Ron and I talked about what it's going to be like for Trekkies attending this year's convention to be smack-dab in the middle of the action.

Formula 1 is considered to be one of the premier forms of auto racing. The cars are the fastest regulated road-racing cars in the world with top speeds upwards of 350 km/h (215 mph).
F1 is also one of the richest sports in the world; with 22 races scattered across the globe, F1 reported over $2.1 BILLION in revenue in 2021 and it's not uncommon for the top drivers in the sport to earn well over $100 Million per year in salary alone.
So with all that money flying around, is it any wonder that Las Vegas wants a piece of that pie?
On March 30, 2022 the FIA and Formula 1, along with the City of Las Vegas & the State of Nevada, announced one of the worst kept secrets in motorsports: Formula 1 would be hitting Sin City in 2023.
My guest for this episode of the podcast is Todd McCandless (aka "Negative Camber" aka "the Chief Opinion Officer") from The Parc Ferme Podcast, a long-running F1-centered podcast that goes in-depth into the world of Formula 1.
Todd and I talked about the rising interest in F1 in the United States, the so-called "Drive to Survive" effect on the sport and we took a deep dive into the upcoming F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, sharing our opinions on the track layout as well as the impact the race will have on the city - both positive and negative.
For all the latest from the world of Formula 1 Racing, go check out the Parc Ferme website, follow the Parc Ferme on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, and check out the Parc Ferme Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Crypto Currency...Block Chain...Non-Fungible Tokens...Alt-Coins...
If you've been paying attention to financial news over the last few years, these are likely all terms that you've heard mentioned...but what the HELL are they? And how do they relate to Las Vegas?
My guest for this episode is going to do his best to break it all down for us in the simplest terms possible.
Making his second appearance on the podcast is Jake Gallen. Jake previously hosted a podcast called "The Guest List" where he interviewed Las Vegas creators, leaders & entrepreneurs. In early 2022, Jake re-branded and shifted focus to the world of Crypto & NFT's. He also founded a Crypto Consultation Firm called Nativ Research & has become heavily involved in the Las Vegas Crypto scene.
Jake & I connected on my last trip to Las Vegas and he was kind enough to explain what Crypto Currency is and how it works, what an NFT is & how they're currently being used, and we talked about the potential future for crypto & NFT's in the world of Las Vegas.
If you want to know more, be sure to visit Jake's Website and take a listen to the Jake Gallen Podcast. Also, be sure to follow Jake on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Anyone who's a frequent visitor to Las Vegas knows it's a city in a constant state of flux and, thanks to some changes in resort ownership along with a few re-brands & major overhauls, the Vegas strip is likely going to look very different in the coming years.
Joining me for this episode to discuss some of these upcoming changes is fellow creator and travel blogger, Adam Bauer - aka "Travel Fanboy". Adam got his start blogging about Las Vegas and has since expanded his horizons to include travel in general.
Adam & I shared our opinions on what we think the effects of these changes will be, what a volcano-less strip would look like, and we even dove into unfamiliar territory - rumours and speculation - regarding potential changes at the Tropicana.
Make sure you go ahead and follow Adam on Twitter & Facebook and be sure to check out the official Travel Fanboy website.
