Hey, 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.

Her experience extends beyond the wedding industry as well.

Is space in music just as important as the notes? If you tuned into my episode with Grammy Nominated artist, Joseph Wooten, you'd know that rhythm forces you to not only give each other space, but to respect each other's space. Take a look at a website that you really like and notice how much space is in between the text and images. How chaotic would the website look if there was no space?
🎧 Listen now to learn:
✨ To shift your mindset & focus on joy and happiness rather than the negative aspects through gratitude
✨ How to avoid living on the edge of burnout
✨How to add space in your life, on your own terms

How funk became the celebratory music and why it's known as the "free man's music"How harmony tells us how to feel and how rhythm gives the music a path forwardMusical ConceptsJoseph's relationship with Steve Miller, Victor Wooten and the rest of his brothers
Joseph Wooten is a three-time Grammy-nominated artist, songwriter, keyboardist, and vocalist. Since 1993, Joseph has been an integral member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, The Steve Miller Band. He is a producer, speaker, and fronts his own band, Joseph Wooten and The Hands of Soul. Joseph also serves as the keyboard is to his brother, Victor Wooten. On top of all of that, he's an author of It All Matters from which there's a Ted Talk delivered in Memphis, Tennessee called Why It All Matters.
Joseph says the most important thing you can learn from music is that in music, rhythm creates a relationship with things that are normally not compatible. Rhythm gives two different ideas a path forward because rhythm makes them respect each other's space. Joseph says that if you replace rhythm with respect off the stage, it will do the same thing. Growing up, Joseph's mom told him and his brothers, "What does the world need with just another good musician? What we need are more good people." Their mom knew the music business would be tough and may or may not work out, but knew that they would survive it based on the quality of character that she raised Joseph, Victor, Reggie, Roy, Rudy, and Elijah to be. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as we dive into Music, Culture, Rhythm, and Respect.
