American artist Aimee Erickson, is an internationally renowned oil painter, teacher, and author. Aimee has exhibited and painted all over the world, and has won numerous awards. Aimee was born in 1967 at the American Hospital in Paris's 16th arrondissement. She is the second of five children born to Ed, an astrophysicist and Beth Erickson, a high school English teacher, both from Seattle, Washington. When she was three years old her family returned to the US via a brief spell in England, settling in Sunnyvale, CA. As a child, Aimee “had lots of bonus extracurricular education and activities - cello, baking, sewing, soccer, lots of reading, and my mom taught us all to speak French, plus lessons or gear for anything I wanted to learn, like oil painting from the age of six, unicycling, gymnastics, and we were all required to play the piano”. Aimee gained her BFA from Brigham Young University in Utah in Visual Communication Design with an Illustration emphasis. But after college she struggled with depression and moved back to Oregon taking jobs in stage scenery. Growing up as a Mormon proved to be a challenge for Aimee and even though she spent 18 months in France as a missionary, she was never comfortable with the religion. In 2003, after much heartache she left the Mormon faith which she says was a turning point to liberating her both personally and professionally. Aimee has spent her life as an artist; her portfolio extends from landscapes to still life to portraits. She lives in Portland, OR.Aimee's website: https://www.aimeeerickson.com/Instagram @1aimAimee's Playlist:Jason Isbell, "How to Forget"Chris Stapleton, "Traveller"Wilco, "California Stars"The Finn Brothers "Won't Give In" Favorite female artists:Sophie Franz.Kathleen B.

Rebekah Greenhill is the director of sales and marketing at Greenhill Winery & Vineyards in Middleburg, Virginia. She and her husband, David Greenhill, also own and operate Middleburg Life magazine and Greenhill Stables. They are based in Middleburg during the summer and Wellington, Florida in the winter for the equestrian and polo season. In this episode of Destination on the Left, Rebekah Greenhill, the director of sales and marketing at Greenhill Winery & Vineyards, shares Greenhill’s story. She explains what brought national and international recognition to this Virginia farm winery. And she talks about some of the strategic partnerships that helped them expand into new markets. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Greenhill Winery & Vineyards shares the Virginia farm life with their guests The different types of strategic partnerships Greenhill formed to grow their business How Greenhill built an entirely unique experience for its visitors What Greenhill is doing to stand out from the crowd The types of visitors that Greenhill is targeting and how they target them How Rebekah has used creativity to solve unique marketing challenges in the wine industry How Greenhill is working with the local community to build its brand Greenhill Winery & Vineyards Last year we had the pleasure of doing an episode with Beth Erickson, the president and CEO of the Loudon Convention & Visitors Association. Loudon County has become the premier region of East Coast wine and Beth provided us with a glimpse into the development of Virginia’s wine industry. So, to learn even more about the growth of Virginia’s wine scene, we invited Rebekah Greenhill, the director of sales and marketing at Greenhill Winery & Vineyards, to join us next. In the latest episode of the Destination on the Left podcast, Rebekah explains how Greenhill designed a unique visitor experience and how they formed strategic partnerships to grow their business. 100% Virginian Wine The Virginia climate poses major challenges for winemakers in the area because the weather is erratic and the soil is not always perfect. So, one of the ways that Greenhill Winery & Vineyards stands out from the crowd is by embracing those challenges and showcasing the unique flavor profiles that they create. Greenhill uses 100% Virginia grapes while other local wineries outsource them, so it makes Greenhill more consistent, but it also captures the essence of Virginia’s unique soil and climate. The 100% Virginian wines have received national and international recognition with characteristics that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. Build a Unique Visitor Experience Another way that Greenhill Winery & Vineyards has cut through the noise and built their brand is by showcasing their identity as a privately-owned farm winery. Greenhill has truly embraced the farm life and it has been woven into the visitor experience as a whole. Guests get to witness the whole operation, not just the tasting room, and they have cows, honey bees, horses, and much more. Greenhill is inviting its visitors to join this lifestyle and be apart of a unique experience that very few wineries can offer. To learn more about the growth of the Virginia wine industry and what the future holds for Greenhill, listen to the latest episode of Destination on the Left.

