  • A podcast the AV industry desperately needs!

    I recently discovered the podcast and feel that the content is extremely important in the AV industry. There seems to be an endless amount of information, videos, podcasts, etc on the technical side of our work, but very little is ever spoken about the culture and related issues.

  • My new favorite podcast

    I have struggled in our industry for years with insecurity myself. Listening to this podcast this week finally made me feel seen/less alone. Some of the subject matter is hard to hear but the conversations need to be heard and it really makes you take a hard look at your own behavior and the behavior of the people around you. Conversations, like the ones on brAVe space, are going to benefit all of us. This is a podcast everyone should listen to and I can’t wait for more content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 67: Robyn Bryce Joins the brAVe [space]
Q: If you could wave a magic wand and make all of your faculty unanimously understand one thing, what would it be?
That it's going to be okay; there is trepidation, but with time, experimentation, and supporting relationships, the adoption of new tech will work out and people will stay engaged rather than give up.
Ep 70: Rebecca Sullins Joins the brAVe [space]
Q: What is the best advice you've ever gotten?
Never make someone a priority if they only make you an option, a maxim she applies to both personal life and professional relationships to protect her peace and time.
Ep 70: Rebecca Sullins Joins the brAVe [space]
Q: What change would you like to see in the AV industry?
She calls for less consolidation and more opportunities for smaller, innovative companies, arguing that current consolidation leads to assembly-line design and stifles creativity.
Ep 70: Rebecca Sullins Joins the brAVe [space]
Q: What role has mentorship played in your career?
Rebecca explains that she had mentors from college who guided her early on, and over time she moved from mentee to mentor herself, recognizing the need to actively support others while navigating a male-dominated industry.
Ep 71: Tim Baker Joins the brAVe [space]
Q: What are some practical integrations that enhance signage effectiveness?
Tim discusses integrating signage with platforms like ScreenFeed to automatically stream updated data, and using feed-based or live content to keep signage relevant without duplicating content creation work.
