Welcome to our latest episode of The High Profit Event Show! I'm your host, Rudy Rodriguez, and we are excited to have with us, George Bryant. George is not just any entrepreneur; he’s a former U.S. Marine with 13 years of service, a New York Times bestselling author, and a business growth expert who has helped two businesses reach the billion-dollar mark. Beyond these accomplishments, George is also dedicated to being the best father he can be every single day.
In this episode, we dive into George's experience in running events. For over a decade, George has been organizing a wide range of events, from free gatherings to high-ticket events costing up to $10,000 per ticket. We explore his journey from humble beginnings in a small Marriott conference room to hosting intimate, high-impact events at Airbnbs. George emphasizes the importance of intimacy and depth in his events, choosing quality over quantity to create meaningful experiences.
One of the themes of our discussion is the iterative process in event planning. George shares how important it is to iterate, learn, and improve with each event. He shares how some events started with just a few attendees but grew through word-of-mouth and continuous improvement. This process-driven approach, rather than focusing solely on outcomes, has been key to his success.

We also discuss the topic of event promotion. George provides insights into starting the event experience from the very first touchpoint with potential attendees. By giving value upfront, preparing attendees thoroughly, and creating tangible evidence of what they will gain, George ensures his events are not just sold but are anticipated. He mentions the importance of books like "Contagious" and "The Catalyst" by Jonah Berger, which have influenced his approach to creating a buzz and facilitating breakthroughs for attendees.

George dives into the customer journey, explaining how every interaction before, during, and after the event is important. He believes in starting to deliver value and creating a transformative experience long before attendees arrive. This preconditioning helps in reducing barriers and enhancing engagement once the event begins.

When it comes to engagement during the event, George shares his strategy of providing space and breaks to allow for integration and processing of information. He outlines his five-step communication process—acknowledge, prepare, project, pre-handle, and excite—to keep attendees informed and engaged. George also shares the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where attendees feel valued and not pressured.

In the final part of our conversation, George discusses his approach to post-event engagement and enrollment. Rather than using high-pressure sales tactics, he focuses on serving and providing immense value. By ensuring attendees experience significant transformations during the event, he naturally creates a desire for further engagement. George's philosophy is about earning the right to ask for the sale by delivering results first.

This episode is packed with actionable insights from one of the experts in customer experience and event management. Whether you're an event leader looking to enhance your skills or an entrepreneur aiming to create impactful experiences, George Bryant’s wisdom is invaluable. Tune in to learn more about creating high-profit events that leave a lasting impact.

In this episode, join Rudy Rodriguez as he shares his experiences and lessons learned from a trek to Everest Base Camp. Journeying to an altitude of 17,598 feet (5,364 meters), Rudy dives into the physical and mental challenges faced, as well as the insights gained along the way.
Rudy shared the importance of teamwork and acknowledges that the trek to Everest Base Camp was a collective effort that couldn't have been accomplished alone. The roles of the guide, CB, and the porters were instrumental, highlighting the necessity of experienced leaders and mentors in achieving challenging goals. Maintaining a consistent pace was crucial for the group's successful ascent. Rudy discusses the principle of essentialism, emphasizing the 80-20 rule—focusing on the essential 20% of items or activities that yield the most significant results. This approach proved more effective than carrying unnecessary burdens.
The trek provided a practical lesson in economics, particularly the concept of supply and demand. As the group ascended, the cost of essentials like water increased significantly, underscoring the impact of supply chain challenges in remote locations. Rudy learned the importance of focusing on the next step rather than getting overwhelmed by the overall goal. This mindset helped him stay grounded and made the journey more manageable.
The trek fostered a deeper sense of gratitude and perspective. Rudy realized the relative insignificance of his problems compared to those faced by people in third-world countries. The journey made him appreciate small comforts and recognize the privilege of having access to resources that many others do not. Throughout the trek, Rudy and his friends proactively created fun and value by sharing experiences and discussing various aspects of life. This approach added meaning and enjoyment to the journey.

Simple comforts like a warm meal or a hot shower became precious. This experience reinforced the idea that true happiness often comes from appreciating the small, simple things in life. Witnessing the hardships faced by locals in Nepal gave Rudy a new perspective on what constitutes real problems. This realization helped him understand the difference between significant challenges and first-world inconveniences.

Rest and recovery were crucial during the trek. Rudy highlights the importance of taking breaks and recharging to ensure long-term success and well-being. He embraced the discipline of carrying only what was necessary, learning that extra weight without utility becomes a burden. This takeaway applies to both physical items and life activities. Inspired by Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," Rudy emphasizes the importance of rest and recovery to maintain peak performance and avoid burnout.
