Local Serial Entrepreneur Steven Herring: From All About Events to All About Letting Go | Up+Adam
<p><a href="https://themountainair.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-2vexwCImEo7fYkgDocUsgc8BPNCVWr5nK-7fVJPptnVrafoq" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Sponsored by The Mountain Air</a> | <a href="https://bennysppsc.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Sponsored by Benny’s Pizza</a> | <a href="https://slofreeparking.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">SLOFreeParking</a></p><p>Local and serial entrepreneur Steven Herring joins Adam Montiel in the SLO CAL Studios for Part 1 of a wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, systems, and the danger of becoming indispensable inside the company you created.</p><p>Steven shares how his entrepreneurial instinct showed up early, from selling mistletoe and Pogs as a kid to starting Party Partners Rental with a small collection of tables, folding chairs, and a trailer parked in the Atascadero Vons lot. That side hustle eventually merged with All About Table Tops and became All About Events, now one of the Central Coast’s most recognizable event rental companies.</p><p>But this is not simply an entrepreneurial victory lap. Steven explains why the owner is often the biggest bottleneck in a growing company, why everything living inside the founder’s head eventually becomes a liability, and why documented systems, standard operating procedures, clear chains of command, and consistent accountability must be established before a business can truly scale.</p><p>Adam and Steven also talk about learning to accept someone else performing a job at 90 percent of the owner’s personal standard, the difference between delegation and abandonment, and why assigning a task without follow-up creates frustration instead of freedom. Steven shares how he uses task-management systems and leadership structures to oversee six companies while remaining focused on the larger operation rather than every daily decision.</p><p>The conversation also explores the devastating impact of 2020 on All About Events. Steven had invested heavily in inventory ahead of what was expected to be a record wedding season, only to watch events disappear almost overnight. He discusses the financial pressure, the demand for returned deposits, the community-minded Dining in the Park effort, and how rebuilding leaner taught him to read the story hidden inside a company’s financials.</p><p>Part 1 closes with the mission behind Legacy Leadership Consulting. Steven is not interested in collecting consulting fees from owners who will not implement change. He wants to work with disciplined business owners who are prepared to be held accountable, become stronger leaders, and create a trickle-down effect by developing leaders throughout their organizations.</p><p>In Part 2, Adam and Steven get into discipline, 4:00 a.m. cold plunges, Gain Station Gym, company culture, communication styles, AI in business, working alongside your spouse, and the personal habits behind Steven’s professional philosophy.</p><p>• Legacy Leadership Consulting:<a href="https://legacyhq.io/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://legacyhq.io/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">legacyhq.io</a></p><p>• Steven Herring on Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/stevenherringofficial/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stevenherringofficial/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">instagram.com/stevenherringofficial</a></p><p>• All About Events:<a href="https://allaboutevents.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://allaboutevents.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">allaboutevents.com</a></p><p>• Gain Station Gym:<a href="https://gainstationgym.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://gainstationgym.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">gainstationgym.com</a></p><p>********</p><p>*PORTABIDET: <a href="https://www.portabidets.com?sca_ref=10590415.eGqvIsLsKj" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">UP+ADAM IS AN OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR PORTABIDET - USE THIS LINK FOR UP+ADAM LISTENERS TO LEARN MORE AND GET YOURS!</a></p>Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:<ul><li>Official Website:<a href="https://adammontiel.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://adammontiel.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">adammontiel.com</a></li><li>Apple Podcasts:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/up-and-adam/id1642609315" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/up-and-adam/id1642609315" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Up+Adam on Apple Podcasts</a></li><li>Spotify:<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6TimJ7b4j7VoXUkFDn3MAK" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6TimJ7b4j7VoXUkFDn3MAK" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Up+Adam on Spotify</a></li><li>iHeartRadio:<a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-up-adam-with-adam-montiel-62773139/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-up-adam-with-adam-montiel-62773139/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Up+Adam on iHeartRadio</a></li><li>YouTube Music:<a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs8sHVmfgTwuW5k8TUu1Rb429luyfibk3" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs8sHVmfgTwuW5k8TUu1Rb429luyfibk3" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Up+Adam on YouTube Music</a></li></ul><p>********</p><p><a href="https://woodshumanesociety.org/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!</a></p><p>********</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_iApUqcnQk&t=13s" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">ADAM’S TEDX VIDEO IS HERE!</a></p><p></p><p>********</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamontheair/?hl=en" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);">FOLLOW ADAM ON INSTAGRAM</a></p><p></p><p>*********</p><p>Sincere Thanks to the current supporters of Up + Adam.

