Corralling the Chaos

Seventeen years into running a successful audio company, Ryan Amen stopped and asked himself a question most event leaders never make time for: why am I actually doing this?

In this episode of Corralling the Chaos, Ryan — General Manager of Design Sound in Southern California — talks with Angela Alea about the year he spent looking inward instead of outward. He gets into the junkyard afternoon that started his career in sound, the book that gave him a roadmap, the realization that his company was still stuck in the first stage of business, and the anonymous team survey that came back a lot less rosy than he expected.

If you're heads-down on the next load-in and the next deadline, this one's a good reason to stop for 30 minutes.
