You wouldn’t think there are many parallels between producing a rock concert tour and your events would you? Our guest Haydn Johnston from the Architects of Entertainment is here to prove us all wrong!

In this episode, we put co-host Chad Davis in the driver’s seat for a chat with Haydn that covers a lot of ground. Haydn explains how it is that the business came to be and how much it relies on the engagement and development of the next generation of production people. This is a real behind-the-scenes insight into what it takes to put on major international concerts and music festivals; but more than that it’s a masterclass in mentorship and team management that we can all learn a lot from.

Other highlights of the conversation to look out for include; Haydn’s 80/20 approach to handing over his events as well as his participation in the Australian Live Music Business Council and the charitable program looking out for the needs of all production crew, Crew Care.

In Keep Calm and Trust, Steve Angel takes us through the importance of trust to our working and personal relationships. We then learn five key characteristics that create trust in our interactions with each other.
