Let’s All Pause for a Moment (ft. Tim Richardson | Keynote Speaker | Author & Leadership Expert)

In this episode of No More Bad Events, host Scott Bloom sits down with keynote speaker and leadership expert Tim Richardson to explore the crucial relationship between speakers and event planners, highlighting the importance of thorough pre-event communication, shared expectations, and tailored event experiences. The conversation dives deep into Tim’s unique philosophy of “pausitivity”—the power of the pause—and how intentional breaks and reflection can foster innovation, creativity, and actionable change for both individuals and organizations. The episode offers practical strategies for integrating structured and unstructured pause moments into event schedules, discusses how to create environments where key messages stick, and emphasizes the holistic planning approach needed for memorable, meaningful events. Listeners also gain personal insight into Tim’s development as a speaker, the lessons he’s learned from both event successes and mishaps, and his perspectives on balancing professional commitments with family and personal growth.

What’s Neuroscience Got to Do with It? (ft. Rich Kuepper | Founder & President L.E.A.D. U.S.A. | Leader & Team Development Expert)

This episode of No More Bad Events takes a smart turn. It deals with neuroscience and how people learn, connect, and change behavior; especially when an event is designed to do more than just deliver information. Scott Bloom sits down with corporate trainer and keynote speaker Rich Kuepper to explore what it really takes to turn a meeting, workshop, or conference into something people actually feel and act upon. Rich brings nearly three decades of experience designing learning experiences that move beyond passive, information-heavy training and into the world of immersive, behavior-changing development. What makes Rich’s approach different is that he doesn’t just teach content — he creates experiences. From challenge-based exercises that push people outside their comfort zones to high-energy moments designed to build resilience, leadership, and rapport, Rich shows how neuroscience and event design can work together to create real transformation. The conversation digs into why psychological safety matters so much, how humor and human connection help people open up, and why movement, novelty, and surprise are such powerful tools for keeping audiences engaged. Scott and Rich also talk about the importance of debriefing after the action, tailoring the experience to the audience, and thinking intentionally about how a room is set up so people can connect, move, and learn together. If you care about creating events that do more than deliver information — events that inspire action, shift perspective, and energize a room — this conversation is packed with practical insight and fresh ideas.

Inside the Experience Design Report: What 447 Event Pros Want You to Know (ft. Julius Solaris | Founder, Boldpush | Events Consultant and Creator)

In this episode of No More Bad Events, Scott welcomes event industry thought leader Julius Solaris for an in-depth discussion on the recently released Experience Design Report, authored by Julius Solaris in partnership with Encore. The conversation dives into the shifts in attendee expectations—especially among Gen Z and millennials—highlighting the increasing demand for authentic connection, micro-events, and meaningful personalization at conferences and trade shows. Scott and Julius explore surprising findings from the report, such as the gap between the importance of connection and how few event professionals intentionally design for it. They examine the rise of ambassador programs, the challenges and opportunities with AI-driven matchmaking, and the need for planners to rethink the traditional event registration drivers—including keynote speakers and panels. Other highlights include actionable advice for event professionals on closing the connection gap, the value of early planning with production partners, and the importance of inclusivity for both introverts and extroverts. Julius Solaris also shares personal stories, his journey into events, and what excites him about the industry’s future. If you want to understand what’s next in event experience design, this episode is a must-listen.
