    Balloon artist to industry innovator

    Some people find one thing they're good at and settle in. Chris keeps building new roads. He's a Sydney-based balloon business owner who's also the creator of Balloon Pro, a world-traveling organics teacher and a consultant and judge on the TV show Blow Up.  In this episode we talk about how he went from balloon artist to industry innovator, and what that journey actually looked like up close. Chris shares why he treats every idea as something worth testing, and what his failures have taught him. He also gets into how he built a team he trusts enough to leave for five weeks while filming, plus his honest take on where AI helps balloon design and where it never will. If you've ever wondered whether your business could become something more than a single balloon job, this conversation is for you.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear a great tip for creating a balloon ceiling install without helium.   Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  balloonpro.co  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube

    How to build a balloon business you can actually leave

    Jill built the largest retail balloon shop in North America... then walked away from it on her own terms. If you have ever wondered how someone actually retires from a balloon business, this is the conversation. We get into why most retail shops go under, what "processed out" really means and a calendar trick that might change how you plan your entire year. Jill pulls back the curtain on what separates a retail shop that survives from one that sinks. And hint: it's not talent. We talk about pricing like you are already in the store, the real cost of your first employee and why you cannot sell a business that only lives in your head. Jill also shares the business books that shaped her and the strategy business she launched, Fable and Firm. If you have big dreams for your balloon business but no exit plan, this one is for you.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear how one listener finds comparable colors across brands.    Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  @fableandfirm  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube

    The building-sized balloon install that took over a whole town

    What if a random idea at a balloon class turned into a full building-sized install that had an entire town stopping traffic to take photos? That's exactly what happened for Jodie of Pop by Posh Party Designs and Event Space. She pulled off a massive collaborative flamingo install in Leominster, Massachusetts, with 14 other balloon pros. Not only that, but she also scored two brand sponsorships, a free crane, donated meals and front-page press coverage. And in this episode, we hear all about it! It's another great example of how local "competitors" can become your closest balloon besties, and what can actually happen when you're brave enough to ask.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear Erin's (Young and Wild Balloon Co) tip about always having a tape measure that other vendors can borrow.    Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets @betallic Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  @pop_by_posh16  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube

    Give back without going broke; a marketing masterclass

    What if your next big marketing win came from a rainy day you almost skipped? Tashonda of The Balloon Parlor got her face on a Cincinnati city bus for free... then gave half the space away to her community. This episode is a masterclass in generous, low-cost marketing. Tashonda has been in business for about six years, works corporate and private events and sits on the board of her local Chamber of Commerce. She shares exactly how she won a free bus wrap through a holiday toy drive, why she filled that bus with other businesses and nonprofits instead of just herself and how those partnerships turned into promotion for everyone involved.  We also get into her Balloon Extravaganza; a balloon Easter egg hunt for senior citizens that she funds entirely through sponsors and an Amazon wish list. If asking for help makes you squirm or your marketing budget feels tight, Tashonda will change how you think about it in this episode.   In the UGlu Hotline, hear how one listener uses acetone in her setups.   Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets @betallic Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  @theballoonparlor  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube
