## Resource

In this episode of Ignite Your Events, we sit down with Krista Benoit, founder of iSPARK Consulting, to talk about the power of working with people who actually inspire you. From her unapologetic ”No Assholes Allowed” philosophy to building a business rooted in integrity, kindness and collaboration, Krista shares how saying “no” to toxic energy can unlock joy, creativity and real results. We dig into how event pros can be more intentional about who they work with, why it matters, and how to set a vibe-check standard that protects your energy and elevates your work. If you’ve ever needed permission to walk away from the chaos and toward people who fuel your purpose, this is your sign. You will LOVE Krista’s approach to discovery calls Get ready for an episode packed with tons of inspirational ideas for event pros!
