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!

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Balloons and Blossoms: A Birthday to Remember Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2025-05-28-22-34-02-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 봄의 향기가 가득한 날, 경치 좋은 게이티드 커뮤니티는 생기로 가득 찼다.En: On a day filled with the fragrance of spring, the scenic gated community was full of life.Ko: 앞마당에서는 아이들이 웃으며 뛰놀고, 벚꽃나무 아래에서 반짝이는 꽃잎들이 하늘하늘 떨어지고 있었다.En: In the front yard, children laughed and played, and under the cherry blossom trees, glittering petals gently floated down.Ko: 오늘은 특별한 날이었다.En: Today was a special day.Ko: 바로 민지의 아들, 수현의 생일 파티였다.En: It was the birthday party of Minji's son, Suhyun.Ko: 민지는 아침부터 분주했다.En: Minji had been busy since the morning.Ko: 테이블 세팅, 케이크 준비, 풍선 장식.En: Table setting, cake preparation, balloon decorations.Ko: 계획적으로 일을 처리하기 위해 쉴 틈 없이 움직였다.En: She moved tirelessly to handle everything methodically.Ko: 가장 친한 친구인 수진이 도와주고 있었다.En: Her best friend, Sujin, was helping her.Ko: “민지야, 이 풍선은 어디에 달까?” 수진이 물었다.En: “Minji, where should I hang these balloons?” Sujin asked.Ko: “저쪽 울타리 옆이 좋을 것 같아!” 민지가 간결하게 답하며 다른 준비에 집중했다.En: “I think next to that fence would be nice!” Minji replied succinctly and focused on her other preparations.Ko: 그러나 민지에게는 다른 걱정이 있었다.En: However, Minji had another concern.Ko: 남동생 지호가 요즘 무언가 걱정스러운 듯했다.En: Her younger brother, Jiho, seemed to be worried about something lately.Ko: 지호는 며칠 전, 민지에게 중요한 결정을 논의하고 싶다고 했지만, 생일 파티 준비 때문에 그와 제대로 이야기할 시간이 없었다.En: A few days ago, Jiho had said he wanted to discuss an important decision with her, but due to the birthday party preparations, she hadn't had the time to properly talk to him.Ko: 지호는 식탁 한 켠에 앉아 조용히 있었다.En: Jiho was sitting quietly at one corner of the table.Ko: 파티가 시작되고, 아이들은 흥겹게 뛰어놀았다.En: As the party began, the children played joyfully.Ko: 하지만 민지의 눈은 계속 지호에게로 갔다.En: Yet, Minji's eyes kept drifting towards Jiho.Ko: 그는 무기력해 보였다.En: He seemed listless.Ko: 민지는 고민에 빠졌다.En: Minji was troubled.Ko: “이 파티가 항상 완벽할 수는 없다고,” 민지는 스스로에게 속삭였다.En: “Not every party can be perfect,” she whispered to herself.Ko: 결국 민지는 결심했다.En: Finally, Minji made up her mind.Ko: “수진아, 잠시 대신 애들 봐줄 수 있어?” 민지가 부탁했다.En: “Sujin, can you watch the kids for a bit?” she asked.Ko: 수진은 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Sujin nodded.Ko: 민지는 지호에게 다가가 앉았다.En: Minji went over to Jiho and sat down.Ko: “지호야, 무슨 일이야? 나에게 말해줄 수 있어?” 민지가 부드럽게 물었다.En: “Jiho, what's going on? Can you tell me?” Minji asked gently.Ko: 지호는 잠시 침묵했지만, 결국 속마음을 털어놓았다.En: Jiho was silent for a moment but eventually opened up.Ko: “나 대학을 휴학할지 고민 중이야.”En: “I'm considering taking a leave of absence from college.”Ko: 지호의 말에 민지는 놀랐지만 곧 그의 마음을 이해했다.En: Jiho's words surprised Minji, but she quickly understood his feelings.Ko: “오빠가 결정한 걸 지지할게,” 민지가 말했다.En: “I'll support whatever decision you make,” Minji said.Ko: “하지만 언제든지 도움이 필요하면 꼭 말해줘.”En: “But please let me know if you ever need help.”Ko: 두 사람의 대화는 짧았지만 의미 있었다.En: Their conversation was brief but meaningful.Ko: 민지는 다시 파티에 집중했지만, 이제는 가족의 소중함을 더 깊이 느꼈다.En: Minji shifted her focus back to the party, feeling a deeper appreciation for her family.Ko: 그리고 오후가 지나고, 파티는 절정에 이르렀다. 케이크를 나누며 가족은 서로의 존재에 감사했다.En: As the afternoon went by and the party reached its peak, the family shared cake and expressed gratitude for each other's presence.Ko: 집으로 돌아가는 길에, 민지는 수진에게 미소 지었다.En: On the way home, Minji smiled at Sujin.Ko: “오늘은 잊지 못할 하루였어,” 수진이 말하며 박수를 쳤다.En: “Today was an unforgettable day,” Sujin said, clapping her hands.Ko: 민지는 하늘을 보며 조용히 속삭였다. “가족과 함께라면, 어떤 날이든 완벽할 수 있어.”En: Minji looked up at the sky and quietly whispered, “Any day can be perfect when you're with family.”Ko: 민지는 사랑하는 사람들과 함께하는 작은 순간들이 얼마나 소중한지를 새삼 깨달았다.En: Minji realized anew how precious the small moments with loved ones are.Ko: 상황은 변할 수 있지만, 가족은 항상 그 자리에 있었다.En: Circumstances might change, but family was always there.Ko: 그렇게 민지는 다시 힘찬 발걸음으로 걸어갔다.En: With that thought, Minji continued walking with renewed vigor.

