12. Lead, Love, Excel!

Welcome to episode 17!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple PodcastsThis week I sat down with Kathy Thomas of Kathy Thomas Photography and Collective 615.I have to admit…Kathy and I do run in similar circles in our area and we have worked together a few times but we’ve never really gotten to know each other personally so I was super excited to get to spend some dedicated time asking her about her story, how she got into the wedding industry and how she took the leap from her corporate job to starting her own photography business.The reason Kathy’s story intrigued me so much and I knew I had to have her on the podcast is because not only is she a fabulous, luxury photographer but she is the owner/creator of Collective 615….a female only co-working space in the heart of Music City!I’ve been watching her social media and have asked her a few times via private DMs about this project and I have just been enamored with the concept since it’s inception. Why female only? Why a co-working space at all?? Isn’t the market already so saturated with big box co-working spaces??In this episode Kathy tells it all! How Collective got its name, their concept and why they’re different from what’s currently on the market, how she knew there was a hole in the market for this type of workspace and how a trusted advisor told her not to do it!This is a fun episode and I’m excited for you to hear it all!!Social Handles:Instagram:  @kathythomasphoto @collective615Facebook:  Kathy Thomas Photography LLC Collective615Show Notes: http://brandeegaar.com/2020/02/15/building-a-femal…ith-kathy-thomas/Website:www.shewhodarespodcast.comInstagram Join The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

9. Kill the duck

Welcome to episode 20!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple PodcastsToday I want to talk a little bit about being the new kid. Now I know some of you are probably like, “um…brandee. You’re not the new kid anymore so how do you think you can relate with those of us that are??”. But let me tell you…a true entrepreneur is never NOT the new kid ok?? The thrill for us is in the building stage…the exciting/tiring/overwhelming stage where you have a new idea, aren’t sure how to implement it or 100% sure what your end goal is but you dive in headfirst anyway giving it 1000% of your effort to be sure it succeeds. Sound familiar??In this episode, I thought it might be fun to share a few tried and true lessons I’ve learned over the last 13 years to help shake the newbie dust off of your feet just a bit faster. After all, the purpose of this podcast is to peel back the curtain on not just my brands but of other successful entrepreneurs as well to share our startup stories so that it becomes real and so you can hear that you’re not alone when it comes to the hard part of being an entrepreneur!! No matter how bright and shiny Instagram says we are….we all have a story that lives behind the scenes!Want to hear some of my tips and newbie horror stories??

15. How They're Making a Smaller "Mark"

Welcome to episode 11!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple PodcastsMy guest today is Corrine Heck of Details Flowers Software.  I have worked with Corrine for almost 10 years and when I thought who I wanted to kick off 2020 with, I knew it had to be her!When Corrine and I worked together, she was an event florist and I remember that she would always tell me about a system she used to design and price her proposals.  Back then it was all done in excel but over the last 5 years, Corrine has developed her system into a fully functioning floral planning and design software serving over 500 florists internationally!  Today she shares how she recognized a pain point in her industry, created a solution and created what we know today to be one of the fastest-growing floral software brands.  When we recorded this episode, it was exactly 1 month after Corrine had undergone major brain surgery to remove a tumor doctors had found in her head after a Summer of sporadic medical issues.  Corrine believes (and I totally agree) that she is a living miracle after this surgery and that God has given her a special task of sharing her story to encourage others.  I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I do!  SHOW NOTESINSTAGRAMJoin The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

