I genuinely believe hosting is one of the most invaluable skills you can have as a 20-year-old trying to grow rapidly. So as someone who's hosted over 40 different events, I'm going to teach you in 60 seconds what it took me 4 years to learn. 1. Start small. You have to start small. For example, if you wanna host a conference, you have to start by hosting a book club. If you wanna host a party, you have to start by hosting a pregame. This is important because not only do you get better at reading the room and hosting at lower stakes, but you can use this as an opportunity to get funding for whatever big event that you wanna throw. Because you can show companies and show sponsors that with their money, you have the capability of throwing something really good. Now, the reason that funding is super important because you wanna curate the vibe of the event. Props, lighting, theme, they all cost a lot of money. It helps not only the people in the room feel more special, but it also builds trust and creates space for vulnerability. Vulnerability is the biggest way to create an event that people actually remember. So the first way to do this is curation, but the second thing is integrating in different activities that help people have deeper conversations. For example, at my past dinners, conferences, I brought in a lot of motivational inspirational speakers who share their stories and get vulnerable first, so that people feel comfortable also sharing their own stories and getting vulnerable with each other. These are the top three things that I've learned from hosting. I definitely wanna go deeper into all of them. So if this is something that you really liked, make sure to follow for more.
