In my 10 years in the wedding industry, I have yet to find a resource as valuable for wedding professionals. I truly can't believe it's free!

I have found it extremely helpful in understanding and deciding who my ideal client is and how to set up my processes to best serve them and sell to them. Thanks Sam, I love your content!

Sam's content is informative and actionable.

A must listen!

Everything I've been looking for!

Dean Doodles

I've been listening to the podcast daily ever since I found it a few weeks ago. I'm about to binge more on my long drive to a wedding this weekend. I can already picture myself saying, "Hey Siri, create anew note..."

This podcast has a gold mine of information for wedding pros looking to uplevel, target their ideal buyer, and define their messaging - it's a master class in a free podcast, and to pass it by is a mistake.

Sam is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and he doesn't hold back. His advice is timely - he certainly has a pulse on the industry's pain points.

Sam is a wealth of experience and information on the marketing side of the events industry. As a wedding planner of 10+ years, I still learn, grown and test new practices. This podcast has been an enjoyable resource for doing just that.

I normally listen to podcasts at 1.5 speed, but everything in this podcast is such gold that I take the time to listen to it. Each episode is very specific and has practical tips you can actually use in your business.

It has really opened up my mind to different avenues, strategies and possibilities for my business. My only regret is that I did not discover this podcast sooner!

So many good nuggets of information

Deep dive with real help and no fluff
