EPISODE INFO:
 If you want the kind of opening that gets an agent's attention, you'll want to listen to what Jason Powell has to say.

Jason Powell is an Author and New York City Firefighter. When he isn't at the firehouse or at a desk, he can be found in the city with his back pack filled with snacks, water, a notebook and a novel.
