Barry Shore welcomes longtime friend and serial entrepreneur DR Rawson for a wide-ranging conversation about Las Vegas TV Network, leadership principles, and the power of putting others first. DR Rawson is the president of Las Vegas TV Network, a media platform with a reach of around 300 million potential viewers that delivers six-minute storytelling segments under the tagline all Vegas, all the time, and more. He explains how the network evolved from a production company into a full media outlet helping individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses share their stories and establish authority.
The conversation takes a meaningful turn when DR Rawson introduces CIC Global Leadership Institute and its foundational formula: character plus integrity equals credibility. He makes the case that lack of engagement in the workplace is costing businesses and economies trillions of dollars, and that the solution starts with one word: respect. When leaders genuinely respect every person they encounter, trust follows, and engaged teams naturally drive better results for clients and companies alike.
DR Rawson also opens up about a personal turning point at age 25 when his wife challenged him to stop running and start genuinely caring for others. That moment of reflection led him to flip the switch from a scarcity mindset to a service mindset, asking how can I be helpful rather than what can I get. Barry connects this to his own childhood lesson from his father about the word business, where the U comes before the I, meaning serving others always comes first.
DR Rawson is a serial entrepreneur with over five decades of experience building and reviving companies, a licensed minister, and the co-founder of CIC Global Leadership Institute, which delivers leadership development programs worldwide including a keynote at the first-ever African Leadership Conference in Rwanda.
