All right, so today I have Priscilla Barone on the line, and she’s an ambassador for the Megamix Expo.
Priscilla, welcome to the show. It’s nice to be here. All right, Priscilla. So I’m excited about the upcoming Megamix Expo. Let me tell you, I’ve been talking to Tony. I went and I toured the I went and I toured the site and I know the Megamix Expo is going to be taking place at the Santa Anita Park over in Arcadia, California, March 12th through 13th.
First question for you, how did you get involved with the Expo? So, last year when they had it in Ontario I had the experience to cover the event and just kind of see the feel like how everything was setting up and I had already met Tony from other events and that was my first time going to an expo.
This is their 7th expo they’re gonna have this year on the 2020. On March, so were you an ambassador to get last year? Or did you just take on that role this year? Just so I make sure I have the story. Right? I don’t want to say it wrong. Yeah, I just became an ambassador starting this year.
That’s awesome. And what I love about that is there was obviously something was happening or something was going right, because people don’t just waste their time. Like, , what drew you to step up to the plate and get involved and take on that role? Definitely the teamwork that Expo has created through Tony and his team.
That’s what got me so excited to want to get more involved me going to the Expo last year. Was just a mind blowing the workshops, the way you get to interact with different business owners and CEOs and creators of their own company it’s companies that we go and, , by our own products from, , I knew that was the right place to want to talk about another business and to grow as networking , and, just.
Being in the field with this kind of mindset was definitely what got my attention to get involved. What can you tell us about this year’s event? do people need to be there? Definitely, if they weren’t there last year, they need to be there this year. This year, I believe , it’s going to be More 1 on 1 with everything, not only is there going to be a red carpet and there’s going to be interviews, there’s going to be more workshops.
There’s going to be more entertainment. So, I believe , they’re going to have more time to interact with everyone. This is meant for them. Yeah. For them to grow. Have you been to the Santa Anita Park before? Even before this?
Have you been there by any chance? No. This is my first time. Oh, it’s so cool. So for everybody that’s listening, that’s not familiar with Santa Anita park. It’s, it’s actually a horse racing track. And I’ve been there a couple of times and it’s beautiful. It overlooks the mountains and you can just see it.
I mean, on a clear day, you see the mountain, even actually not on a clear day. It’s pretty close to the mountain. So you can see it, the in and out the parking, there’s like endless parking, which you never hear about in California, but there is, it’s easy to get in and out. And the layout, I think. And everything else and we’re going to be, I don’t know if you know this, Priscilla, but I’m going to be going out there with my team and I’m going to be doing some live interviews and we’re going to cover the event.
We’re going to shoot a bunch of social media footage. So we’re hoping that many from our audience are gonna show up and have some fun there. . And I believe that there’s still opportunities for people that want booths or vendors or things like that. , can you talk a little bit about that?
Like, just the booth set up and what, you know, of that. Oh, yeah, there’s definitely still available. So there’s anything from an 8 by 10 or 8 by 16. there’s different sections. So if they do go on megamexexpo. com, they could see a layout of where what spaces are still available. Oh, and they could just, pick , their location where they want to be.
It’s not just like you just come here and we do, you get to choose your space. You get to set up the way you will like your business to be represented. Everything is, very catered to each business. , it doesn’t look like you’re just going to a factory that’s just going to show you something.
Every single business has their own. Oh, you’re to their business. So it’s really, really beautiful to see last year at the Ontario, like just seeing different companies and there was even like a school with their students that were just asking questions. They just wanted to know how to grow and how they could get involved in this kind of.
Business orientation, and it was just very amazing to see the new generation. So hungry and I hope they’re going to be there this year. I’m not aware yet, but there is so much exposure on business levels, everything from high school students being involved to, all kinds of businesses. It was just really, really amazing
the spaces are very much catered to your needs. So if you go on mega mix dot com, you could see the layout and that’s a way that you could choose how big you want to expose to your business and definitely. That’s the way to go because a lot of people I’ve seen, they get like a small space and then the next year they get a bigger one because they realize, , they had more stuff, but , they got so excited.
They liked the way their business was exposed and they brought a bigger team. So, yeah, there’s always people coming back. , when I was in the Ontario event, I was able to talk to people that told me this is my third time, this is my fourth time, and I was just like, wow. Like, I was excited to see, like, oh my god, like, you know, everyone already knew each other, and more people that were new were, like, excited to be there.
It really, really, really makes you feel like you’re at home. And Tony and Megamix team has made a really, really good atmosphere for people to feel like, hey, you have questions. How can I help you grow? How can we get involved? It’s not just me, you know, as an ambassador trying to figure out what I’m going to do.
Like, I am definitely , they have a lot of zoom calls. They have a lot of meetings. They have a lot of ways for the team to grow for you to. It’s not like becoming an excitement. Like, you are this person. But now they’re building you in a way that you’re like, this is the reason that all these businesses are growing and you’re growing with them.
So it’s definitely a really, really good networking platform to be at definitely for any starting business or any business that has already been probably in the market, but now they’re like, , trying to figure out how to get involved in this new. Atmosphere of being in the platforms and media, and how to, how network around all these platforms that a lot of people are still not going digital, and they have a lot of workshops where they’re going to show you how to get involved with your business and different levels that maybe that’s the reason a lot of other businesses are not getting discovered.
What kind of businesses have you found are a good fit or like what kind of businesses are there like represented and , whether it’s geography where they’re located or like trade or industry, like, what kind of people attend and what kind of businesses are there? I noticed there was a lot of there was health businesses.
There was a lot of businesses that already do a lot of digital marketing. , I was like a little kid in a workshop, like, literally, like, just seeing everybody how their businesses are already established, like, big companies. I was like, wow, that person’s here and just asking them, how did you start?
What do you think it was like a way not to invest? Or like, what would you take this a different level? There was a lot of companies like on top of my head. I don’t have one right now, but like, there was just a lot of companies and they’re mostly all from California, right? Companies. That’s what I mean.
Right? They’re all like local. Yes. Yes, are and a lot of people if you are from a different place, like, San Francisco or like, you know, anything near that you’re like, willing to drive. I’m pretty sure you could still get involved in and get your business exposed. That’s why it’s really important for them to check out mega mix expo dot com and see the layout works for them.
Like, pick a spot. And, they still have a lot of time. This is till March 12 and 13. So there’s still a lot of spaces available and there’s still time to grow. And a lot of people sometimes are scared and best this way. I will still recommend you, you go and check out how it is to be there, like, even people that have gone just to be part of the event.
And then they realized I should have brought my event, like, I should be part of this. Yeah, I should like, this is the way I want to expose my business. So, you really can get away from it because once you have the workshops, they had entertainment. Real life music. This year’s even bigger, , it’s going to be a lot different compared to when we were at the convention center, as you already went to look at the location.
If this is this year, I really recommend people get involved because it is going to be a whole more. I think we’re going to get to rub shoulders more and talk to people more and have a lot more freedom. Just to be there and talk to everybody. Yeah, it’s great. Well, I’ll tell you, Priscilla, this has been a lot of fun having you on the show.
