How to Host Your First (or Next) Event and Actually Monetize It

In this episode of The Power Table Podcast, Taylor Smith breaks down how to host your first—or your next—event in a way that not only creates impact, but actually generates revenue. Drawing from her experience growing from a 0-attendee event to sold-out rooms of 150+ people, Taylor shares why events have been one of the biggest growth drivers in her business and why they are often one of the most overlooked strategies for building trust, momentum, and authority. This episode is a practical conversation about event strategy, monetization, and leadership. Taylor explains why events are not just “nice to have,” but one of the fastest ways to compress trust, deepen connection, and move people from passive followers to paying clients or community members. She also shares the mindset shifts that matter most if you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready” to host something of your own. Listeners will learn how to choose the right goal for an event, identify the audience gap that the event should solve, build in revenue from the beginning, and design a clear next step after the experience ends. Taylor also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how she plans and organizes her events using Adobe Acrobat and PDF Spaces to create streamlined systems for both production and attendee experience. Whether you want to host a workshop, retreat, conference, networking event, or conversion-focused experience, this episode will help you think more strategically about what events can do for your business and how to structure them for both transformation and profitability.In this episode, we cover:Why events are one of the fastest ways to build trust, connection, and momentumHow events position you as a leader, not just a participant in your industryThe three main event goals: nurture, conversion, and visibilityWhy your event should be built around your audience’s gap, not just your own ideasHow to start small while still building in meaningful revenueDifferent ways to monetize an event, including tickets, VIP experiences, sponsors, and post-event offersWhy brand partnerships should be incorporated earlier than most people thinkThe importance of designing a clear next step for attendees after the eventHow Taylor uses Adobe Acrobat and PDF Spaces to organize event planning, speaker documents, sponsorship materials, and attendee resourcesThe difference between hosting random events and building repeatable, scalable event experiencesMORE:Try Adobe Acrobat Studio free for 7 days: https://adobe.ly/TryAcrobat SAVE the date for our 2026 conference, The Power Table LIVE!

Embodied Leadership, Emotional Mastery & Turning Triggers Into Fuel with Fallon Jaye

What if the thing holding you back in your business… isn’t your strategy—but your nervous system?In this powerful episode of the Power Table Podcast, Taylor Smith sits down with Embodiment and Leadership Coach Fallon Jaye to explore what it really means to embody leadership in high-growth seasons of business.Because here’s the truth: you can have the perfect offer, the right messaging, and the clearest plan—but if your body doesn’t feel safe executing at that level, you’ll hesitate, second-guess, or self-sabotage.This conversation goes beyond surface-level mindset work and dives into the deeper layers of leadership—where emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, and self-trust become the foundation for sustainable success.✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:What “embodied leadership” actually means (and why it matters more than ever)How to turn emotional triggers into fuel for growth instead of letting them hold you backThe connection between anxiety and excitement—and how to reframe bothWhy self-trust is one of the most important leadership skills you can buildHow to navigate high-visibility moments without shutting down or spiralingPractical ways to regulate your nervous system in real timeThe power of vulnerability and emotional awareness in business and leadershipWhy saying “yes” before you feel fully ready can unlock your next levelLeadership isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you show up.When you learn how to regulate your emotions, trust your body, and move through discomfort instead of avoiding it, you unlock a level of clarity, confidence, and consistency that strategy alone can’t create.MORE:SAVE the date for our 2026 conference, The Power Table LIVE!
