Jack and Samara introduce ActionistaLIVE, her new venture based out of Scottsdale, AZ.

A very raw and personal conversation between two great friends who are also professional photography peers that have had their livelihoods dramatically changed by the Global Pandemic.

Chad and Jack explore is the ins and outs of the event industry during the pandemic, being a high school broadcaster when there is no high sports, a new father and home owner in 2020, while living with a wife who is a full time nurse at Shady Grove hospital where there are no beds left for patients.

This is a very raw and candid conversation between two very passionate people.

A very unique roundtable discussion about one of our industries most exciting new breakthrough technologies in the world of LIVE Event Photography.

Passion is where it all begins and ends. I do marketing and pr for creative companies and I believe that passion is what makes the difference for success.

Check out my website and blog, www.liesegardner.com, for great content on the Passions that Drive Us -- inspiration for life, business, design and marketing!

And new in 2016 -- Fuel magazine, a series of articles on people living, working and marketing with passion. They will be released between now and the New Year! Coming coon... watch for it!

Passion is why we began our companies, why we are driven to create great beauty and work, and why we continue to search for new ways to connect, to tell our stories, and to be heard. Passions That Drive Us is the tagline of my company for a reason!

I became a communications, pr and marketing consultant in 1999 based on my passion for helping creative companies, small and large, shine the light brightly on what they do, where they want to go and how to get there. Today, that light is still burning bright and illuminating the work of many top brands.

Incredible opportunities with virtual outreach. The world of Rick Recht: SLBC, PJ Library, JKids Radio and Jewish Rock Radio.

Rick Recht is one of the top touring musicians in Jewish music playing over 150 dates each year in the US and abroad. Rick has revolutionized and elevated the genre of Jewish rock music as a powerful and effective tool for developing Jewish pride and identity in youth and adults across the US. Rick is the national celebrity spokesman for the PJ Library and is the Executive Director of Songleader Boot Camp – a national songleader training immersion program held in various cities around the U.S. Rick is also the founder and Executive Director of Jewish Rock Radio, the very first high-caliber, 24/7 international Jewish rock online radio station! Rick is also the Executive Producer of PJ Library Radio. Recht is the Artist in Residence at United Hebrew Congregation in St. Louis, MO.

The last 18 summers, Rick and his band played at literally hundreds of URJ, Ramah, JCC and private camps around the country. Rick has been featured in concert and as scholar in residence at the NFTY, BBYO, and USY International conventions, the URJ Biennial, the American Conference of Cantors, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and Jewish communities across the US. Rick has 13 top selling Jewish albums including his most recent release, Halleluyah.

“The stage is definitely my home,” says Recht. “The energy and voices of the audiences, whether they’re little kids, teens or adults, are indescribable. That’s the magic of Jewish music – the interaction, the singing, the dancing, and the powerful community connection. For me, it’s a dream come true to create and share in these powerful experiences.”

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Recht developed a strong Jewish identity attending Traditional Congregation, a conservative synagogue. In high school, Recht joined NFTY, where he was deeply influenced by Jewish music. After graduating USC (Los Angeles, CA) and Music Institute (Hollywood, CA), Recht hit the road touring nationwide from LA to New York playing at clubs, colleges, and amphitheaters. Recht has shared the stage with national acts such as the Guess Who, Chris Rock, America, Supertramp, Three Dog Night, the Samples, Vertical Horizon, Government Mule (Allman Brothers), and many more. Recht returned to his Jewish roots with his debut Jewish album, Tov, in the summer of 1999. His shift to Jewish music marked the birth of a unique blend of pop, radio-friendly music with Hebrew, Jewish text, and social responsibility.

Recht enjoys hiking and spending time with his wife, Elisa, and sons, Kobi and Tal.
