In this special solo episode, Tim sits down—crewless but full-hearted—to open December’s HETMA Road to 10K theme: Productive Rest. After dedicating the episode to his late colleague Steve Smith, he reflects on burnout, seasonal chaos, family life, and why AV pros need to set healthy boundaries during the busiest time of year.

He also shares updates on the upcoming AV Life Holiday Party, teases a big January anniversary episode, and reminds everyone to mark their calendars for the 2026 HETMA Virtual Conference. A short but meaningful check-in before the holiday whirlwind begins.

Topics Discussed:
  • HETMA's December Theme – Productive Rest
  • Holiday-Season Overload Holiday
  • Higher Ed End-of-Semester Chaos
  • The Power of Saying “No”
  • AV Life Holiday Party (Dec 16) Invitation
The AV Life is a Higher Ed AV Media production. More at higheredav.com.
