So let's get into kind of yourbusiness journey.
And at eight years old and 13years old it's kind of strange
to have a business journey.
But how long have y'all beendoing this?
Harper Galloway (04:32):
Three years Yep .
Three, three years Because ouranniversary is on February 1st.
Mike Gennaro (04:39):
Yeah, yeah, bailey , why don't you tell us how it
got started?
Bailey Galloway (04:45):
So Christmas of 2020, 2020, when the world was
completely shut down, we weremaking Christmas holiday treats
at home and you know we weren'tdoing the regular cookies or
cupcakes or stuff like that.
So we were dipping um cookiesand pretzels into chocolate and
kind of decorating them yeah soHarper got bored.
She was like I want to watch amovie, I want to watch a movie
and after like the fifth time ofasking, mom was like, okay, pop
(05:07):
the popcorn, watch the movie.
So we took um all the popcornthat she had popped and all the
leftover treats we had made andput it together.
And that was the night that Iwas like wow, I think we got
something yeah, so at 10 yearsold you're like I think we got
it, let's go to market right butI think I've remembered uh, I
think we got it.
Mike Gennaro (05:24):
Let's go to market , right?
But I think I've rememberedpassing you guys up at like Red
Stick Farmer's Market and thengoing back because I felt guilty
and y'all were little kids andy'all were doing such an amazing
job at sales.
I bought some popcorn but y'ally'all were like famous for your
sales woman ship.
Harper Galloway (05:43):
Yes, it's like every time you go to a farmer
circuit or something and then Ilike turn back or something, and
then I come back up and I seethem talking to my mom talking
about oh, she's a great salesmanyeah, yeah.
Mike Gennaro (05:59):
I would almost say , like your salesmanship is is
just as good as the productitself if not better that's,
that's like your main thing yeahhow?
How did y'all become littlesales mutants?
Harper Galloway (06:11):
um, well, it took, it took effort.
Um, it was hard, it wasn'treally anything.
I mean, we did compete when wego to other things, but it
wasn't really competing becauseour business is unique and we
don't find a lot of businessesthat have popcorn with trail mix
(06:32):
and stuff.
I mean, we find businesses withbutter, like at lsu.
They have concessions and theyask where the butter popcorn is,
but not, we're not reallycompeting against them because
we know that butter popcorn iskind of lame.
Mike Gennaro (06:48):
It's different.
Sorry, not sorry.
Bailey Galloway (06:52):
But our, I don't know.
I just remember.
I really don't remember, likewhen we, how we started, um, I
just remember that we had to doan opening whenever we were
starting our Instagram page oflike hi, we are this, this and
that, and it was kind of like ashark tank commercial, like we
have 30 seconds go, like that,and I know my mom she was like
(07:12):
squeaking us as we did it.
And that day, like in thatsetting, we had came up with the
commercial and I don't knowwhat.
45 minutes to an hour yeah andafter that, like the marketing
part just clicked.
Yeah, other than when we firststarted at farmer's markets and
after every customer it was acritique, something that we
could fix about it right, mom'sgood at the constructive
(07:33):
criticism.
Mike Gennaro (07:33):
yeah, yeah, have you ever okay, all right, got a
tough one?
Have you ever gotten kind ofimpatient or a little prideful,
like you know what, mom?
It's been three years, I got mypitch down All the time.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Seriously.
Mike Gennaro (07:46):
So y'all are normal, right?
Yeah, I don't want tointimidate everybody out there.
Harper Galloway (07:51):
Sometimes we'll go to an event and then she's
like what's wrong and we're likenothing.
And then she's like what'swrong and we're like nothing.
And then she's like you guysprobably don't want to be here,
yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Like a coach, right, I mean that's just a part of it
it is a part of it.
Mike Gennaro (08:08):
Yeah.
Ebony Harper (08:08):
Because I mean.
Mike Gennaro (08:10):
Yeah, yeah, you're mic'd, yeah, okay.
Ebony Harper (08:12):
So I mean and I say that because, like Because
it's one thing to be 5 and 10with a great idea and it's okay
also to sell online visuallywith social media platforms, but
when we got to Zachary Farmer'sMarket, it was the real deal.
