  • Thank you Eric and GovCon!

    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!
