On today's episode of Play It Brave, I'm joined by my dear friend, the incredible creative and leader, Carrie Moe. Carrie is someone I deeply admire—not only because of her talent (she's styled for brands like Ritz-Carlton, Fujifilm, and Berta Bridal, and been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, and Brides), but because of the way she approaches her work with confidence, creativity, and so much integrity. We dive into: ✨ Why collaboration is more powerful than competition in the creative industry. ✨ The myth of “falling behind” and how to release the pressure to keep up. ✨ What it means to value your time and treat yourself as a luxury brand. ✨ The importance of community, networking, and in-person connection for growing your career. ✨ How saying no to misaligned opportunities can open the door to bigger, more aligned “yeses.” We also talk about the Hybrid Collective Conference, which is coming to Charleston in 2026. Hybrid has been one of my favorite places to teach, learn, and connect since 2017, and Carrie shares so beautifully about why it continues to be such a transformative space for photographers and creatives. This conversation is a reminder that your artistry is yours alone. The way you see, create, and bring beauty into the world cannot be replicated—and that's exactly what makes it valuable. About the Hybrid Collective Dreamers, Innovators, Goal Getters...Hybrid was established in 2017 by four industry leaders who saw the need for education and connections within the film photography space. Hybrid continues as a women owned company with a team who seeks to change the world by empowering, encouraging, and connecting with YOU.

Today we are going to talk about the value of the subjective, the emotional component that is critical to the success of every creative business. It is knowing the difference between drawing birds and clouds and when you might share each. It is also knowing that the language of emotional and its return dwarfs anything rational. In the end, what it means is that you have to stop playing the game you are not very good at and start (or only) play the one you are.

100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World (Indiana UP, 2024), is the result of a collaboration between two sociologists, Professor Shulamit Reinharz and Dr. Barbara Vinick. Both come from backgrounds deeply intertwined with Jewish history and feminism. Prof. Reinharz, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, became a rabbi's daughter after her father settled in the US. Her work often explores topics of Jewish tradition and women's roles. Dr. Vinick, also a sociologist, initially focused on gerontology but later collaborated with Reinharz on projects exploring Jewish women's experiences worldwide, she hopes this this book can be a respite from the troubles of the world. The book aims to reveal the diversity and depth of traditional and emerging Jewish communities globally, that many readers might not have considered. The editors collected stories from 83 countries on six continents. Each story is either written as a mini-biography or memoir, sometimes by the brides themselves. They made a conscious effort not to reject any stories, regardless of whether they depicted positive or negative experiences. The collection thus includes stories touching on forced marriages, abusive relationships, divorces, and difficult situations. The book is structured to highlight memorable and unique aspects of weddings, such as courtship traditions, betrothal ceremonies, conversions, and customs during wartime. There is a special focus on diversity, including emerging Jewish communities across Africa and Latin America. Among the highlighted stories is a mail-order bride in Mexico who, upon arrival, refused to return home despite not matching her suitor's expectations, eventually resulting in decades of marriage—a testament to the unpredictability and resilience found in these stories. Daisy Aboudi's family in Sudan, a now-extinct Jewish community which found marital partners across the Egyptian border, reveals how Jewish life adapts and persists. The anthology covers weddings within various strands of Judaism, including a Chabad wedding in Thailand. The betrothal chapter explores customs whose significance has changed over time, including elaborate engagement ceremonies in places like Burma, Nicaragua, and India, where traditions include henna, turmeric, prayers, and communal exchanges. Ariela Tischler's story from Switzerland serves as a link between family heritage and Jewish law. Descended from Rabbi Moshe Isserlis, who decreed it permissible to marry on Lag BaOmer, Ariela and her husband wed on that day, echoing the family tradition established by her grandparents. Personal favorites among the editors' stories include Dr. Vinick's account of attending a group wedding in Madagascar following the conversion of local community members, demonstrating the intersection of ritual, adaptation, and communal joy. Professor Reinharz selected a contemporary Israeli bride, Yael Yafielli, whose feminist and renewal-minded approach prompted her to design a wedding ceremony more aligned with her beliefs and those of her secular partner, rather than conform to the Orthodox rabbinate's expectations. They hope to honor both those who have sustained Judaism in isolated regions and those rebuilding it anew, while also foregrounding Jewish women's voices and experiences. Ultimately, the project is a celebration of Jewish diversity, women's voices, continuity, and ongoing change. Learn more about your ad choices.

