You think event planning is just about making things look pretty, but what if that's not what makes an event actually work?

Ema Poi isn't your typical event curator. She spent over a decade in customer experience analytics and telecom strategy before founding Emaculate Conceptions, bringing all that data-driven thinking into how she designs experiences.

This isn't about aesthetics. It's about strategy, intentionality, and creating moments that leave a lasting impact.

In this episode, Ema breaks down:

• Why data and analytics make events more effective (not just prettier)
• How she transitioned from telecom strategy to event curation
• The power of networking and being in rooms you need to be in to expand
• The difference between planning an event and designing an experience
• How she balances running her firm with serving on prestigious Houston boards
• Why most people are missing the strategy behind high-impact events

Ema serves on the boards of Houston Business Women and Texas Young Professionals, and holds a foundational role as the Event Director for The Standard.

Whether she’s strategizing engagement or designing a large-scale event, Ema’s work is always "Ema-ginative" by concept and perfectly executed by design.

Everyone's saying TV is dead.

Social media is king. Traditional news doesn't matter anymore. Nobody's watching.

But what if that's not true?

In this episode, Emmy-winning ABC13 anchor Erica Simon breaks down what 19 years in the news industry has taught her, and why broadcast news still matters more than you think.

She's covered hurricanes, national tragedies, and breaking news that shaped communities. And she's pulling back the curtain on what the industry really looks like behind the scenes, the pressure, the process, and why you should still be tuning in.

You'll learn:

• Why TV news isn't dying (and what it offers that social media can't)
• What really happens behind the scenes in a newsroom
• How she's balanced 19 years on-air with motherhood and faith
• The stories that shaped her career—from hurricanes to Astroworld
• Why her favorite verse, Galatians 6:9, keeps her grounded in the chaos
• What the future of broadcast journalism actually looks like

Here's the truth: Social media gives you opinions. TV news gives you accountability, credibility, and depth.
