In this episode, we sit down with Charity Hill and Steve Sheldon, Co-Founders of Epic Entertainment, to celebrate nearly a decade of creating unforgettable experiences in the world of live events.

We talk about some of the standout projects they've worked on, the challenges that come with bringing ambitious ideas to life, and what it takes to create an event that truly connects with an audience.

We also dive into their philosophy surrounding event creation from developing an initial concept to building an immersive experience that leaves a lasting impression. What makes an event memorable? How do you balance creativity, storytelling, logistics, and the expectations of an audience? And after nearly 10 years in the industry, how has their approach evolved?
