Episode 526: Building the Boat While the Water is Rising with Scott Wachter - Get A Grip Finale Part 5 of 6

Building the Boat While the Water is Rising with Scott Wachter [Pat: this is the new title changed from the live stream] In this second-to-final episode of Get a Grip on Lighting, hosts Michael and Greg sit down with Scott Wachter — the mind behind the Lighting Industry News Brief and a key player in countless NAILD projects since 2019. ✨ Highlights: Scott reflects on his journey from theater kid to the lighting industry’s go-to reporter. Behind-the-scenes stories: live stream chaos, hilarious committee misfires, and the infamous “gun case in Vegas.” The art of writing quirky titles (“TVs Blossom” explained!) and why reporting beats opinion-driven journalism. Favorite wins, surprising failures, and the joy of seeing the News Brief chart alongside CNN and Bloomberg. Scott’s next chapter: taking over Restoring Darkness and pushing it to new heights. 🔥 Why watch? This episode is part farewell, part celebration — honoring Scott as the “George Harrison” of the Get a Grip band.
