Yes, yes, and yes, Thrive Nation on today's show. We're talking about how to build a successful trade show, how to dominate trade shows, how to make the most dough at the trade show, how to have a trade show that's worth your time and why I wanted to record

today's show is I have three clients right now that are doing trade shows today and all of them are

asking the similar questions and I thought you know what I should do is I should do a brief deep dive into trade shows and I'm joined here today with the co-host of the flyover Conservatives podcast. his name is David Wided

David welcome on to the Thrive Time Show how are you sir? I'm great it's great to be here

so Dave I gotta ask you have you ever been to a trade show where you were working the trade show?

No I've never worked on you've never worked the trade show where you were working the trade show? No, I've never worked.

You've never worked the trade show?

But I crossed over the age marker where they began to become appealing to me,

kind of like blue cheese or something you just wake up one day

and like, that smells like dirty socks, you know to I'd like to eat that you know like one day you just wake up and you're like I like to walk around and look at stuff and have people selling me things so you've never worked a booth I've never worked a booth are I've never worked a booth. Are you serious?

Yep. Okay that's the problem that my clients had to. So I'm going to put a lot of notes on

today's show of how to do it, but I'm going to kind of go through the basics

with you then on part two will really do a deep dive okay so normally

when you go to a trade show let's just establish it I can't believe you've been to

them though oh yeah okay there's only about a hundred vendors then so your your

wife I'm gonna get your wife on Mike 3 because we like your wife too, okay?

You're walking, you got the Cutco knife guy, got people selling garage doors in hot tubs.

So let's talk about the trade shows.

The maybe the last trade show that you went to, do you remember what the last trade show was that you or your wife went to?

The last one was geared more towards like summer stuff that boats and you know more patio things. Like an outdoor like a

Stacey was it a home and garden show? Yeah, it was so much fun. Okay, so these are just

rules. If you're taking notes, please do it. It's in the show notes as well.
