Getting Sparked With AMP Multi Media|

Every Tuesday Night in Branson Starting This August

Starting this August, every Tuesday night from 6 to 10 PM, AMP Multi Media LLC is hosting a brand-new weekly event in Branson, Missouri—and you’re invited.

We’re calling it what it is: a free, laid-back, come-as-you-are meet-and-greet, held at the Denny’s on Highway 76. There’s no charge to attend—just grab your own food or drinks if you’re hungry—and come hang out with good people, good vibes, and real conversations.

This isn’t a networking event, not in the traditional sense. It’s something a little deeper, a little wilder, and a lot more fun.

Here’s how it breaks down:

We kick off each week with a 30-minute live podcast featuring conversations with folks I’ve come across who’ve done some fascinating things—not because they’re trying to go viral, but because they dared to embrace their spark. These aren’t just interviews. These are transmissions of truth. Why do they do what they do? What keeps them going? What lights them up? That’s the soul of it. The rest of the night is open mic—but not just for musicians. Sing, play, dance, read, tell a story, share a joke, or just be present. You don’t have to “perform” to participate. You just have to show up and be you.

And here’s the part that matters most:

We’re doing this to broadcast the spark.

To capture and share these real human moments on social media and beyond—because when you share your spark, you help others find theirs.

Why This Matters to Me

For the past 17 years—though the seed was planted long before that—my life’s work has revolved around telling stories, broadcasting good, and helping others reconnect with something real inside themselves. It started accidentally with television. It evolved through radio, promotions, toys, books, podcasts… and now, this.

And as I stand here today, I can tell you I’ve only got one thing for sale:

My book, Toys Are Totems.

But even that’s not about the book. It’s about you.

It’s about helping you remember who you were before the world told you who to be. It’s about revisiting your childhood not to escape—but to reawaken. To reconnect with the part of you that still wants to play, still wants to create, still wants to be.

Because nostalgia, when left unchecked, can become a trap.

But when harnessed properly—it becomes a time machine, a mirror, and a source of power.

I used toys to do that.

You might use music, writing, cooking, crafting, parenting, collecting, or a business you built from scratch.

Doesn’t matter what the form is.

What matters is the spark.

The 4 Steps That Changed Everything

I’ve mapped out the process like this:

Identify your spark Nurture it Apply it Thrive from it

That’s the rhythm that carried me through some of the darkest days of my life—and the highest highs too. When life gets messy, uncertain, or brutally unfair, those four words have always led me back to myself.

That’s the path I’m walking for the rest of my life.

And it’s the same path I’m inviting you to walk alongside me, every Tuesday night, starting this August.

So What’s the Plan?

We’re launching this as a 13-week season, running from August through October.

Come once or come every week.

Share your story.

Hear someone else’s.

Get inspired.

Make new friends.

Have some pancakes and laugh your ass off.

Sing a song.

Plug your book or your business.

Or just sit back and soak it all in.

Because life’s too short not to play.

And this is how we do it—together.

Can’t wait to see you. Can’t wait to hear you. And can’t wait to watch you come alive.

Stay sparked,
