In this episode, we’re doing one of our favorite things — revisiting our goals. We listen back to what we said we wanted to accomplish in 2025, react (honestly) to how it actually went, and share what surprised us along the way. From personal ins and outs to podcast and business goals, we reflect on what worked, what shifted, and what we’re carrying forward. We wrap up by setting new intentions for 2026 — including goals for ourselves, the podcast and what’s next for Better Events.

This week, we’re recapping the 2025 Better Events Conference — what worked, what surprised us, and the moments that stuck with us most. We reflect on attendee feedback, lessons learned, and how our goals for the conference showed up in real time.. We’re also joined by conference sponsor and friend of the pod Alycia Drube, who conducted a sustainability audit of our in-person day and shares thoughtful insights on what we did well and where we can continue to improve. A behind-the-scenes debrief on building better events, more intentionally.

As we kick off Season 6, we’re looking back at the lessons 2025 taught us — both as event professionals and as business owners. We go back and forth on what worked, what challenged us, and the things we had to learn the hard way. From collaboration and boundaries to decisions we’d approach differently next time, this episode is all about honest reflection as we get ready to start a new season of the podcast and our careers.
