Meet Don Rodriguez, Entrepreneur and Founder of i&i Music and Podcast Studio

Hello, and welcome to The Best Dam Podcast. This is your host Jill Lagan, CEO of the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce. We are coming to you from i&i Music and Podcast Studios in beautiful Boulder City. 
 
In each episode, we will highlight what makes Boulder City, Home of the Hoover Dam, the ideal place to operate your successful small business, explore world-class tourism attractions, and discover why we are the perfect place to live and unwind. 


Interview

On today's show, we have the pleasure of speaking with Don Rodriquez, entrepreneur and founder of i&I Music and Podcast Studios. Don is also the owner of Superior Builders, Inc and has had a few other small businesses start up and sold here in Boulder City. We lovingly call him a "serial entrepreneur".

Don has used his talents and skills to build up quite a few businesses over the years and he will share a little bit about those. However, his real love and passion (besides his wife and kids) is making music. Learn how evolved from playing in his home to building out a very professional music stage. It is Don's goal to invite more musicians to come and check out a great place to "jam" and record.


AHA Moment

Don's construction company was challenged with building out a "soundproof" room, and that engineering marvel led to building out the soundproof booth at i&i.


Key Questions that Don Answers

1. Will Don and his son have a podcast coming soon?
2. If so, what will be the format?
3. What blows Don away? Don and Lori's passion project of an "adulting class".


Stories Shared by Don

1. Don's mentor Howard Stern-well maybe not exactly.   
2. The stories of how bands get started and what makes them relatable.
3. Don's scariest moment as he and Lori rebuilt their business and lives after the great recession, "Stay In 'til 10!"
