Former biz reporter, now starting a service business of my own from Asheville, NC and Sarasota, FL

[Matt Evans]

Hi BP gang, just stopping in to introduce myself. My name is Matt Evans, and I'm a new entrepreneur currently spending half the year in North Carolina and half in Florida (I'm only 43, so I don't yet have quite enough grey hair to pass as a typical snowbird, though it's coming). 

I was a journalist for about 20 years in both radio and newspapers, but now I'm trying to get a new business off the ground myself, even though I covered entrepreneurship for a long time and am all too familiar with the long odds of success! The business I started provides narrated virtual tours for agents, and the model I'm using will, I hope, make it easy and affordable for agents to try out something a little different while also allowing me to work from anywhere, which is a big part of the goal for my wife and me.

I came across the site searching for some information and advice, and it looks like there's a lot to be had here so I'm excited to make the acquaintance of the community. Thanks!
