YOLO mantra - You Only Live Once one of the main reasons why people embark on the journey to go RVing. .

Having been trained by the legendary Tony Robbins, our guest Mark Chabus unravels his transformation from chef to life coach. Mark's wisdom resonates with the deeply held belief that our perspective on life can shape our reality. His journey emphasizes the power of a positive mindset, fear,  and how the YOLO philosophy guided him through. Mark's conversation is a compelling testament of embracing change, overcoming fear, and using adversity as a stepping stone.

We also spotlight the significance of finding your tribe and nurturing your professional and personal growth. As full-time RVers, we share our personal tragedy that led to discovering new strengths and eventually sparked our journey. Along with sharing our experiences and wisdom, we provide practical tips on overcoming fear and living life fully.  So gear up for an episode filled with life lessons and RV living insights!

In this episode, we take you on an informative and exciting journey, answering the questions we get asked all the time. Questions like  how to choose the right RV for your needs, where can I stay safely and legally overnight, and the ins and outs of planning an RV trip. 

One of the first questions is what is the RV type of RV for me?  Can a family of six comfortably live in a 40-foot RV?

We also zero in on different types of RVs and help you understand which one might suit you best. 

But we don't stop at types of RVs.

Join us on a fascinating journey as we sit down with Bruce Bennett, the inventive genius behind Stage 8. You'll be riveted as Bruce tells the tale of a loose exhaust pipe on his Harley that sparked an idea, evolved into 82 patents, and laid the foundation for a thriving business. From solving a costly problem for beer canning companies to addressing a four million dollar issue on the space shuttle, Bruce's knack for inventive solutions is nothing short of remarkable.

Mark Chandler's video of Stage 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC99YFJkhzc&t=138s

Be prepared to be amazed as Bruce walks us through his innovative solution for preventing loose slideouts on RVs - an invention that could potentially save you up to $10,000! We also take a trip down memory lane as he recounts his fascinating experience with a large order from the US government, and his work with the off-road industry and military. You'll find yourself captivated as he explains the critical importance of ensuring bolts never come loose, and how his solution for a Newmar customer ended up being applied in other unexpected situations.

But that's not all! Bruce extends a warm invitation to all our listeners, encouraging anyone facing challenges he can help solve to reach out to him. Our conversation wraps up with exciting event information and a peak into future projects that Bruce is undertaking.
