    No, but I'm offering free audits and reports to Canadian tourism and travel operators because of anybody, they need help right now (I got this idea from @BizyDad). I plan to dive into those links shortly. Been house cleaning this weekend and getting the yard weeded, so I've been mostly away...

    Thanks for this! I really appreciate the feedback and reflection. In terms of a cold outreach, how do you do this? I have nearly 4k followers on Twitter, over 1k on insta, and a huge FB following, but I'm never quite sure how to pursue for my business purposes. Let's say I target artists (my...
