70: The Importance of strategic partnerships to elevate the underdog ft Frank Carlisi

On the show with me today I have Frank Carlisi, Co-Founder and Event Producer for the ExV Agency, where he continues to uplift and empower as many people as possible through his unique events strategies, creative thinking, and dedication to building lasting and authentic relationships with everyone he works with, as we’re demystifying ways in which organizations can better equip themselves with the information, tools, and resources needed for successfully engaging a broad range of partners, other organizations and individuals in their communities to achieve their goals.

During this brand new episode, we are going to:
– demystify the importance of community-focused initiatives and community partnerships in the events industry,
– how to elevate your event to create an unforgettable, elevated guest experience,
– what does it take to create unique events to bring people together or build your brand during the pandemic and beyond.

Three Fun facts about Frank:

  • runs an Event Production and Business Development Agency, however, he is a classically-trained chef,
  • he’s building out an unscripted television docu-series department for his agency, the content will be available on network television in 2022 and beyond,
  • he is the co-founder of a non-profit called WOMEN BUILDING WOMEN which focuses on creating career opportunities through mentorship for women from underserved communities around the USA.
