How We Threw the Best Indy 500 Tailgate Ever!
From 2,000 drinks to $2.6K cash giveaways, here’s how we hosted the first infield truck and made the Indy 500 tailgate a wild, profitable party.
Podcast Summary
While it was still fresh in my mind I turned on the mics and the cameras and explained exactly how we hosted a truly EPIC Indy 500 tailgate.
We shared over 2,000 beverages (milk and coffee included.)
Gave away $2,600 in cash
Was the first truck in the infield of the Indy 500
And had SO much fun pulling it off.
In this episode I share:
Where the idea came from
The execution that made it a reality
How we made the whole thing profitable
