This had to be one of the best shows yet with Zach Lampley from Crew Control. We began with reminiscing about our server days and quickly jumped down a rabbit hole filled with pulp, chocolate and milk substitutes.  Don't worry though, just like Alice in Wonderland, larger than life costumed creations were also included. We did of course discuss Crew Control and how you can integrate their platform seamlessly with Property Intel to further save time and make more money for your business. Give a listen and let us know if you are a pulp or no pulp kinda person.
