[00:01:32] Ta-Myia: up for it. This hurricane 

[00:01:33] Mic: season circumstance, you know, that was a terrifying little thunderstorm that moved through 

[00:01:39] Ta-Myia: yesterday. Right? It's just, you know, 

[00:01:41] DJ And?: I, you know, I'll, I'll respect to others, right?

Yes. But in Columbia it wasn't 

[00:01:45] Jai-Anna Carter: it. I feel like always like every year we get that kind of crazy, like, Oh my God, bunker down. We gonna close down all schools. And then, you know, at the end of the day it's like, oh yeah, it rained in my yard. So, Yeah. I'll 

[00:01:55] DJ And?: take it though. I'll take it. I'll take rain. A little angry wind and destroy little debris.

[00:01:59] Ta-Myia: [00:02:00] Yeah. I'll need that drama. Yeah man, for real. So Jay, I know you personally mm-hmm. , but can you tell an audience a little bit about you? What childhood experiences guided to guided 

[00:02:10] Jai-Anna Carter: you to this career path? Yeah, so I was thinking about this and in real life I think it was like just God listening to me.

So I think like at the beginning I was all like, Okay, when I grow up I wanna be a cowgirl. And, you know, that Oh wow. Did not . I was like, Yo, no. Riding horses is just not it. My butt hurts. I'm, I'm over it . So I went into my room that started, started drawing and I got into ballet. Just all kind of dance and just art.

Kind of like trickled all the way through like high school, college just in life in general. So once, once that started out I was like, Okay, cool. I'm not gonna school for dance. What can I really do? And so studio arts seemed to be something that I wanted to do. However, the thought of not being able to have a stable income was something that I also wanted to think about [00:03:00] as well.

So I was like, Okay, well what could compliment that? So, Like, you know, as I say, like God, like put me in a place. It was like, okay, cool. In art, they had added communications and I stayed an extra year because before I graduated, literally a semester before I graduated, they turned public relations into a major.

So I was like, Oh man. A extra year. Yeah, no, I'll definitely stay. So three degrees. One. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What's the round of applause? Wait, 

[00:03:27] Ta-Myia: do a round of applause. 

[00:03:29] Mic: Thank. Thank you. We got

[00:03:35] Ta-Myia: grades everybody. Thank you. 

[00:03:37] DJ And?: It'll be better in the future. It be You have three undergrad 

[00:03:39] Jai-Anna Carter: degrees. Three undergrad. That's amazing. 

[00:03:42] Mic: Just make sure that you qualify for whatever. Oh 

[00:03:45] Jai-Anna Carter: yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Because I think it was just like, you know, being in Columbia, I mean, pretty small town. But ultimately everything was interconnected.

So it was like, okay, cool. So I have this non-profit, kinda like background with like the [00:04:00] arts administration piece and then had the actual real world, corporate America whatever we wanna call it, crisis manage. Public relations. And so I thought that made sense and then I still could do what I wanted to do, which was art.

So just kind of like putting all these things together and realizing like, okay, I do print making, which is like wood cutting, all that stuff. It was, Go ahead. Does the stuff right? No, more like, Yeah, my fingers was jacked. It was amazing. jet. And so after like, I finished that and I realized Turn art communication, public relations into something that was profitable and I was introduced to photography.

I was like, Okay, this is cool. Photojournalism, maybe. And all these different things. And so once I really got into talking to people and I realized like, I actually like people, you know community relations seem to be a thing. So doing video and doing testimonials and really getting to know somebody's business or their craft and hearing their story was my thing.

And so I wanted to sit, listen to people's process, listen to their [00:05:00] story, actually see how they go from A to B of making or creating something. Even though that's what I do myself, I took that and ran with it and that's how collab content came to be. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Our stories are kind of similar cuz 

[00:05:13] Ta-Myia: I did studio art, but I'd never thought to do public relations.

 But I did printmaking. My, my senior project was on printmaking. Yeah. Yeah. And then all of that led into photography and videography, so That's so crazy how you maximize your opportunity. So good, Good job for that. Yeah. A round of applause, please. 

[00:05:28] Mic: Oh yeah. Let's

[00:05:33] Jai-Anna Carter: So all of my fans out there. Thank you. Thank you. 

[00:05:36] Mic: All right. 

[00:05:37] DJ And?: My fault. I'm here hitting these buttons, . Don't mind that. Don't mind that. So of course, so we talked about getting into your career path finding your way, what you wanted to do with your life. any other like, experiences as a child guiding you that anything that you can think of specifically as a child that guided you to that grip 

[00:05:55] Jai-Anna Carter: that you're at?

Mm. Okay. So I feel like [00:06:00] I kind of grew up almost like an only child, but I had a lot of brothers that were not blood brothers. I actually have like two brothers, but. We have big gaps. Like it's crazy. Like really big gaps. Like my brother is like, Oh really? ? Yeah. I got two brothers too. That's why I'm like, they don't make no sense.

Similar

my oldest brother is 16 years older than me. Oh. And then my youngest brother is 12 years younger. Wow. And so it's such a only child. I mean, it's again, you were raised and going. Exactly. Like when I was coming in and there was, Yeah, it was. So, so I'm, I'm growing up like, as a only child, had this crazy imagination, all my beers and dolls and stuff.