We all grew up and are taught the value of a factory. Efficiency. Low cost. Scale. And you have tried to force your creative business into the paradigm. You measure volume of work, hours, effort, not ideas, emotional intelligence or really anything reflecting the value of relationship. Your creative business is not a factory so stop acting like it is.

We must be ready and understand that not much time remians.

One of our co-workers just got back from a destination wedding in Hawaii. She wasn’t even in the bridal party but the total cost to her was still over $4k. We tried to tell her she needs to find new friends. The thing is, she isn’t alone. When you hear what weddings are costing nowadays, you might think twice before saying I do. Or, at the very least, you might just want to consider dwarf Elvis officiating in Vegas instead of the whole to-do.

In this episode, I sit down with Charla Storey, an entrepreneur balancing multiple businesses, motherhood, and self-care. We dive into the raw, unresolved parts of leadership, discussing how to navigate uncertainty and redefine success. If something in this conversation resonates with you, stick around. At the end of the show, I'll share how you can join our monthly leadership training.Guest IntroductionCharla Storey is the CEO and founder of Charla Storey Photography, a luxury wedding photography team recognized among the top 50 photographers worldwide by Brides, Martha Stewart Weddings, and Over the Moon. As a wife and mother, she's built a global photography business over 13 years, traveling to capture celebrations worldwide while creating "effortlessly editorial photos that will still look damn good in 50 years."What started as a single mom building a career has evolved into a dual-purpose mission. As co-owner and CEO of Develope Academy, Charla channels her passion for mentoring into comprehensive education for photographers. She helps fellow creatives develop both their technical skills and business acumen through practical, no-nonsense courses and a supportive community—proving you can scale expertise while staying grounded in authenticity.Charla's work has been featured in Vogue, The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, and Good Morning America. But what she's most proud of? Helping photographers and couples alike feel confident, valued, and heard—whether she's behind the camera or in front of the microphone.Key TakeawaysBalancing Multiple Roles: It's not about perfection; it's about navigating the tension of juggling business and motherhood without turning yourself into the villain.Redefining Success: Success markers from the past may cloud your ability to see what a win looks like today.Living in Uncertainty: Real leadership involves living in uncertainty and redefining growth when things aren't progressing as expected.Changing Connection in Business: The traditional ways of launching and marketing don't hit the same anymore; connecting in new ways is essential for business growth.Action Over Certainty: You can't chase certainty — you need to build momentum through action in the present moment to scale your business.The Business That Needs You: Sometimes, the business that needs your attention the most isn't the one you want the most, and understanding this tension is key to prioritizing effectively.Perception vs. Reality: Leaders must check how they're showing up in the world — perception rarely matches reality, and managing this discrepancy is crucial for long-term success.Themes We ExploredBalancing RolesRunning multiple businesses while raising toddlers and managing an adult child.The mental loops of feeling like a good parent but struggling as a CEO — or vice versa.Finding peace in knowing that sometimes less growth creates more space for life, which is essential for maintaining sustainable business growth.Redefining SuccessSuccess can't be solely tied to past benchmarks.The difference between chasing certainty and accepting hopeful action when scaling a business.Writing down today's wins as a reminder that they count — especially when success is more about progress than perfection.The Reality of Multiple BusinessesThe tug-of-war between businesses, where one often drains attention from another, is common when managing more than one venture.The insight that sometimes your “end game” and your “favorite game” aren't the same, and recognizing this can help you make more strategic business decisions.Key Quotes“When all of them are struggling, it's really hard not to look in the mirror and think — well, they have something in common. I wonder what that is.” — Charla Storey“Sometimes how it feels feels true, even when it isn't.” — Charla Storey“Success right now is peace. It's the certainty that my effort is building the long game.” — Charla Storey“Certainty is not always possible — belief plus doubt plus action equals results.” — Rocky Garza“You can hydrate to survive, not to perpetually hold more water.” — Rocky GarzaResources MentionedCharla's websites: www.charlastorey.com and www.developeacademy.com Charla's social media handles: @charlastorey and @developeacademyJoin my upcoming LIVE Leadership Training: rockygarza.com/confidence To join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Just like governments do not run like businesses, so too does creative businesses not look like other businesses. All too often what would be expected in business, is not true for creative business — say the customer is always right, being hungry and scrappy always works and, of course, price matters above all else.

