In our final interview recorded live at The Tuftex Experience, I'm chatting with Michelle and Sean of Lush Balloons about growth, efficiency and taking care of clients. We kick off by talking about the efficiencies they've incorporated into their business in order to reduce their number of staff and get higher profit margins… inflation and production, material organization, limiting offers and more. Then I always have to ask how people are able to come to conferences while their business stays home, and Sean and Michelle share how they've trained their employees to handle production and deliveries while they're away. They also share some nuggets about the class they taught at Tuftex - Cracking the Corporate Code; and we chat about how you just never know whether a small birthday bouquet could turn into a huge corporate referral. It was really neat to hear their story about market timing, standout designs, social media presence and client appreciation - thanks to them both!         In the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for using White-Out on your marquee letters.   Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  @lushballoons  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST)  Save $50 on FLOAT 2026 registration with code SARA Stay Booked  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline!

Dopeycon 2025 Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/1765668This week on Dopey we celebrate Dopes Heather and Jen! Both with ONE YEAR! We read some emails and I got to sit down with the legend! IDGAF Foods (aka the guy behind eating hot dogs off the floor on Instagram) for a brutally honest trip through his addiction, art, and recovery. From smoking crack at 15 in Manchester, CT, to guzzling buckets of Molly and shards of ketamine out of Kahlua bottles, to swallowing and later digging through his own shit for balloons of drugs, his story is a nonstop circus of chaos. He dodged arrests, hustled Oxy 80s and Hartford heroin, spent $500 a day chasing tar and Roxies in Utah, and somehow never got caught.Out of the madness came art: digital psychedelia, album covers for major bands, and eventually his IDGAF Foods account—where eating sketchy food became exposure therapy and a way to help addicts. Along the way: scam hustles, OCD hand-washing, sitting in trees at parties to dodge cops, exposure therapy with oat milk, Jimmy Fallon holding up his artwork, and a grandmother calling him an idiot. Now clean since 2012, he's turned the insanity into purpose, with IDGAF Foods helping people avoid relapse by saying “Don't Be a Fucking Pussy.”All that and more on this brand new episode of that good old Dopey Show! 

Brian H. Waters kicks off the show discussing how Target's removal of their DEI policy has hurt their stock and consumers are turning away (2:15).

Get ready for some positive, infectious energy from this episode's guest, Patricia of StickUp Artistry and Design! I had the opportunity to sit down with her live at the Tuftex Experience and she's sharing how she believes adding some deco-twisted elements in your decor can really impress your clients and make you stand out in a crowded market. She walks us through her decision-making process for incorporating deco-twisting into her offers and shares how there's room for everyone's style and preferences in the industry. She's also a big proponent of being willing to try anything because you just never know when you're going to need to use a particular skill or method. Lastly, Patricia shares her thoughts on how and why it's important to avoid burnout and practice community over competition.

Then we chat a little bit about: Their Canadian factory How they evaluate the Tuftex Experience What it's been liking getting into the twisting side of balloons And how some balloon color names are literally part of the family!

If you struggle with negotiating, or even the idea of negotiating, this episode is for you! Nikki of Violet Pineapple Balloons comes on the show to share some really helpful tips about negotiation, specifically for a rental space.  We'll hear about what she was looking for in a space, the listing price, what she's actually paying for it and all the things to think about as part of your negotiation. I was also curious about her lease length and the strategy she shared to negotiate that was brilliant! Nikki is going to give you a whole new way to think about not just negotiation but also leasing in general. She now has an opportunity to move into a larger space so we get to hear about her active negotiation and willpower to wait for what she wants.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact steps I take to help determine whether my constant business ideas are worth pursuing. I'll share some of the most recent things I've considered, what I almost immediately scrapped and what is still a possibility. I'm talking about: Gut checks on passion and ease  Profitability  Time, energy and bandwidth Business compatibility Then I'll share a few actual tactics I use if an idea passes all of those marks: soft launching, asking fellow balloon artists to borrow content and getting insight from industry contacts.  I wrap up with a bit of “homework” that you can do to further explore your ideas, or maybe get past them.

