A Scott in the Dark

Back from oblivion, Scott was inspired by attending the Transworld Halloween/Christmas Show and has recorded the first new podcast in quite some time.  This topic is Learning to Teach a Workshop.  This is great for anyone who would like to submit to teach at a trade show or for those who would like to polish their presentation technique.  In this episode, Scott chats about preparing the submission, tips and tricks to keep attendees engaged and even ideas on promoting your session once approved.  He is thrilled to be back and we hope he can find time to do more episodes very soon.  

Scott shares moments from the Middle East Film and Comic Convention.  This podcast is the audio from the video version on YouTube.  It was recorded live at the convention and may be uneven in volume. 

Scott discusses pitching new ideas to both existing and new clients (using some awkward sports analogies) .

Here are Scott's thoughts on not being able to attend the Transworld show this year.

In the wake of recent violence against performers, Scott discusses ways to keep performers safe this coming season. 

Scott discusses how he has handled quotes and contracts for goods and services within the Haunt industry.  NOTE: Scott is not a lawyer not is he an expert in contract law.  This episode is designed to share thoughts on what can or should be in a quote or a contract. SECOND NOTE: This episode is not really as boring as it sounds.

Scott discusses the importance of site visits and what to look for when evaluating a location for new haunts.
