Funktastic Chats
by Mike ZabrinFunktastic Chats is a podcast designed for creative entrepreneurs. I'm a musician in the wedding industry, but we're focusing on everything creativity. Topics include task management and outsourcing, because if other people in your business can't do what you do, you created a job for yourself and not a company, and maybe not such a good paying one either. Silencing your inner critic and reinventing yourself to business and workflow ideas. This is the business education that you may have always wanted.So why focus on creatives? Well, because there's not one clear path set out for you as a creative. The industry doesn't want you in it. This podcast is about combining your talent with business so that your industry cannot deny you and has no choice, but to open its doors for you. It starts with being in a mindset of understanding the value of investing in yourself, because if you don't invest in yourself, then who's going to invest in you. CEOs join me every week to help you monetize your passion, whatever that may be, into a full-time gig.

Should You Offer A Photo Booth Add-On?
39m · PublishedHey, event pros! We're talking about the next generation of Open-Air Photobooths by a company called Photobooth Supply Company, otherwise known as PBSC.
- Should you buy a photobooth to offer as an add-on?
- How does this photobooth company give owners and entry to the photobooth business that they may not have gotten otherwise?
- How much should you invest?
If you own a Salsa Booth, you most likely know my guest today, Simeon Weinraub, co-owner of Jovial events and rentals, and The Pasadena Photo Booth Company. An event company located in Pasadena California, serving the greater Los Angeles area with party decor, balloons, photo booth services, and other party rentals.
Before working in events, Simeon spent nearly three decades working in film and television production. And then spent some time teaching video, photography, and audio production.
He sees the Photo Booth business and its challenges as an opportunity to share his technical knowledge and apply it to help his clients and other operators in the industry to create memorable experiences.