You have people in front of youand they're watching your body
language and they're watchinghow do you say things and how do
(08:33):
you explain it, what's theshelf life and what's?
Mike Gennaro (08:35):
the profit margin.
This is food we're talkingabout.
Ebony Harper (08:38):
Exactly, there's regulation involved, yeah,
you're like whoa, wait, hold on,you know, yeah, and so for them
to be five and ten, it was veryimportant for me to make sure
they they own that space Ididn't want to be the mom, just
like oh yeah, my kids are.
This is the brand and they'rethe brand of the company.
But I actually run it.
Yeah, I told them, you know,day one and they'll tell you.
I told them day one, if this isyour baby, you're going to rock
(09:00):
it.
Yeah, and I'll be here to backyou.
Mike Gennaro (09:01):
But you know, when we get there, it's showtime you
know, and you're not going toalways want to be there, but
this this is what you say youwant to do, um, all right, so
(09:22):
let's, let's talk a little bitabout, uh, this, this new
transition y'all are makingright now.
Y'all are growing and that'snot always easy for companies,
um, so y'all are youngentrepreneurs, but y'all are the
real deal, so it's just as hardfor y'all as it is for mark
zuckerberg or whoever rightright, it really is.
So tell me some of thechallenges that um that y'all
perceive from growing thecapacity it's not.
Bailey Galloway (09:42):
The workload isn't horrible, but being at lsu
it's like we have sometimes twoto three games a day yeah at
lsu and then it's like you'rethere kind of all day, um, and
we're still tired from likepractice because, as you know, I
run track and harper's doingsoftball.
So, uh, we both have like, wehave practice, we have school,
(10:06):
and then we're both maintaininglike our 4.0 gpa.
So we have to like kind ofstudy on the way there, work
study on the way home, and assoon as you get home, like it's
time for bed so you can wake upand do it all over again.
Yeah, yeah.
So the growing part is justlike trying to juggle or balance
, in a way, school athletics andthen like the workload yeah,
absolutely.
Mike Gennaro (10:27):
And y'all are doing this big kickstarter
campaign.
Uh, why don't y'all, why don'tyou take that one ebony?
Ebony Harper (10:31):
yeah, so we're doing the kickstarter campaign
right now, um to really allow umto bailey's point us to expand,
you know, to be able to hireemployees and to be able to have
a space in a place that we cancall home, right?
So we're looking for a flagship.
We're looking for a place thatwe can um have customers come
(10:52):
and visit and get the entireposh pop experience, of course,
at farmer's market, when we'rein our popcorn truck, as well as
when we're at lsu.
Yes, we give phenomenal service.
We have a phenomenal productthere.
But the number one question weget is where can we find you
when you're not here?
Mike Gennaro (11:07):
seriously, yeah, yeah, we get that question like
you want to come visit a lot,yeah, okay they want to come
visit, they want the product,they want to try more flavors,
because every time we pop up,obviously we're only bringing a
subset of our actual flavors.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
We have a total of 32 got it, but typically when we
set up, yeah when we have onlyfour to six.
Ebony Harper (11:25):
And so they're, you know, they love that product
and they love that flavor yeahand then, after they get to the
fourth flavor and they're stillin love, they're like wait, you
have more you know yeah so, um,we're really looking um to.
We're hoping that this campaignhelps us to launch something
really special in Zachary.
Mike Gennaro (11:43):
Keep listening, We'll be right back.

.
Yeah, I love the loyalty toZachary and you know just clear
in the air.
We did this kind of dance wherewe were trying to be neighbors
(12:47):
here at the press and all, andthen, unfortunately, we just
lost our anchor.
Ebony Harper (12:51):
Yeah.
Mike Gennaro (12:52):
And you know, yeah , so I do want people to know
that and clear the air.
But y'all are committed toZachary.
That's the sure thing, and Ithink that's incredible, because
this is where the roots areright.
Yeah, yeah, so you're tryingto-.
Ebony Harper (13:06):
This is where we can inspire and impact we
believe the most.
Right, yeah, I mean, thesegirls are in school in the
Zachary School District.
We live here.
We started at Zachary Farmer'sMarket every Saturday faithfully
for over a year, and so for us,for their peers and for other
(13:29):
families, we feel like we can bethe most impactful and
inspiring here, where it allstarted.
