Episode Details

The Cadel Evans homecoming. The Queen's visit. Seven days notice to close St Kilda Road.

Eliza Vesey has spent over 20 years producing events that most people only ever read about. She now runs Moments Made, her own events business, and the conversation about what it takes to do that alone where the buck stops with you in a way it simply never does inside an agency or a club is refreshingly honest. Her real currency is relationships. Her real superpower is knowing exactly who to trust, paying for that trust, and building events around it. The feedback that landed hardest came from a close friend who told her she was trying to do too many things at once and not doing any of them properly. She used it.
