Welcome to this episode of The How of Business.

This is Henry Lopez.

And my guest today is Melissa Foresiat.

Melissa, welcome to the show. Oh, thank you for having me, Henry. Lopez, and my guest today is Melissa Forsyat. Melissa, welcome to the show.

Thank you for having me, Henry.

Melissa is an entrepreneur, marketing consultant, and event planner, a former artistic gymnast,

and currently works with small business owners and nonprofits to develop impactful events

and strategic marketing plans.

Before starting Melissa Forsyat events and marketing, she held, she held rather, event planning

roles at the 2006 and 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and U.S. Olympic Committee, or at the U.S. Olympic Committee, rather.

Through her experiences with some of the biggest brands in the world, Melissa learned the principles of building a brand,

creating a marketing message, and reaching to right target markets.

Melissa recently published a series of popular guides that include small business marketing

on a budget, which I just recently read, a crash course and online marketing, and the marketing

funnel worksheet, and also defining your target market. These are all guides that focus on helping

small business owners achieve greater success with their marketing initiatives.

In her spare time, Melissa is a member of Board at Ventures.

Did I get that right?
