We have some exciting things happening here at the Academy throughout 2018 and one of those things includes something I am doing personally. As the CEO of the Academy I love inspiring others and helping to develop and shape careers, so this year I am launching my personal brand where I help creative entrepreneurs to make a success of their business.
As part of that brand I am launching a brand new Podcast Show called The Creative Business Podcast Show and for my first guest I was lucky enough to chat to celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera.
David is a leading wedding and entertainment expert who is known for his artistic vision and unique creative talents. With celebrity clients such as Jennifer Lopez, Prince Charles, Elton John and Barbara Walters, and more, he has created an outstanding reputation for himself that has led to tremendous business success. He is an inspiration to all wedding professionals looking to make a success of their own business.
So, grab a cup of coffee and settle down for what I can promise you is an interview where nothing was off the table. David opens up about challenges and how he overcame them, successes, becoming a lifestyle brand, and much more besides. Click the image below to listen or use this link.
