Maverick on Monday
Clear thinking. Once a week.
Maverick on Monday is our weekly newsletter, written from the sharp end of live events.
It’s where we share what we’re seeing, what we’re learning, and what actually matters when you’re delivering high-pressure events with real people, real timelines, and real consequences.
Why We Write It
We started Maverick on Monday because we saw a gap.
Plenty of noise. Plenty of opinion.
Not enough calm, clear thinking from people actually doing the work.
The newsletter is a space to slow things down a little – to reflect on what’s working, what’s changing, and how to navigate this industry without burning out, cutting corners, or creating unnecessary drama.
It’s written for clients, freelancers, and anyone who cares about doing events properly.
What You’ll Find Inside
Each edition usually includes a mix of:
- Observations from live events and rehearsals
- Practical lessons learned the hard way
- Thoughts on crew, communication, leadership, and pressure
- Small details that make a big difference on show day
Sometimes it’s tactical.
Sometimes it’s reflective.
It is always grounded in real-world experience.