They had parents, but they went to school and it's just all this craziness. So I took that same kind of storyline and put that in like real life. Mm-hmm. . And so I'm like, okay, when I talk to my clients or I think about the things that make them happy in their business, Like, how do you really. Just in a sense, how do you make it easy [00:07:00] for somebody to understand what you're trying to say?

So if you have a bakery, how did you get started? You just didn't start with like having flour and you were like, Oh God, I wanna make a cake. Like you had a mother, you had a community, somebody did these things. And so my mom, she's a cosmetologist and so she always talked to people about. Their life, what's happening in their day, anything really.

Mm-hmm. . And so it was so easy just to have a conversation and learning how to have these open ended conversations. And then taking that, not just about who they are and what they do, but how they wanna like, impact the world. Because, you know, we all do things and we thinking about the, right now we're thinking about, you know, income.

We're thinking about what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day, what I'm gonna do for the rest of the year. But sometimes we get so caught up in the business realm about making this money and making a. So that we forget that it's so much out there that we can still impact. So we might not touch the whole globe, but we can touch the community around us in a lot of ways we don't think about that.

And so through collaboration, collab [00:08:00] content I think about that way too. How can I maximize it? Because I'm only one person. My community might just be art, but. Every video has somebody that has a bakery, that has construction, that has anything. And so that's almost why my portfolio is so wide, like from dance to agriculture.

Like there's no, there's no way about green telling other people's 

[00:08:20] Mic: story and they have good 

[00:08:21] Jai-Anna Carter: background. Yeah, exactly. So there is no way that Columbia College dance team would come across this guy that's on north. That is a vegan and now he has a vegan restaurant, so Wow. You know, putting the two together, they're in the same community and they didn't even know.

And so, Wow. Yeah, it just maximized. I love the name. Content. Yeah. I 

[00:08:40] Ta-Myia: don't really know how that happen. Everybody 

[00:08:43] Jai-Anna Carter: was like, you know, you should just name it J Carter. I'm like, I don't wanna be narcissist. I can't do that . I just can't like, Ah. Yeah. It's not about me. So good. I 

[00:08:51] Ta-Myia: like that. 

[00:08:52] DJ And?: Yeah. That makes it 

[00:08:53] Mic: more Longer lifespan.

Right. You 

[00:08:55] Jai-Anna Carter: can sell it off. Exactly. Right. 

[00:08:57] DJ And?: Right. Good point. I think about that. Good. Yeah. Oh yeah. [00:09:00] Once you get that brand 

[00:09:00] Mic: going mm-hmm. . 

[00:09:01] Jai-Anna Carter: Exactly. Yeah. So to me, you seem like a visionary for sure. And a creative. 

[00:09:06] Ta-Myia: So how important is it to have a vision for yourself and what did your vision look like and how did.

and did everything you dreamed of coming to fruition. 

[00:09:15] Jai-Anna Carter: Okay, let's start backwards. So did everything happen that came to volition? So had a couple things I wanted to do. So I started off, you know, I was like, Oh my God, just thinking of all these different things I could be, And so when I graduated high school I had my cosmetology license, so I was like, Okay, well, I could potentially like be a makeup artist.

And then I end up working at Alta and I did makeup for like two years. I was like, Oh God, this is amazing. The next thing I did was like I got into video and photography and I just started doing like freelance and stuff. But I actually had a job presented to me where I was working with the district and I got to learn children's education, the STEM program.

So they were doing rubs, cubes, they were doing career development programs, just all type of stuff. And so I got exposed to so [00:10:00] many different things and I felt like I was one of those people. And I feel like all of us are like that. Like if you're a creative and you play instrument on the side or. You like paint on the side.

So it's always something like, I know so many people that have so many good ideas, but it's so hard to hone in on those things. And so I felt like those formative years where I was able to really explore all of these different avenues of what I wanted to do. But it all came back just through video.

So even if I don't get to do it anymore, I don't get to dance that much, but now I can film somebody that's dancing. That's true. So that's the, that's the fun part about it. Having a vision is definitely important. Has mine changed and emerged and just modified a lot? Yes. And I feel like that's because you know, we all have.

Outlook on life of how we want it to be. And I was so hard on myself like, Okay, I wanna do this strategic, like I want it to be this specific way at this specific time, and if I don't get it this way, then I failed and I realized I just have to be easy on myself. [00:11:00] You remember, God, that God is leading me 24 7.

So. However he decides to move. And if it's not the right season, if you try to push it too hard, then it's just not gonna work. So I had to learn how to be easy, slow down, and calm down. Cause I always, you know, we are on Instagram all the time, we hear motivational speeches like Steve Harvey says, You know, real leaders don't sleep eight hours a night.

I'm like, What , sir? I value 

[00:11:24] Ta-Myia: my sleep. 

[00:11:25] Jai-Anna Carter: Exactly. I'm not gonna crash. I need a good nap. I don't fall asleep. I'm horrible. 

[00:11:29] DJ And?: I don't like sleeping. But that's not. I don't want to, I just, I'd be busy. I like, I like having my own loan time. Oh yeah. We out here working hard. Seriously. We put lots of hours in and I, mm-hmm.

And I like what you were talking about though, of how to cultivate your own success by making sure you don't worry about things like that. Right. Because I know, and again, this is what the show's about, learning how to adult, especially as millennials learning how to do things proper and we don't get these lessons.

The elders don't always descend up upon [00:12:00] us with this type of wisdom, right? So we have to talk with each other and try to figure out these experiences. And since you had that opportunity to move in that, in your field and start your career and see those things, this is excellent information for our audience to hear.

