From helping launch TV Land to producing major entertainment events and documentaries—including Kings From Queens (the RUN-DMC documentary series), Cooking with Paris, the Garry Marshall documentary, and productions featuring everyone from Lady Gaga to Dick Van Dyke—Raquel Bruno has built an extraordinary career behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. As the founder and CEO of Drive Entertainment Group, she's spent more than two decades connecting talent with opportunity across television, film, live events, and digital media. Outside of production, she also brings her love of music to Twitch as DJ Aviva, spinning all-vinyl DJ sets for a growing online community on DJ Aviva's Twitch channel.

In this episode, Raquel joins Adriana to share the journey that led her from MTV and Nickelodeon to launching her own production company. Together they discuss building a career through intuition, advocating for yourself, finding confidence in your worth, mentoring the next generation of creatives, and why creating opportunities for others has become one of the driving forces behind her work. Raquel also reflects on balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, staying grounded in a demanding industry, and the small, consistent actions that can lead to lasting success.

Every business has a beginning, but behind every mission is a personal story.

From finding the courage to speak after years of silence to navigating life's hardest moments, they share how vulnerability, trust, and storytelling became the foundation for a community that continues to impact lives around the world.

Together, they discuss the healing power of sharing your story, the importance of authentic relationships, overcoming self-doubt, and why trust is built through honesty—not perfection.
