00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:02.000
We're excited for those stories.
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:07.280
Yeah, but I feel like the best story to tell, the first story that should be told is yours.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.240
So I mean, why not get into that today and share a little bit of who you are?
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.519
I've had a podcast that went crazy on TV and stuff.
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:16.160
What?
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:18.079
Co-hosted, co-hosted a podcast.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.480
Yeah, um, the She Shines Podcast.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.160
Um, shout out to Alex.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:23.920
She's still my number one girly.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:42.719
She's my amazing co-host, and for 125 episodes, we um got to interview some amazing entrepreneurs, and during COVID, it got picked up by Comcast Rise as a TV show on their platform and did all the producing and editing for that show.
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.799
Behind the shine is for women who are building something real and keep finding reasons to wait.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.320
The one who's doing all the work but dimming herself in the process.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.240
Every episode we go behind it.
00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:02.560
The real story, the lesson it took longer than it should have to learn, and one thing, actionable thing, you can do this week to shine.
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.280
So, ready or not, let's shine.
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.560
Hey guys, welcome to Behind the Shine.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.640
I am your host now, I guess, Anna Lara Summer.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.079
And I'm your co-host.
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.400
Yes, Jamaica Marshall.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.920
So this is the Behind the Shine podcast here at Shine Studio in Charleston, South Carolina.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.959
The goal of this podcast, well, this whole podcast became a thing in and of itself, um, kind of got out of control.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.400
We were just supposed to record some behind-the-scenes content for social media.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:38.879
Yes.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.879
And it became a full-fledged production.
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.040
So now we have a podcast and we're here today.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:54.719
There's so many amazing human beings in Charleston and people that have come set foot in this studio in this space that I love their story.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:00.400
I think they're amazing and they need a light a lot, a spotlight on them, you know.
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:09.280
Um, so having past renters, past Shine Studio clients come in and really share their story I think is really important.
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:10.800
And that's what we're doing.
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:18.719
So this isn't obviously a super polished, pristine production in terms of content, like what we're saying right now.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.080
This is really off the cuff.
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.199
This is behind the shine.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.240
We're really showing you how things get get done here.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.439
I really like what it takes to have a business and a life.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:36.000
Um, there, like I said, there's just so many amazing stories that we get to dive into that I'm really excited to to share more.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:36.639
Yeah.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.039
Yeah.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.439
Yeah.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.680
And I kind of just wanted to be here.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:40.960
Stop it.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.280
No, Jamaica is like the podcast queen.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.159
Are you kidding me?
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:46.479
No.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.639
Jamaica is like when you sit down to record a podcast, she will keep you on track.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.360
She will be like, okay, but but what's the purpose?
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.000
You know, um, I yeah, she's just so grateful to have you.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.240
I'm only here so I don't get fined.
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.719
But no, yeah.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.319
Um, I like the idea of you starting a podcast for the studio.
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:09.680
That's why I wanted to be here.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.360
I'm like, I yes, I work here.
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.479
And a lot of the times when I'm working here, I'm working here by myself.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.000
And a lot of people think that it's mine.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.360
And I'm like, no, it's not mine.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.360
You know, I've only been here for a couple of months.
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.479
Like, she's here.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.400
She was on maternity leave, but she's back.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.039
She's back.
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:23.919
She's back.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.159
And now that you're back, I feel like your face should be out there more.
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.879
And I feel like there's too many people who ask so many questions.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.319
Why not just come on here?
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:32.719
Yeah.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.120
And just make it really easy.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:44.800
And then also in the process, show the people who are interested in using the studio how to use it, how we would use it.
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:45.759
Exactly.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.199
Because some people come in here prepared, some people come in here unprepared.
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:49.520
Yeah.
00:03:49.680 --> 00:04:01.439
So we might as well just share all the tips and tricks on how to use the studio in this space and like get the full production going because we've had people who can come in here and record one hour and four um one episode in four hours.
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.080
Oh, we have people who can come in here and do 10 episodes in four hours.
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:06.879
Exactly.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.560
And we really want to
Load full transcript
like, you know, have people maximize their their time here in the studio.
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:29.279
And also, you know, with the purpose of this podcast, like I said, it started out as just literally we're gonna walk you through some FAQs, but now we are here, so you get to really see the studio itself, see what it's capable of, what we're capable of, um, how we can customize things.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.879
So every time you tune in, it's gonna look a little different, and that's on purpose.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:40.160
And then also, like I said, to really shine a spotlight on some of these incredible business owners that that enter these doors.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.000
We're excited for those stories.
