As entrepreneurs, we are often faced with the big decision (even more so post covid) to host an off site conference, summit, meeting, retreat, or other with our company and team members.  These events are a big financial and resource investment.  In this episode, John asks Rich (a master at running events) to help define the keys to running a great event.

The result of the conversation is the idea of running an Entrepreneurs United Retreat in 2023!  Let us know if this is something you would be interested in attending by emailing us at [email protected]
