If you're not happy where you are then be somewhere else. Good advice coming from somebody who's been everywhere. Robert Sassade has so many stories to tell. From his early career as a production manager to working for the armed forces in Afghanistan to rebuilding Haiti and so on. Truly one of the best Backstage Cowboys interviews. Enjoy!

Worried about PAR64 bulbs being discontinued? On this episode I'm talking with some folks who have engineered a solution to that problem. 2 brothers from California came up with an LED retrofit unit that pops right into your PAR64 or PAR56 CAN and runs on your existing dimmers. No install, no cabling, nothing. It's as easy as changing a bulb.

Aaron Gehrt, also known as ''SMOKEY'' is the repair manager for an American manufacturer called Blizzard pro lighting in Wisconsin. And his email signature also states that he prevents wild fires. Thats what happens when passionate people full of humor are involved. Just be warned though, this episode might get funky. But that's what the backstage cowboys podcast is all about. We're not only exploring the backstage universe but we're also going into the heads of those who make the infrastructure of the backstage.

At the time of this recording, Frank Perron happened to be working at the Superbowl tailgate party in Los Angeles. Frank works for Stageline, a mobile stage company. Ever been to a festival where you see this big ass stage in the middle of nowhere that actually wasn't there the day before? Well Frank is the guy who makes that stage appear and disappear after the show.

On this episode we're going to Toronto to have a chat with one of the coolest lighting guys I know. And I'm not just saying that because he has orange hair. FOX PROCENKO has pretty much done it all, from tour busses to planes to movie sets, you name it.

What a great time I had chatting with Gordon Clarke who is head of training at the Avolites Academy. There's a lot more to training than just passing on information. It's also about making the whole learning experience more efficient by applying proven psychological methods.
