Good morning Bakersfield!! How are you guys doing?! Happy Saturday 😊! I’m Jo, I was born and raised in Normandy, France 🇫🇷, but at this point I have been living half of my life in the USA 🇺🇸, in Florida and California ☀️! I moved to Bakersfield 3 years ago when my husband and I (and our blended family) bought our dream house 🏠! I am a teacher IRL and on Skool! I can’t wait to meet you guys at the Bus 🚌 event! 😀

Figured I should introduce myself while this place is still small enough that we can all claim we were here early. First, I need half a dozen likes real fast so I can put down this shovel like an overworked CalTrans worker. No offense to my CalTrans friends. Second, I'm Greg DeWitt, founder of GoGo Marketing and 80's tribute band, Will Gail Dance?. I've spent more than 30 years working in marketing, websites, technology, branding, and business strategy. These days, a big part of what I do is help business owners figure out what they should actually be building online, how the pieces fit together, and how to avoid wasting money chasing the latest shiny object. Every Tuesday at 1 PM, I host a free live marketing workshop called The Strategist's Workshop. We talk websites, SEO, AI, advertising, social media, business strategy, and whatever is changing in marketing that week. It's practical, conversational, and you're welcome to bring questions about your own business. Here's my community: The Foundation Factor Since this is Bakersfield IRL, I'd love to meet more local business owners, entrepreneurs, and creative people here too. If you'd like to join me for a Tuesday workshop, say hello below and I'll send you the details. Looking forward to seeing what this community becomes.

We are patiently waiting for the bus to be completed and to head here to Bakersfield so that we can participate in the ribbon-cutting and have a fun all day long in real life meet up with all the Bako schoolers!! What is most exciting for you in this?
