Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#326: Big Speakers and Bigger Passion at HiFi Buys with Chris Doughty
Q: Do you find people that are into purchasing or investing regularly in HiFi gear also into other luxury good type hobbies?
Yes, there's a big overlap between HiFi enthusiasts and collectors of watches and cars, as both are seen as luxury hobbies.
#326: Big Speakers and Bigger Passion at HiFi Buys with Chris Doughty
Q: What would be 10 great pieces of demo music you use?
Demo with music that you're familiar with, and for showing off bass response, electronic music is often great. Classics like Steely Dan and Radiohead are common, but also include orchestral pieces for resolution and emotional connection.
#326: Big Speakers and Bigger Passion at HiFi Buys with Chris Doughty
Q: What is your aspirational system that you want to put in your house?
I don't really have anything at home because I spend a lot of time at the store listening to music all day at a level that I'm just never going to approach from a home system standpoint.
#324: Lessons in Leadership and Growth from John Carter of Multimedia & Powered Solutions
Q: What advice would you give younger entrepreneurs in the space?
You need to listen to other people and find your people, surround yourself with smarter guys than you.

Q: How do you think about allocating funds for marketing within your company?
We believe in investing at least 3% to 5% of our revenue into marketing to strengthen client connections.