Dean and Alison are just a day away from the Little House on the Prairie Cast Reunion at Columbia State Historic Park—but there's still plenty of time to recap one of the funniest episodes in Little House history!This week, we dig into “Here Come the Brides” (Season 4), where we come to a shocking realization: almost every Little House wedding is a surprise wedding. Seriously—BOOM. No invitations. No planning. Just, “Surprise! You're hitched!”This episode has it all: Nellie in full teenage heat (seriously, someone hand her a fan), Mrs. Oleson attempting homicide, and little Willy not giving even half a hoot. Pig farming somehow becomes sexy, Miss Beadle (the fabulous Charlotte Stewart) becomes a Mrs., and Nellie is crowned the Pig Queen of Minnesota…for approximately ten minutes.Alison shares some epic behind-the-scenes stories—how Jonathan Gilbert came up with that pratfall, what it was like working with “Luke,” and the sneaky way Charlotte helped cast her future husband in the show. She also reflects (with just a tiny bit of cringing) on just how, uh… aggressively enthusiastic Nellie was in this one. It's pure comedy gold.And of course—join us on Patreon, where Alison spills even more tea about this episode. Trust us, it's worth it.Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Learn how warp storms cut entire sectors adrift, why whole planets were tithed into ash for golden cathedrals, and how Vandire's tyrannical rule ended with a bolt round delivered by the newly‑forged Daughters of the Emperor—soon to become the Adeptus Sororitas.We'll trace the reforms of Saint Sebastian Thor, the dissolution of the Frateris Templar, the Assassinorum's secret “War of Vindication,” and the lasting impact this era still has on 41st‑millennium politics, faith and warfare.———TAGSAge of Apostasy,Reign of Blood,Goge Vandire,High Lord Vandire,Administratum power coup,Ecclesiarchy civil war,Frateris Templar,Brides of the Emperor,Daughters of the Emperor,Adeptus Sororitas,Sisters of Battle origin,Saint Sebastian Thor,Confederation of Light,Ophelia VII palaces,Frateris Templar purges,Imperial Creed schism,Vandire child tithe,Vandire palace siege,Golden Throne faith,Imperial Palace decay,Custodes intervention,War of Vindication,Assassinorum civil war,Temple Vindicare,Temple Callidus,Temple Culexus,Temple Eversor,Assassinorum oversight,Thorian movement,Thor cult,Space Pope analog,Church of the Emperor,Ministorum history,Imperial tithe increase,Ecclesiarch mobility decree,Ophelian cathedrals,Earth return Exodus,Imperial bureaucracy collapse,Imperial civil strife,Imperial warp storms,Plague of Unbelief,False prophets 40k,Vandire heresy,Ecclesiarch politics,40k political intrigue,Imperial religion corruption,Warhammer 40k lore,Warhammer history,Imperium timeline,Imperial cult lore,Sisters of Battle lore,Administratum lore,Ecclesiarchy lore,Age of Apostasy explained,Goge Vandire explained,Saint Thor explained,Reign of Blood explained,Frateris Templar explained,Imperial faith wars,Custodian Guard lore,Black Templars rebellion,Mechanicus intervention,Ophelian cathedrals size,Imperial monuments,Imperial treasury drain,Imperial Senate fall,Imperial High Lords purge,Imperial power vacuum,Imperial propaganda,Imperial schism wars,Imperial civil war history,Ecclesiarch powers stripped,Ministorum reformation,Thor reforms,Ecclesiarchy military ban,Decree Passive,Sororitas Founding,Battle Sisters founding,Power and faith 40k,Vandire madness,Imperial fanaticism,40k corruption,40k politics,40k theology,grimdark history,Warhammer universe,WH40K deep dive,lore video,40k lore channel,tabletop lore,Warhammer storytelling,emperor of mankind religion,Imperium backstory,Imperial icons,Imperial cult dangers,civil unrest 40k,galactic tyranny,Vandire executions,burning worlds 40k,Imperial saints,Sororitas miracles,faith and fire 40k,grimdark theology,Vandire downfall,Ecclesiarch downfall,Sebastian Thor sermons,corpse emperor worship,Imperial reformation,Imperial relics,Ophelia VII wealth,church vs state 40k,40k faction history,Warhammer narrative,Age of Apostasy timeline,Ministorum archives————————————Opinions expressed in this video are solely those of Isyander & Koda and in no way reflect the views or opinions of Games Workshop Ltd.Support the show
