We sit down with video game rocker Jules Conroy, better known as FamilyJules, as he talks about starting a one-man band, coming up as an online star, and more! FamilyJules - FamilyJules, or Jules, is an American guitarist best known for his video game music guitar arrangements on his channel at YouTube.com by the same name. He plays various instruments including Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Classical Guitar, Cello, Keyboard, and Ocarina and studied Classical Guitar in college. He has arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered over a hundred covers and medleys of his favorite video game music into various genres such as Rock, Metal, Acoustic, and even Ska, Reggae, and Jazz. When he isn't playing guitar he enjoys playing video games on his live Twitch.Tv channel so he can try new games and talk to his fans live and answer any questions they have. Jules will always describe himself as a musician before he’s a gamer, but obviously, he held a controller years before he held a guitar. Even though he was born on June 11th, 1991, his first experiences with video games were playing the NES and Atari. His first game ever was the original Super Mario Bros. and soon moved on to games like The Legend of Zelda and Castlevania. He then played games for the Nintendo 64 for many years, even after the GameCube and other consoles came out. His favorite games to this day remain The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, and Jet Force Gemini. Subscribe and follow for more captivating stories!

We have Mr. Invincible himself as we are joined by Vince Papale! He sits down and talks about the movie based on his life, life after football, what he is up to now and more! Vince Papale- The year 1976 was a time when Philadelphia fans were buried in 11 years of defeat when Americans were battling the lingering effects of Watergate, the Vietnam War, and a sweeping energy crisis. Ordinary people appeared badly in need of a champion from their ranks, and this local schoolteacher/coach answered their call. Vince Papale did the unthinkable and took on an insurmountable challenge making the Philadelphia Eagles. Re-inventing himself from a 30-year schoolteacher, who did not play football in college, to an NFL star, Vince Papale defied the million-to-one odds against him. Not only did he make the team, but he was voted by his teammate's Captain of the Special Teams and most recently was selected by the fans as the best Special Teamer in the Eagle's 75-year history. So incredible is his journey that Disney felt compelled to tell his Invincible story on the silver screen with 'Invincible' starring Mark Wahlberg. Now, Vince has evolved into one of the most sought-after speakers in the USA, bringing inspiration to anyone who may need it! Subscribe and follow for more captivating stories!
