    113: Demystifying broadcasting sport events, TD role, cloud tools and fitness on the road ft Michael Lange

    113: Demystifying broadcasting sport events, TD role, cloud tools and fitness on the road ft Michael Lange

    With me on the air today I have Michael Lange - a Technical Director, vMix Op, and Broadcast Solution Architect, the owner of Lange Productions, based in Madison, Wisconsin, helping production companies solve live stream challenges by utilizing cloud solutions, with an expertise in live Sports/Entertainment broadcasts.

    Michael has been in the broadcast industry for over 13 years, working on commercial production, news production, live sports, and corporate events. He’s also currently providing cloud streaming facilities with AWS, which replaces a traditional remote broadcast truck.

    As with many of the event production experts and event specialists you’ve met on previous episodes, I have met Michael on LinkedIn, and have been fan-ing his super helpful and relevant posts to the event productions and broadcasting industry. And while I don’t call myself a broadcaster by any stretch of the imagination, I feel like after hundreds of well-executed virtual events, traditional broadcasting basics have been incredibly helpful and necessary to make these events successful. 

    Today we’re going to:

    • demystify the world of Live Sports Broadcasts,
    • how have Covid and the Cloud changed broadcasting events,
    • what does a Technical Director do in a Sports Broadcast, and
    • how does one stay fit and healthy while on the road?

    110: The Speaker-Poet-TEDx Alumni on a Mission to Educate, Engage & Empower ft Anthony DeMario

    110: The Speaker-Poet-TEDx Alumni on a Mission to Educate, Engage & Empower ft Anthony DeMario

    Today's featured guest, Anthony deMario - "BE YOU" - is something else, he is a Speaker, Trained Peak Performance Strategist & Learning Experience Architect via Tony Robbins, and Certified Brain Health Strategist with expertise in cultivating educational and engaging experiences, emotion, and storytelling. During our conversation, straight-out-of-the gate he sprints into one empowering phrase after another in an engaging conversation that will make your heart and head spin from all the things being said. He has worked with leading behavioral scientists to develop enriching learning experiences, is an experienced People & Culture Strategist with an insatiable hunger to stretch who he is and what he gives, and applies science and art to his exuberant, "lightening in a bottle" delivery style. 

    Just to give you a 'taste' of what that "lighting in a bottle" is, in the first minutes he spits out so much goodness, you better take notes:

    • The sea rips and roars and the surface, yet underneath it all there’s stillness
    • The path is not there, the path is made by walking it
    • Be original or die a copy “You were born an original, don't die a copy" -  Einstein
    • Follow your curiosity, don’t labor the art, explore it
    • Language is the wardrobe of our experience 
    • Creativity is just taking things from the past, blending, breaking, and bending them into something novel 
    • We must use our passion to serve something bigger than us 
    • Chase the dreams that keep you feeling alive
    • Learn, live it, grow it, give it philosophy, yet we can only take ppl as far as they’re willing to grow
    • What we focus on, we get pulled towards, we tend to feel
    • Meaning shapes our experience, it’s a tool we all have 
    • See it as it is, see it brighter, see it through
    • "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." - J.K. Rowling 

    Anthony was "built" in NY, and has a colorful background of experience & training which allows him to be versatile in his ways to educate, engage & empower people to take action. He is passionate, empathetic, and infectious, and will leave your people feeling energized to take massive action and gifts them strategies to follow through on. During our conversation today, Anthony gives extensive advice to anyone new to Speaking & Storytelling, may that be a Speaker, Presenter, or Emcee. We talk about finding a purpose & missing and get into the nitty-gritty science of understanding the ingredients of emotion.

    106: The future is all about photorealism and data visualization ft Amy Gile

    Today I have the honor of talking with Amy Gile, CEO of Silverdraft. Entrepreneurship and high-performance graphics technology.

    Amy began her career in the media and entertainment industry in multiple aspects of the industry, including actor and producer.  Amy identified a need for a faster solution and workflow for the entire production and the artist. The demands of rendering, animation, and visual effects required a sophisticated approach to computing. Amy knew there was a better, faster way to bring complex content to the masses.  She co-founded Silverdraft and has dedicated herself to enabling and accelerating the visualization workflow with complete solutions for various industries, including Automotive, AEC, and Media and Entertainment.  Amy is a TEDx speaker and is passionate about technology and pushing what’s possible.

    PS: I ended up ordering myself one of the plate machines Amy was mentioning that's primordial to her physical fitness. She was right, it's pretty rad.

    101: Start the new year as a Fit Wholesome New You ft Jason Brown

    Welcome to a brand new podcast season, a season that is focused on a much-needed topic: Mental and Physical Fitness. 

    Why? Because of how important this kind of fitness is for any event professional out there that is faced with challenges and needs to build resilience as well as the ability to think clearly and make decisions effectively and efficiently.  

    Mental fitness, just like physical fitness is just as important and should not be neglected because it helps us prioritize and understand that just as we can improve our physical health by moving our bodies, we can improve our mental health by strengthening our minds.   

    Taking steps to build our mental fitness enhances our ability to cope with stress and improves our physical health, productivity at work, relationships, and overall happiness.   

    This Friday, Jan 13th, join me and my good friend, Jason Brown as kick off the season with this first episode during which talk about our natural bodybuilding journeys in the competitive and many times unfair world of fitness, and how that has helped us as AV professionals, and why staying physically and mentally fit is important for all event professionals.  So, hang tight, strap on, and enjoy the ride!

    98: What is teleprompting and how it can add value to your events ft Michelle Michelson (Prompster)

    98: What is teleprompting and how it can add value to your events ft Michelle Michelson (Prompster)

    "Rehearsals are SO Important", "Generational gaps in tech crews can be so toxic at times", "Power struggles behind the scenes are real", "If you're working an event, be there because you care, not just to collect a paycheck"...

    In one of the - sadly - few last episodes of the current running season "Women Behind The Scenes in Events and Event Productions" I have the honor of talking to Michelle Michelson, Teleprompter Operator and owner of Prompster and discuss some really difficult topics to address but much needed. 

    Michelle was so gracious to get out of her comfort zone and join me on air, staying open and authentic in our conversation. 

    She is my kind of woman in events, a small business owner that just like me, is organically grown and hustling to forge her own path in events. She's from NYC with a whole lot of teleprompter expertise and branching out the business to include graphics operating, content, and production managing.  

    She's been working in events and production for over ten years, starting out in NYC and moving west to Colorado to take on more travel event work and expand the company. 

    Tune into this episode as we address: 

    - the pros and cons of running a business remotely, 

    - networking and building a community in a unique niche,

    - growing and expanding while taking on new roles within the events industry and pushing out of your comfort zones, 

    - crew culture and what is like being one of the younger techs on the crew and a female on top of everything else, working on events with gen z / x and boomers, and what conflict resolution looks like, 

    - innovative uses of prompter for events + production.