Yeah. 

[00:12:12] Mic: Excellent information. Yeah, for sure. 

[00:12:14] Jai-Anna Carter: Mm-hmm. , you an aquarium. No. What's your sign, Scorpio. I was over here trying to, I was like, I'm gonna wait to the internet episode. 

[00:12:23] Mic: Do it on air. You can just, I'm a crazy motherfucker. Like 

[00:12:25] Jai-Anna Carter: that was so funny. I was thinking about that on the way over here, so I was like, Oh yeah, you're definitely a water sign.

I'm like, What does that mean? Oh 

[00:12:32] Ta-Myia: gosh. 

[00:12:34] Mic: It means, sure, flexible and can fit whatever vessel you need to fill, but you can also crash. Yes, 

[00:12:39] Jai-Anna Carter: exactly. 

[00:12:40] Ta-Myia: You can 

[00:12:40] Mic: be ice and. I'm, I'm, I'm a erian. That's, yeah. 

[00:12:44] Jai-Anna Carter: That sense. Well, if I was a part of the avatar, I definitely would be a earth bender. Like I, I just have to be, I I can't be your water bender.

I'm a drown. I can't swim. Oh lord. You can swim. Swim. Can't 

[00:12:54] Ta-Myia: swim. You never swim. But you can do a many other over rare things, so it's okay. 

[00:12:58] Jai-Anna Carter: Yeah. 

[00:12:58] Ta-Myia: Yes. I 

[00:12:59] DJ And?: guess swimming's not [00:13:00] necessary grading here 

[00:13:01] Ta-Myia: if you be black. 

[00:13:03] Mic: I had to swim, man. That's one of the first things 

[00:13:05] DJ And?: I learned. I how to swim, Kevin tell you, man, I had.

I went to this swelling class because I didn't want to die. I was afraid if a hurricane came out. This is a realistic 

[00:13:13] Mic: Charles man. That's 

[00:13:15] DJ And?: real talk. I have, I have an insane fear of water in the dark. Oh. So at night I don't go near bodies of water. Scariest thing ever. I'm afraid of that. Everything's gonna jump up and sudden me in something I don't know.

Do the 

[00:13:29] Mic: reflections bother? 

[00:13:30] Ta-Myia: Possibly, I 

[00:13:31] Jai-Anna Carter: don't know. Okay. I thought you were gonna be like, Yeah, like maybe I might lose my footing. I'm that person. I'm like, I might just be clumsy. Very 

[00:13:38] Ta-Myia: logical feeling. This 

[00:13:40] Mic: is not logical. Not logical. Not at all 

[00:13:44] DJ And?: about something with like venom come out there and grab my 

[00:13:47] Ta-Myia: imagination is out of this.

Yeah. Like class 

[00:13:50] Jai-Anna Carter: is 

[00:13:50] DJ And?: style. I'm not gonna, I'm scared more that night. So I was like, Hey, I'm gonna learn how to swim. Took swimming. Had a really good instructor. She was actually a, a an Olympic gold medalist. Oh. And she had [00:14:00] alopecia. Oh. So she was smooth through that water. She jumped, hit like a fish, and she told me the first time I jumped into the deep, she said, Oh, don't worry about it.

So it's actually easier to swim down here than on the other. I said, So if I fall down, I start dying. You're gonna come get me. She, yeah, you just sink to the bottom and kick off. I didn't know look and fear, so I was like, 

[00:14:17] Jai-Anna Carter: I never think 

[00:14:17] DJ And?: about that. So I got in there and I didn't realize when that first happened.

I said, Oh, I'm sitting down here all the time. I'm not going out to the short end anymore. Cause the short end, I can die in the deep end. I'm good. So I got really 

[00:14:26] Ta-Myia: shit tossing. So no, I literally almost drowned and that's how I 

[00:14:29] Mic: made, I've been working on that with my 

[00:14:31] DJ And?: wife for eight years. What? Swimming swim classes.

[00:14:34] Mic: Oh my Lord. Take man, Milo. It's on. It's a plan every year. It's a plan. Its a plan. Every year, every spring. 

[00:14:40] Jai-Anna Carter: It's a plan. Nah, I hear that. If somebody always says like, Oh yeah, you don't know how to tell. I'm gonna start, I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you every year. I'm like, Okay, I have yet to meet this exact person.

Got this. It makes you feel, 

[00:14:50] DJ And?: it makes you feel so much more comfortable whenever you're around water. So it's in, it's relaxing. Yeah. You realize the water's your friend. Yeah. It doesn't want, I didn't know that at first. I [00:15:00] thought the water trying to murder me. I come out the water with a shank trying to get at the water.

Oh my God. Not, not no 

[00:15:04] Jai-Anna Carter: more. Nah, I'm just bricks. Like I hit, I I just hit it. Just 

[00:15:09] Ta-Myia: bricks

[00:15:13] DJ And?: on y'all. I'm sorry about that. But being creative in today's society is very challenging. Mm-hmm. , how important is expressing your creative creativity? 

[00:15:23] Jai-Anna Carter: So one day I was having my, let me see my senior showcase for printmaking in college. And so one of the questions during our senior showcase was, Are you still gonna make time to actually be creative?

