The AV Life

Well the BBQ got rained out thanks to Ida, but Will DeWitt joined us from his beautiful backyard. Murphy and Tim decide that Will can be an honorary Crew Member this week as Tim vents about a manufacturer, Murphy enlightens us to OODA, and the conversation goes from there! Enjoy!!

Like we have always said: security will be an on going topic on the show. With LinkedIn being attacked and other devices being at risk Tim and the crew dive right back in on the action. We welcome back Murphy and her PM Minute and have a great time with all of our normal shenanigans. Take a listen and enjoy!

This week we welcome more guests than Crew Members! We have 4 esteemed members of our Higher Ed community. Thomas Love, Mark Eggert, Will DeWitt, and Kevin Hartman.

This week we welcome Steve Greenblatt from Control Concepts on to our show. The Crew and Tim have a great conversation that includes talking about Teamwork, the Triple Constraint, Programming, and Thrill rides! Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Tim had a thought of what we were going to talk about tonight. Tim tried to stay on target (and it wasn't entirely Joe Way's fault) but, in typical The AV Life fashion, we go off and have an INCREDIBLE episode where we talk about aliens, Wawa, unemployment, alcohol, and Trusting but Verifying. Join Tim and the crew and hear how it all comes together!!

Because of James's employment with Korr's (us Jersey folk know) we get veer off into talking about Sonic White Castle, and Dairy Queen. Tune in f...

We've been through a lot over the last 15 months so for this week's episode we had two rules: No shop talk and no talk of COVID. We were mostly successful in abiding by those rules. Tim and the crew welcome: Aaron Peterson, Tom Milner, Will DeWitt, Page Stanberry, and Harry Meade. We talk about our best and worst live events (because we're AV people and when you don't talk about work that's the cl...
