  • EP 387: Local Love Captured: A Wedding Team’s Secret Sauce
    Jan 1 2026

    What makes Rachel and Danny with Forget Me Not Pictures a good neighbor?

    Rachel and Danny believe you can feel a wedding shift the moment two cameras begin telling the story from both sides. In this episode, we sit down with the husband-and-wife team behind Forget Me Not Pictures to explore how empathy, preparation, and shared creative rhythm turn a packed timeline into a vivid narrative. From the bride’s quiet moments of getting ready to the groom’s unguarded first reaction, they capture the heartbeat of a day most couples only remember in flashes.

    We trace their journey from running two separate brands to building a single, scalable LLC designed for legacy. That decision reshaped how they serve clients and how they grow—moving beyond names on a business card to a standard that can outlast their calendars. Rachel and Danny also challenge a persistent myth in the wedding world: that the highest price tag guarantees the best photos. For them, real value lives in trust, problem-solving under pressure, and the instinct to notice details that will matter ten years from now—not just ten minutes after the toast.

    Marketing gets the same thoughtful treatment. They break down what works across Google, Maps, Instagram, and paid search, and why listings on platforms like Zola and The Knot meet couples at different stages of planning. The conversation weaves practical insight with unforgettable moments—like an overheated reception when a venue’s AC failed, or a groom surprising his bride with a Hawaiian pizza during their first look as a nod to their first date. These are the personal touches that become the images families pass down.

    If you value real moments, smart planning, and wedding photos that feel alive long after the day ends, this conversation delivers.

  • EP 385: Experience Beats Equipment When Memories Are The Product
    Jan 1 2026

    What makes Patrick Bastien with The Party Photo Booths by Events Media Social Experience a good neighbor?

    Patrick believes great events are remembered not just by what people hear, but by how they feel stepping into the moment. In this episode, we sit down with the photographer-turned-founder of The Party Photo Booths by Events Media Social Experience to unpack how a single wedding experience—where the dance floor fell quiet but the photo booth stayed buzzing—inspired a business built on joy, crisp lighting, and seamless guest flow. Drawing on more than two decades behind the camera, Patrick shares why professional standards matter and how the right mix of lighting, software, and hospitality turns a simple setup into the centerpiece of a wedding, corporate activation, or community event.

    Patrick breaks down the biggest myths in the photo booth world, including the idea that a ring light alone creates a premium experience. We explore what truly separates average from unforgettable: reliable technology, trained attendants, clear pre-event planning, and custom designs that make brands and celebrations look polished on every share. He explains his corporate-first focus during convention and holiday seasons, how Google reviews and event marketplaces support discovery, and why repeat business and referrals now drive the majority of bookings.

    For weddings, Patrick reveals the small touches that elevate the night—from red-carpet staging to guided scrapbook stations where guests print a photo and leave a handwritten note before the evening ends. We also dig into the logistics that make events feel effortless: managing lines, creating natural flow, and setting a vibe that helps even shy guests feel confident stepping in front of the lens. If you’re planning a wedding, launching a brand activation, or refreshing your vendor list, you’ll leave with a practical checklist for choosing a photo booth partner—from evaluating lighting in sample galleries to confirming backup gear, staffing, and timeline integration.

    If you care about guest experience and vendors who quietly raise the bar, this conversation delivers both insight and inspiration.

  • EP 384: Meet The Super Broker Helping Entrepreneurs Secure Loans When Banks Say No
    Dec 23 2025

    What makes Jeremiah Crockett with Monumental Funding Solutions a good neighbor?

    Jeremiah believes a bank saying “no” shouldn’t be the end of the road—it should be the start of smarter options. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Monumental Funding Solutions to map real-world paths to capital without guesswork, heroics, or perfect timing. From SBA and term loans to equipment financing, merchant advances, and commercial real estate, Jeremiah explains how different funding products fit different business stages, cash flow realities, and documentation profiles.

    Jeremiah shares how Monumental pivoted from marketing into funding after watching too many qualified business owners fall through the cracks. That shift led to building a wide network of banks and direct lenders with diverse underwriting appetites. We unpack the “super broker” approach—matching each funding request with the right lender lens—and why denials often come from mismatched products rather than weak businesses. You’ll hear practical preparation steps that make approvals faster and cleaner: tightening bank statements, clearly defining use of funds, understanding collateral, and choosing timelines that protect cash flow.

    We also zoom out to strategy. Monumental operates across most states, serving both urban and rural markets while treating exceptions case by case. On the marketing side, PPC drives discovery, but long-term trust comes from service and referrals—clients return because they feel informed, respected, and guided. Jeremiah’s emphasis on customer service turns a stressful process into a transparent, educational journey that reduces risk and shortens time to decision. Along the way, we touch on family, balance, and the mission to point every business owner toward a real yes—even if it’s not the path they first expected.

    If you’re ready to approach funding with clarity instead of confusion, this conversation offers a grounded playbook.
