Festival Geeks

Festival Geeks is the practical business podcast for artists, makers, food vendors and entrepreneurs who sell at festivals, craft shows, fairs and markets. Hosted by Michael Priest, an experienced business owner and working festival vendor, each episode tackles one real problem vendors face—from choosing profitable events and pricing products correctly to controlling expenses, improving booth presentation, managing inventory and having better conversations with customers. You will hear hard-earned lessons, honest vendor stories and practical steps you can use in your own business. There are no one-size-fits-all pricing formulas, promises that every event will be successful or motivational speeches pretending the difficult parts do not exist. Festival Geeks is about understanding your numbers, making better decisions and learning from people who are actually doing the work. Whether you are preparing for your first show or trying to turn years of weekend events into a dependable business, Festival Geeks will help you protect your profit, avoid costly mistakes and build something that can grow beyond the next festival. Real Stories. Real Lessons. Real Results.
