So tell us what you do

9
00:00:17,604 --> 00:00:23,394
Um, I am the manager, the studio manager
at Camera Shy in Daybreak, and I love it.

10
00:00:23,394 --> 00:00:24,234
It's the best.

11
00:00:24,534 --> 00:00:27,204
Um, I take care of like all the
employees, I run the business.

12
00:00:27,744 --> 00:00:29,454
I get to know all the
customers that come in.

13
00:00:30,324 --> 00:00:31,734
Yeah, right on Soda Row there?

14
00:00:31,764 --> 00:00:32,004
Yes.

15
00:00:32,004 --> 00:00:34,044
Straight across from the break ish.

16
00:00:34,104 --> 00:00:35,004
You guys know it?

17
00:00:35,064 --> 00:00:35,394
Yep.

18
00:00:35,754 --> 00:00:37,854
I mean, we've been in there
and did a tour a couple times.

19
00:00:37,854 --> 00:00:39,439
We got some photo shoots done with it.

20
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:39,719
Is it.

21
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:41,679
I've told people this before too.

22
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:43,119
Photographer is a photographer.

23
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:47,019
You can get somebody to take your picture,
but you gotta also get that experience.

24
00:00:47,019 --> 00:00:50,739
And she did like, oh, the santic dog.

25
00:00:50,739 --> 00:00:51,339
You remember that?

26
00:00:51,339 --> 00:00:52,599
Oh, Santa.

27
00:00:52,599 --> 00:00:54,034
My kids still talk about that.

28
00:00:54,699 --> 00:00:55,749
You should see some stuff you did.

29
00:00:55,749 --> 00:00:57,939
They actually don't gonna dive in
and talk about that because that

30
00:00:57,939 --> 00:01:00,249
is not every photography studio.

31
00:01:00,249 --> 00:01:00,429
No.

32
00:01:00,429 --> 00:01:04,449
So we'll get back to the roots
and kitty candids and all of that.

33
00:01:04,629 --> 00:01:05,709
Yeah, we'll bring that up.

34
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:10,389
But the roots to this, you guys have
been in photography for a very long time.

35
00:01:10,389 --> 00:01:13,149
They've been in Utah specifically
for a very long, you know

36
00:01:13,149 --> 00:01:13,839
what you're doing right?

37
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,889
But what sets them apart, what we're
talking about with the Santa event is

38
00:01:17,889 --> 00:01:20,439
they bring in Santa Claus to the studio.

39
00:01:20,529 --> 00:01:20,589
Yeah.

40
00:01:20,979 --> 00:01:23,889
Kids that get their pictures
and their little jammies

41
00:01:23,889 --> 00:01:25,149
and they're on Santa's knee.

42
00:01:25,389 --> 00:01:27,249
You have your little
picture with your dog.

43
00:01:27,309 --> 00:01:27,609
Yep.

44
00:01:27,699 --> 00:01:31,389
But the studio itself on
Soda Road, it's not as big.

45
00:01:32,289 --> 00:01:35,949
As you think it is, but after you, if
you saw a picture of all the backgrounds

46
00:01:35,949 --> 00:01:39,549
and all the environments behave inside
of there and the way that they can.

47
00:01:40,209 --> 00:01:40,809
Decorate.

48
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:43,814
Is that the Yeah, they're different
walls, different, different

49
00:01:43,814 --> 00:01:44,654
backgrounds, different walls.

50
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:44,949
Yeah.

51
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:46,959
There's, how many backdrops
do you guys have in there?

52
00:01:47,049 --> 00:01:47,709
Oh man.

53
00:01:47,769 --> 00:01:51,939
We have three different rooms,
so probably at least 20.

54
00:01:51,939 --> 00:01:55,749
I would say probably, I'd probably
say like 15, 17 something, I think.

55
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:58,094
Yeah, pretty close to, and we change 'em.

56
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:02,499
But with Santa Claus, they
also have Easter bunnies.

57
00:02:02,504 --> 00:02:02,524
Yes.

58
00:02:02,559 --> 00:02:03,729
That like the little bunnies.

59
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:04,569
'cause we're coming in.

60
00:02:04,569 --> 00:02:07,509
Just wild bunny, little bunnies.

61
00:02:07,509 --> 00:02:10,929
Bunnies that the kids can hold
and get their picture with.

62
00:02:10,929 --> 00:02:11,319
So funny.

