Does humour have a place in real estate? If you know Eric Simon or Matt Lionetti, you know that it does!   Eric is the founder and CEO of The Broke Agent, a comedic media brand focused on the entertainment of real estate professionals. Matt Lionetti is a real estate agent and content creator from Toronto, Canada. Matt has built his business on social media by utilizing humour into his marketing. He believes showcasing his personality is the best way to connect with his potential clients.    The two bonded over their shared love for comedy and real estate. While they haven't yet met in person due to the pandemic, Eric and Matt co-host a podcast, the Over Ask Podcast.   This was a  RUN GPG first, having two guests together at the same time, on the same show.    So, why does humour work for them in terms of real estate marketing?   “It's actually more about finding your own lane,” said Matt.    “You don't have to be funny. You have to do whatever works for you. A lot of people try to be funny and it turns out to be cringy because I believe a humorous skit, if you're not 100% dedicated to that skit, it will come across as uncomfortable for you and the viewer,” said Matt.   For Eric, it's about going viral. Humorous content has the potential to go viral and so it's a way for real estate agents to grow their brand.    “There are so many agents now realizing that humour in marketing is the best way to go viral,” says Eric.    For Eric and Matt, their humorous content is also based on authentic experiences from real estate agents. This makes their content relatable.    However, it's not just about being funny. Branding is also about producing really good content with consistency.      These were some of the topics we touched on during our fun and funny podcast:     How Eric Simon and Matt Lionetti connected with each other.  Funny content provides a different form of marketing in the real estate industry, which is why it works.  True humour is the funniest type of humour - this is on Eric and Matt's propensity to make funny content based on real-life experiences of real estate agents. A name that sticks out and consistency in providing content worked well for the branding of The Broke Agent. A lot of agents are afraid to adapt to a new platform because it's a lot to take on. However, if you want to get your name out there, you really have to.  How Eric and Matt deal with haters in the comment section.  Examples of Eric and Matt's viral content. How important is live content? Advice for the everyday agent: Find your niche and do something you're good at.  How Eric and Matt ended up in real estate.  What do people usually expect when they meet Eric and Matt? What to know about the Over Ask Podcast.  Who are Eric and Matt's dream podcast guests? Navigating the world of podcasting.  About Eric and Matt's merchandise.  The three people Eric and Matt want to have dinner with.  Eric and Matt play a game of “Shut It Down” with RUN GPG.     Having two guests provided double the fun and double the learning. Join us again next week as we have another guest that will provide insight in the world of entrepreneurship, entertainment, creativity and personal development.    Check out more entertaining content from Eric and Matt, by visit their social media pages:     Contact Eric Simon / The Broke Agent   Website - https://thebrokeagent.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebrokeagent/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-simon-3a675b53   To buy merch: https://thebrokeagentstore.com/   Contact Matt Lionetti   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/matt.lionetti/ Email - matt.lionetti@theagencyre.com   Over Ask Podcast   Website - https://overaskpodcast.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnIX8Sa_qObx2GFZhZ0maOA?app=desktop Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/overaskpodcast/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/418823002883372     Subscribe To The RUN GPG Podcast Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of the RUN GPG Podcast!

Today's episode is a very real, raw, and authentic conversation with someone who's become a total inspiration to me, Eric Hansen. Despite living through unimaginable circumstances, he has figured out how to embody what I've been talking about for the past year… Inner Freedom.  Eric is a recovering drug addict who began using at the age of 12, raised by his mother who was also an addict. He has been homeless multiple times, and he's been in and out of jail and prison. While he was in prison, he discovered this podcast, and it transformed his outlook on life.  Currently out for four months, employed, and living in a halfway house, Eric is still navigating difficult health struggles and various painful consequences of his previous actions. However, his internal quality of life and his ability to experience the inner freedom that we all seek, are truly exceptional. He's building a following in the Miracle Morning Community Facebook group, where he has posted every single day, for 96 consecutive days.  I've been so inspired by him that I knew I needed to talk to him on the very same podcast that changed his life.  In this extraordinary conversation, Eric tells the story of how he fell from success to homelessness, how to recover from hitting rock-bottom, and how to truly take responsibility for–and choose how we experience–our lives. Key Takeaways How Eric discovered the Achieve Your Goals podcast while in prison, and the immediate impact it had on him. What the Miracle Morning has done for Eric that nothing else did. How Eric's career in sales thrived as he fell further and further into cocaine addiction and his family fell apart. How Eric stays accountable to himself, even in the toughest times. How Eric was able to further his education during his most recent stint in jail–and why episode #338 of this show, “Freedom from Your Emotional Pain,” impacted him like nothing else.