And I was like, Yeah. And everybody in the little group was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, you know, adulting happened and then, you know, car payments happen and the insurance kicked in. Yeah. You know, 

[00:15:51] Mic: all the slowly, little by little that twinkle goes out in your eye, 

[00:15:55] Jai-Anna Carter: right? 23, 24, 25 adulting, aches happen in the [00:16:00] morning,

And I was like, Oh man, like, I don't have time to do this stuff. And what what I really realized as I were, as I was kind of getting burned out was like, how do I, in a sense, like how I maximize stuff with my clients is how do I maximize it with myself? If I'm doing this stuff already as kind of like, you know, a hobby or something that I love, like how can I do the same things in my leisure time and just add these into my goals?

So smart. Like one of my things was I always wanted to work out and I was like, Ah, I just don't have the time. And I just couldn't figure out like how I want it to work out. But, I know like as a child, I always liked biking, so cycling became my new thing. Like, Hey, got into cycling, got this dog, and I'm like, Oh god, now I gotta walk the dog with, She just runs by the bike.

I'm like, Thank God. Like this worked out perfect me. What kind dog have you got? Aquita. You said a 

[00:16:52] Ta-Myia: dog. You got . 

[00:16:55] DJ And?: That's dope dog. She is. I give you that. 

[00:16:57] Jai-Anna Carter: Dope dogs. Yeah, she's, I thought she was gonna be huge, but [00:17:00] I mean, everybody's scared the crap outta me. It was like, Oh God. Her balls. It could be us. Oh, Jesus Christ.

Juju is gonna be two on Monday, so October 3rd, she's just starting to settle down there. Yeah, exactly. You now? Mm-hmm. . She doesn't bite mattresses anymore, so that's great.

[00:17:29] DJ And?: I'm scared of. A p a Doggo, bruh. 

[00:17:32] Mic: Yeah, we just got another one. Really? Oh, bless. Oh man. 

[00:17:35] DJ And?: You gotta retrain. It's like it's starting to back over from the start, right? She, she she's trained. She's trained. She's,

[00:17:45] Mic: she trained for certain things. Okay. She's trained how somebody, somebody at a mill to work with, at Columbia College. Mm-hmm. , Oh. Had a, had a dog that she didn't feel like she had the right environment. And, and I was like, No, no, no, no, [00:18:00] no, we're not having three dogs. And then they brought the dog over to play.

Oh. And then I was like, Fine, , that happens. It's a wonderful dog. Fine. It's 

[00:18:07] DJ And?: like bringing the dog that when you see him, can't say no. She's so 

[00:18:11] Mic: sweet. Oh. But yeah, she, she definitely has been allowed to jump on the bed and on the couch and Oh, yeah. All, all the things.

[00:18:35] Mic: In the mouth.

[00:19:15] Ta-Myia: she on it. 



[00:19:16] Jai-Anna Carter: like that. Bye. So, yeah, like if I, if I'm working out, I get kinda a one and two, like, you know, she gets to walk, I get to ride and the, and then the, if I'm at work or whatever, like I'm kind of doing the same thing.

So I try to implement every workflow if I'm doing it for my actual job or if I'm doing it for my actual clients. Kind of keeping that same beat, that same workflow and making it a routine. So if it actually is good, I can turn it into something else that's profitable. Like, you know, people don't really think about this, but having operating systems and organization systems, people knew that.

You 

[00:19:50] Ta-Myia: talking about the IT course over the summer, you

[00:20:01] DJ And?: management kick right now. Y'all be kinda important. That 

[00:20:04] Ta-Myia: workflow, 

[00:20:05] Jai-Anna Carter: It's discipline to me, definitely 

[00:20:07] Ta-Myia: along with 

[00:20:07] DJ And?: creativity, because that's something like creatives don't think about the fact that it's necessary sometimes for your thoughts to be in order.

Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Mm-hmm. , could you speak 

[00:20:15] Jai-Anna Carter: on importance of that? Yeah, so I, I think everybody's workflow and the way that their authenticity of creating is a lot is really different. I learned about this thing in psychology. It's called synesthesia. So yeah. If you hear something, see something almost like nostalgia in a sense it kind of gives you this sense that you want to recreate it.

So if I'm, one of my things that I would do is listen to like Lauren Hill, like music, just, just playing the whole time. And I, my thought process is hearing the sound is, is hearing her words, it's hearing, it's just creating emotion. How can I recreate that emotion in real life form? Ooh. And so a lot, yeah, a lot of like, artists actually like [00:21:00] music and stuff, so I'm like, okay, well the best way to do that is if you wanna maximize her time, You know, set a time.

Put down the music, put a playlist in. Yes, actually write down your stuff before you start doing it. Like that thought part, that thought process and actually writing down, getting down paper makes it so much easier. So when you actually get to the drawing board or whatever your canvas is, like, it's easy to just put it out there and just create.

And so having that workflow is really important just to see how you're progressing, what works and what doesn't work. And then also, You can implement it, like you said. Any, anything? The, one of the jobs, the job I was talking about that I did some stuff with Richland. One, even though we were doing a lot of stuff with the kids, the way that we processed everything, when they said 90 minute meeting, it was 90 minutes or it was 89.5 minutes

So like it was right to thet and I love that. So everywhere else I go now, if I see somebody just, they kind of get off on a tangent at a meeting. It. Oh [00:22:00] yeah. Okay. They have, they, they like bring it back. They like bring it back. Why? Talking about Toka and this raccoon I was in your trash can. It happened.

Well, 

[00:22:08] Ta-Myia: we talking about mice though. 

