A lot of integrators come to their profession from music and live sound, so the idea that music has a healing power is no stranger to many of you. But one company is taking that notion very seriously in order to do some good work in their community.
Just Add Power global sales manager Taft Stricklin has seen this phenomenon in action a lot during the past six years as part of his involvement with Guitars for Vets.
After reading a social media post by his sister’s husband about veteran suicide, he found this organization and felt a personal connection to their cause – not only because of their mission to protect veterans, but also because he’s an owner of almost 200 guitars.
On Episode 124 of AV+…
- On this episode of AV+, our editor Craig MacCormack talks to Taft about what he does to help out and what other integrators can do if they’re interested.

The Commercial Integrator Podcast
The phrase ‘pro AV’ doesn’t do justice to all of the integration crowd, so we at Commercial Integrator wanted to create a podcast that speaks to all of those areas (and more!) under the umbrella of commercial tech integration.
The host, web editor Adam Forziati, has a background in radio and is looking forward to providing listeners with an entertaining, informative audio forum for all topics affecting the industry.
Podcast Release Schedule
We plan to release a shorter, single-topic episode once every week or two on Fridays (just like this episode). But at the end of each month, we’ll also drop a longer, in-depth episode of the AV podcast with features like Editor’s Desk, CI Monthly News Spotlight, CI’s Project of the Month, and more.
We hope you’ll share your thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #AVPlusPod !
