This episode reminds me of a few past episodes, because of Brent's passion and involvement. For example, if you missed them... Nicole Zamora for the passion about sustainability with her organic salon in Denver, Carol Hampshire for swimming with sharks in South Africa, and Cassandra Burke for the craziness of being a triathlete!
