This is podcast Episode #4 of the Mobile Alabama Business Podcast with John Wiggins. John is a partner in Grad Pro, a Graduation Products and Class Ring Provider located in Mobile, Alabama. John and I have been friends for about 8 years. He is a member of Bay Community Church (now City Hope). In this interview, we talk about how John managed to get into business for himself, how he gets up at an insane 3:30 or 4:00 o’clock to get jump on the day, and how he is motivated to give back to the community he cares about.

In today's show, I sit down with Toni to learn more about how she got started in the commercial and fashion photography business. Toni and I have known each other for 6 or 7 years and occasionally she let me come shoot with her, but only if I promise to behave. Toni is a former radio DJ, but now runs Studio TRP in downtown Mobile. She is regularly called upon to shoot for the likes of Austal, Mobile Bay Monthly, IP Biloxi, and her work has appeared in Mode Miami and Fashion Chicago, among others. So let's start right in with Toni Riales of Studio TRP.

In this interview with Steve Carey from CertaPro, we discuss what experiences he brought to entrepreneurship from his previous life as a fighter pilot. We talked about how he has molded his franchise to fit what his team needs. And how he is focusing on customer service to set himself apart in an industry that does not usually focus on customer service. So let's dive right in with Steve Carey of CertaPro.

This podcast episode number 1 of the Mobile Alabama business podcast with Trisha LaCoste and April Loyle. Trisha and I have known each other for quite a while, and I’ve been a secret admirer of her work. April is one of her business partners at SoLife Studios. They’re wedding photographers based out of Fairhope, Alabama but they’ve done shoots as far away as India. April, describes herself as an over-Instagrammer and Trisha suffers from wanderlust, a strong desire to travel. So welcome to the podcast ladies!

OK, so I guess we will call this Episode Beta of the Mobile Alabama Business Podcast. My name is Marcus Neto and I’ll be hosting the Podcast. I’d like to thank you for spending time with me today. So you are listening to a podcast with no history. You may have no idea what the podcast is about or what will be discussed. This will be a podcast where we talk to local entrepreneurs and business owners about their businesses and how they got started.
