Shownotes Transcript

Hey Bapl Nation,

Every now and then there is a guest on the calendar that I eagerly await to meet. My recent guest, Kevin Donnelly) from True North Sports and Entertainment, was one of those circles on my calendar.

Who is Kevin Donnelly? Plain and simple—he’s a concert and event promoter.

Not just any concert and event promoter.

On a macro scale, he’s an influence of culture and musical taste in Western Canada, bringing the world’s biggest artists and events to Winnipeg, Canada for the last 40 + years.

As a fan of music and culture, I have had a front row seat to Kevin’s career here in the Lab. And I was like a kid in a candy store when I got the opportunity to meet with him and discuss the ins-and-outs of an industry that entertains so many of us.

Yet so many of us don’t understand how it all works. And for those who want to know, this is a fascinating interview.

  • We talked about the aging rockers still rolling around the planet.

  • We talked about Taylor Swift’s influence on culture.

  • We talked about The Sphere in Vegas.

  • PLUS so much more…

If you’re a fan of music and culture, you’ll enjoy today’s conversation.

Cheers,Keith
