<v Speaker 2>it is definitely not. We have so many gift items,

20

125
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>we try to make it as easy as possible for

126
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>our patrons and customers to come in and shop.

127
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 1>We're speaking with Marylynnemim and she is with Okay and music.

128
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Now another thing coming up is intern program and we

129
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>get to visit a lot with your interns each and

130
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>every year and many times during the course of the year.

131
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 1>And I want to tell you you're turning out some

132
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty darn good kids.

133
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>We're pretty proud of them, you know, and I think

134
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>it's important. You know, I am very lucky and fortunate

135
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 2>to have gone to Saint John's School myself as well

136
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>as my daughter. And one of the things they focus

137
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.759
<v Speaker 2>on is public speaking. But I know a lot of

138
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>kids don't have that opportunity and experience, and I think

139
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that that is something that really helps development overall skills.

140
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's important for are used to be

141
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 2>introduced to to experience. And so I try to bring

142
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the interns with me or I send them by themselves,

143
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>which is probably even more silly to do radio interviews

144
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 2>them to go, you know, present at different clubs like

145
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>literally as an example, and so, you know, I think

146
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>it's something that you know, public speaking is an important skill.

147
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a very youthful still. And yeah, we're very very

148
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 2>proud of Na who has I think been on those

149
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>recently and of course yourself, and they are both coming back.

150
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 2>We're also having Monolin who is coming back. But currently

151
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 2>we still have some spots left for our internship programs

152
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and it basically focuses on the high school seniors. We

153
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 2>try to get eighteen and older, and then our main

154
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>focus is on college students. But you know, certainly and

155
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy to interview a student who maybe is going

156
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>into those senior year. We have made exceptions because we

157
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>have amazing kids and buddlefolk who are interested. And you

158
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 2>don't have to be a music major to do this.

159
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 2>You could be interested in business, to be interested in development,

160
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 2>you could be interested in technology. There are a lot

161
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 2>of different aspects retailed because we have our little stops,

162
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of different aspects of those cam

163
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 2>that a young person can learn a skill set or

164
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 2>learned the behind the scenes. So if you're interested, basically

165
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>it's for interning for our OPM Music Festival, which is

166
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>an annual accestival that we have every year. It's a

167

<v Speaker 1>First. Wow, we that's a lot going on. And I'll

201
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you that each and every one of the interns

202
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 1>that we've spoken with, they said that they were exposed

203
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of really cool experiences that you're not

204
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 1>really going to find in school. You're going to hear

205
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>about them. But this is so very hands on and

206
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 1>so varied and so wide. But the experience at this

207
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 1>level is just priceless in their eyes.

208
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's really special in the sense that we

209
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 2>try to when they felt their application, we have them

210
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 2>the areas that they have interest in, the areas that

211
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.639
<v Speaker 2>they have experience and from box office, which would be

212
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 2>ticket sales and software, social media creating campaigns, learning how

213
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 2>to do the production of the social media campaigns, learning

214
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>about online analytics, and then we go into marketing, which

215
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>is graphic design, in person sales, event production, which could

216
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:01.559
<v Speaker 2>be a lighting down behind the scenes, running errands for artists,

217
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>helping pick artists up from airport, that kind of thing,

218
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to booking in hotel rooms and whatnot, which pretty much

219
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 2>we reready done. But that is something that we just

220
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.960
<v Speaker 2>all help with because they are my full time interns

221
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>throughout the year, and then our course helping with our

222
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>children's programming. So I mean, I think it's an opportunity

223
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>for them to get to learn about something if they

224
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>think they want to go into an industry, or they're

225
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 2>interested in something that they're just not quite sure or

226
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of like myself when I go to the bar conference,

227
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I typically pick out courses that I don't know anything

228
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>about because I want to learn about something new. So

229
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe they just want to learn about something new, is

230
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to it. The other thing that's really fun is that

231
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I think you could make lifelong friendships and you get

232
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to meet other students, maybe some Puddle school, but they

233
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>may be from Gecial. We've had ou we've had texts

234
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>represented that on sending University of Arizona, we could piss

235
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>them all over, and so I it's a fun way

236
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 2>to get to meet other students and hang out for

237
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>that couple of weeks. But then the really cool part

238
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I think that especially like it yourself would really appreciate

239
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 2>is getting to be behind the scenes and get to

240
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>meet these artists in person, into their stories and learn

241
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 2>their life experience and make those contacts and connections. Because

242
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 2>if it is an industry that you're interested in going into,

243
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 2>whether it's nonprofit or music, I mean, what better way

244
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>then to get to be part of it but to

245
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>meet the actful artists who are performing for us. So

246
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a really neat opportunity. We put you

247
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 2>to work. We don't toddle you. I mean, you become

248
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.879
<v Speaker 2>part of the team and you are expected to put

249
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>your weight. So I think that's also something that may

250
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 2>be different than sometimes when the intern we actually we've

251
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>got us to it right in the middle of what

252
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 2>we're doing, and at that point it is a very

253
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>crazy time. It is very busy, but we love our interns.

254
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 2>We couldn't do it without our interns, and so we

255
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>are very grateful for them. And you know, we have

256
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 2>interns we turn every year, so I think that says

257
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 2>something about the program. And again we love just selling

258
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.799
<v Speaker 2>and as a lead, an incredible difference for us. And

259
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>we are excited to have them back, excited to have Madeline.

260
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.399
<v Speaker 1>And can't wait to meet the new and very good

261
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen. Mary Lynn Mim If you have any questions,
