In this episode, Lisa C. sits down with Shawndrell and Marcell, the creators behind Talk Derby To Me — a GlowHouse production that’s quickly becoming one of the most intentional and talked-about rooms in Santa Clarita. A sold out room of 300 professionals, business & community leaders at the Sand Canyon Country Club, Santa Clarita CA.

What started as an event has evolved into something more: a curated environment where culture, connection, and real opportunity meet.

Together, they unpack:

what was missing in Santa Clarita that led to creating this experience
how intentional curation changes the entire energy of a room
the importance of an inclusive room was the intention
why layering fashion, social moments, and experiences like the Check-In Lounge matters
and how the right room can lead to real business, collaboration, and continued relationships
This conversation goes beyond events — it’s about building spaces people actually feel, remember, and move within.

Key Takeaways:

Not all rooms are created equal — intention changes everything
Curation isn’t about exclusivity, it’s about alignment
Culture doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built
The right environment can accelerate connection and opportunity
People don’t just remember events — they remember how they felt in the room
