Michael Strickland is a fixture in the entertainment industry, as both the founder of Bandit Lites and now the leading advocate for the live events industry on Capitol Hill. As the gravity of the pandemic set in, Strickland began talking with local and national politicians to develop relief efforts, and has been a driving force behind the RESTART Act among other initiatives. In today's episode we discuss his lobbying efforts, his forecast on the business in the coming months, and the philosophy that drives him as both a business owner and the voice of live entertainment in politics.
