On this episode of To a Certain Degree, Giuliana Rossi visits the studio bright and early in the new year. On the docket? Travel mostly, with a little time set aside for millennials in the workplace, UCF’s hospitality program, and how we’re doing in the zombie demographic.
On this episode of To a Certain Degree, Nick gets a kick out of Orlando City Soccer Club’s Kaia Forgét.

On this week’s episode of To a Certain Degree, Stefanie Esquijarosa joins Nick to talk about how she ended up at the job of her dreams. As with many of these types of jobs, it wasn’t the path she’d thought she’d take at all.

“No, I’m not going to put the soap on the back burner. I’m going to take the soap off the oven, because why is it even on there in the first place? I’m going to throw it in the garbage, and I’m going to make you take out the trash.”
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and To a Certain Degree is the most important show of the day.

Oh, and racial equality.
J.B. Adams is more than a collection of letters that makes up a name on a screen or sheet of paper. He’s also a man. A man with a very good sense of humor, an incredible listener, and a very talented storyteller.
