In this CEO edition of the Events Demystified Podcast, host interviews Debbie Garcia, CEO of Virsitour, about how the pandemic wiped out her commission-based planning income and pushed her to build the tool she needed for virtual sourcing. Debbie shares her winding path from media production in New York and Nashville into events, the lack of systems and “tribal knowledge” in planning, and how Virsitour centralizes visuals and sourcing for hotels, venues, services, and destinations so planners can make informed decisions before sending RFPs. She discusses bootstrapping the platform while running an agency, the costs of outdated processes in time, money, and missed life moments, and leadership lessons on resilience, boundaries, burnout, trusting experts, and building personal routines like meditation, calendar discipline, and focusing on top priorities.
Is manifestation biblical—or is it New Age? If you've ever wondered whether manifestation, visualization, mindset work, or subconscious rewiring are aligned with Christianity, this episode will give you clarity. Many Christian women feel tension around these topics. They've heard terms like manifestation, law of attraction, or mindset and aren't sure what's biblical and what isn't. Some have experience with New Age practices, while others are cautious and want to make sure they are fully aligned with God. In this episode, Renee Booe breaks down the truth behind manifestation and mindset from both a biblical and neuroscience perspective, helping you understand what's actually happening and how to approach these tools in a way that honors God. You'll learn: What manifestation really means in a New Age context Why "New Age is using Kingdom principles without the King" What the Bible says about renewing your mind and your thought life How focus, belief, and attention impact your actions and outcomes The neuroscience behind the reticular activating system and mental filtering How to align your thinking with God instead of trying to control outcomes This episode is for Christian women who want to grow, renew their mind, and step into their calling—without compromising their faith.

In this episode, Renee Booe shares a powerful perspective on discernment, decision-making, and hearing God's voice, while addressing the real reason many Christian women feel stuck when trying to follow God's will. You'll learn: Why overthinking keeps you from hearing God clearly The difference between purpose, calling, and assignments How fear and lack of self-trust can disguise themselves as "waiting on God" What Scripture says about being led by God step-by-step How to stop asking for constant confirmation and start moving forward in faith This episode will help you shift from confusion and hesitation to clarity and confident action—so you can move forward in what God is calling you to do.
Do you know what to do but still struggle to take action?

Do you constantly find yourself overthinking everything—especially when it comes to your calling, purpose, or the next step God is asking you to take? In this episode, Renee Booe breaks down why overthinking happens, what's actually going on in your brain, and why it's not a clarity problem—it's a safety and self-trust problem.

At the Northwest Event Show, podcast hosts Anca Platon Trifan (Events Demystified) and David T. Stevens (Return on Wellness) discuss AI, cognitive load, and performance in events with Wendy Turner-Williams (AI/data/tech executive with experience at Tableau, Salesforce, and Microsoft) and Lisa Schulteis (Electrify Marketing founder and neuroscience-based event strategist). They argue events are often designed for logistics and run-of-show rather than the brain, leading to fatigue, poor retention, and low post-event action. The panel recommends using data and real-time audience feedback to communicate impact to executives, treating events like marketing campaigns, and recognizing “invisible labor” in event work that AI can't replace. Practical fixes include intentional white space for decompression, memory-building resets (e.g., “Forgetting Curve” journaling), and a “less is more” approach. They warn that fast-moving tools like “digital doubles” and AI agents will accelerate change, requiring human judgment.00:00 Welcome and Setup01:23 Meet the Panel03:18 Why Cognitive Load Matters05:45 Design for the Brain07:02 Executive View and AI08:01 Fixing C Suite Blind Spots10:58 Agenda Fatigue and Focus12:24 Wellness and Retention16:00 Invisible Labor and Feedback18:31 Decompression and Data21:39 Judgment Over Speed23:26 Key Takeaways and Whats Next24:50 Digital Doubles Are Coming26:41 Connect and Closing-------------------------------------------------------------
Host Anca Platon Trifan interviews Joe DiDonato, President of ESource AI University, about the real weight of leadership and how AI changes decision-making, judgment, and responsibility. Joe shares his background growing education businesses at Oracle and PeopleSoft, then explains how prompt engineering, personas, and “entourage”/agentic workflows can extend individual and organizational capability while requiring verification and guardrails. They discuss digital twins and a planned panel demo using human and digital personas, plus ethical and governance pressures as AI accelerates. Joe argues AI will shift jobs rather than simply eliminate them, citing microlearning in L&D, logistics gains, and enterprise efficiency examples, while warning companies can't treat AI as a simple tool like Copilot. He describes a failed attempt to scale AI tutoring due to students seeking shortcuts, and recommends structured AI education via ESource and the AI Learning Alliance.