Content creation is one of the best ways to get more engagement from people and create connections with realtors and clients. The thing is, content creation in real estate does not always have to be so serious. It can get a little comical, too. Take it from today's guest, Eric Simon a.ka. The Broke Agent. As a newly licensed real estate agent in Los Angeles, Eric had no idea what to do. He cold-called, door-knocked, and sat dead open houses twice a week to no success. So, he did what he always did when he fails at something: he made fun of it. Eric escaped to social media as @TheBrokeAgent where he began posting the inner monologue of an anonymous, struggling real estate agent. The following grew quickly as the voice stood out amongst an oversaturated marketplace of luxury agents, sales gurus, and assholes.  After six years of memes, GIFs, skits, comics, blogs, and now a podcast, the Broke Agent brand has evolved into a media company with well over half a million followers across all major platforms. Today, Eric continues to sell real estate on the Westside of Los Angeles and run the daily operations of The Broke Agent. His focus is on growing the brand and continuing to be the go-to source for real estate entertainment, podcasting, marketing, and eventually news. In this episode, Eric talks about content creation in real estate and what platforms he uses to get more engagement from other realtors and clients. He also shares his thoughts on the hottest social media platforms today and why consistency is key in producing content. Join us and listen in!   [00:01 - 11:01] Opening Segment Welcoming Eric to the show How Eric got into real estate Gaining knowledge about real estate as an assistant Getting his license and becoming his own agent How he began creating content   [11:02 - 31:07] “The Broke Agent” Talks About Content Creation in Real Estate How Eric manages to produce content on different platforms Where he gets the photos he uses from He talks about his posts that didn't work The different types of content Eric produced Eric on making a business out of content creation The switch Eric had to make about his content Agent-to-agent content vs. agent-to-client content Why consistency is the key in successful real estate content creation   [31:08 - 52:00] Get More Engagement from Realtors and Clients Through These Platforms  Eric talks about his podcast, “Over Ask” His thoughts on Clubhouse, Twitter, and Pinterest Reaching more people on TikTok Why Eric would love some help in content production The importance of interacting with your audience Eric on answering DMs   [52:01 - 58:52] Closing Segment  How you can connect with Eric How long it took for Eric to build his Instagram feed Closing words Tweetable Quotes: “The good news is there are so many creatives now that are realizing that humor in real estate is a great avenue to go down, that they're producing so much.” - Eric Simon “Having an engaged audience is way more important than just the numbers. And it takes a long time. People get discouraged after posting a few times and not getting that immediate feedback.

Why do interior designers and home stagers need professional relationships with realtors? How can this relationship further your business and put dollars in your pocket? How do you build those relationships in the first place? Darla and Eric Reeves set out to answer these questions in this episode of Wingnut Social!

