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! This conversation was such a good reminder and refresher for me to stay the course, and I hope it'll inspire you just as much! And in the UGlu Hotline, hear about how one listener hides her binder clips and clamps.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: HiFloat  popofcoloraz.com | @popofcoloraz  Ep. 123 - Double-stuffing, revisited | Elizabeth of Pop of Color Strike Squad Lagenda Electric Balloon Inflator  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 this episode of Havin' A Wonderful Time, Paranoid sits down with the legendary Dad_Terps—a beloved growmie known for his humor, big heart, and unforgettable take on skin fold terps. They talk about everything from Paranoid's wild weekend at a Tennessee field party to the smoke-filled memories of HashBash 2025. Dad_Terps shares wisdom from his garden, tips for new growers, and his favorite cultivars and tools—all with the love and laughter he's known for.Dad_Terps On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dad_terpsParanoid Grower On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paranoid_grower/Grateful NerdMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gratefulnerdAll Of Our Links: https://linktr.ee/gratefulnerd

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!

This week on Havin' A Wonderful Time, Paranoid is joined by a beloved growmie and community bright spot—Cheese! As Avery Aames once said, “Life is great, but Cheese makes it better,” and that couldn't be more true for this episode.We take a trip down memory lane with stories from Hash Bash 2025—hotbox meetups, scavenger hunts, Bongs and Thongs, meeting legends like OutKast, 417Grows, and even spotting Tommy Chong at the Diag. From the fire cider to the final smoke circle at IHOP, this was a Hash Bash to remember.Cheese also gives us a peek into his garden setup—salts or organics, his favorite equipment, local grow shops, and of course, his journey into cannabis cultivation. We talk autoflowers vs. photoperiods, favorite strains, rookie mistakes, and what keeps him growing even through hard times. Plus, Cheese drops real wisdom for new growers looking to start their first garden.Cheese On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecheeses_Paranoid Grower On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paranoid_grower/Grateful NerdMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/gratefulnerdAll Of Our Links: https://linktr.ee/gratefulnerd

I LOVED this interview with returning guest Courtney! We're talking about pricing transparency and all of the objections and fears that might come with. But that's not all… we're also talking about website design, customer behavior and more. It was such a good interview with a bunch of nuggets like: Ways to pre-qualify your leads Why brand shoots matter If e-commerce really works for our industry Planning for a website build How many pages you really need How FAQ sections help The conversation boosted my confidence in some of the ways I operate and I hope it does for you, too!

The 2026 engine rules are set — but Red Bull's making noise, and Mercedes isn't budging.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe tension is rising between Christian Horner and Toto Wolff as the battle over Formula 1's 2026 engine regulations hits a boiling point. With Red Bull pushing for changes to battery-engine output ratios and Mercedes determined to keep the 2026 rules unchanged, the political power play is in full swing. This video breaks down the heated debate, the behind-the-scenes strategies, and the real reason Red Bull might be pushing so hard for a rules rethink — is it about protecting the sport, or masking potential power unit problems with Ford?From Ferrari's strategic silence to Audi and Honda backing the current plans, and Mercedes gaining major leverage through its three customer teams such as McLaren and Williams and Alpine next year replacing Aston Martin, this saga is a masterclass in F1 politics. If you've ever wondered how much influence team bosses really have, or how far they'll go to protect their interests, this is the must-watch analysis. Plus, we take a closer look at whether Red Bull's new power unit project is genuinely at risk — and what it could mean for Max Verstappen's future. #f1 #redbullracing #mercedesf1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #f12026 #christianhorner #totowolff #mercedesamg #f1news #f1latest #f1updates #f1rumors #f1drama Red Bull DEMANDS rule change - Mercedes ain't havin' it!https://youtu.be/Pr4nQkDOMZI

On this episode of Havin' A Wonderful Time, Paranoid interviews the great OutKast Genetics. This isn't just a sesh—it's a deep dive into the mind of a breeder. OutKast breaks down his garden setup, breeding philosophy, and the difference between real-deal breeders and pollen chuckers. He shares insights on pest resistance, cultivation gear, and how to spot a strain with true medicine. Let's not forget the venture into the mythical HAWT Seat.

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!

In another curated episode by Kalisan, we get to meet Katy of Bloom Inflatables. She takes us through some of the things that previously led her to burnout and what she's doing now to stay ahead of it. But before we get into all of that, you'll hear how an impulse purchase of a bounce house quickly turned into strategy and profitability for her company. She also walks us through the transition away from that bounce house and into balloon decor, partially in thanks to the Kalisan balloons she was introduced to. Then when we move on to chat about the main topic, you'll hear us discuss things like: Setting boundaries for ourselves during different seasons of life Understanding social media influence versus local brand awareness Giving your business a reset How a business can be built entirely on grab and go options with the right processes Factors that we weigh before saying yes to a job I found a lot of experiences in common with Katy and I'm betting you likely will, too.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip about a trusted Amazon balloon vendor.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: Kalisan https://www.kalisan.com.tr/ @bloominflatables  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!

