271. Nikki Sanz Of Giggs

In Episode 271, Sean sits down with Nikki Sanz, founder and CEO of Giggs, a platform designed to revolutionize how professionals in the live event industry hire, find work, and connect — essentially a LinkedIn for our word-of-mouth, niche market. This episode is sponsored by Allen & Heath and RCF.After working with a diverse range of clients including Live Nation, the Ryman Auditorium, CMA Fest, and touring with Eric Church, Nikki pivoted from the “gigxiety” and challenges of both finding gigs for herself and staffing other positions to taking the leap to do something proactive about it, and Giggs was the result. Since launching in April 2024, it has welcomed more that 16,000 users and 650 companies, helping them find each other across all facets of the live event industry, from concert touring to corporate.Episode Links:GiggsGiggs PodcastGiggs BlogGiggs On InstagramGiggs On FacebookEpisode 271 TranscriptBe sure to check out the Signal To Noise Facebook Group and Discord Server.
