It's certainly not a new concept, but the thought of a work-life balance has been growing in conversations in recent years. There might be a correlation with the rise of hybrid and remote working, but what matters is how one can work and be satisfied with their job while also enjoying their life. When you add things like family and relationships and even hobbies into the mix, things become more complicated than ever. Today we are joined by Client Success Manager for Control Concepts Brittany DiCesare and Head of Pro Audio Business Development for Sennheiser Matt Buckner to talk about that balancing act. We discuss how they approach their work and personal lives, finding the time for the important things and much more.

Bereavement is not an easy subject to discuss, even between friends and family. When you add the working environment into the mix, it becomes an even heavier burden.

We are joined this month by Director of Event Technology for Moravian University Britt Yenser, Regional Sales Manager for Atlona Christina Cruzeiro, and Director of Marketing for Yamaha Unified Communications Laura Madaio. We discuss the grieving process and what our industry can do to provide spaces and counseling for those in times of need, and much more.

We like to use this show to look at the present and the state of the AV industry as it stands today and the effects it has on the future. But this time, we're going to look back just as much as we intend to look forward and see how things have evolved. And to do just that, we need some experts in AV. 

Joining us in this discussion is Business Development Manager for Sound Control Technologies Kathryn Cordina and Advisist Bradford Benn, the first male guest to make an appearance on the show. Advisist was the elite sponsor for Rosie Riveters, an organization dedicated to introducing young women to the STEM field. We look at the most important developments in AV technology, how we can go from people "falling into" AV to pursuing a career with purpose and much more.
