On this episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez sits down with serial entrepreneur and event strategist Nick Long, the founder of NXT90. Nick has built multiple eight-figure businesses, generating over $600 million in revenue. He is also the mastermind behind an event-driven business model that produced $1 million in just 24 hours without spending money on paid ads. His expertise in high-ticket event sales, business scalability, and exit strategies makes this conversation an absolute must-listen for event leaders looking to increase their impact and profitability.
Throughout the episode, Nick shares the key shift that transformed his approach to live events: moving beyond motivation and focusing on true transformation. He explains why most events fail to create lasting impact and how event leaders can structure experiences that drive real change for attendees. According to Nick, the real value of an event isn’t just in delivering content, but in guiding people to take action and commit to a new path forward. He introduces his framework for identifying the three types of attendees—information seekers, confronters, and transformers—while revealing how to convert more people into action-takers and high-ticket buyers.
One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is Nick’s high-ticket event sales strategy. Rather than relying on ad spend, Nick leveraged personal outreach, deep relationships, and video messages to bring the right people into the room. His method proves that authentic connections and tailored invitations can drive millions in revenue without traditional marketing. He breaks down the importance of selling from the heart, making it clear that event leaders must guide their attendees from their heads (where doubts and questions live) to their hearts (where real decisions happen).
Nick also dives into the concept of becoming an “Exitpreneur”, building a business with an endgame in mind. He discusses why many entrepreneurs treat their businesses like ATMs, focusing on immediate cash flow instead of long-term financial leverage. He shares how event leaders can structure their businesses to generate recurring revenue, create lasting impact, and position themselves for a profitable exit. His philosophy is simple but powerful: “The more prophetic you become, the more profitable you will be.”
This episode is packed with high-level insights and actionable strategies for event leaders who want to increase revenue, create deeper audience impact, and build a long-term sustainable business. Whether you’re hosting live events, virtual events, or masterminds, Nick’s strategies will challenge you to think bigger, sell smarter, and lead with purpose.

In this week’s episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez welcomes Callan Rush, founder of Lucrative Luminary Training. With over 25 years of experience in the event industry, Callan has assisted thousands of workshop leaders transform their marketing and business strategies. Her book, Wealth Through Workshops, has been downloaded over 600,000 times, and her company has generated more than $50 million in revenue. Combining her academic background in psychology and education with practical expertise, Callan shares how event leaders can simplify their marketing efforts to create greater impact and consistent success.
Callan begins by addressing a common challenge faced by event leaders: most of them didn’t enter the industry to become marketers. Their true passion lies in delivering transformative events and serving their audiences. However, she emphasizes that having a basic understanding of marketing is essential for success. Whether event leaders manage their marketing personally or delegate it to others, foundational knowledge allows them to evaluate strategies, provide guidance, and ensure their marketing efforts align with their goals.
Throughout the episode, Callan dives into three key topics that are vital for event leaders. First, she simplifies marketing by categorizing strategies into three types: Linked, Lagging, and Leading Client Enrollment Strategies. Linked strategies, such as speaking engagements or discovery sessions, provide immediate results but often lead to inconsistent revenue. Lagging strategies, like social media posting and content creation, build long-term brand awareness but require patience and persistence. Callan’s favorite, Leading Client Enrollment Strategies, combines effort now with ongoing revenue, making it ideal for creating stability and scalability.
Next, Callan highlights the power of optimized webinars, a strategy that transformed her own business. She shares how this approach took her from burnout—running 52 events a year—to achieving $7 million in annual revenue. By creating, testing, automating, and optimizing a high-converting webinar, Callan built a system that provides consistent income while allowing her to focus on her passion for delivering value to her audience.
Finally, Callan offers an inspiring message to luminary leaders navigating challenging times. She encourages listeners to find mentors who teach in a way that resonates with them and reminds them that their work as educators and changemakers is more important than ever. Her advice is simple but powerful: “If you don’t understand something, it’s not your fault—it just means you need the right teacher.”