I mean we could go to BatonRouge, but the story wouldn't be
the same.
Mike Gennaro (13:33):
It's another business.
Yeah, the story wouldn't be thesame, Bailey.
I'm going to give you this onetoo.
Yeah, so it wouldn't be thesame, Bailey.
I'm going to give you this onetoo.
What can a business do?
What can small business dobetter in Zachary?
You've experienced otherbusinesses and we're not going
to call anybody out but we doget this reputation for small
(13:56):
businesses struggling and notbeing viable enough in Zachary.
What is it that's happening andwhat can we do better?
Bailey Galloway (14:04):
I think some parts of it are employees.
I think like I'm a very I don'twant to say critical.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
No, you're a critic.
Ebony Harper (14:13):
I'm a critic.
Bailey Galloway (14:14):
Like, I think employees and customer service
is very important and a lot ofthe small businesses that I've
come into contact with that isin Zachary, a lot of them.
I've met the owners and theowners are very nice.
But for the ones that do haveemployees, some of the employees
can be kind of blunt in thebest way possible I understand
(14:36):
everyone has their bad days inthe best way possible.
You know I understand everyonehas like their bad days, but I
feel like the employees can runyou out of business just because
you can have the greatestproduct in the world, but nobody
wants to really deal with that.
And I also think that you knowlike the workload is kind of
large, right, simplest way it's.
It's a lot so to hat.
Like.
(14:56):
I understand that employees arevery, very important to be able
to run the business and stillexpand yourself, but I think
it's like the most critical partis to take time to like get to
know your employee before youkind of, yeah, put them up there
just to do whatever they'regoing to do.
Wow that's.
Mike Gennaro (15:12):
That's definitely some wisdom there for sure.
Um, I love the confidence y'ally'all both have and it's it's
an incredible thing.
Um, like we all know, y'all aregoing to be just as big as you
are now, but better, right, it'sgoing to be an incredible thing
to watch.
So, um, y'all, we've got likefive minutes to kind of wrap on
this and it's.
(15:33):
We've got a, and it's notbecause I'm busy, no.
You guys have a practicesomewhere.
Yeah, so where are y'all headedtoday, ivory?
Harper Galloway (15:42):
I'm headed to softball practice and she's
headed to track.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah yeah.
Harper Galloway (15:46):
There is one thing I want to say.
Sure An encouraging word orsomething.
So when you start a business,if you want to start a business,
some tips.
First, do something you like.
(16:07):
Like, don't do something thatyour friend may want to do, but
then you want to go and help her, but you don't really like that
, you just want to do it.
Do something that you like,because some days, if you don't
like it, you don't like sellingit.
Um, and also karen loma baileysaid have good employees, good
to be, good to meet them.
Um, good customer service.
(16:29):
And uh, you can do anything youput your mind to, because even
if something's impossible, theword itself is spelled I am
possible.
So just do it and do somethingyou love.
Mike Gennaro (16:49):
Yeah, awesome Bailey, can you take one on on
that same note.
Bailey Galloway (16:55):
Yeah, can you uh take one on on on that same
note.
Yeah, so I think that you haveto have a certain level of
bravery yeah just to be able toum, especially like for kids
just to be able to go to afarmer's market and compete with
some.
Not compete, but you know be inthe same um area.
Mike Gennaro (17:13):
I go to a farmer's market with seven bucks, I mean
somebody, somebody's getting itand I'm cheap, right.
Bailey Galloway (17:19):
So um to compete with.
You know people or adultswho've had their business for
however long who've?
been in the business.
It's a family business, it'spassed down or whatever,
whatever.
Um, and even like adultsstarting their business, you
have to have a lot of courage tobe able to do it.
So, like harper said, dosomething that you love.
So, like, if it does get hard,you're not like well, I didn't
(17:39):
really like it anyway.
So and then kind of just stop,um, because it takes a lot to
keep going.
But once you kind of see thebig picture and see what
everything will turn out to be,if you just keep persevering
through it, um, it can turn outreally, really well yeah awesome
, awesome, we'll give mom lastwords.