[00:22:10] Mic: Yeah. Yeah. 

[00:22:11] Ta-Myia: Fun. 

[00:22:11] Jai-Anna Carter: Fun. But that's why I enjoy 

[00:22:13] Ta-Myia: like working with guys cause it's like we stay on topic and we actually push content and get stuff done at a timely manner, like mm-hmm. , we not just lolly gagging in limbo. I'm like, oh my gosh, I cannot stand that 

[00:22:24] Jai-Anna Carter: as part. No, 

[00:22:25] Ta-Myia: I know.

To. 

[00:22:26] DJ And?: I could see it. No. Sometimes when I look at, Oh, shut the hell up, and it's time to keep it moving, you can funny. See, that's a good thing though, is a cause I'm, I'm the worst, y'all. I'm the worst. So I understand that. Question this this is still based on the creativity aspect of what you want to do with life and your job.

What kind of impression do you wanna make on your. Gotcha. When it comes to your creative mm-hmm. 

[00:22:51] Jai-Anna Carter: aspects? Well one of the things, like I said, collaboration is everything to me. Like I, I used to be this person that wanted to do everything, and it [00:23:00] wasn't that I thought I was better than anybody or I felt like like they couldn't do it.

It was just that I knew how old child. Yeah. Like I felt like I knew how, you know that middle child syndrome. I got the juices, you got the juice, 

[00:23:12] Ta-Myia: you got it, you got it. 

[00:23:15] Jai-Anna Carter: So I'm like trying to put my hand and everything, like literally sprinkling salt on everything. Like I got this, I got this, I got this. But then I realized like even though I felt like I had it, I just didn't have no time.

That burnout is, is real. Mm-hmm. . And then also like how many people am I impacting by myself? Smart. And so like at the end of the day, If you're a client or if you're just a partner in general, like, okay, so how can we work together to make your dream and my dream happen? And so the kind of like impact that I wanna leave on the community that I have is that, you know, you can work with anybody, even if you're in the same industry.

And oftentimes when you're in the same industry, you get a little bit more pool because you, you just open up a whole nother guest list of people that you need to be connected with. Mm-hmm. a roster. 

[00:23:59] Ta-Myia: Collaborate [00:24:00] and connect with Cross Network. Yeah. Wait, 

[00:24:02] DJ And?: wait, what You say? Collaborate and connect? Mm-hmm.

Collab Connect. 

[00:24:05] Jai-Anna Carter: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's actually, I'll say that, I'll say that for the, for the next week. So I'll say that, but But I think, and this is a conversation and I think this is so funny, is that in Columbia we have all these people. Right. Was waiting. I was waiting. Yeah. Yeah. Like in Columbia, this show bothers my soul.

We're here and we have all these photographers, videographers, all these wedding planners, all these things. We all know each other too. We same places, we go to the same place. Sometimes we work in the same event. Wow. Hey crush. What's up, man? Exactly. See? Crush everywhere. You're like, Yo, what's going on, ? And so you hear.

But it's like, okay, we're talking, but we're really not actually making action behind these conversations. Mm-hmm. , if I go to, a lot of people go to Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston. We're using all their studios. We're using all their, all their instructions, all this stuff. Right. And these [00:25:00] places already have like the pool for it.

Yeah. And that's cool. Like yeah, it's. But it's like Olivers are here. Why are we traveling three hours away? Just do the same thing. 

[00:25:10] Mic: Mm-hmm. . Yes. Like crazy. We've been talking about this. Exactly. So we started doing these little these little, We ain't talked about this on air. 

[00:25:19] Ta-Myia: No, we haven't. No, haven't.

This is our first 

[00:25:21] Mic: time's do shameless cell promo 

[00:25:24] DJ And?: promo. That is promo promo. We 

[00:25:25] Mic: We, we started this little this little brunch thing that we do once a. And get a whole bunch of Columbia creatives together and we have some breakfast and talk about things, meet with people who got studios and people who write grants.

[00:25:40] DJ And?: Mix it all up per reach, Uhhuh 

[00:25:45] Mic: trying to, trying to cultivate, nurture the creative community, especially coming off of Covid like it's everything we did have going on dry 

[00:25:54] Ta-Myia: up. We're trying to form like a hub incubator. 

[00:25:58] Jai-Anna Carter: Idea. So that's what [00:26:00] me and Kay was actually talking about. Like, I was like, Oh man, I hate, like, in a sense we had kind of like the same meeting of the minds because I was like, Okay, how can I actually collab connect or whatever.

 I was like, How can I maximize something that we don't have? And so in a sense y'all kind of like, kind of like what you wanna say are complimenting the idea that I'm thinking about. I see so many different, like small businesses or like entrepreneurs that mm-hmm. , they have these businesses, maybe they're doing good and they actually like are running, and then some of them are just startups and they don't really know what's the first step.

Mm-hmm. and a lot of them don't have the funding for the marketing. So like, how can we have an event in Columbia where these. Small business leaders can come to this place, get like a little mini intro interview of who they are. Yep. Also get like a little mini caveat of like some marketing materials.

Maybe it's like a product, like a soft launch product. Shoot. Or maybe it's just like some stuff that they, Yeah, some stuff that they can actually use for some type. Exactly. Some sort. Yeah. Yeah. That you don't have to pay [00:27:00] $3,000 for Like . I know Buss. Oh yeah. For real. Yeah. There's so many people out here that's like, Ah, yeah, I was talking to this photographer, but he didn't get back to me.