10. Meet the Blush team 

Welcome to episode 13!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!  Apple Podcasts UPDATE: This episode was recorded the year before the passing of my good friend, Rebekkah Rosado after a long battle with cancer and GvHD. If you didn't know Rebekkah, she was such a bright light that radiated joy wherever she went!! She was a wedding planner, a floral fairy and a vintage styling goddess! She was a fierce boss lady who knew how to command a room and make you feel like you were the only one in it all in the same moment. She inspired everyone around her to feel empowered, bold, excited and eager. I shared with Rebekkah many times how much in awe of her I was as I watched her come into the Orlando wedding market like a fireball and make her presence forever known with her huge smile and even bigger hugs. I was honored to have had a chance to spend an afternoon with Rebekkah in December of 2019 to chat about her business, her battle with cancer and how the preparation for her fight against this disease made Runway Events even stronger. So while I am not sure the best way to pay an adequate tribute to this beautiful soul, I am 100% positive that listening to this episode with my friend Rebekkah Joy Rosado will inspire you to live your biggest dreams out loud. ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:Today I’m sitting down with Rebekkah Rosado as she shares with us how she built her company, Runway Events.  In the last 3 years, she has also added The Runway Collection and Runway Botanical to be able to now offer vintage furniture and floral design for weddings and events.   In this episode, Rebekkah shares how her business has quadrupled since her diagnosis with Hodgkins Lymphoma which is completely mind-blowing!  She shares how this diagnosis has helped her to slow down and to realize that she was doing the work of 4 full-time employees on her own and that to battle this disease she would need to hire, train, and trust.   I can’t wait for you to hear more about Rebekkah’s story.  I promise you’ll be inspired!! ________________ Social Handles &amp; Website: Instagram: @mrsrebekkahrose @yourrunwayevent  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourrunwayevent/https://www.facebook.com/rebekkahjoyrosado Website:https://www.yourrunwayevent.com/________________Show Notes: http://brandeegaar.com/13 Website:www.shewhodarespodcast.comInstagram Join The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

7. Raising young entrepreneurs; they have a seat at the table

Welcome to episode 14!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple Podcasts My guest today is Kristen Weaver of Kristen Weaver Photography and if you’ve seen any professional pictures of myself or my family from the last 5 years, you can bet Kristen took them! She has this way of making magic with her camera that makes her subjects look like supermodels! I’m not even kidding….if you could see the hijinx that actually happens and then see the images she creates….they’re just stunning! Kristen shares with us that she’s really always been the girl with a camera….from childhood she was the one taking pictures of others and capturing the memories. But it was never a career path. Until one day, her hubby said: “ya know….let’s give this photography thing a shot!”. And Kristen Weaver Photography was born! Kristen has mastered the art of online marketing with large followings on all of her social platforms including her latest endeavor….TikTok! With over 100k followers on the newest social craze in just a few weeks we talk about what TikTok means for businesses (or what it doesn’t mean!) and how her team comes up with the content they’ll share. We also chat about Kristen’s adversity to podcasts which is hysterical! But we know after this experience, she’ll be hooked to following along in the podcast world! Grab a cup of coffee and settle in….this was a fun one!

24. COVID, contracts and clauses

Welcome to episode 16!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple PodcastsThis week we’re switching things up a bit and playing for you a live presentation I gave at the Perfect Wedding Pros luncheon in Orlando recently. The topic I was asked to present was New Year, New You and as I pondered that topic I couldn’t help but think…I don’t want to just talk about making things shiny THIS year. 2020 is the start of a whole new decade. I have to really cast vision for what the next 10 years could look like because we all know that as entrepreneurs we can sometimes get caught up in just keeping all the balls in the air on the day to day….doing all the things! But I knew I was being given a golden opportunity to help us all to see past today, next month and even next year. What would our lives look like in the year 2030??After you listen to the episode, hop over to my website at www.brandeegaar.com/successactionplan and download my free Worksheet that I created to walk you step by step through this exercise of Defining Success and Creating a plan to achieve it! With this worksheet, there are NO more excuses!! As I mentioned in the presentation, A goal without a plan is just a dream. So listen to the episode, download the step by step worksheet grab a glass of wine and get to planning because you have BIG plans to achieve and the time is now!Show Notes: http://brandeegaar.com/2020/02/10/live-from-orland…ng-pros-luncheon/Website:www.shewhodarespodcast.comInstagram Join The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

16. Live from Orlando Perfect Wedding Pros Luncheon

Welcome to episode 25!I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts! Apple PodcastsToday's episode is close to my heart. We're about 4 weeks into this quarantine and we're all going a bit stir crazy right??When COVID really started to hit our industry on March 16th, it became glaringly obvious that this was going to be a bit "time out". All of the worry and anxiety we're all feeling started to creep in and we knew we had 2 choices. Roll over and hide while we waited to see how bad it was OR stand up and fight.We chose the latter!
