Arakel wanted to get away from the states and visit his homeland Yerevan, Armenia - the day before he landed a war broke out that was initiated from Azerbaijan as they attempt to attack and take over Artsakh, where many Armenians reside today. Arakel didn't take the next flight out, he instead stayed and began to do some serious humanitarian work.

I brought in a good friend for the 2nd time around (see episode 14 on how to blow up your social media), Raffi Garboushian to give us the lowdown on TikTok. President Trump last week said he was going to take it down, so Is it still active, if so for how long? With Raffi, things usually don't tend to stick to one topic - so our natural conversation somehow flew into Real Estate, how he got married right in between the pandemic, the stock market, and tiptoed our way into some politics.

If your social media and digital marketing need help, here's how you can get a hold of Raffi:

After 15 years of running their businesses together, her husband Eddie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer and passed away - prior to his passing Daisy had an emotional conversation with him on the future of their stores/businesses - Eddie wanted her to carry them on. Fast forward 5 years, she not only granted his wish, but she also added another store and has been hitting Pro Image franchise sales records since.
