Business Moves at the Speed of Human Connection

I first want to just ask you, what is a global event guru? And did you go around the world telling people where to sit when you were a little girl? I

should have.

I technically started in events when I was 17.

So I guess kind of a little girl.

I'm a global event guru.

My whole team is as well.

We have been traveling the world since inception of EES Agency back in 2012.

I am actually on year 26 of being in a live event career.

A couple more countries and a few more grays.

But no, to kind of kick off a little bit what you were saying about what I was doing when I was younger is it's interesting.

I never knew that events was a thing.

You know, I'm an 80s baby.

And when I was a little girl, I thought I wanted to be a NASCAR driver.

No joke.

I raced go karts as a child.

And then when I got a little bit older, I was like, you know, I'm going to do something responsible and, you know, good for the greater good of mankind.

And I want to be a pediatrician.

I went to college, immediately got out of pre-med and went straight into marketing, communications, public relations and international business.

And I fell backwards into this career and I never looked back.

And it was, it's the most amazing thing I've ever done.

I'm 44 years old now, I think I could say that out loud.

And you know, people, I talk to new people all the time and they're just like, you have so much energy about what you do.

Just like the energy you have right now, JT.

It feels so good to know that I've been doing something for a quarter of a century and still love doing it every single day.

We are so, so lucky.
