    <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey there, CEO! In today&apos;s episode, I&apos;m thrilled to introduce you to the She Calls Her Shots podcast with Krista Marie. Krista and I had an amazing conversation about a topic that resonates with all of us: how to protect our time while growing our revenue. Trust me, we all need this!<br/><br/>Every year on this show, we like to spend a month where we highlight other industry podcasts that we love and that I know you will love too.<br/><br/>We delved into the importance of setting goals that don&apos;t overwhelm us and narrowing our focus to achieve long-term growth in our businesses. <br/><br/>Krista, a wedding and brand photographer and a no-fluff business coach, and I had a great connection throughout the episode. <br/><br/>During our chat, we reminisced about how I got started in this industry. I began my journey as a corporate event planner at a major hotel in Orlando after college. Although it seemed like a charmed entry, the long hours and lack of quality time with my daughter made me realize I needed a change.<br/><br/>We also tackled the overwhelming amount of education available nowadays. Trust me, I&apos;ve had students who purchased countless programs in a year, only to feel completely overwhelmed. It&apos;s crucial to find clarity amidst the information overload.<br/><br/>As a wedding industry pro, you might feel the pressure to be present on every social media platform, manage your clients, and handle all the other aspects of your business. I encourage you to focus on one area that will move the needle the most for you right now.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there, CEO! In today&apos;s episode, I&apos;m thrilled to introduce you to the She Calls Her Shots podcast with Krista Marie. Krista and I had an amazing conversation about a topic that resonates with all of us: how to protect our time while growing our revenue. Trust me, we all need this!<br/><br/>Every year on this show, we like to spend a month where we highlight other industry podcasts that we love and that I know you will love too.<br/><br/>We delved into the importance of setting goals that don&apos;t overwhelm us and narrowing our focus to achieve long-term growth in our businesses. <br/><br/>Krista, a wedding and brand photographer and a no-fluff business coach, and I had a great connection throughout the episode. <br/><br/>During our chat, we reminisced about how I got started in this industry. I began my journey as a corporate event planner at a major hotel in Orlando after college. Although it seemed like a charmed entry, the long hours and lack of quality time with my daughter made me realize I needed a change.<br/><br/>We also tackled the overwhelming amount of education available nowadays. Trust me, I&apos;ve had students who purchased countless programs in a year, only to feel completely overwhelmed. It&apos;s crucial to find clarity amidst the information overload.<br/><br/>As a wedding industry pro, you might feel the pressure to be present on every social media platform, manage your clients, and handle all the other aspects of your business. I encourage you to focus on one area that will move the needle the most for you right now. Put blinders on and go all in. <br/><br/>Remember, my ultimate goal is to help you ditch overwhelm and build a profitable business you love. That&apos;s why I create digital courses, social media content, podcasts, and YouTube videos—all available on my website, brandeegaar.com. I invite you to join me on this journey, leverage the resources, and let&apos;s make your wedding business thrive!<br/><br/>Tune in to the Wedding Pro CEO podcast and embark on a path to a sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling wedding business.<br/><br/>Join <a href='https://urlgeni.us/facebook/wpceopod'>The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community</a> 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&apos;ve always dreamed of!<br/> <br/> For full show notes and guest links click <a href='https://brandeegaar.com/194'>HERE</a>!<br/> <br/> Please share your biggest takeaway and REVIEW THE PODCAST <a href='https://ratethispodcast.com/swd'>HERE</a>!<br/> <br/> Follow me online!!</p><p><a href='http://www.brandeegaar.com/'>Brandeegaar.com</a><br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/'>Instagram</a><br/> <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@theweddingproceo?_t=8ZZHsiSkZmk&amp;_r=1'>TikTok</a><br/> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/BrandeeGaarOfficial/'>Facebook</a> <br/> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@brandeegaar'>Youtube</a><br/> <br/>-----<br/>#weddingproCEOpodcast  #weddingproceo #weddingprocoach</p><p>Join the Beyond Prompts Boot Camp here!!!</p> <p><a href="https://weddingproceo.com/freetrainingorg">FREE TRAINING for Wedding Business Owners</a></p> <p>Beyond Prompts Bootcamp: Learn AI to Run Your Wedding Business Better (June 23–25)</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brandeegaar">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

Most wedding pros don&apos;t know if they&apos;re converting enough leads in their business because they&apos;re not tracking the data. <br/><br/>So that is what I am teaching today!

