Dominique Wilkins
NBA Hall of Famer · Roots Partner

Flora Amiri
Founder · Brow Arc & FLORA Beauty

Mason Maggio
NASCAR Driver
NASCAR's Next Rookie of the Year
Rookie of the Year at Hickory, a NASCAR Truck Series debut, an Xfinity Series ride — on paper it reads like a fast track. What it leaves out is a kid from Palm Beach Gardens with no racing family, who turned karting into a career on preparation alone, with his father Tony in his corner the whole way. He sat down with Trixy Castro to finally tell it.

Sam Rockwell
CEO & Co-Founder, Happi Co · Consumer Brand Innovator
The Man Behind the Ice Cream Everyone's Talking About
By 2025 he was a Harvard Business School case study, his ice cream was in Walmart and Albertsons nationwide, and Snoop Dogg was his partner. What that skips is the decade before it — a Wisconsin grad learning brand strategy on a retail floor, with one earlier snack venture behind him before Happi Co. ever took off. He sat down with Trixy Castro to finally tell it.

Andy Levine
Founder · Sixthman
Built for Something Bigger
He was never the starter, not on the basketball team, not in the band whose shows he booked. So he named his first company Sixthman, put 400 fans on a cruise with Sister Hazel in 2001, and turned it into roughly 150 sailings before selling to Norwegian Cruise Line. Sitting down with Trixy Castro one hour before 4,600 guests arrived at his newest venue, Andy explains why the best thing he has built is the thing that no longer needs him.
