#42 What Really Moves a Show | [Exclusive] ShowShuttle and Extreme Lighting & Sound

Step inside the shop that keeps tours moving. In this episode, we go behind the scenes at Extreme Lighting & Sound (ELS) for an exclusive look at their team, their process, and the ShowShuttle—the modular cart system built to speed up load-ins, reduce chaos, and keep crews safer.From welding bays to machining, you’ll see how ELS designs, fabricates, and stress-tests the gear that actually moves a show. We talk to employees and sit down with the owners to unpack the real-world problems they’re solving on the road—what breaks, what bottlenecks crews, and how smarter carts can save hours without compromising show quality. If you work in touring, production, or venue ops, this one’s for you: practical workflow ideas, design nuance, and the mindset behind equipment that pays for itself in efficiency.And if you’re listening to the audio version, make sure to watch the full video on YouTube or Spotify for the best viewing experience—the shop tour and product demos are where it clicks.Learn more about ELS and their products at: https://www.elsnashville.com/Find your next Gigg and join the #1 community for the live events industry: https://www.giggs.live/Stay up to date:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giggs.liveYoutube: https://youtube.com/@giggs-liveLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/giggs-llc/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@giggs.liveHost: Nikki Sanz
