Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin Cruz.
Hi Justin, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
When I first started in the Photo Booth industry, I was juggling multiple jobs while still being a father to my child. While traveling the country every week, speaking to students, and coming back home to work with inner-city kids in a performing arts program, I still felt like something was missing. I had poured so much energy into working for others that I had not been building something for myself. One day, I was able to come across another individual providing a Photo Booth service for my cousin’s prom, and that’s when it hit me, “I can do this”. Within one week, I sourced out all the products needed to just get started, and by the following week, I was ready to try out my first event. I remember my prices being so low that I could only afford myself but over time, I have been able to provide opportunities for others to work with me. I owe the inspiration to DJ Ynot, a well-known individual throughout the community providing sound and equipment across the state and surrounding areas. We actually started to collaborate and it has been amazing. I started with just one Photo Booth, but now I have multiple 360 booths, photo booths, mirror booths, selfie booths, and more. To get to where I am today, I have networked with more people than I can imagine, had countless hours of educating myself, experienced sleepless nights, sacrificed spending time with friends, family, and loved ones, and had days that I felt like giving up. I am glad to have pushed forward through all the challenges and I encourage anyone to never give up because you may be closer to what you’re looking for than you think.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Life has a way of altering your plans along the way, no matter how much preparation was involved. One of the toughest things to know is that everything falls back on you (myself). If the equipment malfunctions, I have to put on a technician hat and understand how to make repairs. Today, I am writing this but I have an event to do, and I caught a flat tire. One of the biggest challenges has been finding other individuals who have the same drive to work in the business. Whomever works for the business is a representation of the brand and selecting the right individuals can make or break your next line of business.
