Jim getting us started:

After interviewing Igor over a year ago in the country of Georgia, I got the opportunity to welcome him to his new home in the state of Georgia and meet him in person. How cool is the world?

One cool aspect (and part of Jim’s goal) is that many of those new friends live close to me. Like Jim said, something special happens when you meet up in person.

Yep, your selfie was better than mine :)

Yea, good point. I chose a bad example.

This is better:

Job.where(status: 1)
.merge(
Job.where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(region: 'N-FL'))
)

Job.where(status: 1).where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(state: 'AL')) - NOPE - you'll get jobs in AL for all statuses.

ANSWER:

Job.where(status: 1).merge(
Job.where(state: 'GA').or(Job.where(state: 'AL'))
)

Actually we had snow in the south so it’s totally acceptable 😆

Maybe people thought you were broadcasting from Aspen and had just come in from snowboarding

Always down to chat about buying businesses.

I loved hearing your stories Paul. I could’ve listened several more hours. Thanks for sharing.
