#82: Brandee Gaar breaks down how she built a leading Orlando planning firm, survived the COVID zero-events era, and accidentally launched Wedding Pro CEO via daily 10-minute lives and a Clubhouse “morning show.” We talk about the years that looked “successful” but paid nothing, the summers that almost sunk them, her husband quitting (twice going back to serve to keep lights on), and why their standing Friday money/ops meeting is non-negotiable.

We also hit mom guilt, kids who truly don’t remember the games you sobbed over missing, homeschooling for ambition, and the underrated power of a partner who says, “I’m not going anywhere.”

Hit play if: you’re a wedding pro, a parent, or a builder stuck in the middle.