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.279
Yeah, but I feel like the best story to tell, the first story that should be told is yours.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.079
So I mean, why not get into that today and share a little bit of who you are?
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.240
Yes, since we will be having people come on here interviewing people and sharing their stories.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.160
I feel like the best story to tell is yours first.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.079
So I'm going to, that's what I'm we're gonna do today.
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.519
Today I'm going to ask Anna.
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:04.480
You're the host.
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.959
I'll be the host today.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.079
Then ask Anna a few questions and just kind of get to know more behind Shine.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
Yeah, behind the okay, yeah.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:15.920
Yeah.
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.279
Who are you?
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:18.160
Well, yeah.
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.519
So for those of you who don't know, I'm Jamaica.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.360
I am a local content creator, photographer, videographer, mom, yada yada, the literature.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.079
Super one, serial entrepreneur.
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.680
Let's just go ahead and say that.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:38.560
And when it comes to podcasting, it's something that I never really thought I was going to do, but ended up at a podcast studio.
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.720
The story that leads you there is crazy.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.720
Like all of our stories, I guess you can say.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.199
Absolutely.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:48.560
But now we're here today, and I feel like why not use the best of what you have?
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.240
And when I was introduced into Anna, it took what one conversation for us to sit down.
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:55.040
Literally.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:56.000
Literally.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:57.360
So what are we doing?
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.360
To sit down and be like, You're hired.
00:05:59.439 --> 00:05:59.839
Let's do this.
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.759
All of your ideas are not crazy.
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.160
You are just as crazy as me.
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:04.639
I guess.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:05.360
Crazy me.
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.199
Yeah, you're crazy match is not crazy.
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.720
Like that's why we're here.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:10.240
So it's not really crazy.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:11.920
Let's just do them together.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.199
So, yeah.
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.720
So I guess before we start, we should say, I should ask you, how are you feeling right now?
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.800
Uh well, sitting in this spot particularly, it feels like out of place a little bit, but also kind of good to be back.
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:25.199
Yeah.
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.120
Like I mean, you're three months postpartum.
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:27.759
That too.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.000
Yeah.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.360
A little crazy, a little crazy.
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.639
So yeah, I have four and a half year old twins, and then um little baby boy.
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.839
He's three and a half, almost four months at the time of recording.
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.759
Um, my sweet baby James.
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.680
And uh yeah, just hanging, hanging in there.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.160
Um, thank goodness he is the best sleeper in the house.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.160
So that that you're lucky with that girl, telling me.
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.439
We lucky so grateful, so grateful.
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.360
Um, but no, feel feeling good.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:01.040
So it like I said, kind of kind of weird to be back in the host seat or the interviewer's seat.
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.639
This isn't your first podcast.
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:03.680
It's not my first podcast.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.639
No, not my first time.
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.879
You don't tell everyone that you need to toot your own horn, miss.
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.839
I've had a podcast that went crazy on TV and stuff.
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:12.399
What?
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.319
Co-hosted, co-hosted a podcast.
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.800
Yeah, um, the She Shines Podcast.
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.399
Um, shout out to Alex.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.240
She's still my number one girly.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.079
She was my amazing co-host, and for 125 episodes, we um got to interview some amazing entrepreneurs.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:38.720
And during COVID, it got picked up by Comcast Rise as a TV show on their platform and did all the producing and editing for that show.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.040
And then I have my twins, and something had to change.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:52.319
And I always said, if I had, you know, a team or someone to um, you know, help with that, the back end side of things, like we would have kept going for sure.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.360
But it was it was just the two of us.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.040
She would do all the show notes, I would do all the,
like I said, the the visuals and things and the editing and the distribution.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:11.040
But um, that's why when we opened the physical space, I was like, well, now I can provide that for for other people and help amplify other people's voices.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.120
And I guess now we're doing that.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.720
So instead of creating the space just for yourself, you decided to actually share it with everyone, which is really cool.
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.160
Yeah, well, community is like everything for me.
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:40.159
Like it's such a big part of, and I'm sure we'll get into it a little bit, but um you know, just my story and journey and you know, being willing to share with other people and how people have poured into me and kind of paying it forward, but yeah, fostering that creative community, I think is it's needed.
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.360
It's all yeah.
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.879
And you did it very well.
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:52.879
Because this space, I don't know if you haven't been to Shine Studio, this space, I don't know how it wasn't as popular when I first ran into it.
