207: The Secret to Overcoming Adversity and Achieving Business Success with Carey Smolensky

In this episode, I’m talking with my good friend, Carey Smolensky – an entrepreneur, event producer, musician, author, and someone who truly lives life on his terms. Carey has spent over four decades building a boutique production company, and has worked with high-profile clients like Cutco and Tony Robbins Platinum Partners. What’s incredible about Carey is how he’s navigated challenges, both personal and professional, while continuing to thrive.

When COVID shut down his entire industry for 15 months, Carey pivoted, launching a new business that not only survived but flourished. He took that adversity and turned it into the best financial year his company had ever seen. In our conversation, Carey shares how he did it, and what lessons you can apply to your own life and business.

Carey also talks about the importance of family, building meaningful relationships, and living a life of passion and purpose. 

Whether it’s diving with bull sharks or producing global events, Carey’s zest for life will inspire you to live more fully and take action toward your own financial freedom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ How Carey pivoted his business during the pandemic and built a new income stream that led to his best financial year yet.

✅ The key to building long-term client relationships, and why Carey treats every client like a VIP.

✅ How Carey balances his high-energy work life with family time and why it’s important to “do life” with the right people.
