Taurus Tech Talk is back with episode 19!
This is a very special episode of Taurus Tech Talk as it was recorded live at Taurus’ 4th Annual Technologies Showcase.
We had the privilege of being joined by Robert Dutton of Legrand, and Marc Harrison of Crestron.
This was a particular fun episode as we wanted to say hi to everyone during the middle of the show, who might not have been able to make it to this year’s Technology Showcase.
Thanks again to Robert and Marc for taking the time out for the very busy day to join us in recording this podcast.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the next Technologies Showcase!

Another Friday, another Taurus Tech Talk!
This week we kick off a brand-new series called ‘Getting to Know Taurus’. The idea behind this series is to show off all the personalities that make Taurus such a special place to work.
We start the series off with one of the biggest personalities in the office, Tim O’Quinn.
Tim has been with Taurus for just over 7 years and currently leads the design team, where he works with the sales to ensure the client’s vision come to life.
In the podcast we covered some of the hard-hitting topics of today such as why Tim is not an Astronaut or The President, what Tim’s spirit animal is, and why he is always quoting Space Balls on sales calls.
Thank you, Tim for taking part in the podcast, and thank you for making sure there is never a dull day at Taurus.

In our very first virtual recording of Taurus Tech Talk, we’re joined by Fernando Laclette and Steve Stacy from Almo Pro AV, a value-add distributor with a focus on the integration community. Our discussion centers around the changes we’ve all witnessed these last few months with the pandemic and the increased demand for work-from-home capabilities the AV industry has seen as a result. Both Steve and Fernando offer some advice on how to curate the best work from home experience possible, from daily routines to how to best operate video conferencing from home. We also spend some time discussing the unexpected pros that have come out of these unprecedented times as well as the encouraging way businesses have been able to pivot their offerings to better suit the new world we've found ourselves in.