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.159
Like I was like, how did I need to be able to do it?
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.039
Because I needed you because I needed you.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:12.320
Yeah, because like when I came here and I was everything that you can get with the studio room, with the big open space in the front, plus the middle room, like three rooms and one all to yourself with AC in Charleston.
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.279
Oh, with AC.
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:14.399
Sign me up.
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.840
AC is and you did it, you did it so well.
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:28.000
So I like how you took like your old background in podcasting and brought it into your daily life and like pivoted from motherhood into like full-on entrepreneur business owner.
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:40.240
Yeah, I mean, it's still like everything is full on, I feel like we're you know, up to everything with the with the boys, they're just getting more and more active and busy with school and and all the things.
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:50.799
So like being present for them while, you know, being present here, like there's definitely a lot to to juggle, but you know, that's I always say there's no such thing as balance.
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.039
It's just it's just ebbing and flowing.
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.320
Like, you know, there's a whole one of my favorite books.
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.799
Um, so I'll I'll try to link this in the show notes.
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:09.519
It's the one thing, and it has pictures if you're a visual person like me, and it literally has a chart of um it's kind of like this.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.600
So rather than things being balanced like 50-50, it ebbs and flows.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:20.879
Sometimes you're needed more with your family, and business has to take a
backseat, like it's more maybe 70-30 one day.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.600
Um it just it changes it does day to day.
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.519
So yeah, you do it wow.
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.080
Were you doing anything else besides podcasting before the studio?
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:31.120
Before the studio.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.039
So a lot of things.
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.440
My background is is varied, but how far back you want to go?
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.360
You you tell me.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.799
Like, how did what anything that brought you to Shine?
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:47.840
Like what were you doing that kind of pivot you into actually opening a studio instead of whatever you were doing?
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:48.399
Yeah.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:55.840
So I've always wanted a studio since I started in brand photography in 20, late 2017, 2018.
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.480
I only ever worked with female owned businesses.
00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.679
That was like my niche.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:04.159
I told my husband when I picked up a camera, I was said, I don't want to shoot weddings or newborns.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:10.240
Like, I think it like shout out to the family photographers and the wedding photographers because that is a special breed of human.
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:10.480
Yes.
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.360
Kimberly.
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.600
Uh looking at a two-year-old.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.559
Um, like truly a special breed of human.
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.080
And um, I was like, I only want to work with women, women-owned businesses.
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:25.039
And um, I was told repeatedly by a lot of people, well, you're not gonna make any money then.
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.720
And I'm like, well, I also probably won't be as like I will probably be my better self, you know.
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.000
Like uh won't be happy.
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.679
Yeah, I would I just I know myself enough to know that I cannot do that.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.879
Um and thankfully people listened and I just leaned into that.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:52.720
It was before like brand photography was a a niche, like there wasn't a word, so I call it like business owner photography, and um yeah, just kind of carved out my my people and OG.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.519
OG, like I sound so old, like that's what that sounds like.
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.799
Like I was a brand photographer before it was called anything.
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.639
Like, wow, really dating yourself, anyways.
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:13.759
Yeah, so did that for for several years, and through in COVID, I think picked up video and throughout all this, we had the the podcast going on.
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:22.639
And I've lived in a lot of different places, and in every place that I've lived, Philly, Austin, most notably, there were studios that you could rent.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:29.200
So when weather was kind of crummy or people needed like a shot in an office or something, you could rent a space.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.559
And when we moved to Charleston, there was not the case.
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.360
It was not the case.
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.159
No, it wasn't.
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.799
There's been like a couple more pop-ups since which is awesome.
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:38.399
And I think so many are needed.
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.799
They all have their own, you know, special special flavor, which is really cool to see.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:48.240
Um but or traffic, or yes, or parking, or whatever it is.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:48.480
Yeah.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.480
They all have their own ETAs, they all have their own thing, yes.
00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:01.200
And uh, so yeah, it was definitely needed here, but I think even if there had been a hundred studios, it still was on the heart to to do it.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:01.759
Yeah.
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.879
And um I think that's really important.
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:17.840
Like when you want to do something, is to just know that it's been placed on placed on your heart for a reason, and you should listen and lean into that, and no one is going to do it like you, which sounds so cliche.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.120
I sound so cliche.
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.240
It does, and people always say it and people always think it's cringe, but like really no one's going to do it like you.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.600
But no, and if even if they copied verbatim what you were doing, it's not I kind of hate this word, but authentic.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.080
Like it's not true to that person.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:40.320
So lean in, I think, with like your heart, like what's been placed on you, and I think how you underwit it.
