After a long hiatus, the guys return for their final episode of 2022! Want to know why the pod went dark for so long? Then you've gotta listen, because they discuss that--and also how it was related to Eli's facial hair getting crazy for a little while. They discuss Eli's lessons learned from the return of the Twin Cities Marathon and any pandemic-related changes he may want to keep, and Tony getting on the mic at the November Project Summit and how events can--and need to--learn from how that organization fosters community. In this action-packed episode they talk about inflation's effects on event pricing, supply-chain challenges' effects on some events, Tony's brief return to his ops days and how he's different from Mark Zuckerberg, and Tony drops a knowledge bomb that sounds like a clickbait headline ("the absolute LAST place that you should cut budget is . . ."). The guys then round things out by checking in on their year-long over-under wagers, which will require a little more research to declare a winner. So stay tuned for that next time . . .
