For me, it's about diving in deep and finding a solution. Honestly, that to me, is the biggest one, I just enjoy that.” - Chris Greene “What people don't realize is a piece of content doesn't have to be a blog that doesn't have to be a video. What I tell people is that an image can say more than 1,000 words, a lot of times.” - Chris Greene “Our whole goal is to be an extension of your team. Our whole goal is at the end of the day to make your agency look like a rock star, like a commercial agent of the day to Hey, you completely saved me on this deal and made me look good to the client.
