Anyone else feel like it’s a little “weird” in the wedding industry right now? Actually, it’s probably been about a year since it started, but we’re just now starting to talk about it openly.…

CRMs are a big part of any successful business. They help organize information, get contracts signed, collect payments, build a database of potential referrers, and streamline workflows.…

Today I chat with top photographer, Joseph Rogero Mills, a client I first met back in 2023. I remember getting the inquiry and looking him up online.…

My brother owns a talent company in Los Angeles, and I once asked him what he did for his clients. He thought for a while, then said, “I manage their expectations.” …

In the intro to the podcast you hear me say it’s hard to own your own business. Especially if it’s a business of one.

Why? Because you’ve got to do ALL the things – even if you’re not good at them or love doing them.…

Last week I sent out a newsletter about a “correction” in the wedding market last year, and the impact we’re feeling in our businesses this year – and likely next year too.…

You know the saying: It’s good to learn from your mistakes?

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!

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.

Relatable and pragmatic

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

Wedding Industry MUST LISTEN