If you struggle with standing out in a saturated market, this episode is for you! Our curated sponsor HiFloat chose Noeli of So Pretty Balloons to come on the show and talk about how she's found a way to stand out in the crowded and very talented Miami market.  Before we get into those specifics, we'll hear how she followed signals for what direction to take in her business. I find it so admirable how she's let her business be fluid around her different seasons of life!  Then, hear how distorted flowers were the first element that drew attention to her work (despite her avoidance of learning the technique initially). Now, she's known for the delicate and elegant embellishments that make So Pretty Balloons, and we'll hear what those key elements are. In the UGlu Hotline, hear how one listener earns business by interacting with other local businesses on social media.    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: HiFloat  @soprettyballoons  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Stay Booked  2025 Bright Balloon Business Planner  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!

In another curated episode by HiFloat, we have another returning guest - Elisabeth of Pop of Color Balloon Design. Her and I are kindred spirits in the way that we want to build our businesses around our lives (and not the other way around). So in this episode, we're chatting about putting limits on our businesses as well as the advantages and disadvantages that come along with. We talk about how we keep our businesses lean… including overhead expenses, vehicles and hiring help; and the freedom available to us because of those choices. We also discuss the viability of ever selling our businesses, the FOMO that creeps in and the recurring comparison trap that we're all always struggling with. Another similarity we found is that if we ever find ourselves angry about a piece of decor we have to set up… it simply means we didn't charge enough!

In another curated episode by HiFloat, we're reconnecting with Jam of Garden Place Balloons to hear how he's pivoted away from the huge, luxurious installs and into deliveries… which have become the bread and butter of his business! He's still got local balloon friends who have been and continue to be a major support for him when the big jobs do come up, but we'll hear more about this intentional adjustment he's made based on the latest demand, as well as the mindset shift he needed to go along with. Jam was kind enough to share specifics about what's working and what's not working with his new strategy - including actual product offerings, e-commerce effectiveness, pickups vs. deliveries, boundaries and what the new strategy has meant for his lifestyle.  Then of course we hear how the HiFloat products are essential to his business, too. I picked up quite a few little nuggets that I'm planning to integrate into my business after chatting with Jam and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

In our first curated episode by HiFloat, we get to hear from the COO himself, Phillip… who is also a chemist! He shares with us some tips and tricks about using HiFloat and HiShine which I definitely didn't know before having this conversation.  Learn how humidity, proper inflation size, transport bags and even 60/40 valves impact HiFloat performance. And for HiShine, Phillip has two big tips for using it properly, plus offers considerations for when to use the trigger sprayer versus the aerosol version. I also asked him to talk about the products' safety for us when we use it. Before we get into all of that, though, we'll learn more about the HiFloat story, which is really neat, as well as some of the changes that have occurred in their 40-year history… including formula changes, the addition of HiShine and external impacts like the pandemic, manufacturer bankruptcy, helium pricing and Party City closing its doors. It was a fascinating and fun conversation and I look forward to more guests hand-selected by HiFloat!     In the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for protecting any marquees you might be renting.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: HiFloat  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Stay Booked  2025 Bright Balloon Business Planner  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!

In another curated episode by Kalisan, I'm reconnecting with Darren of SoCal Balloons and (among lots of other things) learned about a very cool arrangement he's involved in with some local schools to go in and teach balloon twisting to the kids! Darren twisted his first balloon dog when he was four. You'll hear how he started his business with his sister, branched off on his own, added decor into the mix and now runs his business while also working another position and being a dad. Of course we also talk about his drive-through videos that have been popular on social media, and we have a fun little tangent about how the idea could be replicated with decor businesses. I ask him the same question that I asked Mauricio in the last episode, too, about how decorators could start to experiment with twisting and he offers some helpful resources. Then we hear more about the program in the schools, including who got him into it, how much refinement it needed before approval and what exactly the program includes. If you're in his area - know that they're looking for more twisters!  Then in the UGlu Hotline, you're going to hear a tip about participating in parades.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: Kalisan https://www.kalisan.com.tr/ socalballoonco.com | @socal.balloons  Twist & Talk with Darren from SoCal Balloons  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Courtney Lynette Creative Co 2025 Bright Balloon Business Planner  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!

Mauricio knows our industry from multiple angles, so I was really happy when Kalisan chose him as one of the guests in their curated month. In this episode, he shares with us where he found help in growing his business, how he made his pivots and more. We'll hear about his rapid growth as a twister, which included doing some jobs for celebrities in Miami. He also shares a fun story about how balloons can soften up almost anyone… and then a sad story that became part of the reason he expanded into decor. After a big life change and receiving some coaching and mentoring, Mauricio hit the ground running when fully incorporating decor. So much so that he's become a “sub-distributor”, which we'll hear all about.   Then I ask him for some advice on how decorators might dip their toes into twisting and he shares some practical tips for doing just that. This was such a fun interview with a bunch of good little tips! Over in the UGlu Hotline, we got a tip for water weight replacements!   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: Kalisan @todaysballoons | @balloons2gofw  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) Courtney Lynette Creative Co 2025 Bright Balloon Business Planner  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!