63
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,719
What else do you guys do that you
bring into the studio that's coming?

64
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:14,079
Um.

65
00:02:14,344 --> 00:02:14,974
Seasonal.

66
00:02:14,974 --> 00:02:17,914
That's usually it is like
Santa and the bunnies, we do

67
00:02:17,914 --> 00:02:19,714
like little shoots like vol.

68
00:02:19,954 --> 00:02:21,124

Yeah.

70
00:02:22,714 --> 00:02:23,974
Um, that one's really fun.

71
00:02:23,974 --> 00:02:24,274
Ruth.

72
00:02:24,274 --> 00:02:24,814
She's cute.

73
00:02:24,964 --> 00:02:25,594
She's cute.

74
00:02:25,684 --> 00:02:26,884
We do a lot of minis with that.

75
00:02:26,884 --> 00:02:27,994
You can rent Ruth.

76
00:02:28,054 --> 00:02:28,354
Yeah.

77
00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:30,274
Which is a little photograph.

78
00:02:30,274 --> 00:02:30,544

It's so cute.

83
00:02:33,369 --> 00:02:34,569
No, she is the cutest thing.

84
00:02:34,569 --> 00:02:36,309
Well, she's just tiny too.

85
00:02:36,399 --> 00:02:38,079
You guys talk to another
language or something.

86
00:02:38,079 --> 00:02:38,409

87
00:02:38,409 --> 00:02:38,814

00:02:42,549 --> 00:02:46,179
I just do get so excited about
all the options that they have.

90
00:02:46,179 --> 00:02:48,609
Let's see that photo I,

91
00:02:48,609 --> 00:02:54,099
Coda is so durable until you see this
photo with, oh man, I've seen this.

92
00:02:54,669 --> 00:02:56,019
We gotta get a close up of that.

93
00:02:56,019 --> 00:02:57,489
I gotta show the audience here.

94
00:02:57,489 --> 00:02:58,614
Isn't that, look at the.

95
00:02:58,784 --> 00:02:59,114
I love it.

96
00:02:59,714 --> 00:03:00,669
Now if you, oh my gosh.

97
00:03:00,669 --> 00:03:05,469
If you were to put a bottle of cola
in that image, you got a new right.

98
00:03:05,684 --> 00:03:06,704
New ad, right?

99
00:03:06,704 --> 00:03:06,705
Right.

100
00:03:08,234 --> 00:03:10,549
Coca-Cola back to.

101
00:03:11,349 --> 00:03:12,819
Let's just say the beginning for you.

102
00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:12,879
Yeah.

103
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:13,899
Your why.

104
00:03:14,079 --> 00:03:17,019
So I was probably like 15 years old.

105
00:03:17,019 --> 00:03:17,979
Well, I was younger than that.

106
00:03:17,979 --> 00:03:18,999
I was probably 14.

107
00:03:19,269 --> 00:03:23,499
But I would always take pictures of
like my family and I like decided to

108
00:03:23,499 --> 00:03:25,419
like make my own photography page.

109
00:03:25,689 --> 00:03:27,939
And the owner of Camera Shy,
I was actually friends with

110
00:03:27,939 --> 00:03:28,929
her daughter in high school.

111
00:03:28,929 --> 00:03:28,959
Oh.

112
00:03:29,409 --> 00:03:31,329
Um, she saw her name's Rebecca.

113
00:03:31,689 --> 00:03:35,229
Um, she saw like all my work and
she asked me to work for Camera Shy.

114
00:03:35,229 --> 00:03:36,669
So I've been at Camera Shy.

115
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:38,024
Since I was 16.

116
00:03:38,084 --> 00:03:38,324
Whoa.

117
00:03:39,134 --> 00:03:39,374
My goodness.

118
00:03:39,374 --> 00:03:40,154
So six years.

119
00:03:40,154 --> 00:03:41,924
So exactly two years now.

120
00:03:41,924 --> 00:03:43,649
I was gonna say it's two and a two years.

121
00:03:44,679 --> 00:03:47,204
I've been there for like
a long time and I love it.

122
00:03:47,804 --> 00:03:49,574
I can't see myself doing anything else.

123
00:03:49,574 --> 00:03:51,434
You can tell you're so
passionate about it.

124
00:03:51,434 --> 00:03:53,654
That's probably like why
I was getting so animated.

