She is sharing insights from her tradeshow explorations in 2024 so far. Are you looking to stand out at your next trade show by creating an engaging and memorable experience for your audience? Every successful interior product brand understands the power of effective brand storytelling, collaborating with artists and designers, and establishing signature events both within and outside the trade show.

In addition, by integrating diverse artistic perspectives, you can create a dynamic and immersive experience that sets your brand apart and ensures your presence is unforgettable. In this episode, we discuss the latest updates on Thrive In Design, what to expect in Season 6, and three strategies that successful interior product companies are implementing that every brand should adopt.

It requires a delicate balance of creativity, strategic planning, and understanding human psychology. W'll explore the insights shared in a thought-provoking conversation about the intricacies of crafting unforgettable moments. Standing Out in a World of Distractions In today's fast-paced world, attention is a scarce commodity, with countless stimuli vying for our focus.Standing out amidst this noise requires more than just grabbing attention; it demands creating meaningful connections that resonate emotionally and personally. Memories, unlike fleeting moments, endure because of their emotional and sensory depth, emphasizing the importance of personalization and authenticity over mere branding. Peak Experiences: Lessons from Disney Disney's strategic approach to creating peak moments illustrates the power of anticipation and immersion in enhancing experiences.Peak experiences, carefully crafted and strategically placed, have the potential to elevate an event from ordinary to extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. However, the failure to deliver on promised peak moments can lead to disappointment, underscoring the importance of managing expectations and consistency. Transformative Event Design: Overcoming Negative Forces Designing experiences goes beyond logistical planning; it involves understanding and mitigating negative forces that detract from engagement. Isolation, exhaustion, and distraction pose significant challenges to fostering meaningful connections and participation. By prioritizing engagement, personalization, and multisensory stimulation, event planners can create environments conducive to memory-making.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Author & Director of Experience of Social Media Examiner, Phil Mershon.Phil Mershon emphasizes the need to go beyond just providing good content or service. He believes the key to success is delivering a great overall experience. This can be achieved by adding surprise and delight, personalization, and going above and beyond to turn negative experiences into positive ones.For instance, consider the example of Disney. They've implemented creative solutions, such as fast passes and interactive experiences within lines, to enhance the overall experience for visitors. Phil also delves into the power of creating memorable experiences in events. He acknowledges that while there may be unavoidable negative aspects in any event, such as long lines or uncomfortable weather, the key is to focus on creating strong and powerful moments that overshadow the negatives.By doing so, people will remember the highlights, like meeting characters or watching fireworks, and forget about the less enjoyable parts. This strategy, referred to as "stacking," emphasizes positive moments to make the negative ones seem less consequential.Key Points from the Episode:Importance of creating memorable experiences in various settingsElements of surprise and delight, personalization, and going above and beyondIdentifying and addressing potential friction pointsExamples of Disney's creative solutions to enhance experiencesPower of creating memorable experiences in eventsStrategy of "stacking" positive moments to overshadow negativesIntroduction of the concept of "DRiED" challenges for event plannersRecommendation of the book "Unforgettable" for event planningApplicability of the book to various contextsAbout Phil Mershon:Phil Mershon is a creative innovator who combines existing products and ideas to craft unforgettable experiences.

This week I was really excited to speak with my friend and former colleague Phil Mershon about his new book, Unforgettable: The Art and Science of Creating Memorable Experiences. Phil is the director of experience for Social Media Examiner where for over 12 years he has created amazing customer experiences at events like Social Media Marketing World and the Social Media Success Summit. Phil and I worked together at Social Media Examiner and throughout his 30+ year career he has been creating memorable experiences for businesses like non-profits, schools, and churches.  In this new book Phil has compiled the knowledge that he has accumulated throughout his career into an amazing guide for both event creators as well as conference or event attendees. I'm sure you're aware of the adage, “This meeting could have been an email.” Well in many ways if you're anything like me you have been to conferences or events that feel like they should have been a meeting. Phil's book looks to correct this trend by laying out the principles and best practices for building unforgettable events with truly useful takeaways. In this conversation Phil lays out some of his tried and true techniques for creating events both in person and online that generate team building while encouraging the interplay between in-person and online interactions. Phil also points out how events can minimize distractions and create an environment conducive to both focus and engagement. In many ways Phil sees himself as a kind of “game designer” responsible for creating experiences that are both engaging while simultaneously being rewarding and fun. Listeners will gain valuable insights into maximizing the impact of in-person events, improving engagement and productivity, and developing a deep understanding of attendees' needs while also improving their own attendee IQ to get the most out of their next work event or conference. ______________________________________________________________ Connect with Phil: Website  Book Linkedin  Twitter  Facebook  Instagram Connect with Erik: Facebook  LinkedIn  Twitter  Instagram  Make sure to check out our sponsors here to help support the show!

