What I Learned Hosting 50+ Live & Online Events as a Marketing Strategist


Listen Later

After hosting more than 50 live events — from intimate networking dinners to full-scale conferences — Michelle shares the real lessons that helped her turn events into both impact and income.

This episode is packed with practical takeaways for women entrepreneurs, coaches, and creators who want to use events, visibility, and community to grow their brands.

Michelle breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and how to shift from “event burnout” to strategic brand building.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why connection is the most powerful marketing strategy for women in business
  • How to use small events to build a big brand (even if you’re just starting)
  • The systems Michelle uses to plan, fill, and repurpose every live experience
  • How events became her secret weapon for building authority and new income streams
  • What she’d do differently if she were starting over today