125
00:03:53,654 --> 00:03:55,814
Because you've done several
photo shoots for us.

126
00:03:55,814 --> 00:03:55,874
Yeah.

127
00:03:56,264 --> 00:03:57,794
Radio daybreak photos, y'all.

00:03:57,794 --> 00:04:00,614
This is the girl that
did 'em at Camera Shine.

The new image, the new cover art,
all the stuff we That's, that's her.

130
00:04:03,944 --> 00:04:04,274
That's all.

131
00:04:05,289 --> 00:04:07,389
The camera is a time machine.

132
00:04:07,449 --> 00:04:09,339
It is a time machine to the past.

133
00:04:09,339 --> 00:04:10,119
If you, that's what you do.

134
00:04:10,119 --> 00:04:14,229
You kept, you're capturing, do you only do
it in studio or do you go outside studio?

135
00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:14,904
We go outside too.

136
00:04:14,904 --> 00:04:15,544
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

137
00:04:15,564 --> 00:04:18,909
We go, especially in Daybreak, we
go outside and it's beautiful here,

138
00:04:18,909 --> 00:04:20,799
so we have a lot of places to shoot.

139
00:04:20,859 --> 00:04:21,039
Now.

140
00:04:21,039 --> 00:04:23,469
Are you asking permission before
you get to these people's yards

141
00:04:23,469 --> 00:04:26,949
and get ask for forgiveness?

142
00:04:26,949 --> 00:04:27,819
Not permission.

143
00:04:29,109 --> 00:04:29,979
We've learned that.

144
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:30,129
Yeah.

145
00:04:31,489 --> 00:04:34,579
And that is one thing that we
wanna bring up is there are

146
00:04:34,579 --> 00:04:36,109
a lot of locations out here.

147
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:36,169

The moments for families like and
watching their kids grow Yeah.

150
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:45,679
Is like the best thing
that I could like ever do.

151
00:04:45,679 --> 00:04:49,069
Like those are just moments
that most people can't catch.

152
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:52,609
And so the fact that I get to do
that for them aw is the best feeling.

153
00:04:52,609 --> 00:04:55,219
Heart cry because it goes so fast.

154
00:04:55,219 --> 00:04:55,369

those in studio seasonal fun shots.

little more formal maybe.

Or do you guys have the
outdoor shoot out by Okra Lake?

172
00:05:29,109 --> 00:05:31,509
What's your favorite, like what's the
best location you've ever went to?

173
00:05:31,509 --> 00:05:32,679
It doesn't have to be around daybreak.

174
00:05:32,679 --> 00:05:35,379
If you've just been, maybe you went to
Iceland, maybe you went, do you realize

175
00:05:35,379 --> 00:05:37,299
you're calling, you're asking it for time.

176
00:05:38,409 --> 00:05:40,809
That's a hard one for personal reason.

177
00:05:40,809 --> 00:05:42,549
It could be for whatever reason, isn't it?

178
00:05:42,549 --> 00:05:42,939
Possibly.

179
00:05:42,939 --> 00:05:45,399
There's the secret spot
in Draper that I love.

180
00:05:45,409 --> 00:05:45,879
There you go.

181
00:05:45,889 --> 00:05:48,529
You know like the flight park area,
it's kind of up there, but you go

182
00:05:48,529 --> 00:05:49,789
a little bit past the flight park.

183
00:05:49,789 --> 00:05:50,374
I don't give it away there.

184
00:05:50,779 --> 00:05:51,469
It's in sun crash.

185
00:05:51,529 --> 00:05:55,579
I'm gonna get a nap outta
probably where you wash your drum.

186
00:05:55,579 --> 00:05:57,134
It could be probably somewhere around it.

187
00:05:57,409 --> 00:05:58,849
It's a vortex or something there.

188
00:05:59,809 --> 00:06:00,559
You just go up there.

189
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:02,389
Is that like a spot you would go?

190
00:06:02,949 --> 00:06:06,134
Not take pho, like you might go up there,
just go to meditate or when it's on.

191
00:06:07,634 --> 00:06:11,139
I'm just trying to pinpoint where
is, well, I'm sitting right here.

192
00:06:11,139 --> 00:06:14,019
You have to talk to math bags also.

193
00:06:14,229 --> 00:06:15,399
BLE Fork is beautiful.

194
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:15,909
Where is this?

195
00:06:16,059 --> 00:06:16,629
Tipple Fork.

