Free networking events are full of broke business owners trying to make money off other broke business owners. That's not shade — that's just the math.

In this solo episode of the Un-Traditional Entrepreneur Podcast, host Juming Delmas comes fresh off speaking at Podfest — one of the biggest podcast conferences in the country — to break down the real difference between people who invest in their business and people who make excuses not to.

Bed bugs, rental car drama, bad tires, no hotel until 4am — the universe threw everything at Juming trying to keep him from getting to that stage. He showed up anyway. And that's exactly his point.

Topics covered:
- Why serious entrepreneurs pay for conferences — and what free networking events actually cost you
- Juming's experience speaking at Podfest and what he observed about the room
- What David Shands taught him without saying a single word (networking vs. rubbing elbows with sponsors)
- The real reason most business owners skip paid conferences: they're broke
- Paid conferences vs. free networking events: who's actually in the room
- Why five-plus year business owners still attending free events are stuck
- How the obstacles getting to a conference mirror the obstacles of running a business
- Why avoiding investment guarantees stagnation — always
- Free access creates free results: the mindset shift every growing business needs

If you've ever made an excuse for not investing in your business — this episode is going to make you uncomfortable. Good.
