#567 Allie Siarto is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan, and host of the Photo Field Notes podcast. The episode is a deep dive into the importance of creating a world-class experience for portrait clients, a factor Allie emphasizes as crucial for building client loyalty and generating referrals in the photography business. Through engaging stories and clear advice, Allie illustrates how exceptional service, thoughtful preparation, and emotional connections often outweigh technical perfection in client satisfaction.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of Client Experience Over Technical Perfection - Allie explains that while technical skill is important, the client's emotional experience during the shoot has a greater impact on their satisfaction. Providing guidance, being prepared, and making clients comfortable often leads to higher perceived value and greater word-of-mouth referrals.Practical Steps for Improving Client Experience - Major points include communicating proactively (e.g., style guides, prep emails), planning for logistics (like family lists and timeline management), dressing professionally, and using prompts to create genuine moments. Real-world examples such as helping clients find venues or ensuring parents feel included underscore how small efforts make a big difference.Continuous Learning and Reflection - Allie shares her own learning curve, including mistakes (like not asking parents if they wanted more photos), and details how she implements those lessons to continually improve. The importance of treating early years in business as an extension of education is highlighted, encouraging listeners to seek feedback and view setbacks as opportunities.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSClient Experience: The cumulative impressions and feelings that clients have throughout their interactions with a photographer, from initial inquiry to final image delivery. Ensuring a positive client experience can be a greater predictor of success and referrals than technical image quality alone.Unposed Posing: A posing style that uses prompts and interactive questions to evoke natural expressions and genuine emotion, rather than traditional, static posing. This approach helps even uncomfortable clients relax, leading to more authentic and memorable images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow do you currently manage the experience of your clients before, during, and after a shoot? What areas can you improve based on Allie's advice?Think about a time you had a remarkable or disappointing service experience (outside of photography). What specific factors made the difference, and how can you apply those lessons to your photography business?RESOURCES:Visit Allie Siarto's Website - http://alliesiarto.com/Follow Allie Siarto on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alliesiarto/Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

EAST LANSING, MI, March 2025 -- BIGGBY® COFFEE, the 430+ unit high-energy coffee franchise committed to helping people build lives they love while centering ethical and sustainable practices, is marking its 30th birthday with a nationwide celebration on March 26. From a single coffee shop in East Lansing, Michigan to a flourishing franchise operation across 13 states, BIGGBY® COFFEE's journey exemplifies the power of putting people first and strengthening the communities they serve. "Most businesses don't make it past five years," said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Bob Fish. "We've navigated three different economic cycles, a financial crisis and COVID. We've been nimble, perseverant and maintained our durability." The company's success has been a collective achievement "Our company thrives because of the people who power it — our team members, franchise owners, customers and vendor partners," said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Mike McFall. "We are dedicated to unlocking human potential, encouraging every individual to pursue their passions and be themselves, while ensuring our culture remains deeply rooted in care, connection, inclusion and belonging."

One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. The brand's cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with names like Teddy Bear® and Caramel Marvel®, BIGGBY® COFFEE baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customers' day and supporting them in building a life they love. The "Big 'B'" on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY® COFFEE has 430+ cafes across many states, including Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. » MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/

