15 M.o.F. - Lee & Jeremy (Rockfan Entertainment) - a podcast by Brian Goldrich

Well, we're off. My name is goldy. Welcome back to another 15 minutes of fame. Different setup this time. Got it all going on.  I've got lee putnam from rockfan entertainment. A staging, lighting, sound, full compass. You want to throw a party? They've got all the buttons and knobs.  Lee to my knowledge, owns the business. Got it started years ago. He'll speak more about that in a minute. Down here- new setup-  We're tech guys? That's jeremy down there. Jeremy is also part of rockfan entertainment. He will describe what his role is in the company. We will discuss further, obviously, now, four weeks into this -today's easter- it's april 12th.  That's about 29, nearly 30 days of physical actual lock down because of the whole party that we're living in right now. I can guarantee you between the three of us, we've thrown better parties than what we're in right now. As far as the party goes. Let's take it away.  Lee, if you don't mind starting. Talk to us about who you are. What you own. What you do. Where you've been.  My name is lee. I'm part owner. I'm co-owners with jeremy in rockfan. Started the company in 2012. We do everything from speaker rentals to concert production, we also the sound system installations and staging with live events. Basically anything audio video related.  That's kind of where we live. We do events that range from 50 people up to 10,000 and beyond. We travel all over the country. That's kind of our background.  I'm gonna kick it over to jeremy, who's my partner in all this. I look down. I'm jeremy. I co-own the company with lee. Lee pretty much summed up everything we do. We do events for small amounts of people and really large amounts.  Also system integration for businesses. With that right there, I can attest that both these guys are pretty much rock stars in their world. Hence the name of the business rockfan. I've got a chance to work with both you guys on site.  Around stages. Jeremy, you and I got to battle a ski resort through every single weather adversary. Battle sums it up. Battle in the world of events.  Taking a break like this actually is now well worth it or well earned. Let's just fast forward through the already known. We know you're not throwing events right now. We know your clients have called you. They said, "hey, we're shutting down. " we don't know what's going on. You don't know what's going on.  We're a month into this thing right now. We think we're about 2 to 3 weeks out of maybe opening doors on stuff. We just kind of rolling with it right now. I know that a lot of the humans i've spoke with on the 15 minutes of fame have discussed, how they stay connected with their clients. Some do it with writing notes.  Some do it with phone calls, zoom meetings. What are you guys doing to stay with your clients right now so they know that rockfan isn't just good at setting up a soundboard and tuning in the lead singer, but that they are also human beings that are part of this worldly situation that need to keep the business going.  What do you guys do right now? A lot of our customers are also in the same boat we are. They're event producers.  They're breweries. They're restaurants. They're going through the same thing. A lot of it is just genuinely checking in and caring.
