Preston Smiles has run over 100 events worldwide and has not had a single unprofitable year since 2013. He has never once needed cameras, pyrotechnics, or a viral marketing strategy to fill the room.Get a Free Gift: https://grow.astrozenmarketing.com/In this episode, Preston breaks down the exact method he and his wife use to transform any room, why most coaches and facilitators are not actually embodied in the work they teach, and what it really takes to build a facilitation career that sustains itself purely on results. He also opens up about the promise he made to God on the way up and why he has never come off it.KEY HIGHLIGHTS- The Head, Heart, Body Method — Most events fail because they only speak to the intellect. Preston adjusts the formula to what the room actually needs in real time.- Most Coaches Are Not Embodied — You can feel when someone is saying the right words but not living them. Embodiment means you do not need a script. You just live it.- Start Small, Not Scared — A yoga studio for two hours beats a $15,000 Marriott booking every time when you are just starting out.- Safety Is the Facilitator's Job — Ground rules, context, loving interruption, and reading the room. Safety starts before people even walk through the door.- The Promise He Made to God — Walmart bathroom or a stage in Australia, Preston committed to showing up in truth wherever he lands. He believes that is exactly what took him where he could not have gone alone.TIMESTAMPS3:22 — Courses vs. live experiences: what actually transforms people4:14 — Why most coaches people follow online are not embodied in their work10:31 — How to start running events without breaking the bank16:26 — How Preston's vision has evolved across 100 events worldwide21:26 — Why integration starts before the event even ends28:51 — Safety in the container: what most facilitators completely miss34:48 — How to facilitate men vs. women differently
