In this podcast episode, Rudy Rodriguez talks to Tiamo about his experience with events, both virtual and live. Tiamo has been doing events for more than ten years and has made millions of dollars from them. He says that it’s important to focus on making an impact on people’s lives instead of just trying to sell things. He believes that leading with love and authenticity is the best way to connect with people and create lasting change.
Tiamo recently hosted a virtual event for musicians, and he made sure to ask himself how he could make the greatest impact on attendees’ lives. He thinks it’s important to create an emotional experience for attendees because people are more likely to remember how they felt than the specific information they learned. Tiamo says that leading from a place of love and focusing on making a genuine impact is the key to success in the world of events and speaking.
He doesn’t set goals for his events because he thinks it can lead to disappointment and a diluted experience. Instead, he focuses on setting intentions and surrendering to the divine plan. He believes that the ultimate outcome is changing lives, and when he concentrates on that, sales tend to happen on their own. Tiamo encourages everyone to trust the process and let go of the need to control outcomes, which can lead to more successful events and a more fulfilling experience for all involved.
Tiamo also talks about the importance of talking about something that one truly loves during an event. He says that this enthusiasm will translate to the audience. He recommends finding the overlap between what you love, what you’re great at, and what people are willing to pay you for. Tiamo explains that leading an event requires surrendering to the power of the moment and focusing on the needs of the audience and community. To enhance this skill, he recommends reading “The Surrender Experiment” by Michael Singer.
He believes that finding your purpose is important, and he uses a Japanese concept called Ikigai to help participants assess where they are on a scale of alignment with their soul’s purpose. By the end of the event, participants revisit their Ikigai score and see their progress, which may inspire them to work with the speaker to attain their purpose faster. Tiamo believes that working with him can save participants at least ten years of trial and error. The event’s success is attributed to the speaker’s passion for their topic and their focus on purpose and value, rather than sales goals.
Tiamo’s next challenge is transitioning into a purely spiritual space with his seminars and writing a book titled “Joy First.” His ultimate goal is to help people live their highest purpose and experience joy, which he believes leads to better health and relationships. He encourages vulnerability in seminar leaders and hopes his message has a lasting impact on people’s lives.
In conclusion, Tiamo’s interview provides valuable insights into leading a profitable virtual event and staying true to your purpose. He recommends finding the overlap between your passions and what people are willing to pay for, surrendering to the power of the moment, and focusing on the audience’s needs. Through his work, Tiamo hopes to inspire others to live their highest purpose and experience joy in their lives.