For anyone that grew up in a household where the word love was seldom said or shown, it can be the only thing that we remember about our relationship with our parents. Today's guest can certainly speak to that. Brian Ondrako is a father, author, sales consultant and the host of the Just Get Started podcast. In his newest kids' book, The Magically Magnificent Mysterious Mind, he reminds us that the happier we are, the happier it will make others around us feel. As a single Dad, Brian is intentional about the time he spends with his son. He talks about how his grandparents had the biggest impact on him as a child, and now that he's a father, he wants to be that person for him. In our conversation, we talk about how kids are happiest when they're loved and supported, how he's handling his son's YouTuber aspirations, and the four pillars that Brian says can make or break any relationship.

Happy National Coffee Day (if you are listening to this episode when it drops on Wednesday, September 29th).  I would gladly celebrate coffee any day of the year. I am currently enjoying a Hawaiian Coffee and am a bit hooked after our 3 weeks on the islands in summer of 2021.  Personally, I think the world could use a little more conversations over coffee with friends these days.  I chuckle a bit because that was the imagery I used when designing the intent of this show.  Like meeting friends over coffee and talking about family adventures.   Worth noting, I have found that I really enjoy podcasting and having conversation without all the ads and interruptions many podcasters use.  If you enjoy the ideas, find joy or inspiration from my work, you can buy me a coffee to say thanks and support the show.  If you want to go deeper with the content and/or get more engaged you can find additional ways to support the show through the links below.   Website for this episode: https://ordinarysherpa.com/045 Will you leave Written Review on Apple Podcasts:  https://ordinarysherpa.com/review/ Subscribe to the email List:  https://ordinarysherpa.com/subscribe/ Join the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook Group to interact with other listeners.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ordinarysherpa The theme for today's episode is learning how to swim, not just in the physical sense but also in swimming through life.  Swimming seems like a good metaphor what people are experiencing.  Swimming through information, drowning with decisions.  In some ways we got dumped in the deep end of the pool and we're still figuring out how to swim.  But we all know Michael Phelps as the 23 time Olympic gold medal swimmer.  We will learn about the crazy adventure and the focus of his foundation which places an emphasis on learning how to swim.  I met Marissa several years ago, when Michael was the guest for the US Venture Open which was discussed in Episode 033 | Creating Memorable Experiences with Dawn Ruchala.  I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Marissa and Michael and to say that I was impressed with their authentic generosity and humility is an understatement.  I have been around several people of fame and fortune in my life.  While each experience is a neat experience, I was never enamored by the encounter.  More often than not, I left the experience with a different taste in my mouth.  However, spending the day with this dynamic duo led to a much deeper connection beyond simple work acquaintances.   MARISSA FORTIER is the Managing Director at the Michael Phelps Foundation and has been working alongside Michael Phelps since 2003. She has been with the Foundation since it was founded in 2008 and helped develop the Foundation's signature IM Program curriculum in 2009, and piloted the program in 2010. The Michael Phelps Foundation has 3 pillars focused on water safety, healthy living, and pursuit of dreams.  Marissa lives in Maine with her husband, two daughters and dog.   Key Takeaways Go broke once in your life.  Having the perspective of humble means you learn to appreciate the opportunities in front of you. Never Say No to a new opportunity.  You can always go back.  You can always change your mind, but self selecting out of an opportunity, that opportunity won't likely come back. Epic adventure life is unsustainable.  At some point we all have to come down from the summit.   Slowing down allowed Marissa the ability to approach adventures more thoughtfully and make the adventures more meaningful overall. 2020 freed up space in her life to go through the stuff both physically and mentally.  It has allowed her to sit back and reflect They currently are waking up from the slumber and finding little sparks of adventure.  Perhaps you are waking up from a slumber.  What are the little sparks, mini adventures that light you up? We can only plan so much.  At some point, we need to let our kids lead the adventures.   Drowning is the #1 Cause of preventable death for children under the age of 4.  Swimming is a lifelong sport that has implications on overall health, well-being and safety.   Water has magical qualities and can heal in many ways.   MPFoundation offers 8 free lessons to address social and emotional strategies.  Head to their website www.michaelphelpsfoundation.org to download these resources.     To connect or follow Marissa Website: www.michaelphelpsfoundation.org Social Media: @mpfoundation /MichaelPhelpsFoundation

