The Debbie Nigro Show
On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of spotlighting Simon Cascante, founder of Montaukila Tequila. Boy oh boy his story sure is a shining example of one of my favorite sayings - “Risk It! or Regret It!" Simon skipped college, started bussing tables at the Lobster Roll in East Hampton, and took the long road to launching his own spirit’s brand. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just grit, Google, and a dream. That persistence led him to cold-call nearly a dozen distilleries in Mexico until one finally said yes—thanks to a VP who had once vacationed in...

Happy summer, friends! You know I love the beach, but nothing freaks me out more than riptides. With Hurricane Erin stirring up the East Coast, I called in my go-to water safety guy — Wyatt Werneth, spokesperson for the American Lifeguard Association. I call him the James Bond of lifeguards … because, well, he is. Wyatt literally jumped off the beach in Cocoa Beach, Florida to join me on the show. His first tip? “Everywhere there’s a dip, there’s a rip.” Translation: If the water keeps rushing in and your blanket, toys, and beach bag get soaked while...

Good energy is like a secret superpower. You can’t see it—but you feel it. It uplifts, comforts, and lingers long after the moment has passed. I’ve been told I carry that kind of energy—and if you do too, you know it’s not something you turn on, it’s just who you are. But here’s the best part: when two people with good energy meet along life’s path, something special happens. It’s like the universe nods and says… 'Yep, this connection matters.' That’s the vibe of today’s post and podcast. I’d like you to meet Marcus John. He is ‘good energy’. He and I go...

Luxury, Innovation, and Popcorn? Yes, Please. On this Trending Tuesday episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I’m spilling the popcorn on a jaw-dropping new addition to one of my longtime favorite iconic hotels, the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut. Shawn Nayyar, the hotel’s new General Manager, joined me in studio to talk about the Townsend Cinema, a first-of-its-kind 40-seat luxury movie theater built right inside the hotel—a concept developed by Monoplex and Trinity Investments, now brought to life at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. "We’re the first in the country to have...

Ever dreamed of jamming with rock legends like Ringo Starr, Gene Simmons, or Alice Cooper? David Fishof — legendary music producer, sports agent, and founder of Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has been making those dreams come true for 25 years and counting. On this episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, it was an absolute blast welcoming David to share his wild ride from managing NFL stars to organizing epic jam sessions for everyday rockers. (And yes, he created Ringo’s All-Starr Band!) “It’s my fantasy to change people’s lives through the power of music,” David said. And wow, he...

Live Theater Is Having a Wonderful Resurgence - Wait Till You Hear About Its Next Act! On a recent episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I caught up with longtime pal, producer and innovator Paul Lambert about an exciting new chapter in entertainment: iStage. What makes iStage so unique? It’s the first community-first approach to building musicals—blending digital engagement with the magic of live performance. Instead of starting with a script and hoping people show up, iStage builds a community around a topic first, then creates a...

Kathy McShane is Empowering Women Entrepreneurs 50+ to Embrace the Future On a recent episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I was thrilled to welcome back longtime friend and unstoppable force in women’s entrepreneurship, Kathy McShane. Kathy is the founder of Ladies Launch with AI, a three-time business founder, and the former head of the U.S. SBA Office of Women’s Business Ownership. These days, she’s on a mission to help women—especially over 50—leverage AI to start and scale businesses faster, smarter, and with more confidence. “AI doesn’t have emotions,” Kathy...

As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show Sometimes it really helps to just talk to other caring people about whatever you’re going through. Now there’s a place where you can. I had a talk with Scott Kelsey, the incredibly resilient Founder & CEO of Shareapy—about his groundbreaking wellness platform born from personal tragedy and built to foster connection, healing, and personal growth. After a life-altering fall down a staircase left him with a traumatic brain injury, Scott found himself forced to hit pause—and reflect. "I had to isolate, be in a dark room, and let my brain...

