And I was like, yeah, no problem.

You can just use places for free.

People are often very happy for you to use their places.

For events, we've used the Teachable offices in New York.

Maybe I shouldn't say this because they don't want people to know we used all these places for free, but WeWork always gives us space for free to do events.

We are very rarely even paying for event spaces because we just pitch the idea of how cool the event will be to companies and places.

And they're often, especially if you're

using their product, they're often like, yeah, that sounds cool.

For example, if you have a school community and if you want to do an in-person event and your school community is kind of fun and interesting, let's say Sam really likes the artistic one.

So like if you're doing like a painting school community or a guitar learning school community, by the way, don't let him, I don't know if he will say yes to this.

This is just a thought.

But there's no harm in asking him, hey, we're doing an IRL event for our school community.

Is there any chance we could use your office?

He'll say no 80% of the time, probably.

But 20% of the time, he might be interested in it.

Or you could ask, there's so many places to get spaces.

So you asked me ages ago, and I went on a very big ramble, how would I actually do it?

Number one for me actually, honestly, is just choosing the dates.

Number two for me is finding a location.

Number three for me is kind of figuring out how do I pitch this?
