The final episode of 2025 is here! Showcasing the conversation around local Entrepreneur Khalid Johnson! His company is 4PlayGlobal.com with a heart in the music industry out of New York City. He happily calls Las Vegas home for himself and his girls. His inspiring message along with the final thoughts on Valley Views for 2025 is for you!

Stay focused.

Shed the pain.

Focus on the vision.

It's okay to change.

It's ok to not be okay.

It's ok to just take care of yourself first some days.

Becoming the best version of yourself often takes the bravery to admit the faults. Seeking counseling and mentorship in business and wellness are great ways to kick of 2026 to make it the best year ever!

Thank you for all the support and looking forward to a fabulous New Year!

This episode brings Marie Valencia's story to life as a longtime Las Vegas resident she has seen the city go from small town in 1990 to a commercialized space it is today in 2025. She needs your help along with the 20 plus other Downtown Las Vegas Businesses to push for changes on the final mandatory parking changes in 18B & surrounding areas.

She is the owner of Mystic Herbs Shop and longtime advocate for women in business along with a Latina representing the Queer Community.

She is sharing her authentic space and idea on why community matters more than ever. If you have time to write the following government official's that'd be even better.

Mayor Shelly Berkley

Councilwoman Olivia Diaz (Ward #)

The City of Las Vegas

She asks to make the message clear: IF WE WANT A THRIVING ARTS & CULTURE DISTRIC, we must advocate for solutions that support the locals who make it vibrant.

Close this year out with the CALL TO ACTION. Be a leader locally in why this final straw of making the ENTIRE DOWNTOWN area PAID parking will only continue to hurt the SMALL BUSINESSES, THEATER & ART CULTURE, and push all the amazing locally owned businesses out of their spaces. What favorite restaurant or brewery is next? NOW IS THE TIME, be the VOICE and CHOICE IN CHANGE. Stand up for what makes Las Vegas great, the real artists of the city.

March to December a ton has changed, but not my love for Heels & Handshakes! This women of impact lead group are one that has held me close this year through career, personal, and self-growth changes. As the year ends, I take a little time out to share my heart to you all on why it's been so IMPORTANT to stay connected to these women and seek mentorship.

The holidays can bring the worst out in some people. Stay connected especially to your closest friends and always remember to hug your loved one's extra tight.

Thank you for all the support this year and looking forward to always sharing stories of impact, community and hospitality.