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.399
People just think that I can just put something out there, and because of I think it's so good, people are gonna buy it.
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.799
But no, people will literally buy things for your personality.
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.039
Yeah.
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.039
They'll look at you and be like, I don't like her.
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.120
I'm not going to listen to this.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.480
I'm not going to listen to this.
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.440
There are people that will just like keep on swiping through this.
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:06.320
And I remember uh my oldest brother, he his like high school graduation speech.
00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.480
Um, he was super smart and he was valedictorian.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.000
Um, I know.
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.440
But he he literally said he always kind of marched to the beat of his own drum, anyways.
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:23.039
But um, he said, People, some people are gonna love you for what you do, some people are gonna hate you for what you do, and some just won't care.
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:32.320
And
that's always I was in the sixth grade when he graduated, and that has always stuck with me because it's like, why spend any ounce of energy worrying?
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.600
Like, am I, you know, seeking the approval of every single person?
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.639
Like when half the time they're not even paying attention.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.759
Um, and other times, like maybe they're just in their own world.
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.639
And there has their own thing.
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:44.480
Yeah, everyone, everyone has their own thing.
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:50.159
So why, you know, like I don't know, why spend any any ounce?
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.440
Like, just do you, boo.
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.039
Yeah, just do you.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:56.399
Um yeah, that always always stuck with me.
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:56.960
Okay.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:57.679
Yeah.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.960
Yeah, as it should.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.519
I mean, I feel like you're on the right path.
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:02.639
Yeah, thank you.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:03.039
Thank you.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.159
And I'm glad that you didn't let outside noise stop you.
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:06.639
Yeah.
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:10.799
Because yes, there was a few other studios out here, but you came here, you did it.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.320
And I know it probably wasn't hard coming out here and opening a studio.
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:15.600
Oh, it was ext, yeah.
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:17.759
No, it was definitely like it was a huge risk.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:22.080
I mean, you know, doing that with my boys were two at the time.
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:27.200
Which sounds insane now that I'm looking back, I'm like, um, yeah, they were two.
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.600
I'd been looking at his for a space.
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.879
Were they two?
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:31.919
2024?
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.240
Yeah.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:32.799
Well, yeah.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.000
What they're four now.
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:34.240
Yeah.
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.279
This has been open for two years.
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:35.759
Wild.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.799
Yeah, they were two and a half.
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.600
Shine studios celebrate their two years in June.
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:40.879
Congratulations.
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.480
I missed my own birthday.
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.360
Yeah, no, it's it's been it's been nuts.
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.279
Um, like a crazy couple of years since moving here and and opening this.
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:59.279
And honestly, even just finding the right space um took time um amongst, you know, raising twins.
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.759
And and I have to say thank you for allow like trusting me with your baby.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:05.919
Oh, this is like your fourth baby.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.679
Baby, it really is the fourth baby.
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.000
Yeah.
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.279
And you went away.
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.679
You went away for what three months, only knowing me for like what two weeks?
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.000
And then here's the piece.
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.279
Um, it's yours.
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.279
Well, hey, we're still standing, we're thriving.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.399
Um, yeah, no, shout out to Jamaica.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:25.120
Thank you so much.
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:25.840
I appreciate it.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.960
Like, I really like working with you.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.919
I was telling my husband, sometimes I have to remember and like remind myself like, this is my boss.
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.039
That's such a weird way.
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.440
I don't know.
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.039
This is my boss.
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.320
I know she's just a girl, just like me and all, but this is my boss.
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.200
I'm just a girl.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.759
I think it was you were texting me outfits.
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:42.720
What are you wearing?
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:44.559
And I was just like, Oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna wear this.
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.519
I think I'm gonna wear that.
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.360
And I was like, Oh, wait, this is my boss, you know.
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.279
We're coordinating out calm it down.
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.000
I know we're gonna work, you still have to do what she says.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.360
No, I was literally just asking, like, hey, like, it's gonna be kind of a formal event.
00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.879
Like, I think I'm gonna wear this.
00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.840
I would want to know.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:06.319
No, like, yeah, but I do like how you run things, and I would have to say this is probably my favorite job ever.
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.039
So thanks.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.480
So um, we have uh a lot of questions.
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.039
I've asked a few and you've kind of answered a lot of my questions.
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.319
So I'm gonna skip some of these.
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:16.640
Sure.