In Episode 33, we explain how by defending her excuses for her behavior towards an ASL interpreter, he's made it worse. Part 1- A scan of the headlines relating to our reports on: the late Coun. Jason Schreyer, unaddressed dangers to staff and public safety around the Health Sciences Centre, the Moving on Marion plan grinding to a standstill, and the chaos being caused to Transit users by the new routes and scheduling. That's the subject of our Sunday column in the Winnipeg Sun, Is Winnipeg's new Transit plan the next New Coke flop?16.40 Part 2- Instead of holding her accountable, Wab Kinew expects the disabled community she's insulted to hold her hand. "Our minister has apologized and is putting in the work with the community so it's with the greatest of humility that I want to ask folks in the deaf community to keep working with her.” Premier Wab Kinew to reporters."A written statement with no ASL translation, followed by a radio interview that is inaccessible to the community you are trying to reach and apologize to is not a mistake — it is an intentional harmful act.” Deaf social worker Cassandra Bell to the Winnipeg Free PressWhile Free Press pundit Dan Lett claimed it was only political opponents demanding Fontaine be turfed from the Accessibility portfolio, our last podcast proved him wrong. Then he had to read how wrong he was, in his own newspaper:“Speaking for myself, I think that minister Fontaine is not equipped to do her job as the minister of accessibility,”Bell said on Friday. “The majority of the people in the deaf community, that I've connected with, many are saying the same thing. What Nahanni Fontaine said is audist, ableist, discriminatory, and shows the root of her beliefs at her core."The newspaper also revealed a key detail they withheld earlier in the week - Fontaine's excuse for being in a foul mood at the graduation ceremony her own government arranged and produced: "The stage was overcrowded with decorations. She suggested it was a safety hazard."READ MARTY GOLD'S COLUMNS IN THE WINNIPEG SUN EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY27.45- Marty Gold provides a history lesson on other occasions Nahanni Fontaine reached into her back pocket to play the "I don't feel safe card' when challenged on her job performance and crass behavior. Two election town halls in 2016 established the pattern of the Mean Girl of the NDP making up excuses instead of taking responsibility. The first event was populated by polite and docile Babas and Zaidas, and her claim she felt unsafe was mocked by the moderator. The second event was at a community centre after she admitted she never once spoke to NDP Premier Greg Selinger about CFS scooping aboriginal children in her North End constituency. Marty was at both town halls and recounts the absurd scenes Fontaine started. The pattern continues. Instead of heeding his own responsibility to the public, Kinew thinks this Fontaine fire will blow itself out. WFP: "Asked about Fontaine's explanation for her comments, Kinew said it's important for him to make any situation “that's not a win” a learning opportunity."Which has nothing to do with accountability.Nothing.Someone tell Wab Kinew that.*****Wab Kinew says he's in Nahanni Fontaine's corner.

We're excited to have Kalisan curating another month of episodes for us, and to kick things off this time is DJ of Balloons in Bold. He is a fine artist who uses balloons as his medium, so it was cool to get yet another take on balloons as a form of art! He had worked as a balloon twister before turning to fine art as a form of emotional expression. Little did he know how much it would take off and get noticed in the way it did. Before he knew it he was the feature of a gallery show and by using a medium that is usually associated with fun and joy to display darker imagery, it really grabbed people's attention.  We'll hear about his strategy for making the balloons last during gallery prep and throughout the show, including how he found a way to put balloon dogs into a pattern and what products he used. DJ also shares more about what influences his art and describes several of his show exhibits. I appreciated him being willing to share his story!

If you've ever forgotten about a job, left your U-Haul door open when driving or gotten robbed at an installation… you're going to relate to what Rachel shares in this episode! She and I talk about some of our worst installations to date and, more importantly, how we handled them and kept moving forward. Even though the topic feels negative, Rachel and I couldn't help but laugh our way through this episode as we commiserate in things that only balloon professionals would understand.  Before we dive into the hilarity, Rachel offers some tips for those managing their full-time jobs alongside their balloon business, including customer management, time management, boundaries and product offerings. Then we get into it. Hear about her forgotten job and the absolute scramble to make it happen… tons of broken bases on her first 5-digit job… balloon bags flying across the highway… and stolen bags with hundreds of dollars of equipment inside.  I chime in with my related stories, too, and we wrap up by sharing some final thoughts about how to turn crazy things like these into learning opportunities. I'm so grateful to Rachel for being willing to come on the show to talk about the kinds of mistakes that we all make… or almost certainly will make. In the UGlu Hotline, hear about one of my favorite inventory tips to date!   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  @evansvilleballooncompany  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Gemar USA  Stay Booked  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline!

Nick kicks things off with Jack Godfrey, the creative force behind 42 Balloons—a musical inspired by the true story of Larry Walters, the guy who floated into the sky strapped to weather balloons. Now playing at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the show has been drawing buzz, and Jack shares how this wild tale took shape on stage. Then Monica Eng from Axios Chicago swings by with her usual eclectic mix of stories. From citywide protests to the red carpet at the James Beard Awards, she's been everywhere lately—even on those weird three-hour cruises where fans can awkwardly corner celebs. She also dishes on her latest run-ins riding the Red Line and weighs in on Jim's new take on the Chicken Polish. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to unpack summer's greatest discomforts. They cover the mysterious vanishing of windshield sunshades, patio furniture that brands your thighs, and the persistent agony of a hot butt. It's a warm-weather rant session, complete with laughs and just a hint of sweat. [EP 358]

In this episode I'm learning from Tracy of Joyful Party Co. (formerly From Me 2 You Creations) about what it's like to rebrand after being in business for almost 20 years. She shares with us everything that was involved in the process, including the financial impact it had. Learn about the services her original business started with, how her initial run with balloons was stopped short, how eventually her balloon business was propelled forward and how many aspects are now part of Joyful Party Co.   Then we dig into the specifics of the rebrand. We'll hear about what compelled her to go through the process, how it was stalled and how eventually she knew she had to do it. She also shares an awesome AI prompt that helped her fully develop Joyful Party Co. Tracy goes on to mention how the rebrand impacted her banking, taxes, website and domains, social media, physical assets like shirts and signs, logins with distributors, etc… and how it was all worth it in the end. And in the UGlu Hotline, hear one listener's tip on what they wish they would have known earlier.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Ep. 207 - Family business and rebranding | Delloons @joyfulparty.co  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Gemar USA  Stay Booked  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline!
