Episode Summary:
Travis Meltzer sits with Nadine Bubeck, ex-TV anchor turned mompreneur and owner of Paradise Valley City Lifestyle magazine. She shares her elementary-school manifestation (Katie Couric + fashion mag), post-bedrest pivot from news to launching a business overnight, and acquiring a sleepy local pub to build a multimedia community platform. Nadine reveals cover-hunting hustle (Tyson to Phelps to Booker), why she annoys celebs into “yes,” and her no-niche partnership loyalty. Grounded by three boys and a “why” of modeling creativity, she teases 2026 youth initiative + niche events.