I&apos;m busy already and I don&apos;t even know where to start or how I would get it published or what it would even be about???<br/><br/>On today&apos;s show, my guest, Jeri Solomon and Edna Dratch Parker are both wedding pros in New England and Boston, and they came together over the last several years to write a book on how to plan a wedding. <br/><br/>What I love about this book is that they did a really great job of simply setting the foundation of wedding planning for couples for newly engaged couples.<br/><br/>They don&apos;t get into pricing and markets. <br/><br/>They aren&apos;t trying to replace a wedding planner. <br/><br/>In fact, they tell you that having a wedding planner is actually super important to planning your wedding. <br/><br/>But they do really set the foundation for engaged couples to help alleviate some of those questions that we answer over and over and over again as wedding pros. <br/><br/>If you&apos;ve ever thought about writing a book, Edna and Jeri talk about their journey of writing and publishing their book, as well as what it&apos;s done for their businesses and why you should really consider authoring a book if that&apos;s something that&apos;s been on your bucket list.<br/><br/>So you guys, I know that you&apos;re gonna enjoy this episode, so sit back, relax, and let&apos;s get into it!!<br/><br/>-----<br/>Join <a href='https://urlgeni.us/facebook/wpceopod'>The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community</a> 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&apos;ve always dreamed of!<br/> <br/> For full show notes and guest links click <a href='https://brandeegaar.com/178'>HERE</a>!<br/> <br/> Please share your biggest takeaway and REVIEW THE PODCAST <a href='https://ratethispodcast.com/swd'>HERE</a>!<br/> <br/> Follow me online!!</p><p><a href='http://www.brandeegaar.com/'>Brandeegaar.com</a><br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/'>Instagram</a><br/> <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@theweddingproceo?_t=8ZZHsiSkZmk&amp;_r=1'>TikTok</a><br/> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/BrandeeGaarOfficial/'>Facebook</a> <br/> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@brandeegaar'>Youtube</a></p><p>-----<br/>#WeddingProCEOPodcast  #weddingproceo #weddingprocoach</p><p>Join the Beyond Prompts Boot Camp here!!!</p> <p><a href="https://weddingproceo.com/freetrainingorg">FREE TRAINING for Wedding Business Owners</a></p> <p>Beyond Prompts Bootcamp: Learn AI to Run Your Wedding Business Better (June 23–25)</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brandeegaar">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

We had so much fun really talking about just so much practical industry knowledge about what you need to do when you are a business owner and you have all of these new ideas.

He&apos;s open about his past challenges because he&apos;s been able to find the humor in them, turn these challenges into lessons, put them into action, and he went on to conquer the wedding and events world.<br/><br/>No matter if you&apos;re just starting out on your entrepreneurial journey or you&apos;re a seasoned CEO, I know you&apos;ll learn so much from our conversation about resilience and courage.<br/><br/>-----<br/>Hey there CEOs it’s Brandee and I have just a quick note for newer listeners. </p><p>The show used to be called <b>The</b> <b>She Who Dares Podcast</b> but on May 5, 2022 we changed the name to <b>The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast</b> to better reflect my mission to help Wedding Industry Entrepreneurs scale a profitable business they love. </p><p>The content is the same, just a more descriptive title. </p><p>Enjoy the show!!</p><p>-----<br/>For full show notes and guest links click <a href='https://brandeegaar.com/97'>HERE</a>!<br/><br/>Please share your biggest takeaway and review our podcast <a href='https://ratethispodcast.com/swd'>HERE</a>!</p><p>Follow me online!!</p><p><a href='https://brandeegaar.com/'>Website</a><br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/'>Instagram</a><br/><a href='https://www.facebook.com/BrandeeGaarOfficial/'>Facebook</a> </p><p>-----<br/> #FemaleEntrepreneur #weddingbusinessowner #weddingprocoach</p><p>Join the Beyond Prompts Boot Camp here!!!</p> <p><a href="https://weddingproceo.com/freetrainingorg">FREE TRAINING for Wedding Business Owners</a></p> <p>Beyond Prompts Bootcamp: Learn AI to Run Your Wedding Business Better (June 23–25)</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brandeegaar">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

We&apos;re about 4 weeks into this quarantine and we&apos;re all going a bit stir crazy right??</p><p>When <b>COVID</b> really started to hit our industry on March 16th, it became glaringly obvious that this was going to be a bit &quot;time out&quot;. All of the worry and anxiety we&apos;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 <b>OR</b> stand up and fight.</p><p>We chose the latter! Our team quickly pivoted to meet the need of our couples right where they are and do business a different way!</p><p><b>I hope this episode is encouraging and will inspire you to think differently.