Connect with Eric Reeves RYS Interior Consulting Connect on LinkedIn Follow on Instagram Resources & People Mentioned Book: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom WS Episode #135 with Sandra Funk: Interior Design Consultation How real estate + interior design mesh Eric is one of the few that can stage a home, sell it, and remodel it. Because of his degree in interior design, he can help buyers visualize the potential of the space when he's showing it. He can help people see how to make a home of their own. He can also advise buyers of resale value and help them determine changes to make that stay within the budget of the neighborhood. When Eric started his business, it was geared toward home staging because there was nothing in his area. As a realtor, seeing how homes were presented, he knew his market needed the service. Why interior designers should network with realtors Eric points out that realtors are a great resource to home buyers and sellers. New home buyers might need an electrician, plumber, contractor, etc. Most of the homes in Eric's area are resales—not new construction—so remodeling is always a consideration. Most people who own a home at some point will need to sell or buy. The homeowner will likely ask you for interior design recommendations. That's why a symbiotic relationship between designers and realtors is imperative.  What benefit does the realtor get? When you're a great resource for your clients, it keeps you top of mind. When they go to buy or sell, you're the person that comes to mind. Eric's market is a lot of second homes and vacation homes. They tend to be empty or furnished with pieces that are outdated and old. They often need a designer's touch to help them move. How home stagers can sell their value to realtors Eric recommends that home stagers and interior designers need to build a good relationship with realtors—and know your numbers. You need to be familiar with the inventory on the market. You need to understand if the market is hot or barely moving. It's all about perceived value. 95% of people start their home searches online. So you need to communicate to your client the value of a well-staged home.  You also need a professional online presence (website and social media). You need a packet of information that's exceptional that you can provide outlining the services you offer. You also need to be able to communicate the value of your work (and how it can lead to more money for the homeowner and realtor). Eric believes there's a place for both normal and digital staging. If someone needs a quick turnaround at a low price point, digital staging may be the way to go. But Eric points out if he's showing a home with staged photos online but walks into an empty house, it's a letdown. People don't have the vision to see what could be. But if you can learn to do both, do it. You don't want to be the Blockbuster of the interior design industry.  Listen to the whole episode for some networking tips + tricks from Darla!

After the interview, Mark reflects on the opportunity that exists for writers as well as the unique way Eric is leveraging this new podcast to build up his brand within the specific community where he's hoping to reach more people.

“Alcoholics Anonymous didn’t just save my life, it taught me how to live a life worthy of having been spared and changed me from the inside out.” -Eric Sheets Today, Ben and I are chatting to Eric Sheets, who is sharing his story of recovery and how he has taken his experience to give back and help other addicts become sober again. Eric’s Background with Drugs and Alcohol Eric says he came to the 12 Step Program a “broken man” and admits that this is the first time he has been honest with himself. “I could see that fear has governed my life as long as I can remember.” He did have a stretch of sobriety between 2003 and 2010 when his wife fell ill with a rare lung disease and was terminally ill. “In that time I found God and my understanding of him” because, for the first time in his life, he understood his purpose. Although he realized that God put his wife into his life, he still didn’t believe that he was an addict and didn’t understand what this lifestyle entails. The Second Phase of Drinking for Eric After his wife passed away, Eric didn’t drink for several weeks until he was invited to a dinner party where a woman gave him a glass of wine after convincing Eric that he wasn’t an alcoholic. He remembers that moment like it was yesterday and picked up his addiction at the moment he left off. At the moment he realized he couldn’t move on anymore, he walked into a hospital and told the emergency staff he was going to commit suicide; and he was baker-acted and introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous. Living a Life of Purpose “Living a life of purpose makes me happy,” Eric comments. He found that when he has a purpose, he can live sober and help others live sober. “Living in communion with my creator is how I found my purpose and what greater purpose can there be?” Listen in and find out how Eric came to find his purpose, what happened when he stopped being of service, how fear and selfishness crept into his life, and how he rebuilt his relationship with his son.