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.200
What was the hardest moment that you've had in owning the space?
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.720
In owning the space.
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.599
Because I would have to say it's doing your like you do this by yourself, correct?
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:27.599
With the help of your husband.
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.359
Yeah, my husband definitely helped.
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.480
I mean, what you see in here, he brought to life.
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.359
Like I had the vision and he he brought it.
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:36.880
He's the handyman to the handyman.
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.319
He's the handyman, he's he's a CFO.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.319
Um, he's uh yeah, he he he wears a lot of hats.
00:17:44.960 -->
00:17:51.920
Yeah, so it's it up until you set foot in the door, it was uh me and Cody.
00:17:52.400 --> 00:18:00.640
Um and like I said, Cody, he um just helped bring all this where we're sitting right now um a year ago was a storage room.
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.240
And um so that's wild to think about.
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:24.640
So I think that the hardest moment, maybe the hardest season was building all this, um, the the specifically renovating this room um into the podcast studio because we had three-year-old twins, which if you've ever had a three-year-old, is it's a lot, it's the whole thing.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:29.920
I've had they say terrible twos as like and then two of them at the same time.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.519
They were I honestly feel like they should have a phrase for each year because two twos.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:42.559
Like, no, like it's worse great twos was so much fun three agers, yeah, was uh three agers.
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.039
I like that.
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.039
Yeah, they were the the attitude.
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.000
I like that.
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:52.160
They were I love that they're so fun now that we're out of the threes.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.759
We're on the other side of that.
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.720
Praise Jesus.
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.400
Um, but yeah, they uh that was really tough.
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:10.079
Like he he's working, my husband working full time, coming over here in the evenings to hang the lights, which I if you look at these lights, um you can't see them right now.
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:10.799
Go to our Instagram.
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:11.920
Give you guys a tour.
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.519
Yeah, we'll do have to give you guys a tour.
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.880
For sure, do a full tour.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:20.880
If you can see these lights um and how they're hung, I don't know how he managed to do this by himself.
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.200
Like it's truly remarkable.
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.359
I honestly would have had to think that you had like a crew coming and set everything up in here.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:35.119
Crew was Cody, he was the whole crew, and um, I just had the vision on paper and ordered the stuff and was like, hey, I need this here.
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.440
And he executed beautifully.
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:45.039
And there's still there's still things, you know, in the in the works that that we want to continue to to evolve and and grow.
00:19:45.279 --> 00:20:00.720
Um, but that like I said, that season I think was the toughest just because we're stamping, like adding another layer kind of of unknown um and like a really demanding uh what's the word?
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:02.240
Demanding ordeal.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.680
Renovating it.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.960
It was the whole thing.
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:11.920
Um so tell me, tell me for those people who do not know how to book
and use the studio room.
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.799
Now that the podcast room is open, it hasn't been open that long.
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.039
It's been open since what November, almost a year.
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:22.480
I think September was when we had the the podcast party, and things have evolved since then.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.359
That's when we met.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:24.480
That's what all three of us met.
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:24.720
Yes.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.160
Even Clay behind the camera.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.240
Yay! He came here with me when we met you.
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:31.599
Yes, yes.
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:38.400
So because of it's so freshly new, I guess we should tell people how or what comes with this room when they book it.
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.960
Well, uh, one of us for one.
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:41.200
Yes.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.359
Um, so it's it's an assisted booking.
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:47.759
So you literally the only thing we say you have to touch is the mic.
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.519
If you want to come see my face during the day, come sit in this chair.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:53.279
Teller glasses, no glasses.
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.240
Like just saying.
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:04.240
But yeah, that's um one one of us is your assisted producer throughout.
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.400
Um, we're your on-site crew.
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:13.599
Um, so you know, any any furniture you see in the studio uh is able to be moved and arranged.
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.799
Um we just ask it, it's put back afterwards.
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.440
But we handle that when you book the podcast room.
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:26.640
Um so we'll we're here to really just bring the vision to life um from lighting to furniture, like the set.
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.359
Um, we have a couple of sides that, like we said, you're you're gonna get to see in some upcoming episodes, uh, just how we can customize things.
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.799
Um, and then one of us handles all the equipment for you and delivers your files afterwards.
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.559
It's we try to make things very simple uh for you.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:47.359
I would have to say if I would walk them through a typical day, yeah.
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.359
Like you come in, you tell me what you want, what side you want to be in, because there's multiple sides.
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:51.839
Yes.
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.000
There is multiple sides to this one room.
