On this episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez welcomes Vinnie Fisher, founder of Mentor Academy, serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and seasoned event leader. With over 50 live events under his belt and a track record of building multiple 7- and 8-figure companies, Vinnie brings a level of clarity and wisdom that every event leader needs to hear. As someone who transitioned from practicing law to full-time entrepreneurship in 2007, Vinnie has since dedicated his life to helping others build businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven. His most recent venture, Mentor Academy, is designed specifically for second-career professionals—typically around age 45—who have the wisdom and expertise but need the structure and systems to thrive as coaches and mentors.

Throughout this insightful conversation, Rudy and Vinnie dive deep into the three major themes that event leaders must master if they want to succeed in today’s environment. First, they discuss The Power of Precision: Dialing in the “Who” Before the “How.” Vinnie explains that one of the biggest mistakes event hosts make is trying to appeal to everyone. Instead, he encourages leaders to define their exact audience—right down to age, experience level, and goals—and then build every part of their event around serving that specific person. Vinnie shares his own experience refining his messaging to speak directly to 45-year-old professionals looking to transition into coaching, which dramatically increased his event conversions and client retention.

Next, they explore the idea of Curation Over Crowds: Why a Smaller, Qualified Room Wins Every Time. Vinnie makes a compelling case that a curated room filled with the right people creates more organic flow, better engagement, and ultimately stronger long-term relationships. In fact, he suggests that the more you curate, the less rigid your agenda needs to be. Rather than worrying about numbers, the focus should be on alignment—on making sure each seat is filled by someone who truly belongs.

Lastly, the conversation turns to Value Over Hype: Ethical Enrollment That Builds Long-Term Clients. Vinnie shares his evolution from using scarcity-based sales tactics to enrolling clients through genuine value. He emphasizes that enrollment should be about helping people see what’s possible for themselves and making a clear decision—yes or no—with integrity. He shares that getting to “no” is just as valuable as getting to “yes,” and that clarity in value leads to both better conversions and deeper relationships with clients.

If you’re an event leader looking to move beyond surface-level tactics and into high-integrity, high-conversion strategies that actually work, this episode is a must-listen. Vinnie’s direct, heartfelt, and value-packed approach will not only inspire you—it’ll challenge you to uplevel every aspect of how you plan, promote, and lead your events.
