Episode #11 Recording from the Duck Blind

In Episode #11 of Keeping It Real…Estate!, we recorded this episode from an undisclosed location in Arkansas County — aka my duck blind. Recorded during duck season in Stuttgart, Arkansas, the Duck Capital of the World, this episode blends real estate, life, business, and real conversations straight from the blind. No office, no suits, just real talk in a very Arkansas setting. In a business where disclosure is everything, some things are better left undisclosed — especially during duck season.
