This is another episode influenced by a conversation I saw on Facebook. Someone had posted a meme about people who’ve never attended a conference, implying that those people were elitist, know-it-alls, and they didn’t think there was any value in them going. What was interesting was how many who were commenting said they had never attended a conference. How can you say there’s no value, if you’ve never been?Listen to this new 9-minute episode for my perspective on this.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.comPlease be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference).
