We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Tynes-gonzales and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
What truly makes me happy is entertaining and motivating people. There’s something fulfilling about seeing someone’s comments with laughter or those moments when I get a comment saying that I made their day or made them feel better after having a bad day. I find joy in creating those connections – whether it’s through storytelling, sharing experiences, or simply offering encouragement when it’s needed most. The fact that I’ve been able to turn this passion into my livelihood feels like a gift. It doesn’t just make me happy; it gives me purpose. Each day brings new opportunities to positively impact someone’s life, and that continuous cycle of giving and receiving energy is what keeps me going. It’s not just work – it’s a privilege to do something that aligns so perfectly with what brings me genuine happiness.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart as a content creator, actor, and professional dancer is my versatile experience both in front of and behind the camera. I bring a comprehensive understanding of the entertainment industry that began with my early work with Nickelodeon as a live gameshow host, which later evolved into a multifaceted career in Los Angeles.

I’m particularly proud of my written projects that are currently streaming on Amazon, representing my ability to create content as well as perform it. Having the opportunity to work with the Wayans Brothers appearing in my first movie in 2007 was a pivotal moment that helped me secure my Screen Actors Guild card and establish myself as a professional actor.

My journey hasn’t always been straightforward. The entertainment industry presents unique challenges, from fierce competition to periods of uncertainty between projects. I overcame these obstacles through persistence, continuing to hone my craft, and building meaningful relationships with mentors like Elizabeth Banks and many others whose guidance has been invaluable.

The most important lesson I’ve learned is that versatility and resilience are essential in this industry. Being able to write, create, and perform across different mediums has allowed me to stay active and relevant even when specific avenues temporarily closed.

I want the world to know that my brand represents authentic storytelling through multiple artistic expressions. My background in dance, acting, and content creation allows me to bring unique perspectives to each project, whether I’m performing or creating behind the scenes.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had friends visiting Las Vegas, I’d balance iconic Strip attractions with local gems often missed by tourists.

We’d experience the essential Strip highlights – Bellagio fountains, Venetian canals, and dinner at my favorites: Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen for the Beef Wellington and Ocean Prime for their incredible seafood and steaks. A Cirque du Soleil show would cap off one of the evenings. We’d also explore Fremont Street and the Neon Museum. The Arts District would also be a great place to check out for local dining and boutique shopping at Container Park, plus vibrant street art and galleries. Then, a quick trip away from the strip to Red Rock Canyon would be a must. We’d also explore local neighborhoods like Chinatown for authentic dining experiences beyond the tourist areas. Finally, we would enjoy a spa day at a luxury resort, followed by a return to either Hell’s Kitchen or Ocean Prime for a memorable final dinner, depending on which one they enjoyed more earlier in the week. There is so much more to Vegas than the strip that people would love!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate this shoutout especially to my husband Alex who’s been my biggest supporter through everything and my family who has always believe in me in everything I do. I also have to mention ‘Atomic Habits’ by James Clear – this book completely transformed my approach to personal growth and has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals through small, consistent changes.
