode, we dive deep into the journey of Keven Undergaro, the visionary founder of After Buzz TV, and explore the intersections of failure, success, and the courage to pursue one's dreams against all odds. 

From facing the fear of failure head-on to pioneering in the digital media landscape with the world's first after-show platform, Keven's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Alongside hosts Chris and Ryan, Keven shares not just his triumphs but the painful lows of his career, including financial ruin and starting over from scratch. 

This episode is a powerful reminder that true success is not measured by wealth or fame, but by the lives we touch and the difference we make in the world. 

Facing Fears Can Lead To Innovation: The importance of facing fear and stepping into the unknown to fill a void can transform your thinking.

The Power of Resilience: Return to basics to help rebuild,  resilience and determination can turn even the most significant failures into opportunities for growth.

The Importance of Supporting Others: Keven's dedication to mentoring and supporting emerging talent, including his wife Maria and stars like Mercedes Monet (Sasha Banks), showcases the impactful role of guidance and mentorship in the entertainment industry.

Redefining Success: Success isn't about accumulating wealth or accolades but about making a positive impact on others' lives, fostering a community, and helping others achieve their dreams.

The Journey of Self-Discovery: Personal and professional experiences can reveal the profound journey of self-discovery and the realization that true fulfillment comes from lifting others up.