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.440
They it's nice.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.400
People just come in, they just sit and they get to mic check them.
00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.680
All you gotta do is all you gotta do.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.559
The mic.
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:00.960
That's it.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.440
That's it.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.200
Just come in and look pretty.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:03.599
Yes.
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.400
Ready to speak.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:05.839
You wouldn't even have to look pretty.
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:06.960
This is your show.
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:07.759
Hey.
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:14.720
I can be in pajamas with my hair up on a ponytail and not be judged by the coming with blankets and coffee cups.
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.039
Just get real cozy in here and chat for a while.
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.079
And I I think we should do some of those episodes.
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.119
Like I'm so for that.
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.839
Um pajamas they want sponsored?
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.880
Um send them this way.
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:27.279
Hey, hey.
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:28.799
I'll sit right here all cozy.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.480
We'll put on the couch for that.
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.200
Get a get our little get our little mugs here.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.640
Yeah.
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:36.880
So the room comes with everything you need, pretty much.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.440
The mics.
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:37.839
Yeah.
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.559
Mics, cameras, lights, camera action.
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.039
Like that's yeah, comes with every everything.
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.200
So best way to put it lights, camera action.
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:45.759
Yeah.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.799
That's it.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:47.839
That's it.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.480
You got your your crew is here to hype you up, keep you on track if you need.
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:59.839
In addition to the podcasting, um, Shine Studio also offers brand photography, event coverage, video.
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:06.400
And I always tell my clients, no matter what we're doing, it's as collaborative as you need it to be.
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:11.519
So if you have a specific vision that you want executed, like I'm so here for that.
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.759
Um, if you also show up and you're like, girl, I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.799
I need help.
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.079
I'm here for that too.
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:24.319
So, you know, it's from top to bottom, like we we can help kind of bring bring your vision to life.
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.079
And maybe you have an idea that just needs a little refining.
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:33.200
You need a little help, a little creative, um, creative boost, creative partner to tag team with.
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.599
And um, I think that's why it's been so fun having y'all here.
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:39.440
Um, and then not doing it by myself.
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.640
I'm such a team person.
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.319
I'm like, I need people.
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.480
Um, I'm an extroverted introvert.
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:55.839
And so like it anytime I can join forces with somebody and just go, it like energizes me so much um versus doing it by myself.
00:23:56.079 -->
00:23:56.480
Yeah.
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:02.400
We're very much two women who can do it all and do it all by ourselves, but I prefer to delegate.
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.599
Just don't want to.
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.119
Like, can I just be lazy in like one area, please?
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:07.920
Please.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.319
It's just it's a lot to it's a lot to manage.
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.200
It's a lot.
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.200
So why this show now, though?
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:26.960
Well, like I said, it started as this was just gonna be answering FAQs about the podcast room and really showing people what it what the potential is in here.
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.039
And are we really that basic?
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:30.799
No, we're not.
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:33.839
Can we do anything basically?
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.480
We never it's in the words of Tina Turner, we never ever do nothing nice and easy.
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:46.640
Um, yeah, that's why it's a whole podcast now with uh YouTube and Apple, Spotify, uh, wherever you listen to your podcast.
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:55.519
I enjoy because I would like for this to be kind of a blueprint for those people who don't know what to do.
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.279
Because, like we said before, we've had people come in here who are totally prepared.
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.680
And a lot of people don't know that they can prepare with you.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:14.960
If you don't know, they can prepare beforehand with you, plus you do the post-production afterwards and all of these other things that people are just so scared to come sit.
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.839
I think that's what I hear most from the guests who come in.
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.559
They're scared to start their own podcast because they don't know what to do.
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:20.880
Yeah.
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:27.039
Not knowing that this place is here and like we do the whole, we can help you beforehand, figure out your structure.
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.640
We can help you with the setup, break down everything.
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.920
Plus, afterwards, you don't know how to edit, we can help with that too.
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.759
Edit distribution, like how do I even get something on Spotify?
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:46.400
Like all that, like all the questions that I wish I had, uh, you know, somebody to to help answer along the way.
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:54.480
When I started the show, or like, you know, co-hosted the show back in the day, um, it was all, you know, Google University.
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.680
And you can figure a lot of stuff out, but like, how quickly do you want to do it?
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:58.240
Exactly.
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:05.759
And then by the time you do it, you're just so tired because there are so many details that go into executing your show that you don't know.
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:08.160
And I think that's just true in business in general.
