With the AV industry’s answer to the All-Star Game — InfoComm 2015 — in the rear view mirror, the Power Crew come back for the second season of AV Power Up with a show that poses the question — if some of the participants of a radio podcast wear different outfits during the show, do the listeners enjoy it more? Well they do if they can see an actual picture of the podcast:

Join the season two Power Crew — host Christa (@AVChrista – the AV Power Wrangler) Bender, Corey (@Cbmoss) Moss, Chuck (@madsoundguy) Espinoza, Hope (@BeerAndPie) Roth, Rich (@RichardPrevete) Prevete and Jeremy (@jeremy_caldera) Caldera as they welcome their #awesome guests:

• (The) Bradford Benn (@BradfordBenn) of Harman International
• Alison Maxson (@Aliemaxme) of Barco
• Phil (HiPhi) Cordell (@The_AV_Pro) of M3 Technology Group

(Stacy and Johnny were not able to make it but don’t worry, they are still part of the Power Crew!)

We begin another big season with a show that brings the competition from the start as Bradford is set to win the big prize for best costume. Unfortunately, no one told him that there is no prize, just a potential return visit to the show (though we believe he tied Hope for most costume changes). But as we found out that’s exactly what he wanted and we just have to say congrats Bradford, you win and get to come on again (our people will contact your people). You just have to bring us all on those roller coaster rides with you.

Alison in “The Return of Aliemaxme” brings it Barco-style, ClickSharing all of her thoughts and AirPlaying it up! And yes Alison/Amy – you will be back. Phil Cordell, what can we say except we’re not worthy and that you are the king of #AVSelfie (sorry Bradford you’ve been displaced). The video – masterpiece.

Jeremy opens this one up with some great discussion on APEx (in which one of our show’s participants has just become a member!), Corey Converges with InfoComm’s Exceptional Experiences, Chuck Powers Up with talk of synergy, idea sharing and getting 110% (math majors put away your calculators) and Christa and Hope tell everyone about their effort to put together a WIN CTS Study Group open to women and men who are looking to obtain their CTS as well as a CTS-I and CTS-D. Corey also reads a PSA for a charity half-marathon that Hope is participating in – for further details and to donate to this wonderful effort (and help pick Hope’s super hero costume as well!) please go here.

And a bonus for everyone listening in – the AV Professional himself Phil Cordell brings the rap (and a great one!) just before we close out the show with Rich (aka Ranger Rick) and those TierPM Hot Jobs.

Sooo, here we go with the second half ride and buckle up – it doesn’t slow down at all. Roller coaster rides for everyone!

Power Up!
