Far more important than that, we have a chance today to visit with an incredible entrepreneur and professional. We're visiting today with Michelle Byers Robson. Michelle's going to talk to us about a couple different things.
She runs a business, she manages events, she's also a real estate investor, and she's an incredible professional that we have the chance to work with and to utilize her company's services so we're not just fans, we're customers as well. Michelle, can you take a moment and tell the audience a little bit about what you do and about yourself?
That's awesome, Scott. Thanks so much for having me on today. I guess I would call myself a little bit of a serial entrepreneur and really started finding areas and places where there was a need. It's some of the stuff that you've spoken about on some of the webinars you've done in the past, which is finding that niche and then filling that and filling it really well.
So throughout the years, I've just kind of kept my eyes open and my ears open and looked for opportunities and places where we can fill a need. And it's really fun to me to have the opportunity to be able to see visions and then bring them to light. So I have a lot of fun doing that.
And you do an incredible job. It cannot be understated in the world that we live in, when you find people to work with that are tremendous at what they do and so user-friendly and so service-oriented, how much we prefer and appreciate working with people like that. Take a moment and how you got into the business and how you got into real estate investing.
Awesome. So, well, I got into the business that I'm currently in a little bit. I like to tell people I tripped and fell over backwards into it. I actually was working in industry in the pharmaceutical biotech and medical devices industry and was an executive doing that and actually found myself at a position where my job was being outsourced
and had an option to take the job as a contractor versus staying on with a kind of a revised structure to the company. And so when I took that job as an outsourced employee, I started to realize that there was, again, this need out there to create medical conferences put on by physicians, put on by clinicians, for clinicians.
And so said, hey, you know, I guess what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. So I jumped in. I had a few friends of mine who needed some help putting together their conferences. And learned, I like to say, by drinking from the fire hose. There were a lot of things I didn't know that I didn't know. But when I survived it, I went, hey, that was a lot of fun. And I think there's something here.
