Quotes by Robbie Kowal from the article:

On Leadership: “The CEO is not this ‘special’ infallible entity who gives commands and expects results to manifest. If anything, I take more crap from my team than I dish out.”
On Company Culture: “Gather a list of company values from the whole team for each year. Put them on the wall for all to see. Amend and adjust for each new year.”
On Diversity: “I follow my mother’s example whenever possible because it makes sense from both a moral and a business perspective.”
On Success: “To be a successful executive, you need drive, self-discipline, and the ability to subvert your ego.”
On Advice: “If you can’t afford to lose it, don’t do the show.”

We chose to do a silent disco at our wedding to keep the party going after the sound ordinance required us to turn off amplified music. Hush came highly recommended by our DJ company, and they were so so awesome! They were incredibly easy to work with and communicative throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, they coordinated everything with our DJ and transitioned from amplified sound to silent disco seamlessly. The headsets and sound quality were great, and the disco was a huge success. Our guests are still talking about it. Don't hesitate to book with Hush for your event!

We rented Headsets for a Silent Disco and it was amazing. Hush Concerts staff were easy to work with and quick to respond. Headsets arrived on time and they were excellent quality and easy to use. The sound quality, battery life, and range of the headsets were amazing. So much fun having multiple channels at the same.Completely happy renting from Hush Concerts.

Silent disco was a hit for our senior community at Drake Terrace! Our Silent Disco Senior Tour is just beginning and we're very happy to have HUSHconcerts as our partner. Thanks for making this so much fun! Adam and his team have been amazing. Thanks again! We're looking forward to the next event.
