Brady Puryear is the Founder & CEO of Blacksmith Print Co. a luxury album & wall art manufacturer based Southern California since 2013. Brady the owner was a full time wedding photographer from 2007 through 2018 photographing nearly 500 weddings over that time.
Brady provides a wealth of knowledge on creating desire rather than convincing clients, engaging them in the design process, and effectively managing pricing strategies to ensure profitability. He also shares personal anecdotes and practical tips for building strong client relationships that drive referrals and repeat business.
"If we can just design with the client, then all of a sudden, as soon as the wedding is being done, edited, and if you're using Imagen, hopefully, very quickly, then you can just schedule that meeting closer to when the event actually happened and excitement is still high."Why You Should Listen

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
