Welcome to the Eventful Entrepreneur.

My name's Dodge. I've been an entrepreneur for over 30 years

and thrown thousands of parties across the UK

and I'm also the owner of the Bournemouth Sevens Festival.

Everyone who knows me knows I love people, having a laugh and asking lots of questions.

So I've been chatting to people with one thing in common.

They've all lived eventful lives.

Hello and welcome to another special episode of the Eventful Entrepreneur podcast.

Today, in the wake of the first Bournemouth Sevens Festival in over two years,

we're chatting about what it was like being back and the highs and lows of the event itself. I'm producer Dan and I'm here with the eventful entrepreneur himself, Mr Dodgewood or how are you Dodge?

I'm very good mate, I'm very good Dan.

How does it feel this side of the festival?

Oh it feels absolutely lovely right now is

i think i went through every emotion at the festival but the feeling i've got now is just relief

i think that's the biggest emotion i've got now is relief joy happiness i think i went through

every single emotion during that weekend as did as did the team here as well.

But as I'm sitting here right now, after a successful festival, lots of hurdles you jump over.

I'm really, really happy, yeah.

And Nackard, absolutely drained. This festival is taken the most out of me personally out of all the 14 festivals.

Yeah.

And I think that was due to the amount of pressure that was on.

And the unknown still, Dan, it was still the unknown.
