202 The Wedding You're Scared to Plan (with Laura Detwiler)
Q: What piece of advice would you give to listeners pursuing growth in their businesses?
Take risks and embrace discomfort, because big rewards come from stepping out of the comfort zone and seizing opportunities, even if they feel scary at first.
202 The Wedding You're Scared to Plan (with Laura Detwiler)
Q: How do you balance hands-on work with delegation to ensure quality as you scale?
Laura emphasizes training, hiring the right people, and creating a team culture that can deliver the same level of service when she is not present at every event.
202 The Wedding You're Scared to Plan (with Laura Detwiler)

202 The Wedding You're Scared to Plan (with Laura Detwiler)
Q: Can you give our audience a sense for your background and how you got to where you are today in the industry?
Laura describes nearly two decades in hospitality and events, progressing from hotel and catering roles to starting her own business in Florida, driven by a desire for personal touch and end-to-end involvement with clients.
#201 Signs Your Wedding Business has a Sales Problem (with Katie Lyth)
Q: If someone is three or four years into their wedding planning business but isn't turning the profit they want, where would you start in an hour of coaching?
Start by diagnosing where losses occur rather than immediately trying to 'fix' sales; identify whether the issue is marketing (inquiries), the quality of inquiries (proper targeting and messaging), or the sales process (conversion and follow-up). Then address pricing, delivery costs, and profit levers to increase margin and reduce burnout.
