Earlier this week, I began this journey in 8th place. Today, we’re sitting at 5TH PLACE in our group! 🙌

And we’re just getting started!

This is more than a competition. It’s about a vision, a voice, and a passion for bringing people together through authentic conversations about sports, music, culture, business, and community.

As an educator, entrepreneur, DJ, sports fanatic, and lifelong storyteller, I’m ready to bring that vision to life with Cued Up: With DJ Applehead. 🎧

The goal? 🎙️ An original podcast produced by iHeartRadio, a $25,000 prize, and an opportunity to appear on On Air with Ryan Seacrest!

But the bigger mission is to create something that connects, inspires, and entertains.

❤️ Every vote matters.
📣 Every share helps.
🤝 Every supporter is part of this journey.

🗳️ VOTE EVERY 24 HOURS & HELP ME KEEP CLIMBING!

What started as a new sport just a few months ago has turned into something pretty incredible.

After receiving her first collegiate scholarship offer, @madi.quintanaathletics has now received another offer — this time from Tiffin @gotiffindragons University, a soon to be NCAA D2 school in Ohio!

Watching her jump into flag football, learn a completely new game, compete, and earn the respect of coaches has been one of the most exciting things to watch as a dad.

One determined young woman. She still has plenty of time before she makes a decision, but we are so grateful for the opportunities she has to continue playing a game she loves.

We couldn’t be more proud of you, Madi. Keep working. Keep competing. Keep believing.

The journey is just beginning. 🏈❤️

7TH PLACE. AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED. 🔥

I’m currently sitting in 7th place in the Top Host Competition, and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has helped get me here.

But for me, this is bigger than a competition.

It’s another step in the journey built around four things:

🎙️ Create — Cued Up with DJ Applehead, storytelling, music, media, and bringing ideas to life.

🎤 Lead — Sharing experiences from a career in education, business, sales, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

🤝 CONNECT — Creating conversations that bring people together through sports, music, culture, community, and the stories that make us who we are.

❤️ IMPACT — Using my voice, relationships, and experiences to leave people better than I found them.

That’s what Cued Up with DJ Applehead is all about.

It’s where the different parts of my journey come together — sports, music, culture, business, education, community, personal stories, humor, and heart.

For more than 25 years, I’ve connected with people from behind the DJ booth, in the classroom, in business, on the sidelines, and in my community.

Now I’m ready to bring those conversations to the microphone.

7th place today. Let’s see how far we can take it.

Thank you to everyone who has voted, shared, encouraged me, and believed in what I’m building.

Don’t Talk About It. Be About It.

To say I am proud and excited would be an understatement. ❤️

@madi.quintanaathletics took a chance on herself and picked up Flag Football as a new sport this past fall at @westernwildcatsathletics. Shortly after, she was invited to join the @westexpressladiesflag team—and she hasn’t looked back.

Last night, all of that hard work took another incredible step forward.

After a conversation with the coach and her coach, Madi received her first collegiate scholarship offer from @psuslflag. 🎓🏈

As a dad, watching her discover something new, work at it, compete, grow, and now see a college recognize her potential is something I’ll never take for granted.

And this is just the beginning.

Congratulations, Madi Quintana. We are incredibly proud of you! ❤️
