I ran my first (Un)Conference. Here's what worked (and what I'll never do again)

Running my first Neurodiversity Affirming (Un)Conference was the biggest thing I've ever done, and this is the business half of my two-part episode about it: the pricing, the systems, the anxiety, and the decisions that were hard at the time but really paid off. "If you have a big idea, a big dream, a big scary thing (it doesn't have to be an event), maybe do a minimal version of it that allows you to prove to yourself that the big scary thing is worthwhile. Give it a go, because sometimes that big scary thing is just what you needed to do." In this episode I share: The decisions that went against my nature and paid off, especially how I priced and structured the tickets Setting out to break even, beating a stretch goal I never believed in, and the timeline that slipped The systems that ran the whole thing, and the disaster plans I almost never needed LINKS Exploring Neurodiversity Podcast, Episode 66: What I learned from the brilliant Neurodiversity Affirming (Un)Conference speakers - listen for what I learned from each speaker and the ideas I'm taking back into my Neurodiversity Affirming work Neurodiversity Affirming (Un)Conference - get the Day 1 recordings for 3 months, use POD20 for 20% off, or join the 2027 email list Neurodivergent Business Collective - for Neurodivergent business owners who want their business to fit their capacity and life.