In this episode, you’ll hear about: The pros and cons of selling an app on your own versus going through a broker What to watch out for during negotiations What to expect after selling your app Follow Us:David Barnard: https://twitter.com/drbarnardJacob Eiting: https://twitter.com/jeitingEric Owens: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericowens/Here’s the Outline of Our Interview with Eric:(1:00) Eric and David have worked together before!(1:25) How Eric became an app broker.(5:09) The top reasons app developers decide to sell their businesses; capital gains taxes; David’s experience selling his first app.(8:03) Why people buy app businesses.(10:11) Do app buyers typically purchase successful apps or fixer-uppers?(13:35) The benefits of selling a successful app “prematurely;” David’s Mirror app.(15:25) The challenges of selling iOS apps: iCloud, Passbook, Sign In with Apple, Catalyst; Gas Cubby.(19:13) How app business valuations are calculated; the App Store Small Business program.(23:34) Adding subscriptions to an app increases its value to buyers.(26:51) What kind of documentation you should have in place before selling your app.(28:34) How buyers approach purchasing an app from a solo developer.(30:27) Finding app buyers.(33:33) App business sales increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.(34:00) The pros and cons of selling your app on your own; Flippa.(39:17) Going through a broker helps you stay emotionally detached during the negotiation process.(40:35) Fiduciary duties; representing app buyers versus sellers.(42:38) What to watch out for during negotiations; low-ball offers; due diligence.(48:17) The app sale closing process; escrow.com; closing costs.(50:21) Brokerage fees; working with Eric.(51:00) What comes after an app sale? Non-compete agreements; handoffs.(57:00) Connect with Eric on LinkedIn or get in touch at appbusinessbrokers.com.Quotes:“Any business with any kind of subscription revenue is always going to sell for higher, no matter what it is. Buyers love that... The one move you can make in any business that will increase your valuation is to add some kind of subscription revenue.” - Eric“As I get later in my life, [I’ve realized] brokers are amazing. Think about it: as an app developer, you spend 99% of your time being an app developer, right? And then you have this 1% critical action, which is the sale… It’s really useful to have somebody on your side who’s done this before and can tell you what you’re doing that’s wrong and what you’re doing that’s right.” - Jacob“If you’re an inexperienced seller of something, get somebody to help you out.” - Jacob“I forget what I paid Eric; it was probably $20,000 or $30,000. But to me, I saw it as worth every penny because he helped bring the market that got the highest and best value of the app… Having access to that pool of buyers and having Eric’s experience helping me walk through it, I think it made up the [cost] of whatever I paid him in the valuation that I got in the sale.” - David“I’ve sold three apps, and it’s been huge for me. It’s helped pay off debt, it’s helped put a little money away, and helped me sleep better at night. There’s a lot of reasons to do it.” - David“There’s a lot of people who can’t make [apps]. I think as indie app people, we just kind of take for granted — because we hang out on Twitter with a bunch of other people who know how to make apps — that it’s not that unique. And it’s a tough business; it’s not always easy to make an app that’s going to make you a lot of money. But if you factor in… the fact that not everybody can make these things, that can be a really useful tool for you to unlock liquidity earlier than you would otherwise.” - Jacob“I think people should have the mindset… that you are building an asset that you can sell someday if you want to. You don’t ever have to, but build something that is sellable. If people can treat it more as an investment, that can see people through some of the dark times, the challenges of being an entrepreneur.” - EricLike this episode?Subscribe to Sub Club on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to get the latest news on mobile subscription apps.

Episode Summary:  Eric and Jenel Resh are the owners of Piranha Pool Products, formally known as the Smart! Company based in Temecula, CA. An industry leader among pool cleaning brands, Piranha’s products include leaf nets, poles, and brushes which are available through hundreds of wholesale distributors around the country.  Eric and Jenel look back on a long career in the pool industry. They got their start buying a bare-bones route in Southern California in the mid-1990s, at a time when pool service as a career or a business—particularly one that is scalable and whose foundation is its brand—was far from the point where it is today.  Similar to the pool businesses back then, the tools were far from where they are today as well. Eric described his tools from the past as “working with toys”. The lack of innovation from the 60s to the 90s left the door wide open for the Resh’s to take advantage and build products that would change the industry.  Listen in as Eric and Jenel discuss the moments that sparked the ideas for both the Smart! nets and Power Poles, what goes into the production of them, and how they have developed into their highly acclaimed Piranha nets, poles, and brushes.  Topics Discussed:  03:35 - How the Resh’s got into the pool industry  14:27 - How they built their pool service company  16:56 - Eric’s first idea to make skimming better  22:37 - How the industry became more “professionalized”  35:11 - Taking your pool tools seriously  38:40 - The first net prototype  40:47 - Production of the original Smart! net  44:15 - How Eric and Jenel got into Superior  46:17 - How it became known as the $45 net  49:35 - The Smart! Company acronym  52:52 - Operating in the 90s with limited resources  56:00 - A primer on patents and intellectual property rights  1:03:03 - Progression of the Piranha nets  1:15:06 - How the twist, scoop, and flat lip came about  1:28:36 - Eric’s Home Depot trip that gave him the pole idea  1:31:55 - Developing the Piranha Power Pole  1:41:05 - Piranha replacement parts   1:46:13 - The Piranha brush line  1:55:12 - Piranha II nets  2:01:11 - Tweaking Piranha’s products over time  2:03:20 - How the name “Piranha” was thought up  2:05:22 - How to contact Piranha Pool Products          Sponsors:  Pentair  Piranha Pool Products  Skimmer Discount  Skimmer Tagging Feature  NC Brands    Connect with Guest:  Episode Webpage  Website  Facebook  Instagram    Connect with Pool Chasers:  Website  Instagram  Facebook  Facebook Group  Twitter  YouTube  Patreon    Key Quotes from Episode:  When I think back, in the pool industry, things had not changed much from the 60s to maybe the late 90s. That was when a lot of real innovations really started happening. It was an open door for us then. ~Jenel  I think the pool industry has come a long way where you can make more of a career out of it. I think the actual business part of it has been refined quite a bit. I think it was kind of tongue-in-cheek in the past. It wasn’t as “professionalized” as a trade. ~Eric  I think one of the myths about entrepreneurs is that they tend to be cutthroats. I find entrepreneurs tend to be generous because they’ve discovered something and they like to see other people succeed, too. We received a lot of help from a lot of people. ~Eric  When you have a patent, first of all, you have to have a well-written patent; you have to cover a lot of bases in your patent. But the other thing is, you have to be willing to fight for your intellectual property rights. ~Jenel  The quality comes in the nuances that you wouldn’t normally stop and think about. We clean a lot of pools—we have thousands and thousands of pools worth of experience. There may be a little nuance on something that may not be big in its appearance but, man, did it make a difference in how the whole pole worked. ~Eric 

