Join Stacy Ringer and the Ideas NW crew as they spill the tea (and sometimes the vodka) on the adventures <em>and</em> misadventures of pulling off events that look flawless to attendees but often feel like a circus behind the curtain.</p>\n<p>From clients-turned-friends to last-minute disasters that somehow become epic wins, this podcast dives into what to do, what <em>not</em> to do, and how to laugh (and maybe cry) your way through it all. Think of it as group therapy with a side of sarcasm, stories that are way too real, and just enough insider tips to make you feel like part of the team.</p>\n<p>Because in the end? The best-laid plans rarely go as planned, but the outcomes—like the stories—are unforgettable.</p>","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/21255113/Martiniswolives1_300x300.jpg","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
