Rachel and Dave Season 1 Episode 4

PART 2 - In this episode of The EventTalk Podcast, we sit down with powerhouse duo Joy Johnson—event planner —and Eddie Johnson—NBA veteran, sports broadcaster, and dynamic speaker.



From the courts to the event stage, Joy and Eddie share how they’ve turned their unique experiences into unforgettable events. They talk about blending strategy with style, what it takes to create moments that matter, and the unexpected curveballs (and clients) that still catch them off guard. 


From managing the unique pressures of public life to building a business that blends purpose and professionalism, this episode dives into the dynamics of marriage with an NBA player—on and off the court. Joy and Eddie Johnson share how they support one another in the event world and beyond, using their individual strengths to create experiences that matter. They open up about the kinds of events today’s athletes really want to be part of—ones that feel authentic, intentional, and community-driven—and how they team up to bring that vision to life. It’s a conversation full of laughter, love, and the behind-the-scenes balance that makes their partnership so powerful.



Hot mics, cold drinks, and untold disasters—this one dives into what it’s really like to be partners in life and work.