196
00:06:16,689 --> 00:06:17,109
Okay.

197
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:18,789
We do like minis up there too.

198
00:06:19,149 --> 00:06:23,139
Are kids like favorite of your
subjects to photograph or, or?

199
00:06:23,139 --> 00:06:25,899
I feel like all of it, it's
just mainly families for me.

200
00:06:25,989 --> 00:06:27,309
I've seen you in that element.

201
00:06:27,309 --> 00:06:27,939
That's why I'm asking.

202
00:06:27,939 --> 00:06:28,329
I'm like.

203
00:06:28,644 --> 00:06:30,864
Yeah, I love meeting like new families.

204
00:06:30,864 --> 00:06:31,884
That's like the best.

205
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:34,164
I've been in there, I've been in
there a whole bunch of times and I

206
00:06:34,164 --> 00:06:38,634
always see families coming out as I'm
coming in and they're always smiling.

207
00:06:38,634 --> 00:06:38,635
Smiling.

208
00:06:38,814 --> 00:06:39,054
Yep.

209
00:06:39,144 --> 00:06:41,064
I don't know if it's laughing
gas or something pumped at it.

210
00:06:41,634 --> 00:06:43,644
I think about like getting my kids photos.

211
00:06:43,644 --> 00:06:46,554
'cause I've got four, you know,
four biological, four bonus kids.

212
00:06:46,554 --> 00:06:48,864
But I think about getting
ours even as adults.

213
00:06:48,894 --> 00:06:49,074
Okay.

214
00:06:49,074 --> 00:06:51,144
We're talking about my eight kids now.

215
00:06:51,234 --> 00:06:52,374
It's like pulling teeth.

216
00:06:52,374 --> 00:06:52,674
It is.

217
00:06:52,674 --> 00:06:53,694
It is not fun.

218
00:06:53,694 --> 00:06:54,114
But we have.

219
00:06:54,789 --> 00:06:57,399
Full disclosure, she has
not taken our family photos.

220
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:00,639
Not talking about McKayla, I'm
talking about other photographers

221
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:01,419
potentially, you know?

222
00:07:02,484 --> 00:07:02,774
Yeah.

223
00:07:03,234 --> 00:07:04,094
The photographer process.

224
00:07:04,364 --> 00:07:04,654
Yeah.

225
00:07:04,929 --> 00:07:06,189
And it's the photographers too.

226
00:07:06,189 --> 00:07:10,149
I tell you personally, and this is
me just being out there, but I have

227
00:07:10,149 --> 00:07:13,449
literally told my wife, Lindsay, I was
like, we, we have our photographer,

228
00:07:13,449 --> 00:07:17,529
we, we've got our photographer for
our boys because they loved you.

229
00:07:17,529 --> 00:07:18,249
And I was like, well.

230
00:07:18,414 --> 00:07:19,609
They're gonna grow together.

231
00:07:19,729 --> 00:07:20,299
That's true.

232
00:07:20,299 --> 00:07:21,064
It really is true.

233
00:07:21,174 --> 00:07:23,544
They probably get to know
you and connect with you too.

234
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:23,824
Mm-hmm.

235
00:07:23,824 --> 00:07:26,569
Because you have been there for so
long, which is probably one of the

236
00:07:26,569 --> 00:07:28,729
things I would imagine about your job.

237
00:07:28,729 --> 00:07:29,689
That's a lot of fun.

238
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:33,469
The day time, I'm, I'm gonna book a two
hour thing and I'm gonna drop 'em off.

239
00:07:33,469 --> 00:07:37,609
And me and Lindsay are, go watch a movie
'cause you got on daycare, free daycare

240
00:07:37,669 --> 00:07:39,619
like, and then you get photos of return.

241
00:07:39,649 --> 00:07:41,479
So, oh, watch it now.

242
00:07:41,479 --> 00:07:43,279
You can have a lot of people on it.

243
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:45,379
Say, Hey, drop my kid off here on Monday.

244
00:07:45,379 --> 00:07:46,864
You know what Mikayla's doing for us?

245
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:49,649
Right after this, what is,
what is taking pictures.

246
00:07:49,709 --> 00:07:52,799
Taking pictures of my little grand pup.

247
00:07:53,939 --> 00:07:54,719
Oh, no peaches.

248
00:07:54,899 --> 00:07:56,579
No, she's taking care of peaches.

