AUDIO TITLE:  Episode #22 – Joanne Sprague – Friend Factor
Jenn T Grace:
You are listening to the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast, episode number 22.
Intro:
Welcome to the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast where you'll learn how to do business with and market to the LGBT community in an authentic and transparent way. We're talking about the $790 billion lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender community. We'll help you grow your business, gain market share and impact your bottom line. And now your host - she's an entrepreneur, a marketing maven and an advocate for the LGBT business community. Jenn, with two N's, T. Grace.
Jenn T Grace:
Well hello and welcome to episode number 22 of the Gay Business and Marketing Made Easy Podcast. I am your host, Jenn Grace, and as always I am thrilled that you are taking some time out of your day to catch up with me and listen to what's going on in the world of gay business, LGBT business, and marketing and all that great stuff. So thank you for joining today.

I have a great interview lined up for you in just a few minutes, you will hear from Joanne Sprague with Friend Factor. And if you have not heard of Friend Factor before, by the end of this episode you are going to know all sorts of great things about it. So before I get into the interview I want to just talk with you about a couple of things.

So I have been flip-flopping quite a bit about the format of the show. I have been doing it for quite awhile where it's gone from educational episode to an interview-based episode, and I've asked for your feedback and you've graciously provided your feedback, and yet again I have totally thrown off the way the show is formatted. So I apologize for those who may be tuning in looking for something that's straight up educational, but I do have an interview again for you today. And what keeps happening is that I keep meeting great people and their stories are so inspiring, and they're doing such great work in terms of LGBT business, LGBT marketing, in all regards. So I feel like it's a disservice to you to not bring these awesome people on the show. So again, like I said today I've thrown it off a bit but as always you're going to learn a ton of information; Joanne brings a lot to the table today with a business background who has some really great, insightful comments. So I am happy to have her.

And you will note that next episode, which will be episode number 23 on November 28th; that will be an educational podcast. And I say that right now and hopefully there isn't some person who just crosses my path who's also brilliant and gets placed in there. But as of right now I really want to just kind of start wrapping up 2013 with you in the November 28th episode. So stay tuned for that.