Kicking off this curated month by Kalisan is an interview with Kirstin of Create and Cherish Events / Kalisan! I met Kirstin quite a while ago at a Big Balloon Build, so it was so nice to have this opportunity to reconnect with her and hear about how she's still running her own decor business while supporting the folks at Kalisan as well. We'll hear how her business scaled and dialed back, as well as how she grew into her role at Kalisan. I asked about her thought process as she considered what the new role would mean for her decorating business, too, and she shared how Kalisan was always supportive of her keeping her own business while working with them.  Then we dig into why artists should consider Kalisan. Multiple times in the interview, Kirstin mentions her favorite thing about their balloons, but we'll also hear more of her thoughts on the different sizes, their shipping practices and colors / prints.  Then in the UGlu Hotline, we'll hear a tip for getting foils to stick to one another.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: Kalisan  @createandcherishevents  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!

In this final curated episode by Bri of Elevated Impressions / BWise Consulting, I'm so honored to host her as she announces the launch of her new small business product! I know I'll be using it for my business and I hope you'll consider doing the same. We get straight to it and hear about why she's developed her new product, plus more about her background that has been ingrained within it. It's centered around very tough situations, so as hard as it is to talk about, I'm so happy that she's making something like this available to us.  You're going to hear how she's thought of everything, too. If you've discovered some gaps within your business along the way, she's got more resources readily available and in the works for you.

In another curated episode by Bri of Elevated Impressions / Be Wise Consulting, we are talking about teamwork and friendship! Let's face it, sometimes we can get lonely, frustrated and feel isolated in this industry, so these two guests came on to share how they've created a support system in one another and how their different personalities prove that opposites really do attract. We'll hear where they met and how their friendship developed, then Bri shares how Jenny was the first person she went to for advice when she got her initial opportunity to teach. We chat about teaching a lot, in fact, and how well they teach together despite their strong relationships with different manufacturers.  Then, before we hear about the list of events these brilliant women are teaching at, Bri, Jenny and I also talk about what types of jobs need extra support from your balloon friends and what those dynamics should and should not include. Lastly, don't miss the hint they drop at the end about a very special project that they're working on together to benefit our industry!

I love any time a manufacturer comes on the show to share some insight into what they have planned to help our industry! This episode was recorded live at Fulcrum 2025, and we hear about the new products, new people and new things happening with Anagram! My ears definitely perked up when they mentioned the number of new foil designs and new formats they have coming for us this year… but we'll also get to hear more about their launch into latex. Learn about what “better together” means for them; how many latex colors are on the way; how they perform with helium, Hi-Float and Hi-Shine; and the size range. Then we wrap up by talking about the kinds of opportunities balloon decorators have with the closing of Party City.  Anagram is investing in everything from innovation, to engineering, to industry education and their confidence in their quality is well deserved. And in the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for getting yourself some video content for social media.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Anagram  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!

I knew nothing about business credit before this interview, so if you're in the same boat - listen in on how you can essentially grow your business using other people's money! Sheila and I also talk about retail, multiple locations, growth, advertising classic decor and so much more. I've met Sheila at Balloon Boss Summit but haven't been able to attend any of her sessions so I was thrilled to finally have her on the podcast. Hear about how she was inspired to start her business, how quickly it expanded and some of the things that she and The Balloon Squad are exploring now after so much growth.  Then she practically knocks my socks off when she shares how her balloon subscription program works! We wrap up by talking about the business credit and you'll hear why she considers it “good debt”, the cute story that introduced her to the idea, how utilizing business credit is a part of her everyday life and what it's allowed her to introduce at her Columbia, SC, headquarters…  The Business Bestie Retreat!

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about how everyone seems to be having fun since President Trump's inauguration 23 days ago. The republicans are optimistic for the future, the democrats finally get to rant and rave against President Trump again, all seems right in the world. Sure, the leftists are acting mad on their tv shows and virtue signaling social media posts, but we all know they love it. Defending what was referred to as our president for the last four years was very difficult and they weren't good at it, now they get to make up narratives about a rock star administration that is on the war path against permanent Washington. Left, right, and center, everyone is enjoying this, wars are ending, wasteful spending is getting exposed, and America is on it's way to being great once again. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our final curated interview from TUFTEX, I made a new friend in Angharad (AKA Annie) of Angharad's Party Art in the UK. I loved hearing about the similarities and differences we experience across the world!  She tells us how when she started her business, she faced a very familiar issue that we do in the states - childcare. She continues to adapt her business based on her family needs today, too, and I really appreciated her openness on this topic.  After that, we hear about her unique style, plus new types of events and trends she's seeing… and what's coming back into style! Then of course we chat about her time at the TUFTEX Experience in 2024, and how she'll be a part of it again this year. What a fun conversation this was, and I'm so happy to have made a new friend.

