I remember the look in my boss’s eyes during a recent quarterly meeting—the glazed-over stare, the shifting in their seat, and the sudden glances at their phone. It struck me how, despite every effort to keep things engaging, the room was drowning in boredom. That moment was my lightbulb moment: Meetings are becoming increasingly exhausting,…
It was a chilly evening, and I was frantically trying to set up a photo booth for a client’s corporate event. Everything that could go wrong did.

It was a chilly spring evening when I realized I had overlooked a critical aspect of event planning—luxury restroom trailers.
