I’m fresh off my recent trip from Los Angeles, and I’m answering a couple of quick questions that have been popping up in my Instagram DMs all week! If you’ve been following on Instagram, you’ll have seen some of the behind-the-scenes happenings at the LA Experience 2022 and Mastermind trips, and I’m giving you the lowdown on how to make the most of your trip to LA.
Take a listen as I share everything from how to go direct to your vendors and build relationships with them to what to avoid when it comes to accommodations. I also give you the details on how YOU can join us in LA next year and get in on what is arguably the highlight of every year!