Returning to the podcast is Dr. Preeyam Patel (@ThePreesKnees) to mark one year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic! Tune in for the latest scientific facts that have been heavily checked, being explained in ways that make sense. We also praise the amazing speed by which the US President was able to secure vaccines and have the US administer over 100M at the date of airing, pledging even more. And, a first for this show, we discuss CHILDREN getting COVID and what the statistics and reasons behind them are for the spread and condition of public health. - We reflect on one year since the start of the pandemic, and one year since Dr. Patel had COVID herself. - Eric has received dose 1 of Pfizer! - US distributes 100 M vaccines, 25% of all vaccines that have gone out worldwide. Joseph R. Biden and this presidential administration's reliance on Science is to thank. - What's up with the recent CDC recommendation for DOUBLE MASKING? (Fit and filter) - Vaccine hesitancy, are we seeing as much as we expected? - (33:15) non-political discussion begins - What is COVAX? - How effective are other countries' vaccines, Sputnik, Sinovac, etc? - (38:15) How Eric got the vaccine - (47:40) A Re-rundown of Covid Vaccines available in US and how they work. - JNJ vaccine efficacy. Is it right to want a more efficacious vaccine??? - Check out this new graph about JNJ's efficacy over time - What's cool about the new Novovax vaccine? - See this NY Times interactive vaccine diagram! - The Novovax vaccine uses something called an adjuvant, and a nanoparticle? Dr. Patel explains - AstraZeneca controversy, what happened with testing, what's going on with blood clots? - Dr. Patel discusses the heavy reality of burnout among healthcare workers and makes a grim prediction - People who've had COVID may only need one dose of vaccine - If your arm doesn't hurt after your shot, did the vaccine work and do you still have immunity? - Is the second dosage more painful? Why might that be? - Should you get it vaccinated in the same arm both times? - Why do some people develop rashes after their vaccinations, and is it cause for concern? - Don't freak out if you get an antibody test post vaccine and it says you don't have COVID antibodies - (1:47:09) COVID-19 in Children discussion begins - How does a child's immune system work? - How does a child's immune system compare to adults? - Debunked: False info stated that children simply can't get COVID-19. We discuss why children can spread the virus as much if not more than adults, but why their susceptibility to the virus seems lower, and what severe COVID looks like in kids. - Returning to former show topics with current updates, we talk about COVID Long-haulers and how vaccines have been helping them with their symptoms. - View this impressive graph of the Spike Protein arrow - Reinfection statistics, what we know now above those with natural and vaccine immunities.