And then when he did get back to me, that's all I hear. Yeah. That's all I hear. And so it's like everybody needs a project manager. Mm-hmm. everybody. Yeah. You don't think about how important it is. Yeah. Yeah. If you're a business, you need a project manager. If you're an artist, you need a, you need a manager, period.

 It's, it's just, it's really important. Like I can only do but so much. If you're calling me for a photographer, you gonna get a photographer. Mm-hmm. . You're not gonna get somebody that's gonna schedule out what you need, how to edit it, or how to put all this stuff on your social media, like we need your ratios.

We need what kind of editing inspiration that you want and we gonna give it the pictures. That's it. Like people don't really think about it. So 

[00:27:44] Ta-Myia: Yeah. I don't think people go into detail are actually line out like what their marketing scheme will be. Yeah. Right. When you ask them certain questions, they're just like, in limbo.

And I'm just like, Okay, how long did you think about this? Or like, Do you want me to take full creative? Mm-hmm. control over your business. [00:28:00] I don't feel comfortable doing that because you know, this is your baby, not mine. Get used. Yeah. This, that's what they want. That's what they want. Don't being a creative, that's why I like kind of stood away from graphic design.

Cause it's like, oh my gosh, like you want me to design this whole thing? And you don't have 

[00:28:15] Jai-Anna Carter: no say in no direction. Right. And I think it's, it's some people now, if it's a. What I've, what I've realized is if it's something that's already finite, like it's a corporation or a foundation Yeah. That already knows like their brand guide, their identity.

Mm-hmm. , they're good. Like, I'm gonna give you this tool guide to just make whatever like, and polo roll up. Exactly. We can say like, this is what we're gonna do. But when it comes to somebody that's just doing a startup, I, I realized like if they're just getting started or if there's somebody that's already been like alive for a couple years they.

They have this mind that they're creative to, which is great. Mm-hmm. , but sometimes. They have to step back and let us be the creatives because we're not so close in on it like them. So like, you know, if I got a child, I'm like, Oh [00:29:00] yeah, I know what my child needs. She need to go to private school and she need to take this sport because I didn't get to do it when I was younger, but.

You know, somebody on the outside is like, Look, your child don't like that. Like your child is a 

[00:29:10] Ta-Myia: creative. She wanna be playing arts and craft, arts and crafts, kid picking 

[00:29:14] Jai-Anna Carter: flowers, right? First of all, your baby is five years old and she already 150 pounds. She don't wanna do that. 

[00:29:22] Mic: She don't, 

[00:29:23] DJ And?: That's different.

Sorry, y'all. Sorry, one second. Sorry, y'all. Sorry about, That's real problems out here. It's some real issue. You 

[00:29:31] Jai-Anna Carter: got your 

[00:29:31] DJ And?: baby out here. We actually discussed that on one of our episodes in season two. Mm-hmm. , No. Childhood obesity and eating packs of balone in the morning. Oh Lord. Oh 

[00:29:39] Mic: yes. Fake food. That's 

[00:29:41] Ta-Myia: what 

[00:29:42] Jai-Anna Carter: is, yeah, that is my bodies, that McDonald's now.

Yeah. I What's 

[00:29:45] DJ And?: your favorite fast food 

[00:29:46] Jai-Anna Carter: spot? Ooh, I gotta think about that. Don't, 

[00:29:50] Ta-Myia: don't put her on the spot. You know, she working out later. I know 

[00:29:54] DJ And?: Devil was advocate that was already 

[00:29:56] Jai-Anna Carter: off donut at you. Okay. So I do like bread. [00:30:00] So my, my favorite food right now, well, for eternity, I think is Pizza Hut.

Cheese sticks. So yes, all the specific, All it specific. The double order, not the single. You can't, you just can't have six. You need 12. Oh my Lord. Yes. This is must be good. This must be good. It's, it's good. This must be good. Like I don't care what nobody say. You 

[00:30:18] DJ And?: remember that? Right? Next time y'all see her out in Round Town, make sure you have a double order.

Pizza Hut cheese sticks. 

[00:30:22] Jai-Anna Carter: Yes. Meet me there. 

[00:30:24] Mic: Let ask you something about this creative stuff as you are. Taking on these different projects for different people. Mm-hmm. , kind of spending your creative energy trying to sell their thing. Mm-hmm. , whatever. Like, do you find a, like, does that fulfill you or do you find a gap in your, like, creative fix where there's like, like no space for yourself?

[00:30:47] Jai-Anna Carter: Got it. Yeah. So at some point I did. And I think that's just that workflow balance like we were talking about especially last year in like June to like [00:31:00] September, I had like, Six different contracts. I just started a new job that required me 40 hours a week, and I'm still trying to do a passion project, and I was like, Yeah, that's impossible.

I was and so I'm like, Oh yeah, let me have two more weeks wait, I'll start the job in a minute. Let me close out some stuff. But even though I close it out, I was still trying to think like, okay, you know, I was in college and I was working two jobs, and even though one was an internship, like I still had time in between and.

I didn't realize like, you know, the weight of just being an adult, like realizing, okay, I got bills. My passion project isn't paying anything but satisfaction. And then my regular job, I don't have, you know, that same leadership like I would want because I'm working under somebody else. I'm an employer, not the consultant.

