Permission to Party, Price, & Pivot — with Nicole Matthews
What do envelope budgets, global sporting events, and Sex and the City have in common? They all show up in this week’s episode of Every Day’s a Train Wreck with event producer, speaker, author, and longtime friend of the show — Nicole Matthews! 🎉
Marley and Nicole go way back (think: back-of-the-room business breakthroughs and shared trauma bonding over ticket sales), and in this convo, they cover it ALL — from self-producing profitable events without a client (yep, she was her own client) to why pricing transparency still feels like a dirty little secret in the event industry.
They also dig into what Nicole’s doing now with first responders, global sports, and creating Olympic-style games with MAJOR heart. Plus: Golden Bachelor theories, the gift of a passport, and yes… why you might want to look into kidnap & ransom insurance. 😳
Inside the Episode:
— How Nicole went from Sex & the City watch parties to global sports production
— The “Recess” idea that didn’t fly with corporate, but should have
— Why you don’t need a client to create a revenue-generating event
— How community and camaraderie fuel the future of event planning
— The surprising growth of mental health support for first responders
— The $25M business lesson from a secret mastermind trip to Tuscany
And a shoutout to John Rose, the human version of a Marvel extraction team 💼✈️
Whether you're an event pro, an entrepreneur sick of undercharging, or just nosy (hi, same), this one’s packed with strategy, story, and sparkle. Don’t miss it.