In this episode, we're bringing you the some highlights from Loudoun County, Virginia Supervisor Caleb Kershner and Supervisor Tony Buffington's Rural Teleconferece held on Tuesday night. There was a lot of really good information from the Supervisors and other guests, including myself, Beth Erickson of Visit Loudoun, Eric Byrd from the Loudoun SBDC, BCT, Alice Frazier, CEO of BCT, The Community Bank, Pete Snyder of Disruptor Capital and the man behind the 30 day fund, and Ryan Lambert with the Small Business Administration.   Rural businesses play an important role in Loudoun County, and like all businesses, the businesses in Western Loudoun have been impacted by COVID-19. This pod talks about the Loudoun Business Interruption Fund, working with the EIDL and PPP programs on the federal level, and other resources that have been established. 

Today on the pod, we'll be talking about Take Loudoun Home, an initiative to support businesses with Beth Erickson, President and CEO of Visit Loudoun and Tony Howard, President and CEO of the Loudoun Chamber. Take Loudoun Home is a call to action—a rallying cry for our community and visitors to support local businesses. Buying local products and utilizing local services is always a priority, but now it is even more important. With the unprecedented business interruption caused by the coronavirus, these businesses need you more than ever in order to recover.  Then we will talk with Loudoun Economic Development's Chris Blosser about the Loudoun Made, Loudoun Grown Marketplace. Loudoun County’s farm-to-consumer experience has gone digital with the launch of an e-commerce platform that offers a one-stop-shop for consumers to support local farms. It is being provided free to participants of the Loudoun Made, Loudoun Grown program. Get more details at TakeLoudounHome.com.

Beth Erickson has served as the President and CEO of Visit Loudoun since 2014. Visit Loudoun is in Loudoun County, Virginia and in 2016 alone, they generated almost $1.69 billion in travel spending and supported more than 17,000 jobs in the travel industry and adjacent businesses. Prior to her current position with Visit Loudoun, Beth served as the Vice President of the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, a non-profit organization that works to raise awareness and support for the 180-mile stretch of land lying between Gettysburg, PA and Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia plantation home, Monticello. In 2008, the partnership was recognized by Congress as a National Heritage Area. Beth chairs the government affairs committee for the Virginia Restaurant Lodging Tourism and Hospitality Association. She also serves with numerous organizations including the Loudoun County Comprehensive Plan Stakeholder Committee, Loudoun County Economic Development Commission, Loudoun County Economic Development Authority, and many more committees and boards of directors. She has received numerous awards and honors for her work. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Beth about the wildly successful work her organization has been doing to turn Loudoun County, Virginia into a popular and respected travel destination and well-connected cultural center. Listen to our conversation and discover how education, collaboration, and storytelling have served as powerful tools for building up the local travel and tourism industry and have had wide-reaching effects for the entire region. What You Will Learn: How Beth’s background in manufacturing, marketing, and advertising first exposed her to the world of destination marketing How Loudoun County’s existing reputation as the wine country of the nation’s capital was a rich foundation to build upon How Visit Loudoun works with the Virginia state tourism office to coordinate and bolster their efforts Why Beth’s biggest challenge has been making tourism more visible, and how she has worked with elected officials to “tell Loudoun County’s story” What projects she’s currently working on, including the upcoming opening of a world-class athletics center and training facility Why collaboration and cooperation between “competing” parts of the tourism industry have been impactful on her own work Why Does Destination Marketing Matter? Aside from the tremendous economic impact the travel and tourism industry has on an area, destination marketing is a wonderful way to tell the story of a location. Through coordinated education efforts and cooperation with local and state organizations and elected officials, the ripple effect from marketing efforts can boost an entire region. In Loudoun County’s case, the efforts Beth and her organization are making have been major contributing factors in opening up new avenues for growth. It has helped expand local transit and athletic opportunities, and certainly been an influence on Amazon’s decision to locate their HQ2 a mere 50 miles from Loudoun. Cooperation Equals Opportunity As Beth illustrates beautifully in our conversation, cooperation with others has been a powerful tool to help tell Loudoun County’s story. By working with the state tourism office, elected officials and other organizations, Beth’s coordinated efforts have paid dividends for the local travel and tourism industry helping to expand the local economy with new and exciting opportunities for both visitors and residents. Our industry is a remarkable engine for regional growth and cultural development. There are countless opportunities for thinking outside the box while growing your reputation as a worthwhile travel destination. That philosophy of innovation and teamwork is precisely why it was such a pleasure to chat with Beth and hear her insights. Resources: Website: www.visitloudoun.org Episode Transcript
