We have a very special show today with a special guest that is joining us to get some important thoughts on the record. Brian has been a guest and more importantly a tremendous supporter of our show. We appreciate his long time support, friendship and advice over the years. He is the kind of guy that helps make you appreciate every day that you wake up and can continue to affect positive change around you. Our Canadian friend will be joined by his friend and colleague Mr. Joe Kokinda from the great state of Ohio!