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:13.680
There's so many things that once you start something, you're like, oh, I didn't think about that.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.720
Oh, I also need to, you know, do XYZ.
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:20.960
Um, all these things that come up as as you go and you learn as you go.
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.960
But if we can alleviate that a little bit, cut out all that.
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.400
All that where you can just come in, touch the mat, get your levels.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.759
You're like, what's your idea?
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:32.400
All right, cool.
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:33.200
What do you want to talk about?
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:33.839
All right, cool.
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.480
Ask this question, sit down, and let's do it.
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:36.960
Let's go.
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.920
And it gets done.
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.440
Yeah, and it's so easy.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:43.680
And I I I think that's my favorite part is like watching it unfold.
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:47.599
Because we've had some crazy like podcasts in here.
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.640
So cool.
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.960
Like True Crime Podcast, yes, Hulu, yes.
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:55.680
Uh the reality TV show came in.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:27:01.680
They're coming back to hopefully we can get them on the NFL players, actors, yeah.
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.640
Just yeah, multi-million dollar brand owners.
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.240
Like just the list goes.
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:10.559
It's crazy, it's really cool.
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:15.680
All the way to just a couple of women who want to help.
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:17.039
Yeah, that's us.
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:19.759
Sit and tell stories, sit and tell stories, yep.
00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:20.079
Yep.
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:21.680
Shine a lot on other people.
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:22.319
Yeah.
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:30.240
So it's it's called behind the shine, like I said, because it's it's showing like the less polished, you know, version of what it takes to get somewhere.
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:39.440
A lot of times we just see the end result, you just see the studio, you just see, you know, it you forget that there's a whole process before that.
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:42.640
Behind the scenes, behind the scenes, behind the shine.
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.559
You just see that Instagram picture and you're like, wow, I wish I could have done that, not knowing how easy it was.
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:48.960
Yeah.
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:55.680
Even me sitting here today, I'm like, I would have never been able to be in a studio, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, whatever.
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.200
And then what, talk to you once and now we're here?
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:02.319
That was very much a god thing.
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.880
It was.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.079
It was, it won't happen for everyone like that, just
letting you know.
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:19.440
Yeah, I've I I just enjoy the whole process of podcasting, and I feel like a lot of people do, but they're just so scared to finally sit here in this chair, which I'm not knocking because it's nerve-wracking.
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.319
Oh, yeah.
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.119
The second I sat down, I was like, wait, how do I speak?
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:24.160
What do I say?
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.319
How does one hold a coffee cup?
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.000
Like, why is this so hard?
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.920
So, my question is for you, Anna.
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:36.240
Would you do this all over again and open another studio in some other city or in the same Charleston?
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:42.079
Yes, a thousand times, yes.
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.759
No, and in a heartbeat.
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.240
Yeah.
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.680
We're trying, like actively trying to make that happen.
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.720
I mean, that is like a huge, um, what do they call it?
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:53.279
A B Hag, big hairy, audacious goal.
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.200
Um, yeah, that is that is ours.
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:57.200
I like that.
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:58.160
A B Hag.
00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.039
A B Hag.
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:10.960
That is that is my B Hag is to have multiple Shine Studio locations and just make this continue to make this as easy as possible to really amplify other people's voices.
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.880
I mean, that's that's what we do.
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.160
Yeah.
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:15.599
Take over Charleston, please.
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.400
Yes, Charleston or anywhere else.
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.000
So the location number two loading.
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:23.440
Yes, TBD.
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.039
I mean, yeah, we got that's that's a big prayer away.
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:28.720
So I love that he answered that question.
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.920
For those of you who did not know who asked that question, your mic was on.
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:33.279
Wait, okay.
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:34.960
So this is introduce yourself.
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:36.720
When get the camera, Clay.
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.880
Okay, obviously, I should just introduce myself.
00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:39.440
Right.
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:45.039
So I'm Clay, I'm a content creator, and I mean, now I'm like doing a little bit of production.
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.440
Hey, welcome.
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:50.000
Hey, yes.
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:54.640
So I had to have Clay behind the camera because he also is into podcasting, had his own podcast, all of that.
00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:01.839
And I was just like, as she said earlier, this is collaborative, and we want to hear the stories and hear the people and see the faces that run Charleston.
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:05.119
And if there's anyone who runs Charleston, it's that face right there.
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:06.559
There you stop it.
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.720
Celebrity Clay.
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:10.880
But yes.
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:16.400
So I'm glad that he asked that question because he will be over there helping us a lot with these things.
