Mesa College student Ronnie Landfair understands and embraces the challenges of being heard and making a dent in the technologically fast paced world that we live in. The Mesa College population is filled with diverse individuals, most who try their hand in all sorts of different challenges and Landfair is here to explore the accomplishments of those individuals.

Landfair has taken full advantage of his voice through participation in the Mesa speech and debate team and now with his very own web-show, "The Ronnie Landfair Show" ("RLS") and "RLS On Blast."

The Ronnie Landfair Show has been loyal to the Mesa community by talking with students and teachers from Mesa College. Each show is dedicated to a guest who has accomplished his or her dreams and explores how they reached the point of success.

Landfair's first guest on the show was Mesa student and salsa dancer Serena Cuevas. She started her own dance company at the age of 21. She has also starred in a new Gatorade commercial, opposite Serena Williams.

The show host was driven to use the full potential of his voice when he was the new guy in a Navy division of 92 sailors.

"I presented a challenge to myself… I would have a personal conversation with every last individual," said Landfair. "Even though people associated in their own clique, they were uniquely distinguished as individuals by their stories, passions and upbringings. They all shared common challenges and didn't even realize it. I thought that if just a few of them shared their stories on a large platform, they would be able to connect with each other."

The show also has a second, more casual feeling segment between Ronnie and three other guests as they discuss a hot topic of the week called "On Blast." This segment is designed to evaluate all viewpoints of certain issues and follow with discussion and friendly argument.

"While the original show will focus on highlighting individuality and personal achievements, "On Blast" will show how those types of people combat the challenges of life," Landfair explains.

Landfair recognizes that everyone deserves to be heard and every opinion is welcomed. This driven individual has the power to move people and mountains through positive communication.

The second episode of the Ronnie Landfair Show features Mesa professor Starla Lewis as she discusses her new book "Sunkisses", a coloring book for little girls with encouraging messages of love and individuality.

"I am brilliant, I am powerful, I am limitless, I am love." These are just a few of Starla's messages.

Ronnie has many goals in mind, and he's just getting started. "It is my hope that my message of re-powering the spirit, renewed personal identity, and unstoppable motivation will spread universally."
