Show Notes
The Bounce is recording live from Houston, Texasss and we’re joined by Gozie Coker, Chief Experience Designer at Coker Creative, for a warm and candid conversation about all things events, reinvention and navigating major life and career changes.
We get into the realities of being on tour, America’s almost excessive commitment to hospitality and, of course, parents finding any excuse to ask about marriage. Gozie also takes us through building Coker Creative, relocating, stepping away and eventually finding her way back to the business, while sharing what she’s learned from planning events across the world.
We also get into some very complicated dilemmas before closing out with what Gozie is excited about next and her advice for anyone looking to build a career in event planning. We hope you enjoy this episode, sponsored by our amazing friends at Busha and Kuda.
