Better Business with Steve Cook

Larry Andrews once thought he had it all.  The senior class president and former athlete had a great family, bright future, and he became successful at an early age making lots of money; so much money that he lived an out-of-control lifestyle filled with booze, parties, and finally, drugs. But, his life imploded.  That's what meth does; it tears apart everything good and leaves the user with a life usually shattered beyond repair.  He faced a 20 year mandatory prison sentence and had to get his life back together behind bars.

Mike had a problem. His problem was that he moved from Wales to the United States, and upon graduating college realized he didn't have any connections in the business world.  He decided to start a podcast in hopes that it would introduce him to people in the community so that he could sell them real estate and it has far exceeded his expectations beyond that.  You can find him here
