Episode Highlights:

01:45 - I realized that was really where my passion was, being on stage and then event facilitation. Event emcee-ing was something that that came into my world, and I could be happy doing nothing else but this.

05:48 - The magic happens when I can have a little bit more of a back and forth and conversation around what's the vision of the event and what are we trying to accomplish, and offer input and suggestions in a way that still leaves the person in-charge in charge.

07:22 - Businesses like yours that as you're starting and growing, you know what you're doing. As far as your craft, you understand your business, but do you understand the money side of it? And that's hopefully where you can find a good partner or a mentor to help you along the way.
