The Business of Being Santa

This Christmas Eve, Entrepreneurial Shades of Gray brings you a special episode the whole family can enjoy. Straight from the North Pole, Santa Claus joins the conversation to talk about the business behind the magic… from managing elves and running a worldwide operation in a single night, to what it really takes to keep joy, generosity, and wonder at the center of it all.

Along the way, we have some fun with Santa’s favorite cookie, how the nice list really works (and yes, whether there’s still time to make it), and even a playful call-out that gives one of our hosts a little hope for redemption. But beyond the laughs, this episode also reflects on the heart of Christmas (kindness, giving, and why this season continues to matter year after year). It’s lighthearted, joyful, and perfect to watch or listen to together as you slow down and savor the magic of Christmas Eve.

Entrepreneurial Shades of Gray, hosted by FOX10’s Chelsey Sayasane and Dani Dials, is where real conversations meet real stories of resilience, innovation, and growth. Each week, we uncover the journeys of entrepreneurs and business leaders navigating the gray areas of success. From local start-ups to larger powerhouses, our conversations aim to uncover the unfiltered realities behind building and leading a business. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a seasoned leader, you’ll find inspiration, challenge, and connection in every episode.
