Put The Pedal To The Metal In Akron This Weekend!
If you're looking for something fun and maybe a little different to do this weekend in Akron; head on over to Bowery Street, where Akron's Earthquaker Devices is having their annual "Earthquaker Day" with factory tours, live music, DIY recording demonstrations, and more. That company, which makes guitar effects pedals for musicians and bands, is one of the topics we're getting into, on today's edition of "This Week in Tech with Jeanne Destro". We're starting out with a look at what manufacturers nationwide are going through, as they try to navigate the choppy waters of President Trump's on again-off again tariffs. Are they a good thing, or a bad thing? Will they bring in more business, or drive away customers who get spooked by higher prices? We'll find out from Ethan Karp, who is the President and CEO of the non-profit manufacturing consulting firm MAGNET, in Cleveland. He recently wrote an article for Forbes, about how tariffs are affecting manufacturers, and what might be ahead. Then, we'll listen in on WAKR Morning Show Host, Ray Horner's recent interview with Jamie Stillman, the founder and chief designer at Earthquaker Devices. He's the mastermind behind many of those cool guitar effects you hear in your favorite songs, and as you'll hear; it all started because he couldn't find anybody to fix his favorite guitar effects pedal. That was 20 years ago, and now, with 34 employees and a local factory that turns out products sold all over the world; he's got something big to celebrate, and you can share it this weekend at his company's annual Earthquaker Day Festival. Listen now for more, and rock on!