SLO County Tea Sommelier Explains Living Tea | My Favorite Winemaker & I Learn the Way of Tea | Up+Adam
<p><a href="https://themountainair.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-2vexwCImEo7fYkgDocUsgc8BPNCVWr5nK-7fVJPptnVrafoq" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Sponsored by The Mountain Air</a> | <a href="https://bennysppsc.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Sponsored by Benny’s Pizza</a> | <a href="https://slofreeparking.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">SLOFreeParking</a></p><p>What if tea was more than something you drink when you’re sick, sleepy, or trying to be “healthy”? What if it could be a way to taste place, slow down, gather with people, and pay attention to the world around you?</p><p>On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Jennifer de Tréglodé, founder of Inari Tea & Art Experiences and SLO County’s Tea Sommelier, for a conversation that opens tea up in a completely new way. Jennifer reached out with the idea that in a region so deeply connected to wine, tea can offer another beautiful lens into terroir, ritual, ecology, craftsmanship, sensory experience, land, culture, and community. She introduces Adam to Chado, the Way of Tea, and shares how tea can become a practice of presence, comfort, curiosity, and connection.</p><p>Joining the conversation is Adam’s dear friend Jordan Fiorentini, winemaker and Director of Winemaking at Epoch Estate Wines, who helps connect the dots between tea and wine in a way that makes the whole subject easier to understand. Together, Adam, Jennifer, and Jordan talk about how tea and wine are both grown from the earth, shaped by place, influenced by temperature and extraction, and experienced through aroma, texture, tannin, flavor, and feeling. They also get into the everyday stuff: why water temperature matters, why loose leaf tea can be a game changer, why some teas become bitter, what “living tea” means, and how a really good cup of tea can feel surprisingly alive.</p><p>This episode is for tea lovers, wine lovers, coffee people, sober-curious listeners, food lovers, wellness seekers, Central Coast locals, and anyone who has ever wanted a simple ritual that makes life feel a little less rushed. You do not need to know anything about tea to enjoy this conversation. In fact, that’s part of the fun. Adam comes in curious, Jordan comes in with a winemaker’s palate, and Jennifer brings a whole world of tea, ceremony, farming, flavor, and presence to the table.</p><p>Links:</p><p>• Inari Tea & Art Experiences:<a href="https://www.inariteaart.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.inariteaart.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.inariteaart.com</a></p><p>• Sacred Mountain Teas:<a href="https://www.sacredmountainteas.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.sacredmountainteas.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.sacredmountainteas.com</a></p><p>• Jennifer on Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/inariteaandart" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/inariteaandart" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.instagram.com/inariteaandart</a></p><p>• The Art of Tea Class at Sichuan Kitchen:<a href="https://www.sichuankitchenslo.com/store/p151/The_Art_of_Tea_-__2_Day_Class.html#/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.sichuankitchenslo.com/store/p151/The_Art_of_Tea_-__2_Day_Class.html#/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.sichuankitchenslo.com/store/p151/The_Art_of_Tea_-__2_Day_Class.html#/</a></p><p>• Yunnan Tea Journey:<a href="https://deyi-living.com/en/offers/education/yunnan-tea-journey-november-2026/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://deyi-living.com/en/offers/education/yunnan-tea-journey-november-2026/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://deyi-living.com/en/offers/education/yunnan-tea-journey-november-2026/</a></p><p>• Epoch Estate Wines:<a href="https://epochestatewines.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://epochestatewines.com/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://epochestatewines.com</a></p><p>• Epoch on Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/epochwines/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/epochwines/" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://www.instagram.com/epochwines/</a></p><p>• Danube River Cruise with Adam and Jordan:<a href="https://adammontiel.com/cruise" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);"> </a><a href="https://adammontiel.com/cruise" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://adammontiel.com/cruise</a></p><p>********</p><p>*PORTABIDET: <a href="https://www.portabidets.com?sca_ref=10590415.eGqvIsLsKj" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">UP+ADAM IS AN OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR PORTABIDET -
