This week, in an unexpected move, the NHL has banned the use of "pride tape;" a rainbow hockey tape some players have used to express inclusion. Kurt Weaver is with the You Can Play Project, which advocates for LGBTQ+ people to be welcome in sports. Kristopher Wells is a co-creator of Pride Tape. They speak with CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

Elevate with us as we take a trip to the Mile High City, Denver, Colorado, and chat with Brian Kitts, Chief Marketing & Business Development Officer for Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Learn what it's like to have your venue on everyone else's bucket list, and all the many unique and memorable parts of Red Rocks Amphitheatre – a national historic landmark that's 80+ years old as a venue, 300 million years old as a location. With the Event & Venue Marketing Conference coming to Denver in June 2024, we talk about what people can expect from the city, unique locations, and the growth and changes since the last time the conference was there in 2005. Brian also walks us through his journey from attending the University of Denver (where he now teaches sports and entertainment marketing) and going to his first shows at Red Rocks to a short stint with Walt Disney Pictures and 20th Century Fox right out of grad school. Brian then returned to Denver to work for the sports teams right as Stan Kroenke purchased and forever changed sports in the city to the energetic atmosphere it is today. We also talk with him about the You Can Play Project, which he co-founded, which works to develop allies and increase acceptance and inclusion in sports. Put on that iconic U2 performance at Red Rocks in the background and listen along with us for this fun, informative episode with great tips for people entering the live event industry.Brian Kitts: LinkedIn | EmailRed Rocks Amphitheatre: Facebook | Twitter/X | InstagramDenver Performing Arts Complex: Facebook | Instagram

When things are going well...that's not what accelerates a business forward. It's how you react when things aren't going as well” {9:20} - Ari Segal “If you want to be a transactional place, you're going to be in out of business pretty quick” {25:49} - Derek Marso “Everybody is trying to build the biggest fan base. Let's build the most passionate fan base.” {37:03} - Ari Segal “It's easy to execute on the ground when [the] infrastructure is in place and stable. {17:54} - Ari Segal “Do you know when people in a typical work week peak in terms of happiness? It's actually thursday night or friday morning. It's because they're anticipating the weekend. ” {49:24} - Ari Segal “I'm listening to someone talking about breaking down a hog and it makes me hungry? That's completely irrational, but it's because in my mind, our brain does gymnastics for us, right? Our brain starts a journey. {50:52} - Ari Segal “It's easy if you're consistent. I'm telling this community, we share your values, so I have to back that up.” {1:10:57} - Ari Segal
