In this episode of Risk Management: Brick by Brick, host Jason Reichl sits down with Annie Quaile, an Emmy-nominated entertainment producer and event manager with over two decades of experience designing global attractions and festivals. Annie shares her unique philosophy on "Designing Safe Magic," rooted in her background as both a high-level creative producer and a trained emergency responder. The conversation explores the critical intersection of human psychology and operational safety, revealing why the key to mitigating risk isn't just technology, but understanding the predictable movement patterns of humans in both calm and critical situations. From identified venue risks in Atlanta to extreme weather protocols in Florida water parks, Annie explains why "widening the aperture" and empowering front-line volunteers is the only way to protect the creative intent without compromising safety.
