In this episode of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind, Ron Robey and Laura Robey sit down with Joyce Perhac, owner of Christmas Expo, and Michael Simmons, RGB expert and Christmas Expo committee member, to talk about the power of networking, education, and showing up for industry events.

With Christmas Expo coming to the Dallas / Fort Worth area in July, this conversation looks at how the event started, how it has grown, and why installers, vendors, decorators, and business owners should make time to attend events that help them grow.

You can learn a lot from YouTube, Facebook groups, and online training, but there is something different about being in the room. Events give you the chance to meet other contractors, ask better questions, see products in person, build relationships with vendors, and get around people who are serious about growing their business.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Christmas Expo began and how it became a major industry event
• Why in-person networking still matters
• The value of continuing education for Christmas light installers
• How events can help contractors find new ideas, products, and partnerships
• Why surrounding yourself with other business owners can change the way you think
• What installers can expect from Christmas Expo in the Dallas / Fort Worth area

Whether you are brand new to the Christmas light industry or have been installing for years, this episode is a reminder that growth often happens when you step away from the day-to-day work and get around people who are building, learning, and pushing the industry forward.