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:29.839
We all kind of help each other, and I like the whole like community vibe that comes from this place because there's a lot of places that I've realized in the business world and even in Charleston, who it's about the business.
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:35.359
Every event is about the business, or trying to show off what they can do or whatever.
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:37.200
But this space has never really felt like that.
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.759
It's whoever's here, it's about you, not the studio.
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.720
You are the star.
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:43.119
Yeah.
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.319
When you come, yeah.
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.599
And that's, I mean, we're just we're here to bring your vision to life.
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:52.720
Like this isn't well, I guess that this is the Shine Studio show.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.039
But typically for other people's shows, it's not.
00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.759
It's um really about making your vision.
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:05.680
So we're gonna kind of wrap things up, but before we do, um, you'll hear this in every episode.
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.759
We're gonna play a little Shine Studio version of Truth or Dare.
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:11.359
It's called Shine or Dare.
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.960
So creative, I know.
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.880
Um so shine is like a confession.
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.480
You're shining a spotlight on something.
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:20.480
Dare speaks for itself.
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:22.240
So let me shine or dare.
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.400
Let me ask you your shine or dare since you're the one in the hot seat today.
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:29.200
So so before we close, okay.
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.559
I guess we will ask you your shine or dare question.
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:33.279
Okay.
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.400
So here's your your question.
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.319
Would you like first off, what what is it?
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:40.160
Do you do you pick shine or dare?
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.559
I just made that up with Allie, but yeah.
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.920
So would you like shine or dare?
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:47.279
Yeah.
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:50.160
So I guess I should ask you your shine or dare question.
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:51.200
Okay, I have one.
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:52.400
Shine or dare.
00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:00.880
Since you're your shine question, you've had the pleasure, let's just say, for your shine question, you've had the pleasure of recording multiple episodes in here.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.839
Can you tell us who your favorite podcaster record was?
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.400
I can't play favorites like that, Jamaica.
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:07.839
I can't play favorites.
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:08.799
Your top three.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:10.160
They're all my favorite.
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.440
If you had to, your top three that you would you would tell the audience you should give it a listen.
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.559
Okay.
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:20.160
Well, my first one was yours, but you know.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.640
Not too much.
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:24.480
Not too much.
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.000
Um, coming soon.
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:34.559
Um, I absolutely love any time we can get Melissa Thompson in the studio.
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.200
I love that one.
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:35.920
She's amazing.
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.279
The Becoming Her podcast, we'll be sure to link that in the description.
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.480
Um, she is an incredible human being.
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:47.680
Um, I've had the true honor of working with her since like pre-COVID.
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:50.640
And uh shooting her podcast is fun.
00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.559
Two days of snacks.
00:32:53.200 --> 00:33:00.400
She comes in from Fort Worth and records here tons of photos in between each like outfit changes, galore, and like she lives with a whole season.
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.319
Six to ten episodes a day.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.160
It's insane for two days straight.
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:04.880
It's awesome.
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:09.359
We're we're gonna have to do a whole vlog, a behind the scenes vlog, and share that with you guys here.
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:12.480
We'll have to have her go podcast because next time she comes back.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.119
Yes.
00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.799
And then can you give us one more?
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.279
Yes.
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.640
Um, Susanna Dellinger with Off the Shelf podcast.
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:18.880
Okay.
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:30.160
Um she was one of the first, I feel like, who I feel like took a chance on me, but she also knew like I I would deliver, you know, on her podcast.
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:36.480
And um, she has just when she comes in, I mean, she sits down, no notes.
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:42.960
She'll have notes, she'll never look at them once, um, and just go off on uh on her podcast.
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:48.799
And it's I've learned so much about the beauty industry uh through her and what she does, so definitely check that one out too.
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.200
Off the shelf podcast with Susanna Dellinger.
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.480
Can I add one of my own?
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.440
Oh, please.
00:33:53.680 --> 00:34:00.559
I I would have to say my favorite podcast to listen to when I'm in here that we've recorded is Fidelis.
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:01.759
Yes.
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.799
The Horse and Feet.
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:04.400
I didn't have to meet him in person.
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.880
He came in during maternity leave and I haven't gotten to meet him yet.
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:16.480
Yes, if you haven't checked out the Horse and Feet podcast too, and you want to hear some good Charleston stories from black men out here in Charleston, definitely check out Horse and Feet.
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.079
That's my favorite one, I don't have to say.
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:19.679
We're gonna like hilarious.
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:22.719
