In the first half of this episode, Rip Pruisken talks about starting a company in his dorm room, taking it to retail and then almost losing it all to a factory fire.  He also opens up about the people in his life that impacted him and influenced his mindset at a young age. In the second half of this interview, Rip and I go a little deeper. Our conversation turns to The What & The Why in life.  We talk about Love and that positive energy that keeps us going. Rip has a great perspective on life. I almost felt like I was in therapy. :-) Thanks Rip!
