Hey there CEOs it’s Brandee and I have just a quick note for newer listeners.
The show used to be called The She Who Dares Podcast but on May 5, 2022 we changed the name to The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast to better reflect my mission to help Wedding Industry Entrepreneurs scale a profitable business they love.

Welcome to episode 17!
I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
This week I sat down with Kathy Thomas of Kathy Thomas Photography and Collective 615.
I have to admit...Kathy and I do run in similar circles in our area and we have worked together a few times but we’ve never really gotten to know each other personally so I was super excited to get to spend some dedicated time asking her about her story, how she got into the wedding industry and how she took the leap from her corporate job to starting her own photography business.
The reason Kathy’s story intrigued me so much and I knew I had to have her on the podcast is because not only is she a fabulous, luxury photographer but she is the owner/creator of Collective 615....a female only co-working space in the heart of Music City!
I’ve been watching her social media and have asked her a few times via private DMs about this project and I have just been enamored with the concept since it’s inception. Why female only? Why a co-working space at all?? Isn’t the market already so saturated with big box co-working spaces??
In this episode Kathy tells it all! How Collective got its name, their concept and why they’re different from what’s currently on the market, how she knew there was a hole in the market for this type of workspace and how a trusted advisor told her not to do it!
This is a fun episode and I’m excited for you to hear it all!!

16. Live from Orlando Perfect Wedding Pros Luncheon
Welcome to episode 16!
I would love for you to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
This week we’re switching things up a bit and playing for you a live presentation I gave at the Perfect Wedding Pros luncheon in Orlando recently. The topic I was asked to present was New Year, New You and as I pondered that topic I couldn’t help but think...I don’t want to just talk about making things shiny THIS year. 2020 is the start of a whole new decade. I have to really cast vision for what the next 10 years could look like because we all know that as entrepreneurs we can sometimes get caught up in just keeping all the balls in the air on the day to day....doing all the things! But I knew I was being given a golden opportunity to help us all to see past today, next month and even next year. What would our lives look like in the year 2030??
After you listen to the episode, hop over to my website at www.brandeegaar.com/successactionplan and download my free Worksheet that I created to walk you step by step through this exercise of Defining Success and Creating a plan to achieve it! With this worksheet, there are NO more excuses!! As I mentioned in the presentation, A goal without a plan is just a dream. So listen to the episode, download the step by step worksheet grab a glass of wine and get to planning because you have BIG plans to achieve and the time is now!
