    Misty Koehn - Eye-LLURE

    In this episode of Caddo Convos, host Buddy Broyles welcomes 14-year industry veteran Misty Koehn, owner of Eye-LLURE, an exclusive eyelash extension studio based in Allen, Texas . Misty breaks down the intricate artistry, proper care, and safety engineering required for long-lasting, damage-free lash extensions . From debunking common myths about lash health to transitioning her business from high-priced salon suites to a flexible Caddo Office suite, Misty shares how a focus on high-touch client trust, customized styling, and true craftsmanship has allowed her business to thrive purely on word-of-mouth referrals .   https://www.eyellure.net/ https://www.facebook.com/eyellure/ https://www.instagram.com/eyellure/   Key Takeaways 14 Years of Specialized Expertise: Operating as a "one-woman show" focusing exclusively on lash extensions allows Misty to master and perfect her technique without distraction . Protecting Natural Lash Integrity: True lash artistry prioritizes individual lash fans tailored to what each natural lash can safely support, preventing long-term damage . Debunking Break Myths: Properly applied individual extensions move with the natural shedding cycle, allowing clients to wear them continuously for years—even up to 12 years—without taking breaks . Clusters vs. Individual Artistry: Misty strongly advises against heavy pre-built "clusters," which can damage natural lashes and cause noticeable gaps when falling out, preferring individually built fans that mimic natural growth . Managing Reactions Safely: To prevent allergic reactions to adhesive, Misty uses modern hypoallergenic glues and performs patch tests on the inner arm 24 hours prior to application . Word-of-Mouth Business Model: By prioritizing clean, classy looks that enhance natural beauty rather than overpowering the face, Eye-LLURE has built a loyal client base purely through client referrals . Cost-Effective Office Spaces: Moving her studio to Caddo Office Reimagined in Allen provided Misty with full office amenities at a lower price point than traditional salon suites .

    Scott Cole - ColeLab

    In this episode of Caddo Convos, host Scott Cole interviews marketing veteran Scott Cole, founder of ColeLab (colelab.ai), about how small businesses can harness AI to stop losing leads and drive real revenue . Drawing from a 20+ year career—spanning Super Bowl campaigns, NFL Network broadcasting, and building scalable tech—Scott shares how simple AI automations like 24/7 receptionists, smart calendar booking, and StoryBrand messaging allow entrepreneurs to gain 10+ hours back each week while dramatically increasing their sales . Discover how to combine cutting-edge technology with human connection to grow your business without sacrificing your life.   https://colelab.ai/ https://scottcole.ai/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottxcole/   Key Takeaways Solving the Unanswered Lead Problem: With 62% of small business leads going unanswered, ColeLab utilizes AI receptionists and automated DM responses to capture missed revenue around the clock . Humans First, Tech Second: While AI handles repetitive administrative tasks and after-hours bookings, human emotional connection and strategic messaging remain irreplaceable for inspiring customers . Favorite AI Productivity Tools: Scott recommends tools like Claude (and Claude CoWork) for organizing files, decluttering drives, and writing with a natural human tone . A Diverse Marketing & Media Career: Scott's background includes a digital media degree in 1997, managing campaigns for Fortune 50 companies (American Airlines, AT&T, Microsoft), broadcasting for the NFL Network, and scaling sports media ventures . StoryBrand & Clear Messaging: Beyond automation, ColeLab incorporates Donald Miller's StoryBrand principles to turn confusing industry jargon into clear, high-converting customer messaging . 4x Minimum ROI Target: A healthy marketing setup should yield at least a 4x to 10x return on investment within 90 days, or the strategy needs to be adjusted . Work-Life Balance via Caddo: Utilizing a dedicated Caddo office space allows Scott to keep work at work, lower screen time, and spend more meaningful time with family and community .   Podcast services provided by Blue Mic Studios, the podcast production division of Visual Learning Solutions, LLC.  https://www.bluemicstudios.com/ Blue Mic Studios is located in Frisco at the Westridge location of Caddo Offices Reimagined. https://caddooffices.com/   #ColeLab #CaddoConvos #SmallBusinessAI #MarketingAutomation #LeadGeneration #StoryBrand #BusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurLife #WorkSmart #DFWBusiness Scott Cole, ColeLab, Caddo Convos, AI for small business, marketing automation, StoryBrand, lead capture, local business growth, Claude AI, work-life balance

Print Is Still Thriving: Contrary to digital-only trends, 8 out of 10 homes that receive the physical monthly paper actually read it, driven by high-value, relevant neighborhood content . Exceptional Digital Engagement: Beyond print, their daily local newsletters achieve open rates as high as 69% (e.g., in Plano), and their free, non-paywalled website drives over 1.3 million monthly ad impressions . Bootstrapped Origin Story: Founded 21 years ago in Round Rock, Texas, by a husband and wife who maxed out a credit card in their spare room, the company has grown into a trusted media power without venture capital backing . SEO Advantage for Local Advertisers: Because content is free and not locked behind a paywall, search engines easily index local business feature stories and ads, boosting organic search visibility . The 4 Pillars of Successful Advertising: Scott highlights four key principles for ad campaigns: reach the right audience, reach them enough times, deliver the right message, and remain consistent over time . Workplace Flexibility: Scott leverages Caddo's network of flexible co-working and day offices across North Texas to stay productive while meeting clients directly in the field .

