You Rock - I mean it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Reader, Happy Turkey Day, fellow Americans! And happy, Thursday if you live elsewhere in the world. I wanted to thank you so much for sticking around here with me - whether you signed up for my list back in 2017 and have kept up with every email I've shared, or if you just signed up last week and haven't gotten to know me yet - I do appreciate you.

Crispy tacos, George Strait and a lesson in building your local brand reputation! + Tips, tools & resources!

Savvy Hosts Hub Well, hey there! Boy, do I have a FUNNY story to tell you! It's also a great lesson on branding and the power of community. If you've ever been on the gut-wrenching, want-to-punch-a-hole-in-the-wall end of an untrue review and need some old-fashioned revenge, you'll love it! As you may know, I live near Austin, Texas - where everybody has a favorite local Tex-Mex restaurant. The kind of place with gooey cheese enchiladas, homemade tortillas, crispy tacos, and freshly made...
