The Event Pioneers Podcast Premiere
Event Pioneers is for established event business owners who look successful on the outside but know their business still depends too heavily on them.
Hosted by Daniel Linares, founder of DLE Event Group, this show dives into the real challenges of scaling an event business beyond hustle. After building a brand that hit revenue goals but felt like an expensive job, Daniel shares the hard-earned lessons that helped him shift from operator to true owner.
Each episode explores practical frameworks around leadership, brand positioning, lead generation, sales optimization, delegation, and systems specifically for the events industry. No fluff. No generic business advice. Just clear thinking, real-world strategy, and tools you can apply between events.
If you’ve built something real, but it feels heavier than it should…
If growth is exposing cracks instead of creating freedom…
This podcast exists to help you design the next chapter intentionally.
Welcome to Event Pioneers.
