DanRam is a force of nature. This guy has more energy, and brings it time after time after time to stages and audiences around the world. Whether it’s live and in person, or live and in studio as we’re seeing today, DanRam is the Man.
The Pandemic is changing everything we knew, thought we knew, and are still yet to know about the live event industry. How are people adapting? Is it working? Who’s leading the charge right now, and who’s falling behind?
Having recently completed a 7 week tour of 20 cities, hosting 17 virtual events (and staying healthy), DanRam is an unparalleled resource.
And I had the good fortune to sit down and talk with him, and hit record.
All this and more in Episode 003 of Selected.
