From the host
“After coaching high school boys basketball at Akron Buchtel H.S., we had great athletes and success — 5 straight city titles, state runners-up, and many of my students attending college. My feelings: I wish I could have done more to prepare them for what was to come in life. This platform gets me another chance for others.”

The story
Built on the sideline. Carried into the studio.
Stay Ready Academy of Sports LLC started the way most good things in this city start — with somebody deciding to show up for people who needed it. Coaching taught Harvey Sims that talent is everywhere, but preparation is what actually changes an outcome. Kids who learn to stay ready stop waiting for permission. So do adults.
The podcast is that same sideline conversation, opened up to the whole valley. Las Vegas, NV gets talked about like it’s only a strip of hotels. It isn’t. It’s neighborhoods. It’s parents working overnights. It’s the barber who just signed a lease, the trainer running sessions in a park at 6am, the teacher who never stopped believing in the kid in the back row.
Those are the stories that don’t make the highlight reel — so this show makes them the highlight reel. Every episode is a Las Vegas person or a Las Vegas business getting the credit, the encouragement and the platform they earned.
- The motto
Hard Work Pays
Education that actually applies
Preparation, mindset, discipline and follow-through — explained the way a coach explains it, not the way a textbook does.
Community stories from the valley
Neighbors, families, coaches, mentors and everyday folks whose work holds Las Vegas together.
A push for the up-and-coming
New businesses and first ventures get airtime, questions and honest encouragement — never a sales pitch.

Questions
Before you reach out
Anything not covered here, just call and ask. Straight answers, no runaround.
What is the podcast about?
Three things, every time: education, community stories and individual success right here in Las Vegas. Coach Harvey Sims sits down with people from around the valley to talk about how they prepared, what they’ve built and what they’ve learned along the way.
Do I need to be a big name to be a guest?
Not at all. The show exists specifically to make room for up-and-coming people and brand-new businesses. If you’re doing something in this city that matters to you, that’s enough.
What kind of businesses get featured?
Local ones. Trades, training, food, retail, services, creative work, nonprofits — the size and the industry matter far less than the person behind it and their willingness to talk honestly.
Where can I listen to episodes?
Every episode is free to watch — no membership or account needed. The episodes play on the show’s Facebook page under Reels, and each episode card on this site opens its video directly.
Can I nominate someone else?
Please do. Use the form on this page, or call and tell us who they are, what they do and why the valley should hear about them.
How does the $5 membership bill?
Joining takes one tap. You pay $5 on a secure checkout page, then $5 again every month automatically until you cancel — there is nothing to remember and no invoice to chase. A secure link manages your membership any time.
How do I get in touch?
