My guest in this week's episode is Chris Connolly! ✌🌎

Chris is the general manager of the Iowa Events Center. Since taking on the role in 2011, the Iowa Events Center has seen continued financial success and attracted some of the biggest sports events in the United States and some of the biggest artists in the world. In our conversation, he gave me an inside look into how they were able to attract these events, how they were able to retain them, their complicated current contract situation and, as always, much more.
