Wax the coping and drop into the half pipe with us as we skate down to sunny Phoenix, Arizona to talk with Steven Kargol, Director of Arena Marketing at Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns, Mercury, and Rattlers. Come with us on this episode’s adventure, as Steven takes us through his career – from a skater kid attending Vans Warped Tour, to multiple stints on the promoter and venue sides, and learning from valuable experience in group sales and marketing. We discuss Footprint Center’s efforts to reduce plastics, how relationships and kindness can chart your industry success, and even some fun arena hacks. This is a great episode for people looking to take some calculated career risks, learn how to push for what you need to be successful in your job, and advice on navigating to and from businesses to land at the ideal situation for your talent and skills. Grab that suntan lotion and meet us in The Valley.
