About This Podcast

Just One Thing is presented by Mel Noakes and Max Fellows and is a brand new event industry podcast brought to you by Elevate, providing mentoring and building community within the events industry. 


In this podcast we invite industry leaders to write a letter to their younger self and consider what wise advice they would give themselves now if they only could. Our discussion is based on this letter. Be prepared for refreshingly, honest and sincere conversations, wise words of wisdom and insider secrets. We’ve interviewed some incredible people and we’re excited to share them all with you.


Our sound and mix engineer is Matteo Magariello and our producer is Peter Kerwood.
