I don't know there's a limitation to online conversations, which obviously you can't be in person every single conversation. But I learned firsthand how real and deep a conversation can go when you're in person. So that made me like, Hmm, I really want to do more in person, conversations and interviews, especially with Bree, but so that's the first thing is we were able to create a live like a podcast recording there, but then also we recorded a panel style interview on day One with Lali Danielle and Bree so you will hear that episode next week on this podcast. And so this idea came when I, I was thinking about, like, okay, how can I incorporate other pieces of my brand? So how can I get clocking in relevant and around for my check retreat, because my podcast is about what my retreat is about. And so I decided, let's just do a live podcast recording. And then in addition to that, I was like, you know, what would be really helpful is I'm this will be my first time actually recording live and in person. I want to teach people how to do this so that they can go home and they can do this themselves too, without having to, like, rely on me to set it up for them, they can learn this exact approach. So we did a workshop prior to the panel, taught everyone how to actually set this up where to record all the things, and then we turned around and did the recording the live podcast interview. So everyone got to experience a live interview, but it was also a panel, so it was educational to them, but also content we could put out on the podcast later. So that was the second piece of content creation that we did. And then the third piece of content creation that I actually haven't used any of it yet, but it's coming. It'll be it'll be coming, is I had Megan, who our podcast editor on the team. She was doing technical audits for all of our attendees. And what we ended up doing was I had her ask each person to share one piece of advice that they would give to podcasters that were going to repurpose into a podcast episode as like a round table style, like collaboration. And then I also had them share a takeaway from the retreat that I can use long term in marketing here on the podcast and other areas as well. So those are just like a couple of ways that we were able to create content at a live event that I didn't realize how much content was going to come out of this event. So just a third takeaway of like, wow, there's a lot of opportunity for content creation, even if you're not at even if you're not hosting the retreat or whatever yourself and you're attending, there are so many opportunities for it. Now, three things that I'll do different. This is the, I think this is the thing that I like to hear the most from people when they do things and they're like, Okay, here are the bad. Here's all the bad. Number one, I had a very intentional approach to how I structured this thing, and I wasn't upset with how it turned out, but I know what I want to do next time. So day one was supposed to be all education, and then I baked in about 40 minutes after each event, like speaker or whatever, for implementation time for people to, like, go and work on the thing that they just learned. And yes, I do still love that concept, but here's what I realized. Well, let me actually tell you, day two was not necessarily the exact same thing, but we did a talk, a workshop, and then. The entire from 11am until people started leaving because the event was over, it was implementation time, and you could do what you wanted. What I would do differently is, instead of structuring it the way I did, I would do morning education, afternoon implementation for both days, because I found myself Megan, a lot of our attendees, we were exhausted after day one, like it was a lot. There was a lot of setup, there was a lot of education, a lot of learning, a lot of just draining of your brain. That happens when you're learning a lot. And I kind of wish that instead of, like, wrapping up at 3pm and then going and taking photos that we would have wrapped up after lunch, like had lunch wrapped up, gone and implemented things, did our photo shoot, but then had time to just connect together. I didn't get that, and I think that was because there was a lot of setup, which is another thing that I'll move into. But next time, I will probably do half day education, half day implementation slash Hangout, because a lot of people are coming here to connect, to create that community. Because one of my favorite parts of the event was the connection I got to have just chilling in the pool, hanging out with everyone after the event kind of wrapped. And I wish we had that on the first day, because so many people had to leave in the afternoon on day two, then not everyone got to stick around for that. So that would be like one of the biggest things I would change is just the structure of it. Number two is logistics of how I hosted. If you decide the reason I hosted in a hotel was I wanted everyone to have a place that they could retreat to. And I do not regret that I still love hosting in a hotel. I also think I would be open to an Airbnb. Or something that allowed everyone to have, like common space. But logistically, what I ended up doing was I rented a conference room for day one and then a suite for day two. So how I did this was to save money. I did not rent the suite for my first night there. I rented a regular room, or rented I booked a regular room, which meant I had to take all of our snacks, the setup, the swag, the backdrops, everything had to go to my first room, and then I had to move it all the next morning down to the conference room, because I was checking out of that hotel room, move it there, then I had to move it all to another the suite. And so in the end, we ended up moving everything, like four or five times, and it was exhausting. It was not logistically smart of me to do what I would do differently is, instead of running a conference room, I would probably, and I wouldn't have known this until, like, going through the experience, I would probably rent or book just the suite for the whole time, and everyone gets to experience the suite for all three days. It would have cost me about the same amount of money. So, yeah, I think I think I would just logistically think through that. The other piece of the logistics side of it that I want to highlight is we did a room block so that our attendees could get a discount on the hotel rooms. And when I originally planned it, I had planned for 15 people. So I was really, really close to having to pay a fee for not booking enough rooms. I ended up booking enough. But that's just something that no one really talks about or thinks about when there are room blocks around. And so I wanted to highlight that. Like, if you are planning an event, or you're attending an event and you're like, I don't want to stay at the host Hotel. If there's a room block with a discount and you don't book there, they likely have to pay a fee if they don't hit the number of rooms, they said, so not a huge deal. I didn't end up having to pay anything, but I just wanted to throw that out there. Of like, you don't have to do a room block. I did because I wanted a discount for our attendees, but, yeah, just a consideration of logistics, and I would probably still do it again. I don't know. I think it depends on on the price and the discount off option. And I also didn't know that when you go into that, you can negotiate more. So considering something to consider now. The third thing that I would do differently is how I pitch sponsors. So I started pitching about eight weeks before the event, and I wish I had started about 12 or 16 weeks earlier. And. Earlier, but 12 or 16 weeks before the event may be even sooner than that, because I, when I was pitching, what I found is that a lot of brands have very specific budgets, and they spend it basically before the budget rolls around. So they have to get approval of like, we need this much budget for this thing, and if that you know, budget timeline has passed for them. They can't ask for more money for that time frame.
