Holy that was fun! Been trying to get Eric Young Moon on “the show” for a couple of months / since getting connected via The Great Mr. AirBnB - Braydon Ross. 🎯.

Eric is 1st generation Canadian hailing from Korea.

I think his parents landed in YYC but landed jobs in Golden, BC at the base of “that hill” - Fast Gas.

The family eventually got back to Calgary where Eric did post secondary schooling. Today his primary work is fixing knees (physio).

His interests ... business, AirBnB arbitrage, real estate. 💯
