On this week's episode of ‘The Events Podcast’ I spoke with Chris
Reynolds from The Business Method. I was lucky enough to be
interviewed on Chris’s podcast so it’s great to get him on ours.


We are both part of an entrepreneurs group called the ‘DC’ and
have met in person a few times but I didn’t know much about his
background so it was cool to dig in and talk about his background
and how it led to his events.


Chris ran charity projects in Costa Rica, Peru and Africa where
he got a taste for running live events. This led him to run ‘The
Entrepreneur House’, a productivity focused residential retreat
in multiple cities including Barcelona and Chiang Mai. Chris
started off running his events over two months which is a pretty
herculean feat!... but has now reduced it down to 10 days.


Chris travels full time with is girlfriend although he likes to
stay in one place for several months at a time and told me the
term ‘slowmad’ which I hadn’t heard before to describe this
lifestyle.


Chris is a Podcasting machine and he’s produced close to 400
podcast episodes that I can find! Podcasting is a major sales
funnel for his events but we discussed about how this is a long
term proposition and you need to really enjoy it. The second
major sales funnel is posting in forms and groups that Chris is a
part of. Chris shares his content widely on social media (Reddit,
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and this also helps with attendees
but no one platform worked especially well for him.


Along with the events Chris runs productivity coaching and the
podcast also helps him get new clients for this.


In terms of the logistics of the events Chris makes it a super
casual format with fixed sessions then free time in between and
the attendees often organise trips etc by themselves. Chris gets
involved to make sure everyone is having a good time and to keep
the group dynamic good, although with the kind of people he
attracts it’s always a friendly crowd.


I hope you enjoyed the podcast and if you did please leave us an
iTunes review it really means a lot to us !