Ebony Harper (17:57):
Um, I want to know what you have to say to
other parents so to otherparents, you know well, no to
other parents, what I would sayis, first and foremost um, um,
this was my kid's idea.
You know, and I think oftentimesas parents, we are very busy.
(18:20):
I had a full-time job when Istarted this brand new newborn
baby.
When I started this, um hadjust moved to Zachary, you know.
So I had a lot of things thatcould have potentially been
challenges for me.
When you know, it was COVID,the world was closed, people
were dying.
Like it wasn't necessarily theideal time to start a business,
if I'm honest.
(18:41):
so, um, I would just say youknow, slow down, listen to your
kids.
Um, you'll be surprised whatthey have in their mind.
Um, when the girl said, whenthe girls got together and and
did this, and I came back in theroom and they were like, oh my
God, this is so good, this is sogood, you should try some, I
reacted like a mom.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yeah.
Ebony Harper (19:01):
I'm like that's supposed to be in Ziploc bags.
Mike Gennaro (19:04):
Right, it could have been over.
Ebony Harper (19:06):
Yeah, the task was exactly the task was put
everything in Ziploc bags.
How did we get here Like?
I'm just be honest, and theyknow that, and so you know.
initially, it was I fussed I did.
I was like wait, what you know,yeah, and so, um, but as I saw
the excitement on their face andthey were like no, this is
(19:27):
really good.
And then I tasted it, I'm like,oh, this is actually really
good popcorn, yeah, never eventhought to do that and that part
was a pivot at that moment,right.
So it was like a pivot to openup and really like listen and
engage.
And when Bailey said, mommy, Ithink we got something, it was
like okay, I kind of thought, oh, that's cute, you know yeah we
got something we got somethingwe can give to thinking, gosh, I
(19:49):
gotta sell a thousand bags ofthis or whatever.
Right, but even at that moment Iwas just thinking we got
something to pass the family andfriends as a treat, not as a
business.
It was a happy accident, yeah,but essentially, these two girls
spent the next 48 hours.
All they could talk about is ifI had a popcorn company.
And so we live in a world whereit's not like when you and I
(20:13):
were younger.
You know we were actually happyto open a gift at Christmas.
Most of these kids already kindof know what they're getting.
Harper Galloway (20:20):
You know what I mean.
Ebony Harper (20:20):
They kind of have an idea based on what was on
the list, et cetera, et cetera.
Most kids have more than whatthey need honestly, we all do,
you know, in this era, but Icouldn't think of anything else
to get them for Christmas butthis business.
I mean that's just what it was.
It was three days beforeChristmas.
The world was shut down.
It's not like we can goshopping them all and I said,
(20:45):
wow, I'm going to takeeverything that they said they
would do if they had a businessand I'm going to put it on paper
I could do everything online,you know.
And so, um, I was able to dothat and gift them with it for
Christmas, and I never reallyasked them.
That's a good question, becauseI never asked them what they
felt about getting it forChristmas, because it literally
was their Christmas gift, yeah,and so.
But they were over the moonexcited Now how they felt inside
(21:07):
or the next day when theylooked around and didn't have a
real gift.
You know, that they can actuallytangibly play with, or whatever
I don't know.
But they were excited in thatmoment that I had made this idea
, this, you know, dream thatthey were thinking through, come
into reality.
And so, you know, as a parent,I would just say, I mean, we're
(21:29):
normal.
They fuzz, they go back andforth.
They're five years apart.
They were five and 10 when theystarted and Harper would listen
to everything Bailey said.
Now she's eight, she's's like.
I've been doing this for threeyears, just like you, you know.
Mike Gennaro (21:41):
So asking for pay raises.
Yeah, the whole nine.
Ebony Harper (21:44):
You know they're like okay, so how much am I
getting more per bag?
You know so we, we have thesame discussions and
conversations that people havein their traditional homes um
the.
The thing that these girls havethat I think is something
special is their discipline.
Mike Gennaro (22:00):
Yeah, there it is, you know their discipline and
they want it.
Ebony Harper (22:03):
They see the big picture, they have the buy in.
I've created the platform forthem in terms of, you know,
putting their business in order,but when they show up, it's go
time you know, and that's justwhat it is.
And like they say, yep, they'retired, we have long nights, but
we also play hard.
