They said yes... now how much do you pay them? If you've ever DMed a balloon friend for help on a big job and then panicked in your group chat about what's fair, this episode is for you. I'm sharing real numbers and the one change I'm making to how I hire help from now on. Hiring another balloon pro is one of the biggest mysteries in our industry. There's no standard day rate, no contract and usually just a handshake agreement. So in this free preview of the private feed On The Bright Side, I'm

What if you could skip the whole balloon sustainability debate? Our guest in this episode does just that, and might be the first person to change my mind about how to actually implement practical sustainability efforts.

Read excerpt
Ten years ago I didn't know how having a half dozen colors in my logo would actually limit my branding options. AI can absolutely help you avoid that mistake... but it can also walk you straight into it. In this episode I'm joined once again by Courtney of Courtney Lynette Creative Co., and we're talking about AI and branding from a designer's point of view. Courtney builds websites and branding for a lot of balloon artists, so she knows exactly where this tends to go wrong. We get into why AI i
