In this episode of In the Studio with J Haleem, J Haleem sits down with Kristina Pelly Filocamo, of True Sound Marketing, for a real conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and building a business that actually serves people.

Kristina shares her journey from growing up in a traditional Italian household on Long Island, to relocating to Indiana, and ultimately taking a bold leap to Las Vegas at just 25 after recognizing an opportunity and betting on herself — even when the people closest to her didn’t fully understand the vision.

They talk about what entrepreneurship really looks like before the highlights: learning to hustle the right way, building teams, pricing with confidence, navigating major life challenges, and rebuilding stronger with a purpose-driven agency that helps businesses grow with strategy — not gimmicks.

Kristina also breaks down why she’s passionate about supporting the community through the Junior League of Las Vegas, human trafficking awareness initiatives, and service partnerships across Southern Nevada — proving that the best businesses aren’t just profitable… they’re impactful.

If you’re starting a business, stuck in your career, retiring and looking for a new path, or serious about building a real brand in 2026, this episode is for you.
