We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Brian “Goldy” Goldrich a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Brian “Goldy” thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?
Naming BeeHive Productions is a story close to my heart. Back in the mid-’90s, I was navigating the college radio scene, trying to carve out my place in the world of music and entertainment. It was during those early days on the airwaves that I stumbled upon my DJ moniker, DJ Golden B, thanks to a funny encounter with radio personalities Ryan and Brian.
You see, there was a bit of a running joke on the show—”NO MORE Brians.” So when it came time for me to pick a DJ name, they playfully dubbed me DJ Golden B on the spot. It was spontaneous and whimsical, and it stuck. From that moment on, I was DJ Golden B.
Fast forward, and I needed a business name to start invoicing people for my work. Around that time, a friend of mine at a classic bar called Washingtons in Fort Collins, Colorado, came up with the perfect suggestion. Since I was already DJ Golden B, he thought I should be called BeeHive Productions. The name was a nod to my bustling hive of activity and buzzing creativity – a perfect fit for the dynamic energy I brought to my work.
I instantly fell in love with the name BeeHive Productions. It encapsulated everything I wanted my brand to represent – creativity, energy, and a sense of community. So, in 1999, I officially embraced the name, and BeeHive Productions was born.
Since then, BeeHive Productions has become more than just a name – it symbolizes innovation, inspiration, and unwavering dedication. From electrifying DJ sets to meticulously curated events, BeeHive Productions continues to set the standard for excellence in the industry.
And through it all, I’m proud to carry on the legacy of BeeHive Productions, weaving a tapestry of joy, connection, and celebration with each beat, each note, and each unforgettable moment.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
