Brittany and Patrick of Main Street Balloons turned a $300 side hustle into a full-time balloon business—and they did it while navigating new parenthood and while also working in their healthcare careers.

In this episode, they share their inspiring journey, how they manage their roles as a couple in business, and what it really takes to grow a profitable balloon company without burning out.

You'll learn:

• Why they finally stopped talking themselves out of starting

• How they've grown the business with zero debt

• The way they divide work between admin and installs

• How social media (and a little Disney magic) fuels their brand

• What they did to prepare for maternity leave

• Why working in healthcare actually helps them run a balloon business

This candid conversation is full of insight, humor, and practical advice—especially for balloon artists who are trying to grow while balancing family life.