249
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:57,084
I can't tell you.

250
00:07:57,089 --> 00:07:57,869
You talking about peaches.

251
00:07:57,869 --> 00:08:00,599
I thought this was an actual
human being is here somewhere.

252
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:02,489
I don't know if she'll make
an appearance on the pod.

253
00:08:02,489 --> 00:08:03,929
This is a dog that you guys have been.

254
00:08:03,934 --> 00:08:05,789
This is, this is my grand pup.

255
00:08:06,089 --> 00:08:06,179
Mikayla.

256
00:08:06,179 --> 00:08:07,859
They brought up like red
carpet and everything.

257
00:08:11,799 --> 00:08:12,399
Photography.

258
00:08:14,289 --> 00:08:17,109
Justin, you should go get peaches
and we will have her make a roll

259
00:08:17,109 --> 00:08:18,879
if you're end peaches on the show.

260
00:08:19,359 --> 00:08:21,699
What else can we talk about
that we haven't already that

261
00:08:21,699 --> 00:08:23,319
you wanna make sure people know?

262
00:08:23,349 --> 00:08:25,719
Yeah, or maybe you got some
kind of story out there.

263
00:08:25,809 --> 00:08:26,679
Big news breaking.

264
00:08:26,679 --> 00:08:27,699
You got breaking news for us.

265
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,909
I know that there's a lot of changes that
are gonna be happening to camera shy.

266
00:08:30,909 --> 00:08:32,469
So date tuned for that.

267
00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:33,789
I think it's gonna be a good change.

268
00:08:33,819 --> 00:08:35,409
I think it's gonna help our business grow.

269
00:08:35,409 --> 00:08:36,939
So that's what we're all about here.

270
00:08:36,969 --> 00:08:37,929
That's what we're all about here.

271
00:08:37,929 --> 00:08:38,679
Ray Day break.

272
00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:39,879
We want, where's peachy?

273
00:08:39,909 --> 00:08:42,009
Oh, this is my grandpa.

274
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:42,969
She is, so, yeah.

275
00:08:42,969 --> 00:08:47,259
She like, if you can shoot photos of
this little peachy, are you serious?

276
00:08:47,259 --> 00:08:47,979
You can get anyone.

277
00:08:48,724 --> 00:08:49,014
Okay.

278
00:08:51,294 --> 00:08:56,109
I thought it was a, I made, oh, okay.

279
00:08:56,109 --> 00:08:57,369
She makes, she, she fucks you.

280
00:08:57,459 --> 00:08:59,649
Obviously she knows who her grandma is.

281
00:09:01,029 --> 00:09:01,269
What is that?

282
00:09:02,289 --> 00:09:02,949
Peach.

283
00:09:03,369 --> 00:09:03,849
She loves me.

284
00:09:04,869 --> 00:09:09,099
You are the dog whisperer or
the closest thing to a dog in

285
00:09:09,099 --> 00:09:10,659
the room that she's called.

286
00:09:11,859 --> 00:09:13,299
She is a miracle worker.

287
00:09:13,329 --> 00:09:13,719
I am.

288
00:09:13,899 --> 00:09:16,809
If she can deal with like two
little boys running around.

289
00:09:16,809 --> 00:09:17,019
Oh yeah.

290
00:09:17,229 --> 00:09:19,869
She got all the crazy with
Santa Claus in the room.

291
00:09:19,929 --> 00:09:20,949
She can do any, she did.

292
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:21,609
She had mine.

293
00:09:21,789 --> 00:09:22,569
She can do anything.

294
00:09:22,569 --> 00:09:22,929
Yeah.

295
00:09:23,169 --> 00:09:23,499
Yeah.

296
00:09:23,499 --> 00:09:25,209
So some changes are going on.

297
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:28,989
Positive things gonna be
growing potentially or, or

298
00:09:28,989 --> 00:09:30,219
restructuring making some.

299
00:09:30,444 --> 00:09:31,194
Some waves.

300
00:09:31,194 --> 00:09:31,524
Yeah.

301
00:09:31,584 --> 00:09:34,344
We didn't really talk about
the backstory of kitty canons.

302
00:09:34,344 --> 00:09:37,884
I want to jump into that because I
know that there's a relationship there

303
00:09:37,884 --> 00:09:39,654
between camera shy and kitty canon.

304
00:09:39,744 --> 00:09:39,834
Yeah.

