In every facet of his life and endeavors, real estate investor, author, and speaker Jose Berlanga is a force of unwavering tenacity.
At only four years old, Jose found himself at death’s door following a devastating accident that left his body covered in third-degree burns. He spent his childhood growing up in various hospitals, leaving behind both physical and emotional scars that would carry into his adulthood. Determined not to let tragedies solely define his life story, Jose set out to make a name for himself.
Led by his passion and curiosity for the business world, entrepreneurship came naturally to him. Jose’s entrepreneurial pursuits have spanned numerous industries, with one thing remaining constant: his persistence and level of involvement. With all his pursuits, Jose takes a hands-on approach, getting involved in the day-to-day of all departments at what many may consider an unusual level. This involvement ranged from hiring and training hundreds of people, to personally negotiating a few thousand real estate transactions, both buying and selling.
Jose has achieved multimillionaire status four distinct times, in four separate industries: an import/export company for machinery for the Petrochemical industry, investments including a chain of Italian coffee bars, a residential construction company, and lastly, land development & construction.

Welcome back to Creating Powerful Impact!
I’m Shay Wheat, Certified Event Producer and CEO of Grace and Ease Productions, and today I’m excited to share with you the key strategies that will transform how you think about events—moving them from one-time happenings to reliable, year-round client acquisition machines. 🚀
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the effort it takes to plan an event and then left wondering “what’s next” when the event is over, you’re not alone.
I see this all the time. Business owners pour hours into planning, crafting pitches, coordinating speakers, and managing logistics, only to wrap up and feel like they’re starting from scratch again.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
In this episode, I’m breaking down three powerful strategies that I use with my clients to make sure their events don’t just end when the curtains close:
✨Reframe Your Event: You’ll learn how to shift your perspective and see your event as a critical part of a bigger client journey, instead of just a one-off sales opportunity. I’ll show you how to make your event the beginning of long-term client relationships that continue to grow.
✨Repurpose for Evergreen Content: Your event is a goldmine of content! I’ll teach you how to take everything you’ve created—whether it’s recordings, presentations, or behind-the-scenes footage—and turn it into evergreen content that drives interest and engagement long after the event has ended.
✨Post-Event Funnels: I’ll reveal the power of personalized post-event follow-ups, showing you how to nurture attendees into high-ticket clients. Some people are ready to buy on the spot, but many need more time and a bit more hand-holding—this is where a strategic post-event funnel can make all the difference.
I’ll also be sharing real-world client stories of how these strategies have transformed their events from one-time transactions into consistent, long-term revenue streams. These insights can help you avoid the “feast or famine” cycle of event planning and build a reliable system for ongoing client acquisition.
By the end of this episode, you’ll not only know how to make your events more profitable but also how to create a repeatable system that keeps working for you all year long.
Ready to take your events to the next level?