So, That's, that's way different isn't Oh God. God. What? Having somebody like, and it's not even like, I haven't had anybody crazy like micromanage me or anything. Yeah. But it's like just they want something in like particular mm-hmm. and having clients that always come to me and ask [00:32:00] me questions and it's like, okay, now I have to actually present something to somebody, do the research that it actually works, and then see if they wanna do it.

That is so different. Mm-hmm. like, oh my god. . Yeah. Was there, was there a gap at some point? Yes. But actually being intentional about what you're doing and how you want it to be done is, is really important. Especially when, if you're looking at like having goals and trying to meet goals at a certain point.

 Because I'm like, I know I don't wanna work at somebody's job forever. And so I gave myself a cutoff time, like, Okay, by the end of this time, I'm getting outta the job. I'm gonna save this amount. So I'm able to do that. If nothing opens up for me. As far as like client. And then that way I'm still able to feel like I'm pursuing what I wanna do.

I still can take vacations. I still can go out and create whatever I wanna do, and I'm not like over like overkill. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. So, Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, man, that's a, Yeah. 

[00:32:55] Ta-Myia: You got a good head on your shoulders. No, 

[00:32:57] Jai-Anna Carter: seriously. Yeah man. You gotta be a little mature. Like, I hate to [00:33:00] do it sometime, like, you know, I wanna sit, I wanna struggle.

Yeah. I wanna some bed and eat cheese sticks and you know, watch Netflix, you know, three times outta the week. But , it can happen. 

[00:33:09] Mic: I know. I'm finding like when you do indulge that, that chill out, relaxed vibe. Yeah. Mm-hmm. like for me anyway. I lose the energy. I don't have the momentum. It's, I gotta stack, I gotta keep like an onboard project just to keep that, 

[00:33:24] Ta-Myia: that role.

[00:33:25] Jai-Anna Carter: Yeah, it, it's almost like a little mind thing. Like we playing with ourselves. It's 

[00:33:30] Ta-Myia: like 

[00:33:32] Mic: it now take on another project. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. Just 

[00:33:35] Ta-Myia: keep 

[00:33:35] Jai-Anna Carter: going. Don't stop me. 

[00:33:36] Ta-Myia: I'm like, Oh dang. I said just. Oh my gosh. 

[00:33:40] DJ And?: Yeah. You say, Yeah. Yeah. That's what gets you 

[00:33:42] Jai-Anna Carter: Yout realize you're saying Yes. Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and, and then saying yes to it. That brought back a thing. Another thing about like just clients and stuff, working with people. You say yes to something, right? And you're like, Oh yeah, like I, I saw this video and they had these doves flying in. You think you do that? You're like, Oh, yeah, I can do that.

But then when you get to the shoot, you [00:34:00] like, Oh, why did I agree to that? I said, a hundred dollars. Oh yeah. 

[00:34:07] Mic: Call a Dove trainer, Get some cages in here. All my 

[00:34:11] Jai-Anna Carter: you take, you take a off. There's a reason Movie 

[00:34:15] Mic: this cost million. Exactly. Just start really looking at shit like there's 

[00:34:18] DJ And?:

[00:34:18] Ta-Myia: lot. Right. 

[00:34:19] DJ And?: You playing behind the green 

[00:34:20] Jai-Anna Carter: screen.

I told y'all that this is going be a estimate, not the final. 

[00:34:25] DJ And?: You. I got one last question before we, we get to the the wrap up part. I've asked this, have you ever gave an. That you had to then go back on and overshoot the estimate. And what was the reaction of your client? . 

[00:34:41] Ta-Myia: Isn't that normal? 

[00:34:45] Jai-Anna Carter: I've never done take a 

[00:34:48] Ta-Myia: loss Marty's.

Seriously? 

[00:34:52] Jai-Anna Carter: The long time. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I Oh God, I've taken losses. I've taken, Yeah, no, I've taken a couple losses for sure. Mm-hmm. One of the things too, [00:35:00] I'm gonna talk from a, almost like a different perspective, cuz I feel like we all have taken losses in some way. , but in one way. Also with partnerships too, we have to remember that these are transactional things.

Thank you. And so even though we might come in, we say, Okay, both of us are gonna invest this amount of money or gonna invest this amount of time. We also have to make sure that we're communicating with them as clear as possible. Because they might present something, they're like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

And then just like with a client, you get there and you're like, Oh, this is not what it is. Yeah. I had, you know, you know, if y'all listen to this thing, you know, I love you so much, . But that was horrible. Like, Oh my God, I have to give this only because like, I feel like it's very, Yeah, it's very constructive.

So coming out to a. The partner came late, the partner brought extra people, the partners, people didn't wanna interact. And it's like, you know, whatever you do in the constructive in the planning phase, make sure [00:36:00] the people that you're bringing with you. Like they know what they're doing. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

don't just tell them to show up. Actually have those right people for this right thing so that they know exactly what they're doing. Give them questions ahead of time. You know, preplan have that stuff ready. And then if you're late, communicate that. Mm-hmm. , a lot of people don't like to do that. Oh Lord, that's 

[00:36:17] Ta-Myia: my biggest thing.

Don't waste my time. I don't even care. Just a minute. If 

[00:36:21] Jai-Anna Carter: you tell me you're late, I'm fine. Just tell me. Cause maybe I need to stop by the story too. 

[00:36:26] Ta-Myia: Text 

[00:36:27] Mic: tomorrow, , You better, You better. 

