How Megan Gillikin Built and Sold Her Business: LIVE from The University Club in Durham

"I used to call my business my baby - it was my first baby before my actual babies. And I've really scratched that from the way that I describe my business because I think it's a toxic view. That means I can't leave it."

LIVE from the University Club in Durham NC, wedding industry icon Megan Gillikin joins us to share her journey of building her wedding planning business, selling it, and pivoting to coaching and consulting.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Megan bought A Southern Soiree - and how it wasn't the experience she thought it would be
• How burnout affected her mindset, and how she grew from that
• How podcasting has opened doors for coaching, consulting, and mentoring wedding professionals
• How she found her passion for b2b with The Planner's Vault

Upcoming Live Recordings
