 Welcome back to Geeks are sexy. I'm Jason, and we've got our all stars back today We brought all of our guests back today as part of our panel discussion And we've been talking about different aspects of style and entertainment and security here in Las Vegas And one of the things that that really comes to mind when it comes to entertainment And we talked a little about this in some of the other segments is nobody does anything great alone If you've got a big goal something big you want to pull off We all be part of a team to pull that together and nobody does entertainment better than the city of Las Vegas And I want to understand how each of you brings your talents to help a great help pull off a great entertainment event And Dwayne since you're the promoter Why don't we start off with you and you can talk about how do you how do you rely on people like Sean and Katie to help Pull off a great event and what you know what roles do you all play? To make that event great for the fans and great for the talent as well Well, I play sports brought up and tell you teamwork to make the dream work for sure That's for sure. So the first thing I do with any events. I think about my network Who do I know at this venue know this art is that could minimize my cost I think you're ready any hurdles that aren't allowed me to make that event happen You know, so I'll find out who do I know like Sean the security industry to help take care of my security Who could help style my artists for me even myself when I go out? You know, so the linear network could determine your network, you know, say my money my pocket I work with my family and friends. Cool So Katie, what is what is some of your experience working with someone like Dwayne when you bring when you bring your When your clients come in they come into an event like this. How do you fit into the picture? Well, I mean you want to know the person who's running the show We obviously want to know who's gonna obviously who's protecting the show, too Just because you if I need to Get something last minute. I mean I like to turn to the person in charge because it's just going to help me Like get that whatever task I need to get taken care for my client as quick as possible And so if I'm new in town and out of you know I would deal with I would definitely want to talk with him because in that way my clients happy I can I can see that where you're new to town you got a client who's never been here You're trying to get they need something You've got the network in town and you need to work together to find this thing to make this show go really great Yes, sir. So and then how does how does security fit into the picture? What what are your objectives when you come and do security for a big entertainment event? What are you thinking about? Well, I mean it's Las Vegas We deal with entertainment all the time especially summer's hitting we're getting calls left and right all you know We got EDC coming up. We got life is beautiful at some point during the year all these huge events that we're well prepared for What you want to look for in a security company is can they handle the level of event that you're looking for? Can they bring on the staff are they gonna pull someone right off the street and say here's a uniform go to town Or are they going to be? You know professional with it are they gonna find the right staff are they gonna work with you? And you know with with anyone and find who the best options for your security Are you gonna need 30 guys here? Are you gonna need one guy to get simple as that? So I love working with businesses. We work hand-in-hand. We'll have a discussion We'll sit down with you figure out what the best need is for your events now What are the things you talked about? We did our same as when you go to when you go to work with a business a brick-and-mortar business You'll go walk the property and how do you do that with something like life is beautiful where where we don't you know We're shutting the streets down, but until that happens. We don't have a really good handle on what the security is It's a whole different environment once the event starts. No, it really is All it starts with is us as far as myself and the branch manager. We go out. We'll be on the property We have the experience military and our past security experiences will walk it will observe We'll see there's an entrance right there is that can be blocked will people be able to get in and out this way Where's the entries? What are the vulnerable points? Where's the stage at? If as unfortunate as it is in the climate that we are now, you know We need to look at are there advantage points if someone did want to do something How can we limit those vantage points? How can we put someone to cover those? Areas that might be vulnerable To limit disasters like we've all seen here in Las Vegas recently Yeah, unfortunately We've had some things like that and that that brings up a conundrum when it comes to entertainment events because Because we want the fans to have a great time there needs to be access But there also needs to be security and protection and how to use promoter balance that the access for the fans The accessibility to get them in and out quickly because if they can't get in out quickly and easily They're not going to come to another event, right? How do you balance safety with the artist with the artist's desire to perform right sometimes sometimes? We're our own worst enemy, right? We want to be out there with the people who want to be with us But we also have to we also have to protect ourselves How to use the promoter because those ultimately at the end of the day, this is on you. It's all me Yeah, my insurance policy buck stops with you, right? And you're we didn't talk about that in your sim But the insurances events must be astronomical. Yes, they are so how do you handle the balance between? Access and having a good time and protecting everyone involved Well, just like Sean said earlier you have to work together. So you work with the venue, you know You work with the management there and you work with local police officers FBI agents and also local security officers make sure we're all on the same page You know the size of the event determines the amount of security you need So if we're having a 300 person event, I may not have to get the FBI involved But yeah, but now unfortunately for life is beautiful after one October They're gonna have to get that beyond ball in that just to make sure that we're as safe as possible for the fan You know, and then it comes with the show you have to plan the right event So pick the right artists for your demographic and make sure you have a diverse crowd that where you're not really exclude anyone Now one of the things you're thinking about because when you're styling someone You may not be thinking about their personal physical protection You're thinking about their image and who they are and what they're trying to represent Do you factor any kind of security considerations in when you're doing the styling for someone? I stay in my lane. I let everybody else do their job Right like I don't try to tell people to do what I don't know anything about like you know I like that's that that no so but what I'm hearing is your job as a stylist is to is to let your client's Personality come through just like we talked about in your first segment And you're relying on these two guys to make sure your clients protected You're not you're not doing anything with their style To try to try to keep any not that you should but you're relying on these two guys and the rest of the Team to keep your clients safe and the fans safe Awesome, right We're not quite halfway through 2018. Yes, we're all entrepreneurs with big goals. Tell me something you want to accomplish in 2018 because One of the things I believe really strong it strongly and there's no finish lines in life We're all working working forward towards something.
