My guest Tracy Fuller has learned how to thrive as an entrepreneur after starting her first company, Happy Occasions, 32 years ago in response to a personal tragedy.
Nearly three decades later, she leads the team at InnovativEvents, providing event décor, backstage management, and overall coordination and management of all production aspects. She has produced dozens of corporate events – sometimes for an intimate group of corporate board members, other times for crowds as large as 3,000.
