Ep 29 - Locked Out of My First Event
Most people only share the highlight reel, but behind every sold out event is a venue booked further away than expected, a chair-count panic, and a smart-door that had other ideas.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my first Perth event... the wins that surprised me, the wobbles that tested me, and the mindset that got me through all of it:
- Why I missed a podcast episode and why that was actually the right call,
- The moments from the day that reminded me why live, in room connection is something I want to keep building, and
- How I handled everything from delayed access codes to negative commentary on social media, and came out the other side.
In this episode you'll learn:
- The "rubber vs glass balls" framework for deciding what to drop when life and business collide
- Why seeing attendees define their dream lives in the same room is something no online event can replicate
- How to recognise that your everyday knowledge, like business ecosystems and using AI tools like Claude, isn't common knowledge at all
- What it means to choose integrity over a standard high-ticket pitch, and how to tell the difference between alignment and fear
- The five wobbles from the day (venue, access codes, chairs, a smart-door, and social media) and the contingency mindset that handled every one of them
- How to claim a new identity in your business, and why calling yourself someone who runs events matters more than you think
Thank you to everyone who attended the event! What a blast!
