The Santa Clarita businesses worth knowing, and the people who run them. Long-form conversations with no script and no clock, hosted by Connor MacIvor. Twenty years with LAPD taught him how to ask a real question. Seats are by invitation, and they cost nothing.
The short version: three quick, unscripted videos. Why Connor built The Honor Roll Show, how a long-form sit-down actually goes, and why local owners take the seat. Watch in order.

No script, no question list to memorize, no producer tapping a watch. We sit down for as long as it takes to get past the elevator pitch. Most episodes run forty-five minutes to an hour and change, and the best ones go longer.
Who you were before any of this existed. The job you walked away from, the thing you were supposed to do instead, the version of you nobody in this valley ever met.
The moment it got real. The risk most people would not have taken, what you were actually thinking when you took it, and who told you not to.
What it costs to keep this running. What you know now that would have saved you five years. The part that never makes it onto the website.
And then the last question. Every guest leaves one question behind for the next guest, and they never find out who it is for. It is the last thing I ask, and it is the only question I do not write. That is how the Honor Roll connects, one owner handing the next one something worth answering.
The first Santa Clarita owners are taking the seat. Season one is invitation-only, and the early guests set the tone for everything that comes after.
No prep, no pitch deck, no cost. One long conversation that turns into content you can use for years.
A polished, edited conversation about your business, published and shareable.
Short vertical clips from your episode, yours to post anywhere, no strings.
Exposure to a Santa Clarita audience that actually buys local and refers local.
You meet a guy who has run businesses in this valley for decades and actually gets it.
Twenty years with LAPD. I have taken more statements than I can count, and somewhere around year three I learned the difference between an answer and a press release. It is the most useful thing I own, and it is the whole reason this show sounds different.
Relax. Nobody leaves this one in handcuffs. The only thing you get put in is a room full of people who want to know how you pulled it off.
I am not a journalist hunting a gotcha and I am not a fan lobbing softballs. I am a business owner who has built, lost, and rebuilt things right here for more than twenty-seven years. That is why owners actually open up. The questions come from someone who has made payroll and lost sleep over the same things you do.
Every episode goes out across a network built over years. Video on YouTube, audio on every major podcast app. This is the audience your conversation walks into.
Your episode gets edited, published, and pushed to all of it. The clips are yours to keep.
The honest answers to what every owner asks before they say yes.
Any business owner or professional in or serving the Santa Clarita Valley. Trades, retail, services, restaurants, healthcare, real estate, anyone who actually runs something.
One long, unscripted conversation. We move through who you were before the business, the moment it got real, and what it actually costs to run it. No question list to memorize. Edited into a clean episode plus clips.
No. A seat is never for sale. You get an episode, clips you can use, and exposure to the local community. There is no pitch at the end.
Most guests start by telling me about their business through the form below, and I reach out personally if it is a fit. Some are people I already know and have wanted in the chair for years. Either way, the seat is given, not bought.
Please do. Use the same form and pick “I’m recommending someone else.” Tell me who they are, what they run, and how to reach them. I will contact them myself and have the conversation. Some of the best guests on any show are the ones a neighbor pointed to.
Plan on ninety minutes and you will almost certainly leave early. The conversation itself usually runs forty-five minutes to an hour and change. No prep, no script. We handle the editing and the clips.
Yes. The episode and the short clips are yours to post anywhere, no strings. Most guests run them on their own social, site, and email.
Episodes go out on YouTube and as a video podcast on the Santa Clarita AI network, with clips on Instagram, TikTok, and X.
Seats are by invitation, and this is how most of them start. Tell me about your Santa Clarita business and if it is a fit, I reach out personally and we find a date. A seat is never for sale.
Know someone who belongs here? Recommend them. Some of the best guests on any show are the ones a neighbor pointed to, not the ones who put their own hand up. Use the same form, tell me who they are, and I will reach out and have the conversation myself.
The show lives across video, podcast, and social. Plug into whichever is your thing.
