About this listen

The Power of Human Stories is a podcast about the lives we build, the work we pursue, and the experiences that shape how we see the world.


Hosted by Rolando Vega, owner and founder of video production company Vega Productions, each episode features an honest, unhurried conversation with creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and builders from a wide range of paths. Together, we explore where they came from, what they’ve carried with them, and how their stories continue to influence who they are becoming.


This isn’t a show about highlight reels or polished success narratives. It’s about the real journeys behind the work — the seasons of uncertainty, the turning points, the risks taken, and the moments that quietly changed everything.


Some guests work in film, music, business, education, or leadership. Others build companies, create art, or shape communities. What they share isn’t a formula, but perspective — stories in progress that reflect the complexity of real life and meaningful work.


At its core, The Power of Human Stories exists to slow things down. To listen well. To create space for conversations that often don’t happen when we’re busy performing, producing, or rushing to the next thing.


Along the way, you may recognize pieces of your own story — moments of clarity, doubt, ambition, or change — and find yourself reflecting on where you’ve been, where you are, and where you might be headed next.


These are conversations worth sitting in.
You might be surprised by the power some of these stories hold.

    This short trailer sets the foundation for The Power of Human Stories.

    Host Rolando Vega shares the journey that led to the creation of the podcast — from early days exploring short films and creative experimentation, to years of telling stories in corporate, nonprofit, church, and higher-education spaces. Along the way, one thing became clear: so many meaningful stories don’t fit neatly into short edits or highlight reels.

    This podcast is an attempt to create space for what often gets left out — the context, the humanity, and the reflection behind the work.

    In The Power of Human Stories, Rolando sits down with creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders, and builders to explore where they came from, the moments that shaped them, what they’re passionate about now, and how they’ve become who they are.

    These aren’t polished success stories. They’re honest conversations grounded in curiosity, listening, and lived experience.

    This episode introduces the heart behind the podcast and what’s to come.

    Episode 01 launches Monday, February 16th.
