Thank you so much for this podcast. It is so inspiring and full of so much information, for aspiring government contractors. I stumbled across this show about two weeks ago and have been on a binge ever since. I have been registered with Sam.gov since 2020, and even involved with my local PTAC, but because of all the confusing, overwhelming information, I left the idea of winning contracts alone for a while now. I am a full time entrepreneur, single mom to a college student, and I am also a college student myself. Listening to this podcast (while working, cooking, getting ready for the day) has inspired me to add government contracting back on my to-do list. I find myself learning so much and becoming very familiar with the terminology used in the industry. I love listening to the guests, hearing their stories, and even the questions that the listeners pose. Eric does a wonderful job as a host too. He keeps it real, entertaining, and adds a lot of value to the industry as a whole. This free resource is a blessing. I look forward to growing and blossoming with you all.

I learn a lot form Eric. I was even able to set up a meeting with Molly Mayhew here in Oklahoma City due to the interview he did with her. Luckily Molly gave the name of her company and I was able to find a phone number for her. I’ll continue to listen to Eric daily and hope to grow my Gov Con business through Eric and his guest’s guidance, tips and tricks of the trade. Thank you Eric and Gov Con!

All nuggets here!

Listening to you and your guests helps us get more acquainted with the industry and how to avoid the scams. I didn’t know what PTAC was, now we’re using them here in Houston.

Eric and his resources are amazing !

This podcast has helped me build the confidence and support that I need to dive into the government space. Thank you Eric and company for making this podcast and navigating and encouraging people like myself! Mahalo nui loa! 100% fire!

Eric is a dynamic host with a ton of first hand experience who brings an awesome mix of guests and topics. Some of the biggest experts in govcon share their secrets, but Eric also finds folks that otherwise listeners would never meet, like Ryan Atencio, who is right in the thick of contracting with the 75th Ranger Battalion at Fort Bragg. I loved the July 28 episode where Ryan gets really specific and practical about to make it easy for government buyers to choose you. Love this show!

I started my company back in 2012 but never truly got it off the ground until 2019. I’ve still not bid on a contract but I feel I’m ready. Eric through these podcast and YouTube videos has single handedly educated me on government contracts, getting my SDVOSB, helping me to understand not to pursue getting an 8a certification until my company is ready to completely benefit from the program...and much more. If you are a new business wanting to get into government contracting opportunities and don’t know acronyms like SAM, SBA, 8a, DSBS, VBOC, OSDBU, FBO/Beta SAM and so many more then listen to these podcasts. Don’t feel bad because I didn’t know either but listening forced me to research and get familiar. I’ve even reached out to a former guest and she was very helpful and willing to assist. I could go on and on but TRUST ME! Just listen😁

I keep going back and listening to the older Podcast, picking up different business nuggets and just realizing how valuable the conversations are! I enjoy the Podcast, just not Eric!

I have listened to many many podcast and audiobooks and I must say, hands down this is one of my favorite! It’s my go to while working out in the gym at 5 a.m. Eric is in the process of changing my life and he doesn’t even know it. I’m so impressed with ALL of the guest on the show because they are relatable and so honest about the good and the bad of GovCon and business in general (thank you Maria). I am currently working my way through Eric’s paid Govcon Giants course and I actually get excited about listening to each video in the course. Thank you Eric and guest. Lewis Stargill

I have been listening to this podcast for a while and genuinely feel that Eric is setting his listeners up for success by having diverse guests from different fields and asking the right questions just due to experience. It is a wealth of knowledge gained. I feel extremely blessed to have come across this podcast and encourage everyone whose ambition it is to be a federal contractor to pay close attention.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge and experience of so many in the industry. You make an often obscure and complex topic entertaining while still keeping it educational. For the trivia: “Relationships are the currency for any market that you’re in.” - Nichelle Early

As a former financial management officer, I can say with confidence that Eric and his team are the truth! Obviously being an insider I immediately checked all of the sites, references, and personnel he cited. I’m glad I did because that gave me (and others that I now direct to he GovCon giants course) confidence to move forward with this team. He exposes government contracting successes and failures but personally and professionally. He literally lays out the groundwork from start to finish on getting into the arena. All of his guests are intelligent of the inner workings of the federal contracting arena. The best part of all is that he GIVES this valuable information away for FREE. If you’re looking to get started in the federal contracting arena and don’t know if you are in the right place, your search is over. Stay tuned. Take notes. And challenge what your hearing. You’ll be glad you did.

If you want the best episode look at 43 Luis De La Cruz JRE quality! been watching govcon for some time on youtube Mr. Coffee is a great resource for the government sector no matter what part you specialize in!

Eric is the real deal. I have been so blessed by his willingness to share everything he knows. After I binge watched all of his YouTube videos I took his free course and learned a ton. Then joined his GovCon Giants group.

I recently found your podcast and it has been so helpful! Believe it or not, I am in the DC area and the world of Government Contracting is still mysterious and overwhelming. Your podcast has given me encouragement to push through the noise and grow my business with government contracts. Thank you for being such a great resource of information and motivation.

This podcast is not only great for DoD outsiders, but also veterans and retired military. As a retired USAF acquisitions officer, i believe this podcast is a fantastic reminder that starting a business utilizing the skills we already have can be a very rewarding experience!

Thank you for allowing these guests to have a space that they can share their journeys with us. Hearing their beginnings, struggles, achievements, and successes is truly inspiring. Also, thank you for spreading your words and knowledge in regards to government contracting. Totally a life changer!

Thank you Eric for providing so much educational content in a space that is underserved, and the interviewees are very well chosen and informative

I’ve been following Eric’s YouTube channel for awhile now and just discovered these podcast. The value these interviews bring is unheard of! There’s nothing like this around. Eric thank you for being great!

Hi Eric!! I just listened to the interview you had with Linda. She was right on point when talking about getting money for your business and I as a small woman owned business doing government contracts can definitely relate. Tons of good information she shared. I will be connecting with her on Linked In to keep up with things she’s a part of. Thanks Eric for starting this podcast and keep the good stuff coming. Yours Truly Tracey Byrd

Excellent interview with Narjis Ali. For a minority woman owned small business owner just starting out and feeling her way through the world of government contracting, Ali gave me hope that there’s a place in this for me. Looking forward to hearing from others in the same position. Thank you.
