S2 Ep 40The Second Act Vol 4: Lessons From A Mid-Sized Entertainment Company Pt. 2

The “Second Act” series is based on the fact that, in my mind, everything we did “pre-covid” was the First Act. The Second Act is what we’re in right now as states start to re-open and we get back to events. What I’ve come to realize as we’ve been going through this pandemic is that there are a lot of great stories out there – things of hope, things that are super raw for folks, and even stories of great loss. I wanted to get these stories out there because I think we can learn a little something from others that are going through it, just like we are. In this episode, I interview Ross B with Rock With U Entertainment. This dude is a ball of positivity and he gives some awesome nuggets about how's he built his business to gross $5 million a year and what he's done to assure his company makes it through this pandemic.

In this episode, I wanted to start with a few people who are a part of “The BBC Collective” – a crowd-sourced learning environment of creative businesses with the mantra of becoming better creative businesses. We have 3 mini interviews with Sean Low, who runs the group, Maria Maxit who owns/operates Maxit Flower Design out of Houston, and Andrea Eppolito, a wedding planner extraordinaire out of Las Vegas.