As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show There's a hot new real estate migration trend picking up steam among Northeasterners and former Floridians: they’re becoming “Halfbacks”—people who moved to Florida, found it a little too much (too hot, too humid, too everything), and are now settling halfway back up the East Coast. Their happy medium? Coastal North Carolina. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I got the inside scoop from Jason Faulkner, General Manager of Kingfish Bay Development in Calabash, NC—one of the fastest-growing destinations for these lifestyle-minded movers that's just minutes...

This story of mind-blowing resilience is a wake-up call for anyone feeling stuck, sidelined, or afraid to bounce back. On a recent episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the joy of speaking with global wellness pioneer Dan Metcalf—international performer turned brain-injury survivor, Olympic coach, and now CEO of Total Balance Company and Born Superhuman. Hard to believe this superhuman got in touch with me to see if I was interested in uncovering how we could inspire listeners together. Here’s what I read when I opened his blind email to me. Hey Debbie. “I've...

Introducing my brand-new short-form syndicated radio feature:
“Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro”
Proudly sponsored by NativePath Collagen — the stuff that’s got me hiking again, baby!
For the past 6 months, I’ve been secretly developing this new ‘thing’’. Figuring out what it should be, how it should sound, and who would be open enough to collaborate with me.
Why this, why now?
Lately, I’ve found myself diving into wellness like never before. Not just for fun (though some of it is hilarious), but because my biological clock feels more like a ticking time bomb these days.
I’m trying to maximize my remaining time on this planet as are many other people I know.
I’m constantly researching and talking about mental wellness, physical wellness, nutrition, longevity, and all the weird and wonderful science behind staying vibrant and ALIVE. And sharing it all on my “Wellness Wednesday” segments of The Debbie Nigro Show just wasn’t enough anymore.
So, I created this new feature — fast-moving, funny, and full of fascinating wellness info — to syndicate nationwide.
AND I’m testing it out in real time.
The Launch 🚀
On Monday, April 7th, I debuted the first of my four “Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” features each which will air 1x a day for 7 days across multiple network shows on the Red Apple Audio Network and its Flagship Station WABC Radio NY. The feature gets personally introduced by high-profile hosts — which, I admit, after listening in from the oustide - gave me a huge kick! (So did all the random high-five texts I got from friends who happened to catch it on-air!)
Enter: NativePath Collagen.
This best-in-class wellness brand stepped up as my first sponsor. And I’m genuinely grateful — not just because they’re backing me, but because their product really works. (More on that below…)
Ready to hear the very first radio feature?
Take a listen and PUHHHLEASE BUY THE COLLAGEN!
It works! and it helps support my good work!

OK Here’s the transcript of Feature #1
Announcer:
Now here’s “Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” sponsored by NativePath Collagen.
Debbie:
Ever wake up one day and feel like you aged overnight?
You're not imagining it. You did. (lol)
Scientists have now confirmed what we've all suspected. We age in bursts, not slowly, not gradually, but in molecular surprise parties, just without the balloons.
According to research in the Journal of Nature Aging, we hit two major aging jumps, one around 44, another around 60.
That's when your body suddenly goes, Surprise! Here's some wrinkles, and here's maybe a weird pain in your knee.
Researchers followed 108 people for years looking at their DNA, their proteins, even their gut microbiomes. And they found most molecules in the body change in big, accelerated shifts at those exact ages.
In our 40s, fat and muscle start to shift. In our 60s, we start losing more muscle and the risk for things like heart disease and diabetes spikes. Okay, there's good news. Now that we know this, science can help us catch problems earlier and keep us healthier longer. So, if you're 43 or 59, what I would do is… hydrate, stretch, and hang on. I'm Debbie Nigro.
LIVE ENDORSEMENT FOR NATIVEPATH COLLAGEN
Debbie:
I always joke that I'm delusionally young and outrageously fun.
Truth is, I'm blowing a body part a week over here. No joke.
Stopped mid-hike, limped out of the woods alone while my boyfriend kept going because my knee was killing me.
I thought about collagen, and I caught an old friend in a Native Path collagen ad raving about how her knees felt better. She had more energy, her hair, her nails, her skin looked amazing.
So, I got some, started putting it in my coffee every day.
No taste, no lumps.
Now I'm back, walking strong, full of energy.
