\"Podcast<\/span><\/div>

In this episode of Events That Made Me<\/em>, Liz Taylor sits down with fellow events industry veteran, and friendly rival, Julian Posner, Founder and CEO of special event and production company Banana Split.<\/span><\/p>\n

With almost 40 years of knowing each other, plenty of mutual respect and more than a few pitches along the way, there\u2019s a lot to talk about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julian takes Liz right back to the beginning: becoming a DJ at just 14, saving \u00a3500 to buy his first equipment and discovering how the rather unforgettable name Banana Split came about.<\/span><\/p>\n

From there, things get considerably bigger.<\/span><\/p>\n

He reveals how a Saudi prince\u2019s 12th birthday party helped take the business to another level, including the small matter of being asked to \u201cturn Balham into a spaceship\u201d, and shares the story of stepping in to take over a multi-million-pound wedding in the South of France with only weeks to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are extraordinary clients, ambitious briefs, big decisions and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories from two people who have spent their careers creating events at the very top of the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also a conversation about what it really takes to build a business that lasts: trusting your instincts, taking risks, nurturing relationships and continuing to evolve in an industry where standing still simply isn\u2019t an option.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two events professionals. One industry they both still love.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, unsurprisingly, plenty of stories to tell.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