[Kim Bode / 8ThirtyFour Integrated Communications' spotlight, participant in SBAM's Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship] Chris Holman welcomes Lillian Werbin, CEO/Co-Owner, Elderly Instruments, East Lansing, MI. This is the fourth of five interviews in a series. There were several questions Chris wanted to find out from Lillian: About Your Business ● Welcome back Lillian, remind the Michigan business community about your business? ● What is the importance of engaging and strengthening the community along with your business? ● How have your past experiences helped you grow your company? Inaugural Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship ● How did you learn about the fellowship? ● How did you feel when you heard you were accepted? Impact ● What are the biggest things you learned from the fellowship? ● How has being a part of the fellowship impacted you and your business? ● What would you say to women business owners who are considering applying for future cohorts? Small Business Association of Michigan Foundation Announces Inaugural Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship New Program Addresses Multiple Challenges for Second-Stage, Women-Owned Businesses LANSING, Mich. – The SBAM Foundation (SBAMF), supported by its parent organization, the Small Business Association of Michigan, has launched its Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) program and chosen 11 businesses for the first cohort. The eight-month initiative will equip these second-stage, women-owned businesses with resources to overcome diverse challenges and scale their operations. Women-owned businesses are a vital part of Michigan's economy, representing 43.2% of the state's 902,131 small businesses—higher than the national average. Detroit, in particular, was ranked as the top U.S. metropolitan area for growth in women-owned businesses. “The launch of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship is an exciting step toward ensuring that second-stage, women-owned businesses receive the targeted support they need to thrive, said Brian Calley, SBAM President & CEO. “This program will provide invaluable resources, from mentorship and business certifications to networking opportunities and access to capital, helping these entrepreneurs overcome the unique challenges they face.” Qualifying businesses have more than one employee in addition to the owner, have been in operation for at least two years, and generate a minimum of $500,000 in annual revenue. Here are the businesses that were selected for the inaugural cohort: ● Eagle Specialties, LLC ● Elderly Instruments ● Fido & Stitch ● Groovy Donuts ● Jungle Jane Promotions ● Marshall Holding ● Neuco Furniture & Upholstery ● Pioneer Machine and Technology, Inc ● The Betty Brigade ● Winsome Travel Design ● Wolverine Pickleball Recent data underscores the need for the support provided by this new program. Only 10% of women business owners report securing a small business loan, and women-owned businesses receive just 2.2% of all venture capital funding in the U.S. Operationally, 59% struggle with hiring and retaining qualified staff, while 80% face difficulties dealing with increased costs. "Women-owned businesses in Michigan confront a multitude of challenges that hinder their growth potential," said Kim Bode, Program Director. "From financial constraints to operational difficulties, our fellowship is designed to address these issues comprehensively." To address these issues, the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship offers: ● One-on-one mentorship with established business leaders ● Monthly learning sessions on critical business topics ● Networking opportunities with investors and industry leaders ● Guidance on accessing capital and growth resources ● Support in obtaining relevant business certifications ● Specialized courses on financial management, marketing, and operational efficiency

After a mostly awesome season, Michigan basketball appears to be limping into one-and-done time. The Wolverines lost their last three games of the regular season to Illinois, Maryland and Michigan State, where the story became a push from Tre Holloman in the final seconds. It's certainly not how the Wolverines wanted the season to end, but the great news is there's still plenty of time. Andrew and Tony open the show by discussing the Wolverines' really tough final week, why Michigan fans no-showed the final home game at Crisler Center and what to make of the whole floor-kiss incident in East Lansing. After a quick break, the guys talk about what the Wolverines need to do to get back on track and why the Big Ten tournament is the perfect opportunity for Michigan to turn things around.

Episode #210. Hey friends, Welcome back to a special episode. Dr. Robert C. Smith has been helping people for many years and in his upcoming book he has a lot to say about the healthcare system in America. I was so honored to speak with him about his wisdom and insights into why many doctors are not trained in how to help those with mental health challenges. We get into what the problem is and some ideas on how we can fix it.  Dr. Robert C. Smith BIO: Robert C. Smith, MD, MACP is a University Distinguished Professor and a Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry Emeritus at Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA. With many publications, awards, and strong grant support, he has been involved in teaching and research in patient-centered communication and in primary care mental health since 1985. He and his colleagues defined the first evidence-based patient-centered interview, now published in a popular interviewing textbook, Smith's Patient-Centered Interviewing: An Evidence-Based Method (4th edition, McGraw Hill, 2018). It is used in medical, nursing, and other health care schools in the USA and abroad for teaching interviewing and the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Smith's group also identified the first evidence-based method, the Mental Health Care Model, to guide primary care clinicians in managing mental health and substance use problems. Essentials of Psychiatry in Primary Care: Behavioral Health in the Medical Setting (McGraw Hill 2019)resulted and is widely used to teach primary care mental health. Dr. Smith's next book is for the public: Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? will be published by Prometheus Books in March 2025. It addresses the poor state of mental health care in the US, why it occurred, what needs to be done, and how to accomplish this politically.

Indiana delivered a stunning upset in East Lansing, defeating Michigan State 71-67 to delay Tom Izzo's bid to break Bob Knight's all-time Big Ten wins record. The Hoosiers showed impressive resilience and toughness, particularly in the second half behind Malik Reneau's 16 points after intermission. The win ended a difficult stretch for the program and demonstrated what this team is capable of when playing together for 40 minutes.Indiana's effective use of zone defense and balanced scoring helped overcome Michigan State's home court advantage, with Reneau (19 points, 12 rebounds) and Oumar Ballo (14 points, 10 rebounds) leading the way. The victory required clutch free throw shooting down the stretch, as every Hoosier who played scored and attempted at least one free throw in a true team effort.Key topics analyzed:Indiana's defensive adjustment to more zone looks proving highly effectiveMalik Reneau's dominant second half performance after coming off the benchThe Hoosiers' improved late-game execution, particularly at the free throw lineMental toughness shown bouncing back from early deficit to control middle portion of gameBetter offensive balance and ball movement leading to quality shotsCritical road win to snap recent losing streak in dramatic fashionPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.
