You've probably never heard of Bari Baumgardner.

But in the 15 years leading up to the pandemic, Bari helped her clients earn $700 million from events.

...and in the 2 years that FOLLOWED the pandemic, she helped them earn $500 million in revenue.

That's right – Bari helped her clients earn $500 million in just two years using virtual events. She's worked with some of the biggest names in the business like Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, and Gabby Bernstein.

This is one of the most specific, tactical episodes we've ever made talking about how to throw the perfect 3-day event. Here are a few of the takeaways:

• Day 1: Content, connection, community. Make people feel like the goal is possible.
• Day 2: Pain, solution, invitation. Make people feel like the goal is possible for THEM.
• Day 3: Decision, commitment, celebration. Help people determine how and when they're going to reach the goal.

It's full of all kinds of other tidbits like:

• How to pay for an event venue after the event
• How to structure your live sessions (and avoid what Bari calls a "speaker buffet")
• The best locations and day of the week to host your events to save (did you know the day least in-demand for hotels is Sunday?)

It's honestly one of the most insight-dense episodes I've ever made. It made ME more excited about the prospect of putting on my own event – would you be interested in attending?
