254 - Being Good at Events Is Only Half the Job (of Running an Event Business)

In this episode, Logan and guest co-host Ryan Criswell tackle one of the most honest conversations in the event industry: being great at producing and planning events doesn't automatically make you great at running an event business. They explore the gap between event skills and business skills — from the early moments that revealed what they didn't know, to the systems and habits that have helped them grow on the business side. If you're an event planner or event producer who feels more confident behind a run-of-show than a balance sheet, this episode is for you.SHOW NOTES:Purchase our on-demand How to Start an Event Planning Business Workshop: https://bettereventspod.com/workshopLearn More About Ryan:Website: ⁠www.cutestoryevents.com⁠Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/cutestoryevents⁠LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-c-048216263/kedin.com%2Fin%2Fryan-c-048216263%2F⁠Facebook: ⁠www.facebook.com/cutestoryeventsLogan's YouTube Video on What to Include on an Invoice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuac6BAwD7o&t=3sRegister interest for the 2026 Better Events Conference: https://forms.gle/caX87sth8DpgyZPi6Learn more about the pod, Better Events Conference and more: https://bettereventspod.com/the-latestWant our updated free run of show template?
