Listen Later

Ever wondered what makes an event truly memorable? Matt Kays of Mountain Event Services reveals it's not just about the speakers, lights, or playlist—it's about the people behind the technology and their approach to creating experiences.

Matt shares his fascinating journey from radio broadcaster in Crested Butte to event specialist, discovering along the way that he preferred connecting with people over being isolated in a studio. This realization led him to build a company that now handles everything from DJ services and photo booths to sound production and mobile live streaming for events across Colorado.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Matt addresses one of the biggest misconceptions about DJs—that they're just music players. He emphasizes that exceptional DJs are actually event directors who guide gatherings with skilled emceeing. "Everyone's been to an event where the DJ couldn't, wouldn't, or shouldn't have been talking on the microphone," he notes, highlighting how crucial communication skills are alongside technical abilities.

What truly distinguishes Mountain Event Services in a crowded market? Matt points to their core values: responding quickly, solving problems, following through, and infusing everything with joy. In a candid moment, he reflects on his growth as a business leader, learning that his company is an extension of himself—a revelation that transformed his approach to entrepreneurship.
