Jon-Paul Brown, who started Elope Asheville in 2010 to plan adventure elopements in the WNC mountains, tells The Epic Entrepreneurs, a podcast from a firm that sells business coaching to local service owners, how social media became his main source of bookings and how a 50-50 partnership ended in a lawsuit, a shutdown of about a year and a half and a restart from zero in 2024.
