Welcome to a brand new podcast season, a season that is focused on a much-needed topic: Mental and Physical Fitness. Why? Because of how important this kind of fitness is for any event professional out there that is faced with challenges and needs to build resilience as well as the ability to think clearly and make decisions effectively and efficiently. Mental fitness, just like physical fitness is just as important and should not be neglected because it helps us prioritize and understand that just as we can improve our physical health by moving our bodies, we can improve our mental health by strengthening our minds. Taking steps to build our mental fitness enhances our ability to cope with stress and improves our physical health, productivity at work, relationships, and overall happiness. This Friday, Jan 13th, join me and my good friend, Jason Brown as kick off the season with this first episode during which we demystify our natural bodybuilding journeys in the competitive and many times unfair world of fitness, and how that has helped us professionally and why staying physically and mentally fit is important for #eventprofs and #meetingprofs. So, hang tight, strap on, and enjoy the ride! --------------------- Jason Brown - Owner and operator of vid live events, Las Vegas Realty specialist, owner and operator of Fitmeforme online personal training.

He also developed his own online streaming business, Vid-Live Events, a live-streaming video production company that specializes in Real Estate pre-recorded & live showings by using today's latest technology to improve customer care, marketing, and transitions for all of his clients. His latest endeavor, FitMeforMe - his online personal training business stems from his Love of All things fitness. He's been training for over three decades and over the years competed in many various physical activities from wrestling to jiu-jitsu, to Muay Thai kickboxing, and bodybuilding as of late, in a physique bodybuilding competition.

"Rehearsals are SO Important", "Generational gaps in tech crews can be so toxic at times", "Power struggles behind the scenes are real", "If you're working an event, be there because you care, not just to collect a paycheck"... In one of the - sadly - few last episodes of the current running season "Women Behind The Scenes in Events and Event Productions" I have the honor of talking to Michelle Michelson, Teleprompter Operator and owner of Prompster and discuss some really difficult topics to address but much needed.

She's been working in events and production for over ten years, starting out in NYC and moving west to Colorado to take on more travel event work and expand the company. Tune into this episode as we address: - the pros and cons of running a business remotely, - networking and building a community in a unique niche, - growing and expanding while taking on new roles within the events industry and pushing out of your comfort zones, - crew culture and what is like being one of the younger techs on the crew and a female on top of everything else, working on events with gen z / x and boomers, and what conflict resolution looks like, - innovative uses of prompter for events + production. ------------- Connect with Michelle on these channels: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook : @prompster Website: heyprompster.com -------------- “Events: demystified” Podcast is brought to you by Tree-Fan Events and your Podcast Host is Anca Trifan, CMP, DES.

It's with great honor that I have the pleasure to invite to join me as I kick-off a brand new season: SEASON FIVE - WOMEN BEHIND THE SCENES IN EVENTS AND EVENT PRODUCTIONS. This season has been on my mind for many moons and it's been a long time in the making. I am super stoked to introduce and interview some badass women in the next few episodes and have them share their journey in the area of expertise they're championing, the challenges they had to overcome and the passion that drives them to stay and keep pushing forward in a male-dominated field. Stay tuned for some spectacular humans joining me on the air in the upcoming weeks! ---------------- The kick-off follows with an ON AIR episode featuring MAGGIE HARKER - Senior Manager, Event Scheduling at Freeman Company, a live event professional with 20 years of experience as a technician, stage manager, producer, show caller, production manager, and labor manager for theater, conventions, corporate events, and touring shows. Maggie is entering her 21st year of producing and supporting live events and connecting with humans in impactful ways, which has brought a source of light to her life even in very dark times!

"You will never know your limits unless you push yourself to them". As the world of events started to open back up, many #eventprofs (including myself) have been packing their bags a whole lot this summer after an almost two year down-time, and so re-learning what staying healthy while on the road and long events days remains a big priority, especially amid COVID-19. Tune into this brand new rant as I am demystifying the complex dilemma of keeping healthy, eating healthy and sticking to a fitness routine during long show days and weeks that run one into each other. Throw a fitness bodybuilding competition into the mix, and let's see how can one handle it... PS: Do send my way your positive vibes, prayers, etc and wish me luck as I am deep in Prep this week, in the midst of Peak Week, and I will be traveling to the WA state for the Olympic Natural INBF competition that will take place on Sept 3rd. A lot of hard work went into the package I'll be presenting on stage. ————————— This podcast is brought to you by Tree-Fan Events, a woman-owned boutique event production agency - and your host is Anca Trifan. ————————— Schedule your 20 min free consultation with our virtual and hybrid event experts by following this link.
