In this episode, Mary and Logan talk all about how to start an event business - for event planners, event producers, and beyond. From our own business origin stories to things we wish we knew when we started and our favorite business resources, the episode is filled with small business advice. If you’re thinking about starting a business, side hustle, or want to learn more about how we both got started in events, this episode is for you.