You know, we, we, we work hard,but they know we play hard.
(22:25):
When we go to Disney, it's likeenjoy yourself you know what I
mean?
Yeah, like and they get littleextra.
You know incentives, you knowfor doing.
You know for the 4.0 and beingexempt from, you know from exams

and just listen.
You know, just just see whatyour kid is really interested in
yeah and then whether theydecide to do popcorn from now to
(23:08):
forever or whether this issomething that ends up in stores
and they serve their companyoff in 20 years and say, hey, I
think, I think I want to dosomething else.
It's theirs, it's their baby torock, and I mean that and I
tell them that all the time.

Nice Shout out to all the Scotlandville Magnet
High School grads out there.
There are many of you out therelistening.
So all right, it's enough withthe lightning round.
So let's get into kind of yourbusiness journey.
And at eight years old and 13years old it's kind of strange
to have a business journey.
But how long have y'all beendoing this?
Harper Galloway (04:32):
Three years Yep .
Three, three years Because ouranniversary is on February 1st.
Mike Gennaro (04:39):
Yeah, yeah, bailey , why don't you tell us how it
got started?
Bailey Galloway (04:45):
So Christmas of 2020, 2020, when the world was
completely shut down, we weremaking Christmas holiday treats
at home and you know we weren'tdoing the regular cookies or
cupcakes or stuff like that.
So we were dipping um cookiesand pretzels into chocolate and
kind of decorating them yeah soHarper got bored.
She was like I want to watch amovie, I want to watch a movie
and after like the fifth time ofasking, mom was like, okay, pop
(05:07):
the popcorn, watch the movie.
So we took um all the popcornthat she had popped and all the
leftover treats we had made andput it together.
And that was the night that Iwas like wow, I think we got
something yeah, so at 10 yearsold you're like I think we got
it, let's go to market right butI think I've remembered uh, I
think we got it.
Mike Gennaro (05:24):
Let's go to market , right?
But I think I've rememberedpassing you guys up at like Red
Stick Farmer's Market and thengoing back because I felt guilty
and y'all were little kids andy'all were doing such an amazing
job at sales.
I bought some popcorn but y'ally'all were like famous for your
sales woman ship.
Harper Galloway (05:43):
Yes, it's like every time you go to a farmer
circuit or something and then Ilike turn back or something, and
then I come back up and I seethem talking to my mom talking
about oh, she's a great salesmanyeah, yeah.
Mike Gennaro (05:59):
I would almost say , like your salesmanship is is
just as good as the productitself if not better that's,
that's like your main thing yeahhow?
How did y'all become littlesales mutants?
Harper Galloway (06:11):
um, well, it took, it took effort.
Um, it was hard, it wasn'treally anything.
I mean, we did compete when wego to other things, but it
wasn't really competing becauseour business is unique and we
don't find a lot of businessesthat have popcorn with trail mix
(06:32):
and stuff.
I mean, we find businesses withbutter, like at lsu.
They have concessions and theyask where the butter popcorn is,
but not, we're not reallycompeting against them because
we know that butter popcorn iskind of lame.
Mike Gennaro (06:48):
It's different.
Sorry, not sorry.
Bailey Galloway (06:52):
But our, I don't know.
I just remember.
I really don't remember, likewhen we, how we started, um, I
just remember that we had to doan opening whenever we were
starting our Instagram page oflike hi, we are this, this and
that, and it was kind of like ashark tank commercial, like we
have 30 seconds go, like that,and I know my mom she was like
(07:12):
squeaking us as we did it.
And that day, like in thatsetting, we had came up with the
commercial and I don't knowwhat.
45 minutes to an hour yeah andafter that, like the marketing
part just clicked.
Yeah, other than when we firststarted at farmer's markets and
after every customer it was acritique, something that we
could fix about it right, mom'sgood at the constructive
(07:33):
criticism.
Mike Gennaro (07:33):
yeah, yeah, have you ever okay, all right, got a
tough one?
Have you ever gotten kind ofimpatient or a little prideful,
like you know what, mom?
It's been three years, I got mypitch down All the time.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Seriously.
Mike Gennaro (07:46):
So y'all are normal, right?
Yeah, I don't want tointimidate everybody out there.
