Living a daring adventure.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today I'm coming to you from my car. Because all the kids are trying to sleep up in the hotel room. This neon light is a little bit of a clue as to where I am, I'm in the great state of Nevada, the Silver State.

If you've never been to Nevada, you'll see a lot of this around. Because of the glitz and glamour and gambling and everything else that comes with Nevada, I'm in a very touristy type of town called Winnemucca. It is out in the middle of nowhere along Highway 80, which crosses straight across Nevada.

And it's funny because we didn't come the regular way, while we came from a regular way coming from Oregon, which is straight through the middle of nowhere. And you go for hours and hours and hours without seeing sight or sound of civilization.

This whole time, the reason why it's an adventure is that I came with my kids, okay, and my wife, and we rented a car, we came all the way out. And it's just as you can imagine having three kids, seven years old, four years old, and two years old.

It takes a little longer, if you can't imagine it, I can't explain it, it's just it's one of those things where you just have to experience it, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, honestly, I make a lot of fun of it and everything, but I really wouldn't have it any other way.

If I didn't want it to be adventurous, I just would have taken a plane. And that would have been made, and it would have been nice and quiet. But I you know, you only live once and your kids only have a childhood once and I like getting them out of the house.

And if I could do it on business, great, I get right off my end of it. The rest of it's all family stuff, so it doesn't work as well on taxes. So you just got to be able to split the difference there and, you know, make everything work out.

Especially right, you know, talk to your accountant, I'm not, I'm not giving you any type of tax advice whatsoever, talk to a professional, it's fun, it's really a lot of fun to do, you know, we're making out making memories.

The kids don't care whether you're in any place historical or any place that matters. What matters is the fun that you have along the way.

I've mentioned a few nights ago about listening to old time radio, and listening to the drama and actors of that time period. And since then, there's been a whole lot of other stuff that has been put out, you know, decade after decade, other forms of audio theatre has been produced.

And so I was listening to some, I had found a couple bad come out during the 70s and, and 80s some some stuff we had, we're listening to the The Hobbit being performed and Wizard of Oz and Alice Through the Looking Glass and all this stuff that, you know, no one even realizes this stuff is out there.

But so much of it's out there for free.

Now, you can find it in these places and so we find fun, crazy stuff to do stuff that's different and weird. And then we're just that type of family and we just have that type of life. I just want to recommend that you got to add some adventure, some color some pizzazz into your life, whether you have a family, a direct family or not to be able to share it with get out there and start having ...
