About Before We Cheers: Emotional Truths Before the Toast
Before We Cheers is a podcast about the moments before celebration—the breath before the toast, the text you almost sent, the version of you still deciding if it belongs. Join Zach Miller as he explores identity, memory, reinvention, taste, and emotional truth through solo episodes, guest interviews, and cultural commentary. It’s not about spiraling—it’s about noticing the quiet stuff before the loud moments. If you’ve ever cried in the Uber, reconsidered your aesthetic, or saved a voice memo you never sent, this is for you. Before the performance, there’s a pause. And Before we cheers.
The Business AI Can't Replace | Nathaniel Hill on Broadway, Luxury, and The VIP Effect
What makes someone feel like a VIP? Nathaniel Hill thinks it has less to do with what you spend than how you make someone feel.
The Broadway Plus founder, Tony Award-winning producer, and author of The VIP Effect joins Zach Miller to talk about building a business around human connection.
We discuss the idea behind Broadway Plus, rebuilding during the shutdown, the difference between expensive and meaningful, and what to do when an experience goes wrong. Nathaniel also shares the five Cs he uses to think about experience design.
Before We Cheers is hosted by Zach Miller. New episode every week.
