| 100. Hosting events with Candy Valentino of the Founders Organization | 04 May 2022 | 00:24:45 | |
In this episode, we talk about hosting events and the importance for your business. Candy is hosting the Wealth & Business Summit May 18 - 20, 2022 in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are offering you a HUGE discount on the attendee fee. The code is "FF" and gives you $1200 off general admission for a rate of $797 and $2200 off VIP for a rate of $1297. https://foundersorganization.com Candy Valentino built her first multi-million dollar business before she could legally order a drink. Born into poverty with two teenage parents, she started her multi-million dollar business at 19 years old with no degree, no corporate background, no money (and no internet). She successfully started, scaled, and successfully sold businesses in service, retail, e-commerce, and product manufacturing in addition to creating a vast real estate portfolio as a flipper and investor. At the age of 26, Candy founded a non-profit charity. Through her success in business, she bought and donated a building to the organization. Since then they have saved thousands of lives and later she expanded the mission by adding a second location and creating a 62 acre farm sanctuary. Candy has been actively involved for the last 15 years, personally raising millions for the charity. During her two and a half decades as an entrepreneur she has been named to Top Business Leaders 40 Under 40, Top 50 Women In Business, 10 People Making a Difference, Top 10 Business Consultants by Yahoo Finance, was the youngest female to receive the Governor’s Award in Entrepreneurship in Pennsylvania, was recently selected by Success Magazine as one of just 6 ‘Women of Influence’ and additionally listed to ‘Leaders Who Get Results’ with names like Will Smith, Gary Vee and Brene Brown. She’s been featured and interviewed in numerous TV, radio, magazine and newspaper articles – not only for business and entrepreneurship -- but for her advocacy, charity and philanthropic work – and was just named ‘Persons of Distinction’ for business in Arizona. Leveraging her 24 years of experience amassed from creating successful businesses in multiple industries, Candy created Founders Organization. With an unmatched business community, focus on business development and entrepreneur education, Founders Organization supports entrepreneurs in their pursuit of growth, scale and ease in their businesses. Created by actual founders and experienced entrepreneurs, it’s no wonder why they’ve been dubbed the “disrupter” of the business development space.

| 96. Tips for hosting retreats | 06 Apr 2022 | 00:07:58 | |
Do you want an event planner at your fingertips? Text me with your event questions! 480-530-5182 https://my.community.com/sarahbrush I just attended an incredible retreat for Powerhouse Women last weekend and I am SO inspired by the power of live connection and retreat experiences to create major transformation. Here are 10 tips for hosting retreats. 1. The attendee connection and support is everything. Really look at who is being invited to the program or retreat to make sure the dynamic will be positive. 2. Pick a location has the vibe you want, is photo worthy and has the space you need for sleeping, eating and meeting. Don’t forget to check parking and noise restrictions 3. If you can afford it, hire a photographer and videographer to capture the experience. 4. If you don’t have an event planner, ask someone you know to come and help me BTS helping organize, set-up, also take photos/video and just be your helper so you can focus on the people there. 5. Create an agenda that allows for group discussions, breaks, free time, reflection. One thing I loved with the Powerhouse Women retreat is having the mornings open to go on walks together, talk, work out, have breakfast. 6. Bring food into the experience and have a chef that creates beautiful dishes that are weaved into the already inspiring environment. 7. Add in surprises like special guest to speak, goodie bags, branded items, a notebook is a must. Love the idea of doing something small each morning. 8. Add in experiences outside of the sessions like fitness, sound healing or other things that create connection and fun. You can even survey attendees in advance to see what some of their favorite activities are. 9. Make sure the sleeping arrangements are very clear. 10. Have a container to connect after the event to keep the conversation and experience going. Like a Voxer group, FB group, song playlist. Also, do a survey and request testimonials.

| 73. Behind the scenes - tips to keep your event running smoothly | 27 Oct 2021 | 00:08:36 | |
I have been on-site for hundreds of events and there are many plans you can put in place to create a smooth on-site experience for not only the attendees, but your internal team, vendors and venue staff! 1. Establish a go-to communication plan with your event team and vendors. You need to be able to reach people instantly and communicate as a group with various people. For example, set-up a group for Production, a group for video and photo and a group for event staff. You can do group texts, Whats app, Slack or others methods. Make sure you set this up before you go on-site. 2. Always be in touch with your registration team so you know the attendee check-in numbers and the experience that is occuring. This will help if attendee numbers are low and you may want to pull chairs so the room still looks full or if there is an attendee with a challenge at registration you can address it quickly so they do not have to wait. 3. Make sure you have a welcoming team in the meeting room or ballroom to assist attendees with seating or any questions they might have. 4. Think of your sponsors, vendors, and venue staff as an extension of your team. Before your event, it’s important that you provide them with one central point of contact so they can easily communicate with your team on-site. VIP speakers or talent should have their own person assigned to make sure they feel like they have someone available for them when they need it. 5. Set up signage so it is clear to attendees where things are located and as an added bonus, human directionals to help attendees personally find their location. Many events also have info desks to help support attendee needs. 6. Depending on your event and budget, having a mobile app on-site is a great way to keep continuous communication with your attendees or you can do daily emails to wrap up the day and set the tone for the following day. 7. This a pre-event item, but also flows into on-site. Always make sure to ask attendees for their dietary requirements when they register so you can ensure to have special meals available for them, if needed. Also, ensure food stations and buffets are labeled in detail so it is easy for attendees to figure out what they can and can’t eat. If your budget allows, I always suggest having nonstop coffee, water, and soft drinks through out the day versus just at specific times. Coffee can be a very sensitive topic and quite upsetting when it is missing. 😊 8. Set it up so attendees can easily share event photos and tag your event on social media. You can set-up signage or include it on a digital PPT loop to remind attendees to share their experience at the event. 9. Be really clear on your call to action after the event. You don’t want them to leave with all of the momentum and energy with no place to go with it. Do you want to invite them to join a program, sign-up for the next event, join a post-event webinar etc.. 10. Do an on-site survey to gage feedback while attendees are excited and inspired. It's also good to do a survey post-event. Thanks for listening and supporting entrepreneurs and the small business community!
