The final segment I am excited to share about my friend Jennifer Justice and her co-host Eric launched a podcast on October 1st, 2020 called Get Real KC. It is an interview-style podcast that interviews all sorts of experts. It is focused on consumer-facing Real Estate. Both of them did an excellent job interviewing Bobbi Howe Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors president. You can search for the podcast on Apple Podcast or Spotify "Get Real KC"
