SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, TuneIn, the world’s leader in live audio, announced a partnership with executive producer and star of Paramount Network’s “Bar Rescue” Jon Taffer to launch new original content exclusively on the platform. The lineup will include two long-form shows, “Small Business Monday” and “Las Vegas Friday.” The new shows are set to debut later this year, as part of TuneIn’s growing lineup of original co-branded content.

“There is only so much advice I can unpack in an hour on television,” said Taffer. “With decades of experience with small and large businesses, I know what it takes to succeed—and this new partnership with TuneIn takes it to the next level. This format allows for in-depth guidance and strategies for entrepreneurs, future entrepreneurs, and business lovers who really desire to dominate their space. Just as exciting, we are also launching a new show focused on my hometown and entertainment capital of the world - Las Vegas - where I get to discuss what’s happening in town, as well as share my personal thoughts and recommendations. The potential here is limitless.”

To kick off the partnership, Taffer will debut two long-form shows, with plans to expand the lineup. The initial shows include:

• Small Business Monday - This show is for entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset who wants to learn from industry pros who have built multi-million-dollar businesses. Taffer shares his own real-world experiences to help listeners build, grow, and achieve success in business. The show features interviews with industry leaders, answers questions from current and aspiring business owners, and provides guidance for entrepreneurs.
• Las Vegas Friday - Las Vegas is Taffer’s playground. As a longtime Vegas resident and hospitality expert, Taffer gives listeners exclusive insider tips and tricks to navigate the entertainment capital of the world. Taffer takes listeners on a tour of the city’s endless dining options, world-class entertainment, sports, gambling hotspots, and hidden gems to take full advantage of the city.

Taffer is a renowned hospitality and business management expert, “New York Times” best-selling author, and entrepreneur known for his no-holds-barred approach to helping hotels, restaurants, bars, and businesses reach their full potential. His most recent book, “The Power of Conflict,” provides readers with a toolkit to speak their minds to get the results they want.
