Welcome aboard for our maiden voyage on the "Open the Gate" podcast! I'm your host, Blake, accompanied by my buddy Dan. Even as we juggle our day jobs (including my firefighting career and Dan's home services venture), we're here to share our stories and hopes, all while learning from the best in our local industry. Get ready to embark on a journey of constants - constant learning, constant growth, and a constant push forward, even when we're not feeling 100% ready!
As we traverse through Northern Californian life, you'll hear tales of Dan’s journey from the sandy shores of Half Moon Bay to the snow-capped peaks of Denver, and then back to Placer County. We'll also dive into some crazy family stories including a chaotic aircraft adventure with a baby, a toddler and a furry friend in tow! You'll meet some incredible Sacramento real estate pros, like renown "value add" (no pun intended) appraiser Ryan Lundquist and Publisher of Sacramento Real Producers, Katie MacDiarmid and host of other local real estate influencers. So, buckle up and let's get this show on the road!
