TIPS FROM LEGENDARY DRAG ICON AND PHILANTHROPIC POWERHOUSE DR. POISON WATERS

Two Beats Working episodes in one email? You’re in for a TREAT this week!

First, Alysse Bryson and Libby Sundgren are joined by the hilarious, legendary drag icon and philanthropic powerhouse Dr. Poison Waters (aka Dr. Kevin Cook). Poison shares four decades of hard-earned event wisdom, revealing what separates average hosts from unforgettable ones and detailing how to turn pre-show nerves and mid-event mishaps into standing ovations.

Next, Sandra Kelley is in the hot seat, telling our hosts what it REALLY takes to last 25 years in the event industry. From her early days hiding behind lighting rigs to leading massive 15,000-person productions, Sandra pulls back the curtain on the grit, kinship, and recovery rituals that keep event pros in the game. This isn’t about glamour — it’s about the humans behind the headset and why relationships matter more than any run-of-show.
