This week on Live From the Hotel Edison, owner Suzanna Bowling is honored to introduce a true American hero — Clinton Romesha.

A retired United States Army Staff Sergeant, Clint was awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military distinction, for his extraordinary bravery during the Battle of Kamdesh on October 3rd, 2009. Assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, Clint and his fellow soldiers faced an overwhelming attack by 300 Taliban insurgents at Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan.

Despite being wounded, Clint took command under fire — rallying his comrades, leading a courageous counterattack, calling in close air support, and laying down suppressive fire so the wounded could be moved to safety. His actions that day saved lives and defined what it means to serve with honor, courage, and sacrifice.

Today, Clint continues to serve — not in combat boots, but as the brand ambassador for PureTalk, a company that proudly supports the men and women who keep America running: Veterans, small business owners, farmers, truckers, tradespeople, and everyday Americans who value hard work, personal responsibility, and freedom.

PureTalk has made it their mission to give back — including eliminating $10 million in Veteran medical debt and supporting programs like America's Warrior Partnership. They also offer special discounts for our military and Veteran communities, walking the walk when it comes to patriotism and purpose.

Please join me in welcoming a decorated soldier, a dedicated leader, and a voice for everyday American values — Clint Romesha.

This week on Live From the Hotel Edison, owner Suzanna Bowling unwraps something truly special. If you've ever needed a reminder that magic still exists in this world — real, tangible, human magic — you're about to get one.

Nate has become the trusted messenger of this anonymous angel's generosity, showing up at doorsteps with tears in his eyes, cameras rolling, and checks, cars, or just kindness in hand. From grieving widows to struggling families to children facing impossible odds, these stories aren't just gifts — they're soul awakenings.

In this episode, we're going behind the scenes of one of the most powerful acts of real-life service happening in America today. So pour a cup of something warm, open your heart, and join me as we dive into the story of Secret Santa, the miracles of East Idaho, and the humble hero who brings them to light — Nate Eaton.

This week on Live From the Hotel Edison, owner Suzanna Bowling is honored to welcome EJ Stapleton to talk about his amazing story and musical The Calico Buffalo. I first met EJ when I was at the NYMTF and saw his musical The Calico Buffalo. I was enchanted and have stayed in touch during the years. I was thrilled to hear that EJ was ready to bring this musical back to life.

The Calico Buffalo—a children's book and musical adaptation that, on the surface, tells a simple story: a baby buffalo is born with multi-colored fur and is rejected by the herd for being different. But beneath its fairytale charm lies something deeper. This calico creature is not just an outsider. He is a sign. A living symbol of what happens when prophecy doesn't look like we expect—when the sacred shows up in a form we don't understand. Rejection is often the first reaction to the miraculous. So it is with truth. So it is with the buffalo. The Calico Buffalo, much like the White Buffalo of prophecy, comes as a reminder: Difference is not deformity. It is destiny.
