Humbled and honored to share that after 14 years of dedicated pratfalls, I've been promoted to Chief Honking Officer at Ringling Strategic Partners. None of this happens without my team, my mentors, and the squeaky horn that started it all.
If you're early in your clowning career: the honk finds the clown, not the other way around. Onward.
Hot take: the industry's obsession with single-balloon poodles is holding us back. The future is modular, multi-balloon systems with redundancy built in. If your giraffe pops, the whole event shouldn't pop with it.
Who's building toward resilient balloon infrastructure? Let's connect.
Just wrapped my Q3 on the birthday circuit and the data is clear: 7-year-olds are the most discerning audience in the industry. They have opinions. They heckle. They will call out a lazy balloon poodle.
Top lesson: never phone in the entrance. The entrance is everything.
