A long time ago, rites of passage were commonplace throughout societies across the world. Whether religious or cultural in nature, rites of passage set out to accomplish one thing: The death of "the boy" and the rebirth of "the man." In our current society, these rites of passage are few and far between. Some of us, who are part of a religious culture, may still have these traditional rites of passage in place, but for many of us, the line between adolescence and adulthood is blurry and seems to keep moving further from us as we get closer to it.   

On today's episode, we sit down with Roman Scarloto, owner/operator of ACDC Statewide out of Central Florida, to discuss all manor of things, and during our talk, the topic of Rites of Passage comes up. Roman tells a story of a hardship that he and his family endured and how that experience changed him from a boy into a man. We think that these are good conversations to have because, while many of us may not experience major rites of passage the way we used to in society, we all experience hardship. That hardship gives us an opportunity to grow or regress. It's up to us to choose the path forward into responsible adulthood.   We talk about all kinds of things in this episode. We discuss our experiences using services like "Angie's List," or "Angie." We discuss developing and growing your small trade company and we even get into online electrical debates on social platforms. 

This is a fun one!  

Enjoy!
