Episode Description
Member Tony Christ has never waited for permission to build what’s next. From house parties during the housing crisis to producing large-scale events across Sacramento, Vegas, and LA, he’s spent 15 years turning instinct into impact, and redefining what an experience can be. His path has been shaped by knowing when to evolve, trusting his perspective, and acting before there’s any proof it will work.
Now, as CEO of H.E.R.E. Passport, he’s taking that mindset global, reimagining community as something you design, not something you inherit. In this conversation, he shares what it takes to build from nothing, how to recognize your own ceilings before they become limits, and why the most meaningful experiences are built with intention from the start.
“The party is what people see. But it’s like a Broadway production — we build up all these things for this experience, and people don’t just watch it. They come in and live it.”