In another episode curated by TUFTEX, I'm chatting with Dolly & Eddie of Delloons again! Since our last conversation with them, they've had another baby and moved into a boutique retail space… so needless to say, there's a lot to catch up on and I appreciated their honesty and openness. And don't miss a bit of behind the scenes info from them about the TUFTEX Experience! We talk about why they decided to move into the boutique, how it happened so quickly and what financial impacts they considered in the process. I always have a ton of questions about retail, so I also ask about taking payments, walk-in traffic and what exactly they plan to sell there. They gave us the scoop on those things, but also insurance, utilities and profit margins. Then we dive into what it's like to be a part of the TUFTEX Color Crew, and hear more about how they'll be involved in the TUFTEX Experience this year. It was another fun conversation with these two!

Kicking off this curated month by TUFTEX, I'm chatting once again with Allison, the owner of TUFTEX! She's giving us a ton of behind the scenes info on their new products, plus where and how they've expanded since she last came on the podcast. First, I asked her to walk us through their acquisition of a balloon factory in Canada. I really appreciated her honesty about the learning curve that was involved, and it was fascinating to hear how the acquisition required not just latex recipe updates, but process updates more than anything. She'll also tell us how the changes have impacted their marketing strategy and how she hopes will impact their reach. Then, I was so thrilled that Allison spilled the beans about some items we can expect soon: TUFTEX Effects and Links! Plus, she drops info on TUFTEX Tuesdays, Hip Hopping in Houston in March and of course the TUFTEX Experience in July! I learned a ton and am very excited about what I heard in this conversation… I'm guessing you will be, too!  Then in the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for using water weights.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Presenting sponsor: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Curated Month by: TUFTEX | Events Related Episode: 164 - Making an impact with color | Allison of Tuftex  Other sponsors & resources: Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% with code BRIGHT) Balloon Suite  2025 Bright Balloon Business Planner  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% at Havin' A Party with code BRIGHT)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!

Since recording this episode, I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Tiffany at Balloon Boss Summit and seeing her LED Marquees in action. Wow, are they cool! Listen in as we chat about this very neat option you may consider adding to your inventory. Tiffany tells us how her marquees were designed to give a different vibe than the traditional incandescent marquees, as she looked to stand out in “Neon Nashville”.

You'll also hear about how she's operating her own service-based business with these marquees, which makes it easy for her to understand our needs.  Then she tells us about the licensing model they chose over franchising and wholesaling, because they wanted their marquees to be a symbol of quality service.

Sue was one of the first people in the balloon industry that I learned from online when I started. In fact, I would bet that you've come across some of her content, too!

This episode is perhaps one of my favorite interviews of the year! I chat with Yanira of Perfectly Wrapped Balloons about how having systems and good record keeping for your company really helps in case of a sale or big transition. Yanira moved her business into a new area, several states away from her previous home and walks us through how she negotiated the sale of her client list and essentially restarted her business. What I didn't expect to hear was all of the businesses she had even before moving Perfectly Wrapped Balloons! Hear about all of the things she's done, the cities she's worked in, some hiccups she's experienced and how she found her way in the balloon industry.  I also ask her to share about How her family transformed their garage into a studio What her sales were like before moving her company  What contributed most to her sales Why it was an easy decision to move What they looked for in a property when moving Then we dive into the sale of her business and it was fascinating! Hear about the terms that were set, whether she worked with a lawyer, what kind of person she wanted to sell to and of course, how her organized systems made a huge difference to the sale. She also shares what her first steps were after the move and how she started networking again. And now, she feels like she's beginning to earn referrals at the same pace she did before moving. Huge congrats to Yanira for this accomplishment! She shared so many insightful things about this process.  And in the UGlu Hotline, I answer a question about what it's like having to transition out of Qualatex colors.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Balloon Suite  Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% with code BRIGHT)  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% at Havin' A Party with code BRIGHT)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!

In this second curated episode by Let Nicole Help, we're hearing from Emily of 17hats who is in charge of all things Marketplace. If you're not familiar, it's a place where 17hats users can buy and try all sorts of templates for their account!  Emily tells us more about the kinds of templates available and how they can help both new and long-time users. We go on to talk more about the very specific balloon-related templates ready for purchase, how installation of the templates actually works and how templates and template sellers are vetted.  I even found myself making a list of items that I wanted to search for while Emily and I were talking! Then lastly, I also loved hearing that nearly every 17hats employee is (or was) a small business owner themselves. I think it speaks a lot to their insight on our needs. I'm excited to hear how this Marketplace is just the start of what they have planned because I have a lot of respect for 17hats' dedication to small business owners.    And in the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip for reusing latex balloons!   RESOURCES MENTIONED: 17hats (get 50% off your 1st year)  Balloon Suite  Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% with code BRIGHT)  UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% at Havin' A Party with code BRIGHT)  Call into the UGlu Hotline to ask a question or leave advice!
