Brian Reed (or just “Reed” to most folks), accidentally got started in the crew side of entertainment by accident in 1989- and he’s still here! Like rush hour on the 101, he’s had a ton of unexpected stops and weird routing in his Journey: theatre, rock n roll, a little bit of film work, sort of being a roadie, LA, Vegas, South Korea and a whole lot of putting people in the air at a few different theme parks and hundreds of theaters in the US.

When he’s not working he’s usually the oldest dude skating at the skatepark.

Highlights from this episode:

• Reed talks about his early days of learning the craft while surrounded by talented and hardworking people
• Thoughts about ghosts while working both as a host and technician aboard The Queen Mary
• The necessity of leadership in the arts, pulling from Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s “Extreme Ownership”
• An encouraging word to artists about what working life will be like after COVID-19
