Real Stories. Real Setbacks. Real Success!
I’m Rey Ybarra, a radio broadcaster and former host and producer of a live, two-hour talk radio show on KRLA 870 AM. I’m the author and producer of the multimedia book Conversations With Shark Tank Winners, and a mainstage keynote speaker, moderator, and producer of live entrepreneur panel presentations across the United States featuring successful entrepreneurs from the Emmy Award-winning television show Shark Tank.
My past and ongoing work with the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), my return to radio broadcasting in 2027, and my upcoming mainstage keynote presentations build on years of experience connecting broadcasting, multimedia publishing, and live entrepreneur events.
I bring that experience to help you create a powerful media ecosystem—one that connects your radio or podcast programming, speaking platform, content, and business offerings to strengthen your credibility, expand your visibility, and give audiences a compelling reason to listen, engage, and work with you.
National Speaking Tour & Professional Collaborations
I authored and produced Conversations With Shark Tank Winners, a multimedia book featuring 14 entrepreneurs from the Emmy Award-winning television program. I extended that project into a successful national tour, producing, moderating, and speaking alongside Shark Tank entrepreneurs at live events across the country. My work includes collaborations with Small Business Expo, The National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), Santa Monica College, CEO Focus, Broward College, IREX, the University of Phoenix School of Business, and The Network After Work Group.
Trusted Partnerships & Professional Collaborations
I have worked with nationally recognized conferences, colleges, universities, business organizations, and professional networks to produce and deliver live entrepreneur presentations, mainstage programs, and compelling conversations. My experience brings together broadcasting, multimedia publishing, speaking, and panel moderation to connect entrepreneurial stories with audiences across the country.
These collaborations have extended beyond the stage to include book promotion, expo exhibits, audience engagement, and coordinated online and in-person marketing. I bring that experience to organizations seeking an experienced speaker, moderator, and multimedia producer who can help turn an event into a broader opportunity for visibility and connection.
Quality-level broadcasting. Powerful live conversations. Years of experience bringing it all together.
