Hello and welcome to Let's Talk About It with Taylor Nolan. I am your host and today is

a super, super, super special episode. I have done one live podcast before and that was

at Fireside, the conference that was this past September and interviewed Michael and he

was amazing. But that was kind of, you know, just at a conference, just doing a live podcast

that was already kind of set up there. And this past Saturday, April 13th, I hosted

my very first all by myself live podcast event and felt so many feelings. I have to say,

leading up to hosting the event, you know, there's all kinds of voices that come into your

head. And I definitely struggled with confidence on putting this on, struggled with, you know,

with the support of my entire community that like really, really stepped up to help me put

on this event. So before we get into the event itself, just want to give some thank yous

to people who helped out with the event. So the event was actually hosted at the Cloud Room

in Seattle, which is located in Capitol Hill in Chop House Row. And I had never been in there

prior to looking at them as an event space. And I was like, dang, this is quite a hidden gem

of Seattle. The co-working space itself is so cozy and so cute and just so inviting. It is

women ran and women owned. And just everyone there like Dee Dee was amazing. The woman that

helped me with the event planning. And so I was honestly after talking with everyone afterwards.

It was like, it definitely would not have been the same event if it wasn't hosted there.

It was really the perfect space for this kind of intimate emotional event. And so, so, so happy

that we had it there at the Cloud Room. But then also we had a bunch of vendors that participated

in the VIP Goodybags. And so there was a separate VIP area after the recording and after the Q&A.

And we had tacos made by my favorite vendor, Brothers and Co, who I always post at the Sunday
