00:00Congratulations on being named Executive of the Year at the Billboard Country Power Player Awards.

00:05I was there at Stagecoach this year, and just the amount of genres and music that you guys had from,

00:12you had Jelly Roll, you had Lana Del Rey, you had Backstreet Boys.

00:16What is it like putting that type of a wide-ranging of curation together?

00:21I mean, I think every year is a new adventure.

00:23It's quite literally country A to Z, and like non-country, one to a hundred.

00:32We like to celebrate all the genres of country music, people who have been there with us from the beginning,

00:40as well as usher in all the exciting new voices, and have as much fun as possible.

00:46That's always the goal out at Stagecoach.

00:48I was also there a couple of years ago when Zach Ryan was on the Palomino stage.

00:52Obviously, this year, he was on the main stage.

00:55Can you talk about taking an artist that you see that early on, that you believe in,

01:00and helping them rise to the ranks like that?

01:01What is that like?

01:02I mean, I'm glad you asked that question, because it's literally my favorite thing about Stagecoach.

01:09You have someone like Zach Ryan, who is an absolute rocket ship.

01:14You know, we knew it from the second we booked him.

01:16We were so early on.

01:18By the time Stagecoach played off, and he was in Palomino, like, he was a bona fide superstar.

01:24And then, fast forward to now, having him headline the main stage.

01:28But the best part is, from Palomino stage to main stage, we've had the pleasure to work with him on his journey,

01:36getting to work with him outside of the festival space, on his touring, and all these amazing moments.

01:42But that's the biggest joy about Stagecoach, is watching these artists grow with us.

01:49But also, shine a little light on your team.

01:52I mean, putting together something like this is not something that one person can do alone.

01:56Shine a little light on your team that helps you put all of this together.

01:58I mean, that's my favorite thing to do.

02:00I mean, I get to stand here, and I get to be here and accept this award.

02:05But I'm representing such a hard-working, dedicated team, and so many people have been with the company for so long.

02:14And, you know, special props to my ride-or-die, Sabrina Sarmiento over there.

02:20She's my partner in crime.

02:22And, you know, her and so many people on the team, everybody just flexes their muscles, uses their expertise,

02:31and cares so much, and is so dedicated.

02:35And, you know, it's obviously just a culmination of all of us.

02:40Well, and one last question, too.

02:42As Stagecoach continues to evolve, what do you think it will look like next year or five years from now?

02:47I mean, the best thing about Stagecoach is it's organically grown and ebbed and flowed.

02:58I think if I tried to guess what it would be like in five years, I might miss out on some really fun stuff along the way.

03:05So I just take it year by year and see what's available and see what's happening and make a few predictions

03:13and just take it gradually and slowly year by year because I just, I don't want to miss out on anything

03:20because I set my sights too specifically on something.

03:24I like slow, organic growth.

03:27I love it.

03:28Well, thank you so much.

03:29Congratulations.

03:30Very deserving of this.
