In this special podcast episode, our host, Jonathan Aymin, sits down to be interviewed by Lindsey Lucas, a venue coaching consultant. Together, they delve into Jonathan's remarkable journey within the wedding industry and venue management.

Jonathan shares the origins of his business and his profound affection for the industry and his entrepreneurial endeavors, including the inception of a staffing company alongside his wife. He chronicles his diverse experiences, from various job roles to successfully managing a fine dining restaurant, ultimately unearthing his fervor for entrepreneurship.

The discussion then turns to Common Sense Events, Jonathan's brainchild, which initially began as a side project and, over the years, evolved into a full-fledged venue management company boasting multiple venues under its wing. Jonathan elaborates on the impressive revenue figures generated for property owners, all while reflecting on the challenges encountered, including the unprecedented disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated the cancellation and refunds of weddings in California.