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!</p><p>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!”. <b>And Kristen Weaver Photography was born!</b></p><p>Kristen has mastered the art of online marketing with large followings on all of her social platforms including her latest endeavor….TikTok! With over <b>100k followers</b> 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!</p><p><b>Grab a cup of coffee and settle in….this was a fun one!</b></p><p><b>Social Handles &amp; Website:</b></p><p>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kristenweaverphoto/'>@kristenweaverphoto</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kristenweaverstudio/'>@kristenweaverstudio</a></p><p><b>Facebook: <br/></b><a href='https://www.facebook.com/kristenweaverphoto'>@kristenweaverphoto</a><br/><a href='https://www.facebook.com/kristenweaverphotography/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&amp;eid=ARDqp7Rucf6KJR100Yhf0QOJWqLb_33VTvW7T09v1HiM7aNF0YtNuDrHLZrmgfEvSEKz1lShW04Z3y4m'>@kristenweaverphotograph</a></p><p><b>Website:<br/></b><a href='https://kristenweaverblog.com/'>@kristenweaverblog.com</a></p><p><a href='http://brandeegaar.com/2020/01/28/she-makes-magic-…h-kristen-weaver/'><b>Show Notes</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>Follow me online!!</p><p><a href='http://www.brandeegaar.com/'>Brandeegaar.com</a><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/'>Instagram</a><br/><a href='https://www.facebook.com/BrandeeGaarOfficial/'>Facebook</a> </p><p>-----<br/> #FemaleEntrepreneur #weddingproceo #weddingprocoach</p><p>Hey there CEOs it’s Brandee and I have just a quick note for newer listeners. </p><p>The show used to be called <b>The</b> <b>She Who Dares Podcast</b> but on May 5, 2022 we changed the name to <b>The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast</b> to better reflect my mission to help Wedding Industry Entrepreneurs scale a profitable business they love. </p><p>The content is the same, just a more descriptive title. </p><p>Enjoy the show!!</p><p>Join the Beyond Prompts Boot Camp here!!!</p> <p><a href="https://weddingproceo.com/freetrainingorg">FREE TRAINING for Wedding Business Owners</a></p> <p>Beyond Prompts Bootcamp: Learn AI to Run Your Wedding Business Better (June 23–25)</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brandeegaar">Support the show</a></p>]]></description>

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!</p><p>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!”. <b>And Kristen Weaver Photography was born!</b></p><p>Kristen has mastered the art of online marketing with large followings on all of her social platforms including her latest endeavor….TikTok! With over <b>100k followers</b> 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!</p><p><b>Grab a cup of coffee and settle in….this was a fun one!</b></p><p><b>Social Handles &amp; Website:</b></p><p>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kristenweaverphoto/'>@kristenweaverphoto</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kristenweaverstudio/'>@kristenweaverstudio</a></p><p><b>Facebook: <br/></b><a href='https://www.facebook.com/kristenweaverphoto'>@kristenweaverphoto</a><br/><a href='https://www.facebook.com/kristenweaverphotography/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&amp;eid=ARDqp7Rucf6KJR100Yhf0QOJWqLb_33VTvW7T09v1HiM7aNF0YtNuDrHLZrmgfEvSEKz1lShW04Z3y4m'>@kristenweaverphotograph</a></p><p><b>Website:<br/></b><a href='https://kristenweaverblog.com/'>@kristenweaverblog.com</a></p><p><a href='http://brandeegaar.com/2020/01/28/she-makes-magic-…h-kristen-weaver/'><b>Show Notes</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>Follow me online!!</p><p><a href='http://www.brandeegaar.com/'>Brandeegaar.com</a><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/brandeegaar/'>Instagram</a><br/><a href='https://www.facebook.com/BrandeeGaarOfficial/'>Facebook</a> </p><p>-----<br/> #FemaleEntrepreneur #weddingproceo #weddingprocoach</p><p>Hey there CEOs it’s Brandee and I have just a quick note for newer listeners. </p><p>The show used to be called <b>The</b> <b>She Who Dares Podcast</b> but on May 5, 2022 we changed the name to <b>The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast</b> to better reflect my mission to help Wedding Industry Entrepreneurs scale a profitable business they love. </p><p>The content is the same, just a more descriptive title. </p><p>Enjoy the show!!</p><p>Join the Beyond Prompts Boot Camp here!!!</p> <p><a href="https://weddingproceo.com/freetrainingorg">FREE TRAINING for Wedding Business Owners</a></p> <p>Beyond Prompts Bootcamp: Learn AI to Run Your Wedding Business Better (June 23–25)</p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brandeegaar">Support the show</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
