Hi there folks!

Creatives Meet Business is an event and podcast series based out of Austin, Texas for artists, creatives, freelancers, and solopreneurs to learn the ropes of entrepreneurship.

This episode features (former) event planner Richelle Ouellette who joined us in June of 2018 during our roundtable event on Event Planning. She shares all about the nuts and bolts of events - everything from logistics to budgets to creative decision making. Without further ado, let's hop in and hear what Richelle has to say!

    • First step - prioritize goals / objectives of event
