    I’m sure glad I found your show. You guys tell it all. The hurts the struggles and your successes. Your humility and candor keep me coming back for more. You not only deal with the how to but the mental, which is probably 95% of the game. If you can’t manage $50k you can’t manage $500k. Thank you for all you do. Tony
