Episode 549 – Behind the Scenes of A-List Event Planning | Steve Einzig

In this week’s episode, I sit down with the amazing Steve Einzig, an A-list booking agent and the CEO of bookingentertainement.com. 

bookingentertainement.com specializes in booking big name A-list musicians and entertainers such as John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Nicks, Seal, and Maroon 5 for private and corporate events, catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