[00:36:30] Jai-Anna Carter: It's just that simple. You know what I Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I mean, I had to learn that too. Like everything that I'm saying like is, is it is twofold.

Like at the end of the day, like sometimes I'm the one that's running late, sometimes I'm the one that forgot my freaking memory card and. Stop by the car real quick. Charge your camera. Charge your cameras. Remember to bring the battery. Oh yeah. So yeah, don't leave cables at home. Don't do it. Always have that backup stuff.

Like if I have somebody coming with me, I'm like, Just make sure you have that other bag. Yes. Don't 

[00:36:59] Ta-Myia: give it a [00:37:00] notice. Bug out bag. Yeah. 

[00:37:00] Mic: Can have that bug out bag with all the emergency 

[00:37:02] Jai-Anna Carter: buzz. Right. All the stuff. We don't have time to stop. So like, you know, time is money, but for sure like, Having that same relationship with the partners and with their clients and just having that with that relationship.

You know, just be open and honest. Like, And that's something I had to learn too. Like, it's like, okay, this, if this changes, I'm just let you know you gonna have to come up off that budget. Like I have it . 

[00:37:24] DJ And?: That's something that Beanie C will tell somebody. I need you to come up off that budget. Yeah. 

[00:37:27] Jai-Anna Carter: Like I haven't like went back and said, Hey, this gonna be an extra.

But I have seen situations where, yeah, I was talking like, Oh dang, I messed up. I'm gonna just have to take this L. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, that's just a lesson learned really . Wow. So you know, being a business owner 

[00:37:46] Ta-Myia: comes with a hectic lifestyle. You kind of talked about this earlier about workflow. How do you manage to balance your work life and your 

[00:37:52] Jai-Anna Carter: personal life?

Right. So, Going back a little bit. So yeah, kind of just kind of killing two birds with [00:38:00] one stone. In a sense. If I, you know, when I wake up, let me make sure I'm checking my phone. I'm not just checking it for Instagram and everything, but I'm also gonna check it for my email. 

[00:38:08] Ta-Myia: Oh 

[00:38:09] Mic: man. Those emails are so exciting to look at.

First thing, it's 

[00:38:11] Jai-Anna Carter: exciting. Yeah. Oh, 

[00:38:14] Mic: but you're right. But you're right. This is to something I'm horrible about and I just, I just went and sent timers on my phone, so I gotta check my email three times for real. Swear to you. Yeah, I have to do 

[00:38:23] Ta-Myia: that. That's you got, I have all my notifications turned off on everything, so I have to check.

So it makes me like, you have to check this. I don't want, I don't, I don't like on my phone just 

[00:38:33] Jai-Anna Carter: ding, ding, ding, all day. I, I'd rather it ding because then I think I'm lame and everybody has lost interest in me, so I have to, I need that gratification.

[00:38:49] DJ And?: Oh 

[00:38:49] Jai-Anna Carter: yeah. You're ready. You're ready. Oh. Yeah. I'm like, man, yeah. They just don't, they're not feeling me today. Whatever I posted on Instagram, it is just not moving. I don't, I don't wanna know. I'ma just have the deactivate page at this [00:39:00] point. So , gosh, total, total confidence. You sure you ain't got like an 

[00:39:04] Mic: aquarium moon or something?

Sound pretty Aquarium . 

[00:39:12] Jai-Anna Carter: Y'all might know more than me cuz. I mean, I just, I just look at, you know, that daily scorp on Instagram, but, that also might be a little predicting. So yeah, 

[00:39:22] Ta-Myia: back to our regular schedule program. So what can we expect from you in the near future? Yeah. 

[00:39:27] Jai-Anna Carter: So I, Especially with your business too.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. So hmm. I am doing some contracts with my job, so just kind of give them a little promotional thing. So I work for the South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families. This is like one of the only statewide programs. Cater to men that are trying to get back into their child's life, trying to get their family back together, trying to fight for they woman.

And not only that, but like, you know, if they have something on their record, help you get this off your record, help you get a budget, buy a car, get a house. All these [00:40:00] things to be a functional man in society. And ultimately you're helping to be a better father for your family and for the community. Yes.

So they have six local organizations around South Carolina. Wherever you go, We are there, we are watching you. And basically I am doing a lot of contracting with them, helping them spread the word a lot more. And so with that, being a client and not a actual job anymore working with them and also like, just recruiting guys just in these different areas because South Carolina is one of those places.

Mm-hmm. , it's, it is, Oh God, what's the statistics? It is, Mm. I. A, it's 460,000 children living in a single parent home in South Carolina alone. 

[00:40:48] Mic: Four and a half million total populations. Yes. And so we talking 

[00:40:53] Jai-Anna Carter: Yeah. Percent. Yeah. Quick match y'all. Quick match. Yeah. So we are working [00:41:00] tirelessly to work and get these men back in the house because you know, per man, per man, it is at least two to three child, so two to three children.

So yeah, we spreading words seriously, so, Yep, that's, that's one of the things I'm working on, man. And. The other thing as far as business wise I have two partnerships. One is with the Carolina Film Studio, and that is off of Raven Road in Columbia, South Carolina. They. Or a new studio. Yeah, they're, they're doing it.

They're killing it. So you know, if you are looking for any place to shoot, any place to get involved with, they have a podcast station. They have a makeshift kitchen area.

[00:41:42] Mic: Like, 

[00:41:43] Jai-Anna Carter: Oh yeah.
