In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of diving deep with Bree Carroll, an event strategist and founder of B Carroll Events. Bree shares her journey from being a military wife and mom to becoming a leading figure in the event planning industry.
In our conversation, Bree opens up about her initial career in civil engineering and how her skills as a problem solver and project manager seamlessly transitioned into her passion for event planning. She emphasized the importance of creating events that go beyond aesthetics to deliver real impact and transformation, coining her approach as creating "EPIC" (Experiences with Purpose, Impact, and Community) events.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes of event planning, the transition from traditional employment to entrepreneurship, and the strategies for building impactful community-driven events.
