Why I Run Live Events (And It's Got Nothing to Do With Money)

This week I'm pausing the Jason interview. Part two is coming, and it's worth the wait. But right now, with Social Commerce Live in Manchester two days away, I needed to record this one.

This episode is the full story of how we got here. From the first Amazon seller event I ever walked into, where complete strangers came up to me and thanked me for changing their lives and I didn't know where to put myself, all the way through Brighton, Manchester, Leeds, and now this. Four events. Four completely different versions of me standing on that stage. Four completely different businesses behind me each time.

I talk about why I started doing these events in the first place, why I will never do them to make money, and why public speaking is the single best thing you can do for your business if you are brave enough to try it. I talk about the woman I saw crying after Brighton, the six figure deal that got done before the doors even opened, the biggest Amazon seller in the country turning up at one of my events and knowing exactly who I was, and what all of that taught me about visibility, community, and why hiding behind a screen is quietly killing your opportunities.

And I talk about what TikTok calling themselves a roadshow partner for this one actually means, and why I think this Manchester event is going to be the best one yet.

One conversation can change everything. I sat down with Chris Grimes in Leeds and here we are.
