Hey we are live with Trudi Weickum, Anthony Freeman and special guest Lexe Harkins. We are going to get some background on what has been happening with Lexe, and how she got into the business.

Lexe started with her dad, who has been in the industry for 12-15 years, and her brother who has been in the industry for over 11 years. She started with her dad working in the store that her dad and brother ran. She is now 5 years in, and has learned a lot of things and learned a lot of lessons.

She moved from Florida to New York, and loves being in New York. She gets to be home with her son, and is now freelancing at the moment. She would like to be a spokes person in the industry, and would love to see what her journey brings her. The one thing that this industry has is that it has a lot of love. She had made her mark in the industry, and she is very proud of what she has accomplished.

The Panhandle Event in November is moving forward, with the contract being signed with the venue and ideas are flowing. This will be the 5th event for Trudi.

What will change, is the time for stations, and there are 2 hours allowed for demonstration time for the vendors. There will be 3 spots for speakers, allowing everyone to be able to network. The extensive classes will be on Tuesday, and Wednesday will be a lighter day. There will be text updates available.

LEXI: What is the biggest take away from the events that she goes to. For Lexe, it was about networking, and she enjoyed meeting everyone. She likes to see the new products that are available.

ANTHONY: Since he has been to a lot of events, what does the Panhandle event feel like? It is good to see everyone, and it is a good time to come together. It all comes down to people that you network with and surround yourself with to help make your business successful.

The Panhandle event is about contractors helping contractors. You have to go and hustle every morning when you are in business for yourself. The speakers that come and speak do everything for free, and they want to better the industry. There are things that are out there that guys don't know about, so talking about those types of things at the Panhandle event is very important.

Tune in to more of those amazing conversations happening out there, and keep grinding! You've got this!!
