Jocelyn:  Hey y'all!  On today's podcast we help you plan and execute a successful live event, with live event coordinator, Amber Bowling. Shane:  Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work.  We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams.  We're real family who figured out how to make our entire living online and now, we help other families do the same.  Are you ready to flip your life?  Alright, let's get started. What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast.  It is great to be back with you again this week. We've got a little bit different kind of show for you than our normal podcast.  Normally, we bring on a member of our Flip Your Life Community and we help them with some of the questions they have about online business and give them a live consulting call on the air. But we've been getting a lot of feedback and questions lately about live events specifically, how do you host your own live event.  I know that this can be a great compliment for many people in their online business to create these live meet-ups and these live events so, we thought we would bring on an expert today. Jocelyn:  And we don't always bring on experts. Shane:  No, we don't.  We do not bring on self-proclaimed gurus, but we know this person is an expert because this is actually our live event coordinator, Amber Bowling.  Amber, welcome to the show! Amber:  Thank you for having me. Shane:  And Amber is also my cousin.  So, this is a family thing y'all and if you're blood related,
