This week we meet and learn from Gerald Schiavoni of Five Point Strategies & Merrimack Valley Eats.  Hosts John Bachmann of Norwood Insurance Agency and Ben Tallberg of Amesbury Foreign Auto chat with Gerald as he tells us about going from contributing to local Facebook town pages, to starting one of his own with close friends, to seeing the audience grow to over 60,000 members!  We learn all about the struggles related to being a restaurateur but also some avenues to seek help when starting out in this space.
