SHÄDÖW focus on making tools to help DJ techs create a seamless and flawless look at any stage big or small. In 2022 Rocke teamed up with his wife & business partners, Brend and fellow DJ Tech, Justin to create a podcast called Set Times.  Set Times is a podcast featuring the people behind the scenes of music events. They want to highlight the stage production, the wonderful community and the unique venues but mostly the hard work it takes to put together these festivals that keep people partying, dancing, and singing the nights away. Their main goal is to shine a light on the people in the dark and show appreciation to those who don't always get honored.___________________Music CreditsIntroLike it Loud, Dyalla, YouTube Audio LibraryStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroIndecision, Dyalla, YouTube Audio Library__________________My SGV Podcast:www.mysgv.netinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Kelly Grandmaison, wants to thank you for being a part of her second shot at life. At 26 years old, she was diagnosed with CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome). CRPS is a debilitating illness that typically comes with a 50/50 diagnosis, years of back and forth diagnosis, and several medical treatments that cannot cure it, but can attempt to help mitigate pain.Kelly spent her senior year of college on crutches, taking 26 units, recording her first album, and going back and forth between doctors for minor procedures. Her life changed when she reached out to a woman named Mims Gordon on Facebook. She had started an advocacy page and shared her story. She was lucky enough to see Dr. Andrea Giusti in Italy and he helped her go into remission. A little over a year after that day, Kelly found herself in Italy getting the same treatment with the same doctor. By that point, she was somewhere between a wheelchair and cane, but after 10 days of treatment Kelly was walking 3 miles on her own.Kelly's life changed that day in unimaginable ways. She no longer had to limit herself to both the physical and mental confines of pain. As Carl Rogers once wrote, Kelly was finally "on her way to becoming a person". She tells her story not as a way to garner sympathy, but as a way to share where her "Why" comes from.Kelly's goal is to help grow and protect non-profits that provide people (like herself) the opportunity to get help. Each day, her goal is to make 1 person's life better, albeit even in the smallest of ways. She'd love to help you (or anyone you know) do the same.Instagram: @itsmekellyg____________________Music CreditsIntroLike it Loud, Dyalla, YouTube Audio LibraryStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroIndecision, Dyalla, YouTube Audio Library__________________My SGV Podcast:www.mysgv.netinfo@sgvmasterkey.com