305
00:09:39,864 --> 00:09:44,094
Rebecca, the owner of Cam Shi, um,
I'm pretty sure she worked well.

306
00:09:44,094 --> 00:09:44,664
I am sure.

307
00:09:44,669 --> 00:09:44,709
Yeah.

308
00:09:44,714 --> 00:09:45,654
She worked for.

309
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:46,549
Kitty canid.

310
00:09:46,549 --> 00:09:48,409
I know that they're related somehow.

311
00:09:48,409 --> 00:09:50,149
I don't know how, but they're family.

312
00:09:50,359 --> 00:09:51,619
So Photography business.

313
00:09:51,619 --> 00:09:51,679
Yeah.

314
00:09:52,189 --> 00:09:55,669
And Becky has actually known
me since I was like, probably

315
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:57,079
little, little like two.

316
00:09:57,169 --> 00:09:59,149
She's taken my, she has
such a, a broad name.

317
00:09:59,149 --> 00:09:59,719
I just love it.

318
00:09:59,719 --> 00:10:00,019
Right.

319
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:02,449
She used to take your photo.

320
00:10:02,449 --> 00:10:03,229
Yeah, she did.

321
00:10:03,409 --> 00:10:04,159
Oh my word.

322
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,739
So this has really come
full circle for you.

323
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:07,789
I didn't know that either.

324
00:10:08,359 --> 00:10:08,599
Oh my God.

325
00:10:08,599 --> 00:10:08,809
Yeah.

326
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:10,309
It's just really fun to Wow.

327
00:10:10,309 --> 00:10:11,089
Find that out.

328
00:10:11,424 --> 00:10:15,714
But so she started at Kitty Can as
having her own picture taken by family

329
00:10:15,714 --> 00:10:20,604
members that grew this company or
branched off rather into Ken Shi.

330
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:22,554
What's the chances that you've done that?

331
00:10:22,554 --> 00:10:27,059
For what if mine, maybe Mike Hill branch
off might be a no, he ain't doing nothing.

332
00:10:27,489 --> 00:10:29,019
He's like, no, no, no.

333
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:31,259
He do it.

334
00:10:31,749 --> 00:10:32,919
You have that impact.

335
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:35,439
You never know somebody
that you photographer.

336
00:10:35,439 --> 00:10:36,069
Yeah, it's true.

337
00:10:36,459 --> 00:10:39,249
That's fun to think about,
like put yourself in there.

338
00:10:39,254 --> 00:10:39,609
It's fun.

339
00:10:39,609 --> 00:10:40,029
Yeah.

340
00:10:40,299 --> 00:10:43,569
We get teenagers in there a lot
that say like, you have a fun job.

341
00:10:43,569 --> 00:10:44,919
Like I wanna do this.

342
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:45,639
I'm like, do it.

343
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:48,099
I'm gonna tell you right now, anybody
that comes to you and does that say.

344
00:10:48,669 --> 00:10:51,249
Be my shadow and see how
serious I'm, I'm serious.

345
00:10:51,339 --> 00:10:52,179
See if I'm serious.

346
00:10:52,179 --> 00:10:54,879
And if they come in there and they
show up and be your shadow, you

347
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,699
know, you know, right there they're
like, oh, not always did a cool

348
00:10:57,699 --> 00:10:59,289
job, but this is the one for me.

349
00:10:59,349 --> 00:10:59,679
Yeah.

350
00:10:59,709 --> 00:11:01,449
So I think you should try that out.

351
00:11:01,449 --> 00:11:04,509
You know, I keep trying to arm
twist her thinking about, you

352
00:11:04,509 --> 00:11:05,799
know, riff roles and networking.

353
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:09,819
I keep trying to arm twist her to get
over to BNI and take head shots for us.

354
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:11,879
State of BI like, we
need some new headshot.

355
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:13,139
And you do that too, right?

356
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:16,619
If you're a business owner, you
need a headshot is your girl.

357
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,249
That's right.

358
00:11:17,249 --> 00:11:20,399
BNI is on Wednesday
mornings at 9:00 AM Yep.

359
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:21,329
At the DCC.

360
00:11:21,329 --> 00:11:23,129
That's the Daybreak community center.

361
00:11:23,189 --> 00:11:23,639
That's right.

362
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:25,559
Stand up by the the,
the elementary school.

363
00:11:26,459 --> 00:11:26,669
Yeah.

