55. What Makes It Electric? — Greg Miller on Dance, Leadership & Building a Brand
What Makes It Electric? — Greg Miller on Dance, Leadership & Building a Brand
Sometimes the most interesting people I meet start out as nothing more than a name on my Uber screen.
That’s how I met Greg Miller, founder and Executive Director of Dance Parade New York. Greg got into my car in Philadelphia, we started talking, and—as usually happens with me—I got curious.
In this episode of the Electric Pete Podcast, Greg shares how a career in corporate America eventually led him to follow his passion and help create Dance Parade New York. What began with dance advocacy grew into an organization that has spent nearly 20 years bringing people together through dance, education and community.
But our conversation went well beyond the parade.
Greg and I talked about what it takes to build something from an idea, finding funding, surrounding yourself with the right people, learning to give others ownership, and the challenge founders face when they're used to doing everything themselves.
We also talked about the possibility of bringing Dance Parade to Philadelphia—and about some lessons that hit particularly close to home for me as I continue building Electric Pete.
One of Greg’s pieces of advice was simple:
“Build your brand.”
Then he asked a question that stuck with me:
“What makes it electric?”
His answer? “It’s your energy.”
And there was one more lesson that came out of our conversation: follow up. Meeting someone is only the beginning. What you do with that connection afterward is what can turn an ordinary encounter into something much bigger.
Greg Miller got into my Uber as a passenger.
One conversation led to another.

54. Her Purpose Is People: The Story of Lovey
Her Purpose Is People: The Story of Lovey
Sometimes the people you meet unexpectedly are carrying stories you never could have imagined.
I met Lovey when she got into my Uber on her way to a recording session. We started talking, and before the ride was over I knew I wanted to hear more of her story — and I wanted other people to hear it too.
Lovey is a Philadelphia-area singer and performer whose life is rooted in family, faith and music. In this conversation, she shares her account of a devastating medical crisis, major surgery, cancer, recovery, and the spiritual experience she says changed the way she looks at her life and purpose.
But this episode is about much more than survival.
Lovey explains how her experience deepened her faith and changed the way she connects with audiences. One of the most powerful realizations she shares is that music itself is not her purpose — people are. Music is simply what gets her in front of them.
She also talks about the people who approach her after performances, how she uses her story to encourage others, her return to writing and recording, and why one simple word — “through” — has become such an important part of the way she looks at difficult times.
In this episode:
Lovey’s musical roots and 30 years of performing
Her account of the medical crisis that nearly took her life
Faith, forgiveness and the experience she says changed everything
Becoming cancer-free and returning to the stage
Why she believes her purpose is people
How music can become a form of healing and ministry
The people who have approached her after performances
Returning to songwriting and new musical opportunities
Her fears of failure and being forgotten
Why she believes if you’ve made it through before, you can make it through again

53. I Finally understand what Electric Pete is!
I Finally Get It: The People I Meet
Something clicked for me this week.
I spend a lot of time driving around Philadelphia, and every day people get into my car carrying lives, experiences, struggles, successes, ideas, and stories that I know absolutely nothing about when the ride begins.
Sometimes all it takes is a conversation.
In this episode, I talk about a realization I’ve been slowly working toward: Electric Pete may be less about me having something to say and more about discovering the people I meet and helping some of them tell their stories.
A recent encounter brought that idea into focus. One ride became a conversation. That conversation became an invitation to sit down behind the microphone. And suddenly, The People I Meet meant something different to me.
There are extraordinary stories hiding inside seemingly ordinary encounters.
You just have to keep your ears open.
In this episode:
Why The People I Meet is becoming a bigger part of Electric Pete
What I’ve discovered by talking with people in my car
Why listening and asking one more question can matter
How an unexpected encounter can become something much bigger
Why somebody else’s story might help someone listening to their own
The podcast is a vehicle.
The microphone is a vehicle.
Sometimes even the car is a vehicle.
The people are the point.
Real people. Real stories.
I’m Electric Pete — and I think we’re just getting started.
