What I chose to write about for this post is Clair Brothers. Clair Brothers is in my opinion (and the opinion of many others) the biggest name in the live event production industry. Clair Brothers is responsible for almost all events that are put on world wide. They specialize in giving top of the line production in both audio and visual elements. Clair Brothers does events such as concerts, but also does the audio and lighting work for houses of worship, venues, cruise ships, educational institutions, corporate events, and much more.
When I went to Clair Brothers website, I was able to go to a part of their website titled Clair Brothers Audio Products. In this section of their website, Clair Brothers not only talks about what gear they create, but also talks about up to date events Clair Brothers has been/is currently working on. Why I believe this is important is because of what Clair Brothers influence on my industry is. Clair Brothers is with out a doubt, the leading of its kind in the business world. Therefore, it is easy to say that their products speak for themselves. Clair Brothers is known for creating unique sound systems that give above and beyond performance. The influence that this has had on my industry, is huge. Before live event production started becoming a big deal, there was little to no business for companies that wanted to create live event gear. Now however, the live event industry is one of the biggest industries in the world. I fully believe that this is because of Clair Brothers. Clair Brothers' remarkable sound products have given people a new outlook onto what sound is supposed to be. I feel that through the development of their products, the world has taken how events sound more and more seriously. Which in result, gives people like me a job to do at the end of the day.
In conclusion, I believe that through the development of Clair Brothers, the production industry has developed as a whole. The technology advancements that have been made have only given my industry more and more reasons to expand and be in need. No matter what happens in life, I believe that there will always be a need for live entertainment. Therefore, I truly believe that I will always have a job. I have Clair Brothers to thank for that.

Jeff Smith Speech
The speech I chose to watch was given by Jeff Smith. Jeff Smith was supposed to be a big role in the Missouri State Senate. However, when he was charged with covering up an election law violation, he instead went to prison. In his speech, Mr.Smith addresses a few things that he learned and saw while he was in prison. The biggest one however, was the potential that he saw in the men that he spent his time in jail with.
At the beginning of his speech, Mr.Smith begins by telling people about one of his inmates named E.J. He tells viewers about E.J's future visions of leaving the drug dealing business and entering into the adult film industry. He informs listeners that E.J. spent ten thousand dollars to buy an adult website that features women having sex on top of sports cars. This, Mr.Smith explained was the beginning of what opened his eyes about what prison really is. By opening his speech with this segment, I found Mr.Smith to be an extremely "personal" individual. Although his humor may actually be discussing serious events, the way that Mr.Smith displays his sense of humor and relaxed personality gives viewers right off the bat a very relaxed feeling while listening to his speech. As I myself began watching the speech, I felt a very humble connection with Mr.Smith. His peacefulness and sense of humor gave him a "human" personality, as opposed to just sounding like a robot like many other speakers.
In the rest of his speech, Mr.Smith then continues to inform listeners about how the men in jail are in reality, extremely talented businessmen that aren't given the chance to use their integrity for success. Everything, he explained, in prison is a business deal. Some men he explained, would actually work for their money and success, while others would do the dirty work such as sell cigarettes, dirty magazines, and even give jail cell tattoos. In my eyes, Mr.Smith did an outstanding job with his speech. He was confident, relaxed, and personal when explaining his opinions and the events he witnessed. By doing this, Mr.Smith gained my trust and support for his cause.
In conclusion, I found Mr.Smith's speech to be informative and helpful. In my eyes, it helped me look at the bigger picture of things when looking at people who are in prison. Sometimes society will look at these people as being "lower" then the rest of us, but I find this to be extremely inaccurate. Mr.Smith's speech proved that people sometimes have more potential then we as society give them credit for. I personally related to this because of a family member I have who had gone to prison for drug dealing. In the end, Mr.Smith's speech helped me understand not only what prison life is like, but how we as society have a mission to help those in prison to use their integrity and successful business plans to succeed in life.
