Thirty-four years in, and he still says the hardest part is selling while he is buried in his busiest season. In this conversation we get into the parts of running an event business that never make the highlight reel: who to hire first, why his slow month is decided three months before it arrives, and what it actually felt like to change the positioning of a 32 year old company and wait to find out if anyone would follow him.
If you have been quietly wondering whether the way you built your business still works, start at 39:32.
