Nick Jackson - An Entrepreneurial Roadie

Today's conversation with Nick Jackson starts way back in the early days of touring Rock and Roll as we take the serendipitous journey from Baby Bands to Mega Bands. Nick speaks about his passion for music and how it lead to hands on stuff! Along with his founding partners of Light and Sound Design, they paved the way for what it takes to run a global lighting company. We hear about the early AC/DC tours and all the insane requests made by touring bands. We learn about the crazy business model necessary to become a rental company and how that lead to some of the acquisitions and management buyouts that created big deals in the industry. Nick's passion for the biz is obvious through his vast knowledge and experiences. Nick was able to pivot into the video business and again ride the entrepreneurial wave of mergers and acquisitions. Nick has a lovely temperament and a great sense of humor and is truly one of the pioneers of the industry. He tells great stories and you will enjoy his vast career!
