Update on our week:  Welcome Free Form Renegades, we have a new episode for the week.  Noel gives us an update on the job hunt.  His social experiment proved to be more true

than we realized, but he is progressing and the outlook is very promising.  Noel talks about wanting this job to raise

capital to start his career as a business owner and entrepreneur.  We discuss businesses and how the pay

structure varies from company to company. 

Andy talks about the Indiana Dunes and his fun and exciting

getaway.  He informs us that there is a

price for entry and adds humor to how the price varies based on the state you

live in.  Andy was surprised to see a no

swimming sign at the beach, but as many are paying customers, they ignored the

rules and enjoyed the water on the hot day. 

The waves are strong and it can be dangerous for a inexperienced swimmer.  We have a discussion over how it can be

dangerous when driving and an animal crosses your path.  We discuss the ethics of overtaking the

animals environment.  Daniel speaks on

Jr's vacation coming to an end and the beginning of the next school year nearing.  We discuss how most people have different

vacation lengths for school years and how if you are like Noel during his

college years, you would have an accelerated program that took away most of

your vacation and break time from school. 

We take a little time to talk about the turmoil in Europe and the Middle

East with Turkey facing a coup and attempted takeover and we speak on the

attacks in France that took over 70 lives. 

Noel and Andy share their opinion on gun control, the media, Brexit, the

effects of current events and how it impacts the world.  Daniel ends our podcast on a positive note

discussing how he and his wife Alana went to a market to browse and make a

purchase for organic produce.  We talk

about prices and the benefits of organic food as opposed to

processed/conventional food that may contain chemicals, pesticides, or

preservatives.  Next week we will be

having an interesting discussion on Veganism and the benefits versus myths of

the philosophy.  Make sure to tune in for

that and have an awesome day Free Form Renegades!