364
00:11:26,669 --> 00:11:28,949
And any business owner really
should come out there just to

365
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:30,389
network, just to feel the vibe.

366
00:11:30,629 --> 00:11:32,759
That's what we always get
with our, we we get told.

367
00:11:33,429 --> 00:11:34,659
Different vibe from the beginning.

368
00:11:34,659 --> 00:11:37,869
You've been at other networking events
here, they all get a different vibe.

369
00:11:37,869 --> 00:11:40,389
Like this is, it's, this
is a true great location.

370
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:43,374
Like it's kind of the fun thing, special
location community is the networking

371
00:11:43,394 --> 00:11:45,669
and the the community about it.

372
00:11:45,669 --> 00:11:48,974
The relationships, like that's
why a lot of people move here and.

373
00:11:49,944 --> 00:11:51,384
Really appreciate what you do.

374
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:53,094
We're gonna get her over
there for head shots.

375
00:11:53,724 --> 00:11:54,264
Let's do it.

376
00:11:54,264 --> 00:11:55,074
We're gonna hard your game.

377
00:11:55,194 --> 00:11:57,714
I'm gonna be in trouble if I
don't ask this last question.

378
00:11:58,314 --> 00:11:59,574
I know spring is coming.

379
00:11:59,574 --> 00:12:03,204
Do you guys have any promos
coming up or any promos for our

380
00:12:03,204 --> 00:12:07,014
daybreak listeners should have
a, like for our bunny sessions.

381
00:12:07,014 --> 00:12:07,404
We should.

382
00:12:07,404 --> 00:12:08,154
I know that.

383
00:12:08,424 --> 00:12:11,514
I know that for like our bunnies
that we're doing at our studio,

384
00:12:11,514 --> 00:12:13,194
it's just a regular session, so.

385
00:12:13,554 --> 00:12:15,234
Um, they should have promos going on it.

386
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,784
Do you guys keep them in studio
for about a month, couple weeks?

387
00:12:17,784 --> 00:12:18,054
Yes.

388
00:12:18,054 --> 00:12:20,221
I think it's like a, like almost two
months and then what, two months?

389
00:12:20,221 --> 00:12:23,094
And then what you send 'em down
to make stew or something out.

390
00:12:23,214 --> 00:12:24,324
Oh my God.

391
00:12:24,324 --> 00:12:26,244
He actually put 'em up for adoption too.

392
00:12:26,664 --> 00:12:30,444
People like in daybreak or like any of
our sessions sign up, we have like a page.

393
00:12:30,744 --> 00:12:32,484
So they can sign up and take a money home.

394
00:12:33,684 --> 00:12:36,024
Oh look, they're doing
good in the community too.

395
00:12:36,024 --> 00:12:36,084
Yeah.

396
00:12:36,384 --> 00:12:40,614
This is our innovator of Daybreak,
McKayla Larson with camera Shop manager.

397
00:12:40,674 --> 00:12:41,934
Big changes happening over there.

398
00:12:41,934 --> 00:12:42,624
Be ready for that.

399
00:12:42,624 --> 00:12:43,554
Positive things.

400
00:12:43,584 --> 00:12:44,274
Positive things.

401
00:12:44,274 --> 00:12:44,484
Yep.

402
00:12:44,484 --> 00:12:45,654
Changes should be positive.

403
00:12:45,774 --> 00:12:46,554
Absolutely.

404
00:12:46,909 --> 00:12:47,629
We're gonna see you again.

405
00:12:47,659 --> 00:12:48,379
I just thought about it.

406
00:12:48,379 --> 00:12:48,799
I do.

407
00:12:48,859 --> 00:12:49,129
What's that?

408
00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:51,619
Wish you just have special
guest host for Radio Dig break

409
00:12:51,619 --> 00:12:52,819
and Caleb could fill in for me.

410
00:12:53,629 --> 00:12:55,699
Yeah, I mean, we already kind
of did that when we were like

411
00:12:55,699 --> 00:12:58,819
in the room and going naturally.

412
00:12:58,819 --> 00:13:00,469
You just work yourself out of a job.

413
00:13:00,474 --> 00:13:00,644
I did.

414
00:13:01,444 --> 00:13:02,044
I got a new job.

415
00:13:02,384 --> 00:13:02,684
She did.

00:13:05,629 --> 00:13:06,559
We'll see you guys next time.

417
