We've all been there.  You can't always get what you want.  Sometimes it happens early in the design process and you have time to work through a substitution, and sometimes it happens when product shows up and you've got the cases open (surprise!).  Either way, knowing how to approach handling changes is important.   AJ, Jamie, and Bo reminisce on some of their personal experiences where they had to work through product substitution problems.   Support the Sh*t Show!!

Inspiration has a funny way of finding a pyro.  The artists inside us are always in pursuit of it.  At times, finding it can come as easily as drawing breath, and other times our inability to accept it can choke us.  Sometimes it creeps up on us to take us by surprise...and other times it's hidden in plain sight though the parts of our lives we experience every day.  Whichever form inspiration presents itself in; we know that you were born to use what inspires you to bring a cool show experience into the world.  What inspires you to create?  In this episode, AJ, Jamie, and Bo turn the looking glass inward to explore the origins of the inspirations that lead them to pyromusical and show design square one.
