The Second Act Vol 5: A Word From DJ Manufacturers/Service Providers

The Second Act Vol 5: A Word From DJ Manufacturers/Service Providers

The “Second Act” series is based on the fact that, in my mind, everything we did “pre-covid” was the First Act. The Second Act is what we’re in right now as states start to re-open and we get back to events. What I’ve come to realize as we’ve been going through this pandemic is that there are a lot of great stories out there – things of hope, things that are super raw for folks, and even stories of great loss. I wanted to get these stories out there because I think we can learn a little something from others that are going through it, just like we are. In this episode (volume 5), I interview Michael Mahler with Vibo, Hector Escobedo from Pioneer and Warren Peace from Direct Music Service in 3 separate mini interviews. These companies are so important to our industry yet they have no outlet for sharing how COVID has affected their businesses. Enjoy these candid conversations.
