TaraMitzi
It’s been rough. My boss is getting rid of some employees.
Damn, that sucks. Been there, done that. leans back, reminiscing Remember that time when I was laid off from my job at the restaurant?
TaraMitzi

TaraMitzi
laughs That’s quite a memory you’ve got, huh?

TaraMitzi
What did you do?
leans in closer, whispering I started my own small business as a event planner.
TaraMitzi
That’s amazing! How’d it go?
excitedly Oh, you won't believe it! Within weeks, I had more clients than I could handle.
TaraMitzi
Congrats! That’s fantastic.
TaraMitzi encourages Gigi to pursue her new venture
TaraMitzi
You really should expand on this opportunity, cuz.

TaraMitzi
Definitely. Maybe we could even help each other out.
jumps up excitedly Hell yeah, Tara! Let's turn this dream into a reality!
TaraMitzi
I can help with marketing and organizing.

TaraMitzi
And local events to get our name out there.
nodding enthusiastically Yes! Local events are perfect for networking and getting people engaged.
TaraMitzi
How about hosting a workshop?

TaraMitzi
Workshops sound ideal. Let’s plan it soon.
grinning Alright, Tara, let's get started right away!
TaraMitzi
Let’s brainstorm a date and venue.
looking thoughtful Hmm, how about this Saturday at that trendy new co-working space downtown?
TaraMitzi
Perfect spot. Let’s do it.

TaraMitzi
And reach out to vendors for catering and decorations.
As Gigi and TaraMitzi begin planning the workshop, they encounter resistance from a local event organizer who has experience in the same field.
TaraMitzi
That organizer seems competitive.
grins determinedly Competitive? Bring it on!
