This episode is a little chaotic since we had to re-record because Eric forgot his laptop. It will sound a little different today and unfortunately...with no intro and outro music.  We lean heavily on Eric to help answer a question about tips and best practices for social media paid ads!

She taught us all about how to sell in a physical setting when the world is becoming so online.
