My talk with Peter Hunt was both very exciting and enlightening. Peter has had some incredible life experiences and shares how he dove the Andrea Doria, flew A-6 Intruders for the Navy, and about his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease which ended his career as a commercial pilot.

Peter shares the lessons and growth these experiences have provided for him to help us all embrace our own personal challenges. We all have struggles. Hold yours close, learning, living, and loving with this integral part of you.

This episode is a fun and educational chat all about the history of the family road trip! Rich and I share our own similar but differing road trip experiences plus Rich shares his wealth of knowledge about the golden age of road tripping. We cover it all including road side attractions, the history of roads, why we have station wagons, and the demise of the golden age of road trips because of the airline industry deregulation!

Richard Ratay, the "King of the Road Trip", was the last of four kids raised by two mostly attentive parents in Elm Grove, Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in journalism and has worked as an award-winning advertising copywriter for nearly thirty years. When not out traveling America's highways, Ratay lives in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, with his wife, Terri, their two sons, and two very excitable rescue dogs.

Don't Make Me Pull Over!: An Informal History of the Family Road Trip is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2DnxkMx (affiliate link) or at Barnes and Noble.

I think this is an important episode that I encourage you to listen to and make your own rational judgement. Look into the issue of EMF radiation for yourself and make a judgement call on something that may or may not be harmful to your health.

Neil is an intelligent guy who explains the potential dangers of EMF radiation that comes from every device in our wireless environment. That means this radiation is coming from your phone, your smart home devices, your wifi internet router, and more.

We also discuss the different ways to protect yourself and your family from the extreme but also the practical small steps you can take today to dramatically reduce your exposure.

Ever wondered about all the automobile startups that never made it? Makes like Delorean, Bricklin, Tucker and much more. Mal Pearson writes the stories about these makes and the entrepreneurs who started them.

This was a super fun conversation where we talk about the fun, unusual, and crazy car brands that were started over the years. Car brands that inevitably didn't make it and only exist in history books and in a few rare garages.
