This week on the Born to Tint Podcast, hosts Ricky and Josh Miller sit down with Rene Arce, the young and hungry entrepreneur behind Vegas Street Dogs — one of Las Vegas’ fastest-growing local food businesses blowing up on social media.
From losing money at a casino to flipping that loss into a passion-driven hot-dog hustle, Rene shares how he built Vegas Street Dogs from the ground up — starting with a $200 Blackstone grill and a dream. He dives deep into what it takes to turn street food into a full-blown business, how consistency and community connection fuel his brand, and the power of showing up even when you don’t feel like it.
Rene’s story is packed with lessons on entrepreneurship, mindset, and social-media growth — especially for anyone starting out with limited resources.
The conversation also explores:
🔥 How Vegas Street Dogs built 10K+ followers in just six months
💪 What it takes to go from a pop-up stand to a full-on food truck
🌭 How authenticity and connecting with your audience can change your life
💡 Why the food and tint industries share the same grind mentality
🙏 Turning setbacks into fuel and learning to love the process
you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or local hustler looking for motivation to keep pushing — this episode will light a fire under you.
