In today’s busy world, what you need is information about Flower Mound that is vetted, easy to consume, and speaks directly to what you need. One of my favorite resources that checks all those boxes is checkoutdfw.com. The co-founder of the site, Jed Williams, joins me in this episode, to share how it all started.

A North Texas native, Jed has lived all over the country - from East Coast to West Coast. He knows how tough it is to relocate and then start to get connected in a new place. These experiences channeled Jed’s entrepreneurial thinking towards creating the go-to resource for all things DFW. 

Teaming up with co-founder David Arkin, Jed’s mantra for checkoutdfw.com has always been to provide the most helpful content with the easiest reader experience possible. They launched the website last November and saw 400% growth in their first month! 

You can access their content online, on social media, and through their email newsletter. It makes it so easy to stay up to date on the best home services, small businesses, and real estate opportunities in and around the Flower Mound community. 

In fact, Jed is always seeking feedback to improve checkoutdfw.com even more. He wants to know your most pressing question about your community, as well as the best restaurants and service providers in the area. He invites you to add your voice to the conversation on their social media posts!

What does the future hold for checkoutdfw.com? Jed plans to stay focused on building the business and expanding along the way. Make sure to visit checkoutdfw.com and take advantage of all the wonderful content that’s available. You just might learn something new about Flower Mound! 

Takeaways from this episode:

1. Jed has moved a lot in his life and understands the information needed before, during, and after settling in a new town. 
2. He had the idea to build a website of helpful content for the Dallas area, and along with co-founder David Arkin, launched checkoutDFW.com last year. 
3. They designed a reader experience that is super easy to use and has grown exponentially since then. 
4. There’s something for everyone, no matter how long you’ve called Flower Mound home, or even if you don't live here quite yet!
