After two decades producing some of television’s biggest reality hits — America’s Got Talent, Jersey Shore, Joe Millionaire, Chrisley Knows Best — I learned something simple but profound: the best stories aren’t about fame, they’re about why. Why people dream. Why they fall. Why they get back up. That’s where the real story lives.
When the world shut down and Hollywood began to unravel, I followed love and landed in Bentonville, Arkansas — a small town that changed everything I thought I knew about community. What I found here was a place built on connection, creativity, and purpose. From the world-class art of Crystal Bridges and The Momentary, to mountain bike trails that wind through the Ozarks, to neighbors who still wave from their porches — Bentonville has become my favorite place in America.
Now, GoodTimes is where I chase that same why through the voices of the people building this new frontier — chefs, founders, artists, and dreamers who remind us that success isn’t about spotlight, it’s about story.
Because when you understand why people do what they do, you don’t just tell a story — you feel it.

Danny Collins | 37 North Unlocking the Secrets of the Ozarks
Welcome to The GoodTimes Show with your host, Damon Epps, where the stories are big and the vibes are even better.
In this special episode, we step out of the studio and into the wild with one of the most exciting voices in outdoor adventure, Danny Collins, founder of 37 North Expeditions.
Danny’s story is the real deal. From growing up in the Ozarks to living the fast-paced life in New York City and exploring the remote landscapes of Ecuador, he’s seen it all. Eventually, the mountains called him back home. Now he’s leading the charge to make the Ozarks a top destination for adventure seekers, and you’re going to want in.
Whether it's hiking, kayaking, fly fishing, mountain biking, or just finding peace and clarity in the outdoors, 37 North helps people reconnect with nature in ways that are exciting, accessible, and unforgettable.
We talk about what makes Bentonville, Arkansas, such a hidden gem, why more people are falling in love with the region, and how stepping outside might be exactly what your life’s been missing.
If you’re ready for some inspiration and a real sense of adventure, this one’s for you.