Harper Galloway (07:51):
Sometimes we'll go to an event and then she's
like what's wrong and we're likenothing.
And then she's like what'swrong and we're like nothing.
And then she's like you guysprobably don't want to be here,
yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Like a coach, right, I mean that's just a part of it
it is a part of it.
Mike Gennaro (08:08):
Yeah.
Ebony Harper (08:08):
Because I mean.
Mike Gennaro (08:10):
Yeah, yeah, you're mic'd, yeah, okay.
Ebony Harper (08:12):
So I mean and I say that because, like Because
it's one thing to be 5 and 10with a great idea and it's okay
also to sell online visuallywith social media platforms, but
when we got to Zachary Farmer'sMarket, it was the real deal.
You have people in front of youand they're watching your body
language and they're watchinghow do you say things and how do
(08:33):
you explain it, what's theshelf life and what's?
Mike Gennaro (08:35):
the profit margin.
This is food we're talkingabout.
Ebony Harper (08:38):
Exactly, there's regulation involved, yeah,
you're like whoa, wait, hold on,you know, yeah, and so for them
to be five and ten, it was veryimportant for me to make sure
they they own that space Ididn't want to be the mom, just
like oh yeah, my kids are.
This is the brand and they'rethe brand of the company.
But I actually run it.
Yeah, I told them, you know,day one and they'll tell you.
I told them day one, if this isyour baby, you're going to rock
(09:00):
it.
Yeah, and I'll be here to backyou.
Mike Gennaro (09:01):
But you know, when we get there, it's showtime you
know, and you're not going toalways want to be there, but
this this is what you say youwant to do, um, all right, so
(09:22):
let's, let's talk a little bitabout, uh, this, this new
transition y'all are makingright now.
Y'all are growing and that'snot always easy for companies,
um, so y'all are youngentrepreneurs, but y'all are the
real deal, so it's just as hardfor y'all as it is for mark
zuckerberg or whoever rightright, it really is.
So tell me some of thechallenges that um that y'all
perceive from growing thecapacity it's not.
Bailey Galloway (09:42):
The workload isn't horrible, but being at lsu
it's like we have sometimes twoto three games a day yeah at
lsu and then it's like you'rethere kind of all day, um, and
we're still tired from likepractice because, as you know, I
run track and harper's doingsoftball.
So, uh, we both have like, wehave practice, we have school,
(10:06):
and then we're both maintaininglike our 4.0 gpa.
So we have to like kind ofstudy on the way there, work
study on the way home, and assoon as you get home, like it's
time for bed so you can wake upand do it all over again.
Yeah, yeah.
So the growing part is justlike trying to juggle or balance
, in a way, school athletics andthen like the workload yeah,
absolutely.
Mike Gennaro (10:27):
And y'all are doing this big kickstarter
campaign.
Uh, why don't y'all, why don'tyou take that one ebony?
Ebony Harper (10:31):
yeah, so we're doing the kickstarter campaign
right now, um to really allow umto bailey's point us to expand,
you know, to be able to hireemployees and to be able to have
a space in a place that we cancall home, right?
So we're looking for a flagship.
We're looking for a place thatwe can um have customers come
(10:52):
and visit and get the entireposh pop experience, of course,
at farmer's market, when we'rein our popcorn truck, as well as
when we're at lsu.
Yes, we give phenomenal service.
We have a phenomenal productthere.
But the number one question weget is where can we find you
when you're not here?
Mike Gennaro (11:07):
seriously, yeah, yeah, we get that question like
you want to come visit a lot,yeah, okay they want to come
visit, they want the product,they want to try more flavors,
because every time we pop up,obviously we're only bringing a
subset of our actual flavors.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
We have a total of 32 got it, but typically when we
set up, yeah when we have onlyfour to six.
Ebony Harper (11:25):
And so they're, you know, they love that product
and they love that flavor yeahand then, after they get to the
fourth flavor and they're stillin love, they're like wait, you
have more you know yeah so, um,we're really looking um to.
We're hoping that this campaignhelps us to launch something
really special in Zachary.
Mike Gennaro (11:43):
Keep listening, We'll be right back.

.
Yeah, I love the loyalty toZachary and you know just clear
in the air.
