AV SuperFriends: Off the Rails - Leadership vs. Actual Workers

AV SuperFriends

Recorded January 5, 2024

It’s a new year and we’re starting 2024 by looking backward! We return to a previous topic: working with integrators. On Off the Rails 78, we debated Marc’s question about how to ensure we get delivered what we wanted from AV integrators… and that conversation prompted quite the debate on Twitter, led by friend of the show, Joe Way. So, we invited Joe on the show to talk in more than 140 characters. Did we solve it this time?

We also review an article from the Harvard Business review about working from home and we each select our favorite (or least favorite) products of 2023.

These are a few of our favorite things we used in 2023:

• Marc: Sennheiser TeamConnectCeiling 2 (but only in analog mode)
• Chris: Promethean ActivePanel LX
• Justin: Elgato Streamdeck
• Larry: Shure MXA310
• Jamie: Mystery Electronics FC8X
• Joe: Bose S1 Pro
• Joe’s second pick: Symetrix xIO XLR

Alternate show titles:

• Waiting for you to ask for some petty thing
• How can I do this without everyone here at home?
• If you’re at home, you’re just jacking around
• Now that you have more than 140 characters
• Maybe I had too many edibles
• The logic is sound
• Here’s my point to all this sh*t
• 80% of the time I sound like an idiot redneck
• The rubber is going to meet the road at some point
• Unicorn world
