In this episode of The Turn One Studio Podcast, host Eliud Custodio sits down with Dawn Cagliano of IVCi, an audiovisual integrator that designs and supports integrated spaces including immersive boardrooms, video conferencing rooms, digital signage and video walls.

They talk about what it means to “create spaces that connect people” in three ways: better collaboration in the office, smoother hybrid meetings and stronger brand connection through digital signage. Dawn also shares how IVCi approaches customer experience, proactive monitoring and why they don’t lead with a platform when recommending Zoom, Teams or Webex.

Highlights include:

• Why return-to-office fails when the space doesn’t support collaboration
• How AV and managed services have changed since the 90s
• Robots as “mobile digital signage” and practical use cases in healthcare and hospitality
• A high-pressure pitch that led to IVCi’s mindset: large enough to serve, small enough to care
• Dawn’s involvement with HIA-LI and efforts to introduce students to AV careers

If you want your technology to work for people, not the other way around, this episode is for you.

What if networking didn’t feel like networking?

In this episode of the Turn One Studio Podcast, Eliud Custodio talks with Adam Holtzer, founder of Nooks & Socials, a business community for relationship-driven business owners and leaders who want education, connection and experiences that fit real life.

Adam explains how Nooks & Socials blends business-focused “nooks” with social “socials” and why he believes you need a “networking cocktail” that matches your goals and personality.

You’ll hear:

• Why Nooks & Socials is a business community not a networking group
• How their vetting process protects the culture
• Why they’re not category exclusive and how that supports collaboration
• How they curate 12–16 events per month based on member surveys
• Early member success stories and what happens when you show up with intention

Cameron Advertising, a Long Island agency approaching its 50th year, to unpack the difference between marketing and advertising and why that distinction matters for business owners. They discuss what clients are asking for today (including AI), why the best work starts with clear objectives like lead generation and awareness, and how creative-led problem solving and trust-based partnerships drive long-term results across industries like automotive, healthcare, and credit unions.

What’s your business really worth and how do you increase that value without being involved in every decision? Host Eliud Custodio sits down with Todd Ringler of Calm Waters Consulting and The Alternative Board (TAB) to break down business valuation, delegation, accountability, and vision planning. Todd shares his “valuator, educator, navigator” framework, why many owners accidentally build a job, and how peer advisory boards and coaching help leaders work on the business, not just in it.

Public relations is one of the most powerful marketing tools and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, host Eliud Custodio sits down with Bill Corbett of Corbett Public Relations to break down how earned media works, why third-party credibility matters, and how consistent PR builds long-term brand equity.

You’ll hear the difference between earned media and pay-to-play segments, why press releases are only one piece of the puzzle, how AI is speeding up research and writing without replacing relationships, and why repurposing media coverage across social and your website is where the real value compounds.
