How to Run a Profitable Event with Katie Hornor

In this episode, I’m joined by international keynote speaker, author, and business strategist Katie Hornor for a powerful conversation about how to run profitable events without compromising your faith or values.

Katie shares her unique approach to event planning—starting with the end in mind, embracing authenticity, and using transparency to build trust and drive results. Whether you're planning a retreat, workshop, or full conference, Katie’s insight will help you create events that are not only impactful but aligned with your calling.

We also talk about how your story, style, and strengths are tools God can use to make a difference through your business. If you’re a Christian coach who feels called to stand out, this episode will encourage you to step forward with confidence.

Here’s what we cover:

• How to blend faith and business without compromise

• Why authenticity attracts the right people to your events

• How to serve through speaking (not sell from the stage)

• A simple strategy to reverse-engineer your event for success

• Why clarity and transparency around your offer matters

• How to prepare your event 6–12 months in advance

• What to do if not everyone buys—hint: serve anyway
