Driving is the most dangerous thing most of us do on a daily basis. Driving kills about 40,000 Americans every year. You can mitigate this risk through defensive driving. Rich and I talk about maintaining your vehicle, keeping a safe following distance, and avoiding dangerous situations. We also harp on the importance of training. You might need to use a firearm one day. You WILL need driving skill EVERY day. If you don’t have some high-performance driver training, get some!

Jake the Dog, a natural-born entrepreuer, has had his paw in several lucrative ventures including Clear Pepsi, and New Coke. He lists one of his major accomplishments as being a key investor in the Fyre Festival. We’ll let Jake tell you guys the rest! Here goes:
