Jobs That Exist at a Venue ft. Joey Phillips (The Forum‪)‬ Don't Shit On The Bus

This week we welcome back our friend Joey. We promised you two episodes, and two episodes you shall get. This week we go a bit deeper into what jobs exist at a venue. This is important for not only touring professionals but anyone out there who might want to start their journey at a venue level. Honestly, it is a lot of information. I am hoping we can get a typed version of this up pretty soon… Joey just has so much to say and I enjoyed the short tangents we went on throughout the episode as well. Thanks again for your time Joey.

In this episode of the Don’t Shit On The Bus podcast we will learn:

• About the different positions that work at a venue
• How to transfer touring skills to venue operations
• How working at a venue helps with touring skills
• What to avoid doing at a venue