What are some of your most memorable experiences?    I believe that life is so much more than money and material possessions and that life is all about creating memorable experiences.    Memorable is defined as “worth remembering” because it's special or remarkable in a positive way. How we impact people, where we travel, why we chase purpose and who we surround ourselves with will ultimately determine how we allow positivity into our environment and live our lives to the fullest.     At the end of our lives, I don't believe we'll wish we worked more or even kept a cleaner home. I believe we'll wish we explored more of the world and created more memories with the people that we love.    Today's guest is Nick Khanna, Hilton Vice President & Global Head of Co-Brand Credit Cards. In this episode, Nick and I dive into the perks of credit cards, programs and rewards, and how we can all maximize our travel to create memorable experiences.    Key discussion points from this episode include: What's On Your Bucketlist - 5:52 Having A Scarcity Mindset - 8:26 Build A Solid Foundation - 12:22 Global Offerings & Grand Experiences- 15:00 Maximize Travel For The Holidays - 19:18   This episode is brought to you by Hilton.

Website for this episode: https://ordinarysherpa.com/033 Join the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook Group to interact with other listeners.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ordinarysherpa Will you leave Written Review on Apple Podcasts:  https://ordinarysherpa.com/review/ Subscribe to the email List:  https://ordinarysherpa.com/subscribe/ Every once in a while you come across someone who enamors you just a bit.  They have skills and experiences so different from your own and yet there is a mutual respect and admiration for what the other person does.  I first began interacting with Dawn just over 5 years ago through our work paths.  Dawn has 20 years of experience in corporate marketing and events, and currently manages the U.S. Venture Open, a golf outing in Northeast WIsconsin that hosts over 1200 people, and attracts celebrities like DuWayne Wade, Michael Phelps, Matthew McConaughey, and this year Charlize Theron.  The event raised over $4.5 million dollars last year to address the root causes of poverty in our region.  Dawn is the master of recognizing the details that make an experience memorable.  Beyond work she is a spontaneous adventurer who loves to see how things go and invests in the experience she is most interested in.  On a personal note, Dawn is an OG to Ordinary Sherpa.  She literally listens to every.single.episode the morning they drop.  I am so grateful to have Dawn in my tribe of listeners, colleagues, and friends.   Key Takeaways Creating a memorable experience is often in the details.  Imagining every aspect from an attendee perspective.   Your sense of smell is a critical piece to creating a memorable experience.  Walk through all of the 5 senses: touch, taste, see, hear and smell and design aspects of the event from those desired elements.   Recognizing your genius zone at work and in your personal life are important.  Because Dawn is so involved in planning details at work, in her personal life she is much more comfortable showing up and seeing what opportunities present themselves.   Creating experiences can also be a solo adventure.  When Dawn was in Anaheim she went to Disneyland alone. She asked strangers to take her picture and optimized her time using the singles line for rides as a solo adventurer.    FOMO can be motivation.  The fear of missing out can be a helpful indicator in designing your list of desired experiences.   Buy the tickets without knowing all the details.  When a legendary band is coming within driving distance she has learned to buy the tickets and figure out who will attend with her later.   When people recognize you are a person that says yes, they are willing to share opportunities that you may not have access to otherwise.  Notice, what do you say yes to?  Is that what you want people to invite you to do more of?   Be open to the opportunity when it presents itself.  Some of the events she attended weren't from a deep desire to attend, rather a place of curiosity.  Seeing and hearing about an event is one thing, but it's a completely different experience to be there.   A healthy indicator is a sense of discomfort and slight fear.   Having an experience completely different from your life can offer a perspective that leaves a lasting memory.  Ideally sharing the experience offers a deeper connection as opposed to one person attending and telling others about the learning and perspective.     Websites references during the episode:  https://www.usventureopen.com/  https://vicodec.org/  To Follow or Connect with Dawn Facebook: @dawn.ruchala.1 she is also an active member of the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook Group Instagram: @druchala LinkedIn: @dawnruchala

In the second half of our conversation with Tim Woodring, Sean flips the script and leads the interview as Tim breaks down the different phases or "waves" of his business in navigating the world of virtual events. He also delves into the different types of events that companies can choose to implement in the future, from in-person to virtual to hybrid.
