Tonight's first guests, Michael and Kaylen Aguilar, have had all of their Sasquatch sightings in West Central Florida. Of course, down there, they're called Skunk Apes. You see, Michael and his son, Kaylen, are field researchers for the Mid Florida Bigfoot Research Team, and Kaylen is probably the youngest Sasquatch researcher you've ever heard of. Sure, he's only 11 years old, but he takes doing field research seriously. That's due in part to the fact that like his dad, he's had his own sighting. We hope you'll tune in to tonight's show, so you can listen to Michael and Kaylen share their Skunk Ape experiences with you. They've had their fair share of them.If you've had a Sasquatch-related experience in Florida that you'd like to report to the Mid-Florida Bigfoot Research Team, please go to https://www.midfloridabigfoot.com/ and let them know.To visit the Mid-Florida Bigfoot Research Team YouTube Channel, please go to...https://youtube.com/@midfloridabigfoot?si=_gBDoVptTpo0uwuSTonight's second guest has had two Sasquatch sightings. The first one happened in 2002 and the second one took place in 2020. When he had his first sighting, just south of Fort Nelson, British Columbia, he didn't realize what it was that he was looking at. He thought it must have been a bear, until it stood up and leapt toward his truck. After it did that, he knew it wasn't a bear but wasn't sure what it actually was. In 2020, when he had his second sighting, he was driving north, toward Meziadin Junction, BC, when he saw another one cross the road. That time, he knew what he had seen.If you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest, on the show, please go to https://MyBigfootSighting.com and let us know.

  In this episode of The Real Estate Sessions, Bill Risser sits down with an experienced broker and real estate owner, https://www.linkedin.com/in/coleslate/ (Cole Slate). Cole is the owner of https://slate.realestate/ (Slate Real Estate) in St. John's Country, Jacksonville, Florida. He is a strong business development professional with a Bachelor's degree focused on family, youth, and community sciences from the University of Florida. To hear more, tune in, and find inspiration in Cole's wisdom and experience in becoming a well-established broker. --- Cole Slate, Broker/Owner, Slate Real Estate Thank you so much for tuning in and for telling a friend. I can't wait to talk with Cole Slate. Cole is the Broker Owner of https://slate.realestate/ (Slate Real Estate) up in the St John's County area, right outside Jacksonville, Florida. I met Cole at the Jacksonville bar camp, now renamed the https://rebarcamponecoast.com/ (One Coast REBarCamp). He has an amazing operation. Cole is a native Northeast Floridian. He loves where he lives and shows how he works with his community with charity and giving back in the world of real estate. He is an amazing guy. I am excited to get his story so let's get this thing started. --- https://slate.realestate/ (Cole), welcome to the show. Bill, thanks for having me.   It is well long overdue. You are doing some cool things up in the Jacksonville area. I want to talk about all those things, but first, I want to talk about Jacksonville in particular. You are a native of Northeast Florida. I have been to your office. How far away did you grow up from your office? How far away was the home where you grew up? From when I was born until eleven years old, I was literally in the ZIP code across the street from my office. From eleven years old until now, minus my years in Gainesville, University of Florida, I have lived in the same ZIP code. You are probably looking at a max fifteen-minute radius from everything. You are the epitome of “real estate is local.” It is a lot of our marketing stuff. If you hear a lot of people say hyper-local, our whole outlook is a more hyper community. You will hear me use that term a lot in regards to what we do and how we give back and things like that. Now I live in St. Petersburg. We will call that West Central Florida. Northeast Florida is different than what we have down here. South Florida is completely different from everybody. Tell me a little bit about Northeast Florida. Why is it cool? What is neat about it? Are you tired of being called South Georgia? Again, being a native, obviously, I am biased. I will be honest. It ruffles my feathers whenever I hear someone say something negative about the Jacksonville area, Northeast Florida. When speaking to people who do not live here or even those that are considering moving here or things like that, Northeast Florida, the Jacksonville area, is the best of all worlds. We have ocean, inner coastal, river, the suburbs, the historic area, downtown, and an NFL team. It is cheating a little bit because landmass-wise, we are the largest city in the country. We have a lot of areas to have all this great stuff, but in the 30-minute drive, you can get to all of those things. We have the airport. Where else do you have all of those different types of environments, atmospheres, and resources? Nowhere that I can think of, but again, biased native opinion. You also have the ability to get to the mountains if you want. That is a big stretch for the rest of Florida. Unless you are in the Panhandle, the Northeast, and the Northside, you are not getting to the mountains for hours from where I live. It is not too far for a drive. I do not leave town much but I see people going to the mountains for weekend trips. I see it all the time on my social media feed. You mentioned you are a Gator. We got to talk about it or Sean Carpenter will have my head. I do not know if there
