SS #022: Marla Chapa

Marla Chapa is a local Skagit realtor that has more irons in the fire than I do (I know, that’s hard to believe). I always feel drawn to people who hustle, and Marla’s no exception. She’s has three kids, works hard at her realty business (who also supports Homes for Heroes), promotes her network called Skagit Social and is in the midst of planning a festival called Skagit Bigfoot Fest. The Festival has some amazing music coming to it's stages and I'll hopefully be recording with a few of them over the summer. I'll be at the Festival too with some mics to record local stories. I can't wait and am so thankful to Marla for giving me this opportunity. She's a busy woman but came over for a couple of hours to chat with me and we had a great time. If you need to sell or buy a home, contact Marla and tell her about her awesome episode!See the links below for some of the things we chatted about:https://www.instagram.com/skagitsocial/https://skagit.social/https://www.facebook.com/SkagitSocialhttps://marlaandcompany.org/Tessa McIlraith's Mental Health Program for young athletes: Beyond the GrindMicheal Dayvid!