We did this kind of dance wherewe were trying to be neighbors
(12:47):
here at the press and all, andthen, unfortunately, we just
lost our anchor.
Ebony Harper (12:51):
Yeah.
Mike Gennaro (12:52):
And you know, yeah , so I do want people to know
that and clear the air.
But y'all are committed toZachary.
That's the sure thing, and Ithink that's incredible, because
this is where the roots areright.
Yeah, yeah, so you're tryingto-.
Ebony Harper (13:06):
This is where we can inspire and impact we
believe the most.
Right, yeah, I mean, thesegirls are in school in the
Zachary School District.
We live here.
We started at Zachary Farmer'sMarket every Saturday faithfully
for over a year, and so for us,for their peers and for other
(13:29):
families, we feel like we can bethe most impactful and
inspiring here, where it allstarted.
I mean we could go to BatonRouge, but the story wouldn't be
the same.
Mike Gennaro (13:33):
It's another business.
Yeah, the story wouldn't be thesame, Bailey.
I'm going to give you this onetoo.
Yeah, so it wouldn't be thesame, Bailey.
I'm going to give you this onetoo.
What can a business do?
What can small business dobetter in Zachary?
You've experienced otherbusinesses and we're not going
to call anybody out but we doget this reputation for small
(13:56):
businesses struggling and notbeing viable enough in Zachary.
What is it that's happening andwhat can we do better?
Bailey Galloway (14:04):
I think some parts of it are employees.
I think like I'm a very I don'twant to say critical.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
No, you're a critic.
Ebony Harper (14:13):
I'm a critic.
Bailey Galloway (14:14):
Like, I think employees and customer service
is very important and a lot ofthe small businesses that I've
come into contact with that isin Zachary, a lot of them.
I've met the owners and theowners are very nice.
But for the ones that do haveemployees, some of the employees
can be kind of blunt in thebest way possible I understand
(14:36):
everyone has their bad days inthe best way possible.
You know I understand everyonehas like their bad days, but I
feel like the employees can runyou out of business just because
you can have the greatestproduct in the world, but nobody
wants to really deal with that.
And I also think that you knowlike the workload is kind of
large, right, simplest way it's.
It's a lot so to hat.
Like.
(14:56):
I understand that employees arevery, very important to be able
to run the business and stillexpand yourself, but I think
it's like the most critical partis to take time to like get to
know your employee before youkind of, yeah, put them up there
just to do whatever they'regoing to do.
Wow that's.
Mike Gennaro (15:12):
That's definitely some wisdom there for sure.
Um, I love the confidence y'ally'all both have and it's it's
an incredible thing.
Um, like we all know, y'all aregoing to be just as big as you
are now, but better, right, it'sgoing to be an incredible thing
to watch.
So, um, y'all, we've got likefive minutes to kind of wrap on
this and it's.
(15:33):
We've got a, and it's notbecause I'm busy, no.
You guys have a practicesomewhere.
Yeah, so where are y'all headedtoday, ivory?
Harper Galloway (15:42):
I'm headed to softball practice and she's
headed to track.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah yeah.
Harper Galloway (15:46):
There is one thing I want to say.
Sure An encouraging word orsomething.
So when you start a business,if you want to start a business,
some tips.
First, do something you like.
(16:07):
Like, don't do something thatyour friend may want to do, but
then you want to go and help her, but you don't really like that
, you just want to do it.
Do something that you like,because some days, if you don't
like it, you don't like sellingit.
Um, and also karen loma baileysaid have good employees, good
to be, good to meet them.
Um, good customer service.
(16:29):
And uh, you can do anything youput your mind to, because even
if something's impossible, theword itself is spelled I am
possible.
So just do it and do somethingyou love.
Mike Gennaro (16:49):
Yeah, awesome Bailey, can you take one on on
that same note.
Bailey Galloway (16:55):
Yeah, can you uh take one on on on that same
note.
Yeah, so I think that you haveto have a certain level of
bravery yeah just to be able toum, especially like for kids
just to be able to go to afarmer's market and compete with
some.
Not compete, but you know be inthe same um area.
Mike Gennaro (17:13):
I go to a farmer's market with seven bucks, I mean
somebody, somebody's getting itand I'm cheap, right.
