Tripp Jarvis is our guest on today’s episode.  I met Tripp in person for the first time at this past Sloss conference and after interviewing him I can already tell you he’s one of the most honest, hard working and kind individuals I’ve ever met.  I am honored to be able to share this episode with you so you can get the story from his perspective and if you are already good friends with Tripp maybe you’ll hear a new story or gain a deeper perspective on how wonderful of a person he is.
