Have you heard of the concept that we are separated by only 6 degrees? It refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth; A believable concept when contemplating how small the world really is. It is particularly evident these days with all the social media avenues being utilized by young and old alike. There’s Twitter, Facebook, My Space, and a world of other social networking sites for connecting with others. And so was born Only2degrees.com.

Only2degrees.com is an innovative talk radio show created by Darcy Jones and Lisa Vinton after realizing the power within their circle of social networking and the difference their connections made within their community. Knowing the reach of the Internet, they took advantage of “online” social networking. The opportunity to communicate both locally and around the world to provide entertainment, education and a connection to others is the shows premise. Narrowing the gap between business owners, individuals and the communities they serve to only2dgrees.com.

Darcy Jones is a Financial Advisor and Planning Specialist with Smith Barney, a published author, and keynote speaker. She is actively in involved in Rotary International, Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, Professional Women’s Roundtable, and Susan G. Komen Foundation. She has an incredible way of using humor and enthusiasm to encourage individuals to step out of their comfort zone and do something great for both themselves and others.

Lisa Vinton is President/CEO of Services for Success, Inc. and founder of the Southwest Pregnancy Counseling Center. She’s also a published author, keynote speaker, and has recently starred in Worlds Strictest Parents, a reality TV show. She is an active member of Rotary International, Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, and could be considered a “professional” volunteer since she is extremely active in the community in which she lives and desires to improve the lives of anyone in need.

JP Raineri is a TV and Radio personality in Southern California who has taken a step away from the microphone to assist Lisa and Darcy with their vision. He works behind the scenes with only2degrees towards his dream of becoming a top notch player in TV and Radio Production. The show is professionally produced in cooperation with JP’s company, Bad Fish Productions.

Through the show, Lisa and Darcy seek to provide entertainment, education, and connectivity to business owners as well as individuals who are looking for more creative ways to develop relationships both personally and professionally. They offer their world wide listeners segments on wine tasting (one of their favorite past-times), business spotlights, as well as helpful tips on running your own business in the black. They use humor and human interest stories to communicate how we all can better serve each other.

Since Darcy and Lisa live here in California, an idea to go on the road and do a Capitol Cities Tour was formed. What better place to start than in their home state? The weekend of June 20-22 the party begins, here in Sacramento! Only2degrees is working with recommendations from Sacramento365.com and the Convention & Visitors Bureau in showcasing some of Sacramento’s finest establishments. Saturday and Sunday nights there will be Meet and Greets to introduce the hosts during the course of their weekend visit and show tapings (Look out for announcements!). So far, in addition to Sacramento365.com, we’ll be interviewing the owner of Culinary Specialists & Mulvaney’s B&L, Patrick Mulvaney; the CEO of MetroHub Network, Jon Lee; and the Director of Fairytale Town, Kathy Fleming, to name a few.

A follow up with more information regarding the time and location for the meet and greets will be posted as the event nears. Here’s to narrowing the gap right here in Sacramento from 6 to only2dgrees!
