Due to the impact of the pandemic, there have been a lot of programs that we have seen come out  over the last couple of years.  One that you have heard us talk about before... the PPP, the Paycheck Protection Program, which was set up to help business owners keep their people employed throughout the pandemic.

Well, another program that was set up is called ERAP, the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, which is a Federal Grant intended to assist households who are unable to pay or are having difficulty paying rent and/or utilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today on the show, we have invited Carrie Saites, a tenant that applied for these funds and has had some trouble with the program to come in and talk about her situation. We have also invited Samantha Gaddis from Contemporary Management Concepts, who is NOT Carrie’s landlord, but is a local property management company that has lots of experience with this new Emergency Rental Assistance Program to shed some light on what Landlords have had to deal with as it pertains to the program. Listen in for an incredible episode and if you haven't done so already, please help us reach our goal of 1 THOUSAND subscribers on our YouTube Channel by the end of January!

I, Collin Austin, founder of New Scooters 4 Less and Repaint The Wall - Gainesville's Digital Media Un-Agency, have set out to bring you incredible and inspiring stories of entrepreneurs, businessmen and women, and other awe-inspiring leaders.

We're out to accomplish 3 major goals: 1.  Show off what makes Gainesville so awesome... Its stories and people!  I want people outside of Gainesville to hear this podcast and go "Whoa! I want to go/move/build a business/etc. there!"  2.  Keep some of our Top 6 University of Florida talent here by showing them that Gainesville is SO MUCH MORE than a place you go to college!  3.  Build as many connections within the community as possible!  I can't begin to tell you how many people tell me, "I heard of that business for the first time on your podcast and now I'm collaborating/doing business/friends with them!"

E180: World's Most Powerful Disinfectant | Jody Read of Simple Elements | WHOA GNV Podcast

This past November, there was a local election for the vacant Gainesville City Commission seat. The race was close between two candidates, Dr. Cynthia Chestnut and Matthew Howland. Because neither of the candidates received over 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff election on January 25th.  

Since there will be a runoff, I reached out to both candidates to come in for separate interviews and share why they felt they would be the right choice for the seat.  Both originally accepted my invitation, but unfortunately, Dr. Cynthia Chestnut had to cancel last minute. 

In today's episode, hear my interview with Matthew Howland, and get to know him a little better!

And PLEASE, be sure to get out and VOTE on January 25th!

E181: City Commissioner Candidate | Matthew Howland | WHOA GNV Podcast

Podcast Family, 

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that we will be taking a hard pause on future podcast recordings.

Nothing is more important to me than being in tune with God's will for my life and I've felt an urge to take some time to really reflect and think about the direction of this show and where God wants it all to go.  

Until now, I've really pushed back against "pausing" because I've met so many businesses and individuals that have made me go "WHOA!"  I LOVE this community and the greatest gift in all of this has been the relationships that have been built with so many of you. That has brought me the most joy in all of this.  

I will let you know our future plans as they are revealed. For now, I just want you to know how much I appreciate you, your support, and all that you do for our community.

Thank you so much for everything!

Best wishes always, 

Collin

Hitting "Pause" on WHOA GNV Podcast

Recently, the City of Gainesville executed a paid parking process for Downtown Gainesville. Immediately, patrons stopped showing up downtown, businesses felt an immediate impact, spoke up, and the city decided to place a pause on paid parking to further evaluate.

We decided to go down and interview some of the business owners downtown in order to dive deeper into their concerns.  What do you think Gainesville? Would paying for parking downtown reduce your trips downtown? What do you think the city should do?
