Join host Matt Sprague and Evan Hill as they sit down with Karalynn Cromeens, Owner & Managing Partner at The Cromeens Law Firm. Karalynn has worked with a lot of contractors who found out after the fact that they should have hired a lawyer from the start. Karalynn wants to protect you and your business from legal jargon and legal action so you can focus on the building and creating. She also has a few ideas on what to expect from the massive United States Infrastructure Bill and how to make sure you get paid.

Working as a contractor can come with some stigma. There are all sorts of rumors about construction workers that homeowners perpetuate, and even more niche gossip from trade to trade. Karalynn sits down with Jana Earley, owner and head designer of Luxe Fine Finishes, to talk about how to make the sale despite the biases your potential client may have. In Jana's line of work, a history of tacky 70s- 80s-era plastered walls follows her around. People often worry work of her kind will look too outdated, or simply not sophisticated, which couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode, she talks to Karalynn about how her mindset and business practices help her rise above the rumor mill and connect with clients to make the sale, and how the work she is doing to destigmatize bot faux finishing and contractors will ultimately help her trade, and all trades, continue on!

In this episode, we find out about the region's only agency providing animal actors and models to the UAE's film and media industry.  We also talk about Karalynn's latest passion, Reading Dogs. Stay tuned to find out more. Quotes"Reading Dogs, is a concept where we take specially trained dogs, send them to schools, nurseries, and private venues to help children improve their literacy and reading confidence. So the dogs come in, they don't read. The children read to them and it makes reading fun and practicing language and literacy much more fun than if they were doing it by themselves.""Dogs teach children a lot. They teach them responsibility, leadership. They can teach them empathy, how to care and also how to cope with love."Having a dog around really becomes not only a child's friend but also a teacher as well and there's a lot to gain from that.It really does take a special dog to be a reading dog. They have to be extremely calm, enjoy interaction, and be comfortable in a new environment.One of the most important things is making sure that the parents understand the part of the session. A part of what we're doing is teaching children how to safely interact with dogs. We are keeping them safe not only around our dogs but any dogs that they might come acrossUseful LinksWebsite: https://www.animalagencyuae.com/ https://www.readingdogsuae.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/notifications/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/animalagencyuae/ https://www.instagram.com/readingdogsuae/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/animalagencyuae  https://www.facebook.com/readingdogsuae/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvP_41S9PAxDIAw7cMVTMZg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK76Ld6SE6AYT4LrL7TNN1Q Twitter: https://twitter.com/animalagencyuae https://twitter.com/readingdogsuae