I will do the rest!   WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE Medicine:  Eric’s plan to get noticed by Marcy at the bookstore and sharing a microscope How Eric broke his arm during medical school Why returning to medicine after the loss of Andy looked different for each of them Marriage:  What Andy ate before marriage and why they likely got married so quickly How they supported each other through the grieving Supporting each others’ podcasts  Money: Why we need to “Thank God for the accountant” and how this helped on Eric’s journey of healing Why we need to all have an emergency fund Grief: Why accept the feelings during grieving How anger and guilt can become poisons Why forgiveness matters and how forgiving is so powerful    TAKE HOME POINTS FROM THE LARSONS Loss and grief are universal. We all experience some sort of loss and grief at some point in our lives. Whether we are going through the loss of a young child, an older child, a parent, or a spouse, it hurts. It is absolutely painful. It just feels wrong. There is no sense in comparing which experience or which loss is worse. We are all on our own journey and that is okay. We can still go through our own journey alongside the support and companionship of others. No need to compare. Just accept that it is hard. Be aware that this is normal.    If we cannot forgive others, we have often not forgiven ourselves.  Sometimes what is right for us is not right for our spouse. Our answers do not have to be everyone’s answers. This is normal. Once you accept this and learn to just be present and supportive in whatever way is needed, the pain may worsen.  Telling our children they are enough. WALK AWAY ASKING YOURSELF Do I sincerely ask for forgiveness when it truly matters? How can I forgive myself when I need compassion and grace? How do I process grief? What does my emergency fund look like?

About this episode My guest this week is Eric Girouard, the founder of BRUNT Workwear. BRUNT Workwear is slowly becoming the workwear brand for those who build the things we see and rely on every day. It is a D2C brand that seeks to serve one of the most underserved demographics out there: tradesmen. If you think about it, how many entrepreneurs begin their business with the target audience of a welder, crane operator, construction worker, or pipeline contractor? Not many startups are geared towards that market. Entrepreneurs are missing a huge opportunity here. Tradesmen are some of the most loyal customers out there. How have they been ignored for so long? In this episode, Eric Girouard is sharing his thoughts on that question with us. He grew up in that demographic but paid no attention to it when he helped build various other startups. This huge, better-than-average income demographic has been so neglected. Tune in to hear how Eric's entrepreneurial journey led him to start a company that serves this loyal segment of consumers. In this episode, you'll hear: How Eric was shaped by being raised in a blue-collar family with extremely hard-working parents. How he got into entrepreneurism. His journey from Babson College to BRUNT Workwear. Why he quit a sales job he loved to enter the startup world. The key learnings he got from working with serial entrepreneur Ben Fishman. The importance of learning from those who are ahead of you in business. Why Eric decided to hold off on founding his own startup. Why he used a business model where he built more than one brand. Why a marketplace business takes a unique skill set and is actually very challenging to build. The passion that led Eric to finally start BRUNT Workwear. All about the tradesmen market and why they're the backbone of the country. How Eric came up with the BRUNT Workwear slogan. The pushback he received during the launch of the startup and how he addressed and solved those problems. How he navigated inventory and decided to build the company very lean.

Located on the east side of the state, Union Gap is nestled in the agricultural belt of Washington which gets over 300 days of sun per year. It is only a half-hour from the mountains, with Mt. Rainier in plain view. Despite its small size, Union Gap offers an unparalleled charm that appeals to outdoor enthusiasts and wine/craft beer connoisseurs alike. Eric has been able to leverage all of these traits to put Union Gap on the map, and he is helping tons of other small-town destinations do the same. Finding Opportunity in 2021 2020 has obviously been a challenging year for everyone in every destination, but looking forward, Eric plans to continue what he started. Union, Gap was on the precipice of widespread recognition before the pandemic. They have tons of unique events, from the world’s largest sprint car show to the annual Pioneer Power show hosted every summer. Eric’s focus as the Marketing and Tourism Director has been to bring these events to the forefront and use them to define Union Gap. He has continued to do that virtually during the pandemic, and as things reopen, the physical events will re-emerge as well. 2021 has so much opportunity, and Union Gap will be positioning themselves as an essential stop in the year of the road trip, with tons of outdoor activities to keep you busy. There is opportunity for every small town destination out there, so join the conversation in Eric’s #SmallTownTourismChat on Twitter. #SmallTownTourismChat: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23smalltowntourismchat&src=typeahead_click Website: http://www.visituniongap.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-patrick-81b4ba20/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnionGapTourism/ Twitter: @UnionGapWA We value your thoughts and feedback and would love to hear from you.
