000 – What is Tri Town Advice Givers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | Stitcher | RSS

As a business owner myself, I had an interest in meeting other smart business owners and fascinating entrepreneurs. When I started to reach out to these people and started talking to them, I realized others needed to hear their stories too. These are experts in their respective fields, smart and intelligent, not to mention, many had discovered unique ways to impact the lives of their customers, clients, and patients. So “Why not share these stories? Why not interview these people? Create a Podcast? Why not create a site where they could be posted and listened to?” With that, the concept for Tri Town Advice Givers® was born…

1 —WE BELIEVE IF YOU CAN’T TRUST THE PERSON,
THEN YOU CAN’T TRUST Their WORK.

2 — WE BELIEVE RELATIONSHIPS, ACTUALLY GETTING TO KNOW SOMEONE,
IS MORE POWERFUL THAN A GOOGLE OR YELP REVIEW.

3—WE BELIEVE THE CONSUMER IS TOO SMART TO BE FOOLED.
AND EVEN THOUGH SOME AREN’T, THEY DO NOT 
DESERVE TO BE MISLED.

4—WE BELIEVE TRUST CAN’T BE BOUGHT. IT MUST BE EARNED.

On Tri Town Advice Givers®, those featured, are the experts that we believe will have the greatest impact. And be of the greatest service, to Tri Town residents. And, we are committed to helping these folks impact more lives, through spreading their stories…