Bailey Galloway (17:19):
So um to compete with.
You know people or adultswho've had their business for
however long who've?
been in the business.
It's a family business, it'spassed down or whatever,
whatever.
Um, and even like adultsstarting their business, you
have to have a lot of courage tobe able to do it.
So, like harper said, dosomething that you love.
So, like, if it does get hard,you're not like well, I didn't
(17:39):
really like it anyway.
So and then kind of just stop,um, because it takes a lot to
keep going.
But once you kind of see thebig picture and see what
everything will turn out to be,if you just keep persevering
through it, um, it can turn outreally, really well yeah awesome
, awesome, we'll give mom lastwords.
Ebony Harper (17:57):
Um, I want to know what you have to say to
other parents so to otherparents, you know well, no to
other parents, what I would sayis, first and foremost um, um,
this was my kid's idea.
You know, and I think oftentimesas parents, we are very busy.
(18:20):
I had a full-time job when Istarted this brand new newborn
baby.
When I started this, um hadjust moved to Zachary, you know.
So I had a lot of things thatcould have potentially been
challenges for me.
When you know, it was COVID,the world was closed, people
were dying.
Like it wasn't necessarily theideal time to start a business,
if I'm honest.
(18:41):
so, um, I would just say youknow, slow down, listen to your
kids.
Um, you'll be surprised whatthey have in their mind.
Um, when the girl said, whenthe girls got together and and
did this, and I came back in theroom and they were like, oh my
God, this is so good, this is sogood, you should try some, I
reacted like a mom.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yeah.
Ebony Harper (19:01):
I'm like that's supposed to be in Ziploc bags.
Mike Gennaro (19:04):
Right, it could have been over.
Ebony Harper (19:06):
Yeah, the task was exactly the task was put
everything in Ziploc bags.
How did we get here Like?
I'm just be honest, and theyknow that, and so you know.
initially, it was I fussed I did.
I was like wait, what you know,yeah, and so, um, but as I saw
the excitement on their face andthey were like no, this is
(19:27):
really good.
And then I tasted it, I'm like,oh, this is actually really
good popcorn, yeah, never eventhought to do that and that part
was a pivot at that moment,right.
So it was like a pivot to openup and really like listen and
engage.
And when Bailey said, mommy, Ithink we got something, it was
like okay, I kind of thought, oh, that's cute, you know yeah we
got something we got somethingwe can give to thinking, gosh, I
(19:49):
gotta sell a thousand bags ofthis or whatever.
Right, but even at that moment Iwas just thinking we got
something to pass the family andfriends as a treat, not as a
business.
It was a happy accident, yeah,but essentially, these two girls
spent the next 48 hours.
All they could talk about is ifI had a popcorn company.
And so we live in a world whereit's not like when you and I
(20:13):
were younger.
You know we were actually happyto open a gift at Christmas.
Most of these kids already kindof know what they're getting.
Harper Galloway (20:20):
You know what I mean.
Ebony Harper (20:20):
They kind of have an idea based on what was on
the list, et cetera, et cetera.
Most kids have more than whatthey need honestly, we all do,
you know, in this era, but Icouldn't think of anything else
to get them for Christmas butthis business.
I mean that's just what it was.
It was three days beforeChristmas.
The world was shut down.
It's not like we can goshopping them all and I said,
(20:45):
wow, I'm going to takeeverything that they said they
would do if they had a businessand I'm going to put it on paper
I could do everything online,you know.
And so, um, I was able to dothat and gift them with it for
Christmas, and I never reallyasked them.
That's a good question, becauseI never asked them what they
felt about getting it forChristmas, because it literally
was their Christmas gift, yeah,and so.
But they were over the moonexcited Now how they felt inside
(21:07):
or the next day when theylooked around and didn't have a
real gift.
You know, that they can actuallytangibly play with, or whatever
I don't know.
But they were excited in thatmoment that I had made this idea
, this, you know, dream thatthey were thinking through, come
into reality.
And so, you know, as a parent,I would just say, I mean, we're
(21:29):
normal.
They fuzz, they go back andforth.
They're five years apart.
They were five and 10 when theystarted and Harper would listen
to everything Bailey said.