With over two decades of experience and a track record of producing over a thousand live events, Jason has honed a unique approach to making events not only successful but deeply impactful. Sunset Labs has become a top destination for those looking to engage global audiences through innovative virtual and hybrid models. Jason’s commitment to accessibility, engagement, and accountability in event production shines throughout the conversation, providing valuable insights for today’s event leaders.
A highlight of the episode is Jason’s introduction of the concept of "Value Leveling," a fresh approach to ticket pricing that addresses attendance and engagement challenges. Jason explains how attendees are encouraged to commit to an event by purchasing a ticket upfront, with the option to adjust the price post-event based on the value they feel they received. This strategy helps ensure that attendees feel invested, reducing no-shows and creating accountability on both sides. It’s a powerful way to balance access and commitment, offering insights for event leaders eager to increase participation and enhance audience satisfaction.
Another key topic covered is the importance of adapting engagement strategies to the audience’s specific needs. Jason highlights how different groups, from high school students to seniors, require tailored approaches to stay engaged. He emphasizes the role of learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinetic—in shaping the event experience, noting how crucial it is for event producers to cater content and delivery to these diverse preferences. By adopting these practices, event leaders can significantly increase audience retention, reduce distractions, and create a memorable experience that resonates with attendees long after the event concludes.
Jason also shares insights on his transition from running a physical venue to building a virtual and hybrid studio. Sunset Labs is now equipped with advanced technology, including multi-screen stages and remote production capabilities, making it possible to reach global audiences while providing a high-quality experience. With a deep focus on virtual production and an eye on emerging AI translation technologies, Jason envisions a future where events are accessible in multiple languages and cultures, enabling wider participation.

Welcome to The High Profit Event Show! In this week’s episode, Rudy Rodriguez sits down with Richard Miller, founder of Titan Event Technologies. Richard brings over 25 years of experience in supporting live and virtual events, having worked with major industry leaders, including Eben Pagan. With nearly a thousand seminars he has done and a thriving business, Richard is a seasoned expert in event management and audiovisual production. He shares valuable insights with event leaders on how to avoid common pitfalls and achieve seamless event execution.
In this episode, Richard shares three critical topics that every event leader needs to know. First, he emphasizes The Importance of Professional Event Planning. Richard shares stories from his own experiences about the costly mistakes that can arise when proper event planning isn’t in place. From failing to secure a 24-hour hold on event spaces to working with inexperienced planners, he illustrates how the right support team can make all the difference. Whether you’re hosting an event for 50 or 500 people, having a professional event planner is essential to avoid logistical headaches and ensure success.
Next, Richard dives into Audience Engagement Strategies, explaining how to keep attendees focused and energized throughout an event. He provides practical tips such as incorporating interactive exercises and intentional breaks to prevent participants from checking out. One unique strategy he shares is to have attendees turn to a neighbor and discuss what they’ve learned—a method that instantly re-engages the audience and keeps the energy high. Richard also stresses the importance of movement and physical activity, something often overlooked in event planning but key to maintaining audience attention.
Finally, Richard covers Effective Post-Event Follow-Up and Enrollment. He talks about the significance of a success panel in helping to bridge the gap between the event and ongoing client engagement. By providing social proof through testimonials, event leaders can increase enrollments into coaching programs or masterminds. He also touches on how many event leaders miss out on additional revenue because they lack a follow-up team to continue engaging attendees after the event. Richard provides insights into how this simple yet often overlooked strategy can lead to significant profit boosts.
Whether you're a seasoned event leader or just getting started, this episode is packed with actionable advice to elevate your event success. Be sure to tune in and learn from Richard’s decades of expertise!

The structured, step-by-step nature of this challenge is a great example for event leaders looking to create a journey that engages and converts attendees.
Lastly, we dive into the importance of seamless follow-up systems to maximize conversions. Krystalore reveals how she and her team stay engaged with participants beyond the challenge, ensuring that they feel supported and connected.
