What happens when a trailer-park kid with a camcorder, relentless hustle, and a little weed-fueled ambition dares to chase greatness?
In this episode, host Marisa Padilla flips the mic on her own producer — Jared Wigand, aka Producer WIGNZ — the creative force behind The MCP Project and a digital powerhouse who’s worked with Colorado’s biggest brands, gone viral more than once, and built not one, but two successful companies from scratch.
They talk raw:
Growing up broke and building anyway
Interning his way into KS107.5’s #1 morning show
Lessons from South Park’s original film professor
Losing everything — twice — and bouncing back stronger
Buying “I’m From Denver” and scaling a media empire
Co-founding Run Autopilot, a game-changing AI platform for creators and small businesses
It’s honest. It’s funny. It’s vulnerable. It’s everything The MCP Project stands for — mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth.
Whether you’re a content creator, entrepreneur, or just trying to make sense of your own journey, Jared’s story will remind you why you should never quit on yourself.
