Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Spencer Humiston. (https://BowTiedLimeBoss).

I’m sitting down with Spencer, a former lawyer who escaped the grind in Alaska to build an 8-figure entrepreneurial empire centered on experiential businesses. We dive into the wild logistics of Night Lights, a sky lantern festival that pulls in over 100,000 attendees and can generate a staggering $2.5 million in a single weekend.

Spencer gets incredibly candid about why he views entrepreneurship as 99% problem solving, how he manages the legal liability of "flaming garbage," and why on-site parking is actually the "make or break" factor for any public event. We also explore his latest ventures in digital marketing, ticketing platforms, and why he believes the traditional music festival model is broken.
