After a not so successful camping trip, Travis and the family may have decided to give up on camping all together. Maybe it was the flat tire on the camper only minutes after leaving home. Maybe it was the rain. Or maybe it was the lack of restaurants that were open on Sunday. Somehow the fun factor decreased. BUT, the hotdogs were good. Chord Buddy is still working on their updated marketing plan and looking forward to the upcoming holiday blitz.

This week we hear about Bradi and her boyfriend Cameron who both had medical issues. Bradi's was not quite as serious as Cameron's, who's still in the hospital as of this recording.

This week Travis and Bradi talk about Chord Buddy's new micro site which is very complicated and has to do with the Chord Buddy website. And counterfeiting of Chord Buddy is a really big deal, especially on websites like Facebook and Amazon. How do you know what to look for? How can you make sure you're getting the real Chord Buddy?

Travis opens the show with a series of very corny jokes while Bradi rolls her eyes. They then talk about Chord Buddy products which are listed on the gifts and accessories tab on the website and how they promote those products. Bradi appeared on Facebook Live to show off some of the new items which are now on the site. And Happy birthday to Elie. Bradi's sister, who celebrates her 13th birthday this Saturday.

Travis' daughter, Bradi, joins us for another episode and Travis announces that she will be on future episodes as well. Bradi is helping the company with it's website by adding guitar gifts and accessories. A shipment arrived yesterday with over 700 youth guitars. Travis talked about how he opens every box, tunes, inspects and plays every guitar he sells for quality assurance. Why? Because that's how he would want to be treated.

Travis' daughter Bradi makes her first appearance on the Chord Buddy Podcast to talk about her role with the company which includes adding gifts and accessories to the website and creating the description page and a video of how the item functions.
