For this episode, Itchy and Scratchy (aka Cody and Dan) are going #beyondFLG with Rand Jenkins, Partner, CEO, Visionary, and Director of Strategy at Mountain Mojo Group, a digital marketing group located in Flagstaff. Prior to digital marketing, Rand worked in the service industry and moved to the world of production in 2003 working as a production assistant on the MTV Video & Music Awards shows. Since then, he has managed and produced over 1400 concerts, festivals, fundraisers, galas and special events. He co-founded, owned and operated Flagstaff’s Green Room, a music venue and bar in Flagstaff, AZ for 7 years and acted as GM of The Pepsi Amphitheater in Flagstaff for another 3 years. He also founded and produced 3 community/music festivals in Flagstaff including The Flagstaff Hullabaloo, Flagstaff Cornucopia and Kaleidoscope Kamp Out. In late 2015, he started Mountain Mojo Group, a marketing firm with partner Austin Leggett. In his spare time he has sat on the boards of Habitat for Humanity, The Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy, The Flagstaff Music Festival/Firefly Gatherings, mentored for Big Brothers, Big Sisters and participates in volunteer opportunities city wide. All of this is secondary of course to traveling and reconnecting with his Friends and Family.

You won't want to miss Rand discussing his experience in the service industry, including stories of Les Claypool, Insane Clown Posse, and REO Speedwagon, and a lot of sage guru business advice. In the word of Jason Costello, “I find Rand to be a bit of an empath with a lot of guru management vibe. 1-Part Mr. Rogers, 1-Part Yoda.”
