EP150 | The First Behind the Scenes Experiences of My Summit

“Putting together a summit can feel like the world’s heaviest lift, but what if within that effort lies your biggest opportunity yet? In this episode, I’m sharing how asking for help and reaching out to big names could transform your event into an unmissable powerhouse—and why it’s all worth it.”

boy, do I have some exciting things to share with you today. If you caught wind of our latest buzz, we’re gearing up for a phenomenal summit called “Memberships: What’s Working Now,” and I can barely contain my excitement!

You know, summits have this unique way of captivating your heart and mind. And let me tell you, this upcoming summit has had quite the effect on me. Our mission is to bring a fresh perspective on what’s working in memberships right now. Imagine that – a week-long event packed with insights, starting from September 23rd. Mark your calendars!

Over the past two weeks, a lot has happened behind the scenes. I mean, literally, two weeks ago nobody even knew we were planning this summit. But oh, how things have changed! I don’t know about you, but I can’t help but get pumped up when I see so much enthusiasm and engagement from our community. Our open rates shot up, our social media posts got shared, and the buzz was incredible.

One of the most thrilling parts of this journey has been reaching out to potential speakers. Now, I’m not one to easily ask for help – maybe it’s the short-girl-problem of needing assistance to grab things from the top shelf! But this time, I put my fears aside and asked some pretty big names if they’d like to speak at our summit. To my delight, every single one of them said yes! Even those who seemed out of reach, like a certain celebrity and her famously talented family. I can’t reveal her identity just yet, but stay tuned – you’re going to love it!

This whole process has also opened doors for me in ways I never imagined. Invitations to collabs, opportunities to speak at other summits, and the chance to expand my network have all come pouring in. It’s astounding how much can change in a short period of time just by putting yourself out there.

Another thing that warms my heart is our partnership with charities. Our summit will support food banks and dog shelters, causes deeply rooted in my own experiences and passions. The response to this initiative has been overwhelmingly positive. One celebrity speaker even mentioned how touched she was by our chosen charities, especially those helping the elderly. It’s moments like these that remind me why we do what we do.

Oh, and about sponsorships – I initially wasn’t sure if we should go for it. But guess what? We sold three sponsor spots faster than I imagined, and it’s been a mutually beneficial endeavor. If you’re thinking about sponsoring, check out: whatsworkingsummitnow.com/sponsor.

Looking back, summits used to seem like a daunting task, but this experience has been nothing short of exhilarating. And I’m already dreaming up ideas for future summits. If you’re inspired to host your own, I highly recommend Summit in a Box. Their resources have been a game-changer for us – go to engagedgroups.com/sia for more details.

So, as we gear up for our September summit, I hope you’ll join us. Let’s raise funds for dog charities, connect over what’s working now in memberships, and make this an unforgettable event.

Thank you so much for tuning in, and I’ll catch you next week. Bye!
