285. Competing to win | Edward Munoz

Edward is one of the kindest and most talented people I have ever met. In this episode he shares his inspiring story of bringing his balloon business to the U.S. from Venezuela, and all of the challenges he faced in the process. He’s very generous with the techniques he shares on Instagram and I know everyone will have something to learn from listening to him.

You’ll hear about:

His strategy for competitions
How winning one competition earned him a big opportunity
How he’s juggling his full-time work for burton + Burton with his own business
Why he only goes after big & unique jobs
What he’s discovered about working with corporate clients
How he mixes classic and organic styles

Some other things that were fascinating to hear was how he paid for college with his balloon income, moved across the country with three days’ notice, learned English and became a citizen. What an inspiring conversation it was!

And in the UGlu Hotline, I answer a question about the best way to remove UGlu Dashes, and where I do and do not use them.