    Can just one hour a week change the trajectory of a student's life? On this episode of Caddo Convos, guest Jessica Jones from Foundation For Choice breaks down how 1-on-1 mentorship, career exploration, and corporate partnerships are transforming high school juniors and seniors into confident, college-and-career-ready leaders. Whether you're a local business owner looking to give back or an individual wanting to make a tangible impact, this conversation is a powerful reminder of how community mentorship creates real change.

Low-Barrier Commitment for Mentors: Mentors meet with students during the school day for about an hour a week (with a baseline expectation of at least once a month), using a guided, step-by-step curriculum provided by the organization. Hands-on Career Exploration: Beyond standard mentoring, the program organizes business field trips (e.g., Capital One, Intuit) and connects students with "Business Champions" for industry research and informational calls. Real Success Stories: Program participant Justin went from doubting college was for him to securing a summer internship with American Airlines through the mentorship network. First-Gen College Guidance: The curriculum helps students—many of whom are first-generation college-bound—navigate college selection, scholarship searches, and financial aid without fear or confusion. Community & Business Networking: The foundation hosts monthly "Mentor Amigos" dinners, an Advisory Board for local business leaders, and end-of-year Career Exploration events. Demystifying Mentorship: Jessica emphasizes that mentors don't need special expertise; the simple act of showing up, giving time, and validating a student's potential is what drives results.   Podcast services provided by Blue Mic Studios, the podcast production division of Visual Learning Solutions, LLC.  https://www.bluemicstudios.com/ Blue Mic Studios is located in Frisco at the Westridge location of Caddo Offices Reimagined. https://caddooffices.com/ #CaddoConvos #FoundationForChoice #MentorshipMatters #DFWNonprofit #StudentSuccess #CollegeAndCareerReady #BusinessInCommunity #VolunteerDallas #YouthEmpowerment #GiveBack DallasISD Mentorship, Student Success, Foundation For Choice, High School Mentoring, Corporate Social Responsibility, Dallas Mentoring, College Readiness, First Generation College Students, Business Champions, Volunteer Opportunities

    Mental health is an essential part of navigating life's major transitions.  On this episode of Caddo Convos, host Buddy Broyles sits down with Alissa Roberts, founder of Flower Mound Family Institute . Alissa shares her refreshing, holistic approach to therapy—looking beyond symptoms to analyze complete family dynamics, sleep patterns, nutrition, and even collaborating with primary care physicians . From helping college graduates enter the workforce to guiding empty nesters through new chapters, Alissa's unique philosophy centers on "working herself out of a job" by equipping clients with practical, long-term tools .   Alissa Roberts contact info: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alissa-roberts-1652b9170/ https://www.fmfamilyinstitute.com/ Free Consultation: Alissa offers a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure proper fit before starting therapy .   Key Takeaways A Comprehensive, Holistic Philosophy: Alissa evaluates the whole person, integrating family history, sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, and coordination with primary care doctors to address root causes . Working Herself Out of a Job: Rather than keeping clients in perpetual sessions, Alissa focuses on teaching actionable coping skills with the goal of helping clients "graduate" into independent well-being . Navigating High-Stress Life Transitions: Her practice frequently supports young adults exiting college into careers, as well as "empty nester" parents adjusting to quieter, changing households . Recognizing Stress Disturbance Signals: Key indicators that stress or internal friction is escalating include disrupted sleep patterns, racing thoughts, and physical overreactions that don't match the situation . Walking Alongside, Not Dictating: Alissa dispels the myth that therapists give strict orders, emphasizing instead that true counseling involves asking curious questions to help clients uncover their own internal solutions . Taking the "Next Right Step": For anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, progress begins simply by taking one manageable action—whether that's talking with friends, researching practitioners, or booking a free initial consultation .   Podcast services provided by Blue Mic Studios, the podcast production division of Visual Learning Solutions, LLC.  https://www.bluemicstudios.com/ Blue Mic Studios is located in Frisco at the Westridge location of Caddo Offices Reimagined. https://caddooffices.com/   #FlowerMoundFamilyInstitute #CaddoConvos #AlissaRoberts #HolisticTherapy #MentalHealthMatters #LifeTransitions #TherapyTools #WellnessJourney #FlowerMoundTX #MindsetAndGrowth Alissa Roberts, Flower Mound Family Institute, Caddo Convos, Holistic Therapy, Life Transitions, Anxiety Relief, Depression Support, Mental Health Skill Building, Counseling Services, Flower Mound Texas

    Chloe McGlover - Massage Artz at The Oasis

    What if your pain isn't actually coming from where it hurts? On this episode of Caddo Convos, Chloe McGlover of Massage Artz at The Oasis shares how her unique background in physical therapy and medical massage helps clients uncover the true source of chronic pain and mobility issues. From helping stroke survivors regain range of motion to educating clients on the "bullies" behind muscle pain, Chloe explains why effective massage therapy is about much more than relaxation—it's about improving quality of life for the long term. Her passion for helping people move better and live better shines through every story she shares. Contact: https://massageartz.com/ Key Takeaways Chloe combines medical massage therapy with years of physical therapy experience, giving her a deeper understanding of how muscles function and why pain occurs. Every session is customized using tools such as cupping, hot stones, massage guns, and scraping techniques when appropriate. Pain is often the "victim," not the source of the problem. Chloe focuses on identifying and treating the underlying muscle groups causing the discomfort. She has helped clients with issues ranging from lower back pain and carpal tunnel symptoms to improving mobility after a stroke. Regular self-care matters. Chloe recommends massage guns, stretching, and maintaining muscle health between professional sessions. Long-term muscle shortening can contribute to posture and mobility issues as we age, making preventative care essential. Chloe's mission is helping people maintain independence, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life through consistent body care.
