Talks with Tez is a podcast about all things healing and life-related, covering topics from trauma and relationships all the way to hot topics in the latest entertainment and everything in between. It’s a podcast where we have conversations that evoke laughter, tears, and happiness, a place where we celebrate our wins and acknowledge our failures, but grow from each of them. It’s a place where we talk about life.
I decided to cultivate this brand to encompass life as we know it. I think the biggest thing as an entertainer at least for me is being relatable and people understanding that we all have the same lives and how our experiences really shape each other vantage point. When I sing a song I get to express my true feelings, whether that be sadness, happiness, loneliness, or joy and I want to do the same and every other art form that I choose to dabble in just a better place for everybody.

Multi-talented artist, actor, and songwriter Cortez Shaw presents a musical style that blends authentic R&B with catchy pop hooks and unforgettable melodies. His voice, characterized by soulful nuances and a commanding upper register, has earned praise from some of the best-selling artists in history, such as Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.
Cortez Shaw debuted his first single, "Burn," a song he crafted in collaboration with producers Jalex and Taji Ausar (known for their collaborations with Kehlani, Usher, Ne-Yo), Grammy-nominated mix engineer Beau Vallis (renowned for his work with Pharrell, Kelly Rowland), and Grammy-winning mastering engineer Randy Merrill (credited with works by Chris Brown, Mark Ronson, Justin Bieber).

My name is Redd & I am not your typical content creator. I have been streaming at Disneyland Park for about 2 years. I love streaming the parks because it’s not about being the loudest, it’s not about making content, & it’s not about the new in thing. I took my Cast Member experience with Disney history sprinkling in our own twist on a fun fact. It’s been a great way to just hangout, learn the ways of Disney or plan your trip by utilizing as much as possible.

I'm Sarah, the Disney Mom!
I'm a mom of two great kids and a small business owner from Northern California. I make videos sharing tips, tricks, and things I have learned going to Disneyland over the years. I share hotel reviews, food and drink favorites, and easy-to-follow information regarding the parks to help others make the most of their trip. I am not a Disneyland local, and I am not a travel agent - I make these videos for fun! I enjoy meeting other Disney friends and experiencing new things around the parks. I just want to help other people make the most of their trip while possibly learning something new myself.

My name is Ben. I was born and raised in Florida, so theme park trips were somewhat frequent growing up. The older I got, the more interested in the parks I became. I took plenty of solo trips to theme parks when none of my friends wanted to or could come with me.
I started taking pictures while inside the parks and decided to start some social media accounts sharing my adventures. After a little over a year, I decided to start making videos of my trips and favorite attractions to post on YouTube. That’s when the brand really started to take off.
It’s wild that I get to go to my favorite places, talk about them in videos and connect with other park passionate people… for a living. My 10 year old self would be absolutely stoked. Haha!
