A little accidental team uniform going on today. 😄 Apparently the memo went out… just not to everyone.

From left to right:

* Justin Probanic, Commercial Real Estate
https://orlcommercial.com/contact-us?id=135319
* Jacob Feliciano, Roofing Contractor Built By Burgiano LLC
* Merick LaVallee, Licensed Arborist & Tree Removal Cedar Stone Tree Works LLC.
* Max Bengston, Professional Painter Bengston Painting Services

One of the best parts of networking is building relationships with people who have different businesses but somehow still end up dressed like they’re on the same team. Maybe that’s what happens when you spend enough mornings together. 🤷🏻‍♀️
