What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
It's creating that like once in a lifetime experience. We might do like something that you wouldn't expect and something you couldn't plan on your own. You can't describe this unless you're actually here. So it's like giving people those kinds of experiences is truly what like warms my heart. And that's like what I'm passionate about and what our company loves to do.
Anju Lin is an entrepreneur, event strategist, and the founder of Explore Marketing. She helps organizations create impactful meetings, incentive programs, and travel experiences that inspire teams, strengthen relationships, and drive lasting business success.
We make it work every time. We do. We just figure out a way and figure out a solution. And that's kind of like the mentality. We don't take no for an answer. Like if someone's like, oh, that's not possible. Like my team knows never to come to me and say like they said it can't be done because I'll be like... What are you talking about? Of course it can be done. Get them on the phone. Let's figure this out. There's always a way if you have the will.
For the audience out there, what would you say is like your number one key to success?
Understanding that.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Living Your Legacy podcast. Today, I am joined by Miss Anju Lin. How are you?
I'm good. How are you? Thank you for having me.
Of course, of course. Welcome to the show.
Thank you.
Now, you just finished recording your episode of Women in Power. First of all, how do you feel now, now that you're on the other side of it?
I feel less nervous now that I'm on the other side of it, but it's good.
You had a little bit of those jitters going into it?
At the beginning, but your team was awesome, and they made me feel really comfortable, so I feel like by the end it was good, and I'm going to trust that the editing team is going to make me look even better.
I put all my faith in my editor. Absolutely. And you interviewed with Kofi, which he's really, really great. And I'm not just saying that because he's within earshot. But what would you say is the number one thing that you want people to be able to learn or like take away from your story?
Well, I think it's probably twofold. I think one is to learn and understand what we do as an event planning team and really our incentive market and what that's all about. And I think the other thing is for other women who are trying to start out as business owners, if I can drop a little knowledge, help them in any way with their business, that would really be the twofold, right? So something for our company, but then something to help other women out and support other small businesses.
Now, event planning, funny enough, like working in production, I've worked hand in hand with a lot of different event planners because audio visual production is usually like a piece in the puzzle that is planning an event, right? Yep. That is not an easy world to get into. So how did you get into this world?
Yeah. So I watched this show, which you're too young to remember, but it's called Hotel. And it was like on ABC at nine o'clock. And my parents would let me stay up late when I was a kid and watch it. And I always wanted to own my own hotel and be the next Leona Helmsley. and she was just this boss babe. You know, they didn't have that term then, but she just was awesome, and everyone, she just ran this hotel, and she did it with so much grace, and I just thought it was the coolest job ever. So from a really young age, I wanted to get into hotel restaurant management, and that was my major in college, and got out of college, got into the business, and realized there's absolutely no work-life balance.
