Ep. 151 - Crafting Community: Building Authenticity Through Live Events with Cathy Olson

Today I had the extreme pleasure of chatting with my good friend, Cathy Olson, of Funnel Gorgeous. Join me as we follow her journey from a design business start-up to co-founding a multi-million dollar company.

Cathy shares the details of the recent Funnel Gorgeous Retreat, a small, intimate event that focuses on deep connections and valuable content. We also touch on the logistics and challenges of organizing events, including shipping swag and managing attendee expectations. Cathy emphasizes the importance of adapting to unexpected changes and finding creative solutions.
