MTN TOP REELS | Year in Review | MVP "Most Viewed People" I | Top Podcast Moments of the Year

We’re closing out our first year of the MOVE THE NEEDLE Podcast by revealing the Top 6 Most-Viewed Guests, based on Instagram Reels views — and trust us, these clips brought inspiration, heart, and a few surprises!

Here’s who made the final cut  

#6 – Angela Harrolle (Episode 11) Angela Harrolle, former CEO of the 100 Club of Arizona, shares how the loss of her husband shaped her life — and how she channels that grief into meaningful, purpose-driven work supporting first responders and their families.

#5 – Mike Spangenberg (Episode 16) The CEO of State Forty Eight shares how a T-shirt idea turned into a movement. From brand growth and co-branding strategy to philanthropy and Arizona pride (yes, even a license plate!), Mike gets into what makes this local brand thrive.

#4 – Brooke Beardall (Episode 1) The founder of Holy Yoga is now exploring new frontiers with Sugar Magnolia Mushrooms, her latest venture focused on the transformative power of microdosing. A deep dive into healing, intuition, and some wild-sounding (but legal) mushrooms.

#3 – Sunny Settles (Episode 12) F45 trainer and fitness powerhouse Sunny Settles trains our very own Steve Petz — and she brought energy, wisdom, and a dog adoption tease into the mix. From fitness trends to adding another furry friend to the pack, Sunny kept it real.

#2 – Sarah Kumar (Episode 7) Sarah Kumar runs Water and Ice in Ahwatukee, but what really stood out? Her love for the local kids who visit daily — and how she invites them to learn, grow, and even try their hand behind the counter. A feel-good community story that hit home.

#1 – Shelly Albetta (Episode 15) Dogs. Laughs. And one of our most joyful interviews. Shelly Albetta of Alone No More gave us an inside look at their pet rescue magic — with a live dog cam on set. Plus, she dropped the news that she’s co-hosting a podcast for women dating in their 40s... and yes, Steve is still single.
