These continue to get more and more monumental - how great to have Kane on the show. I think people REALLY overlook or are not aware of the talent that IS Las Vegas.
It was an honor to listen to this episode. This was just so organic, so densely packed with genuine, straight from the heart and soul sharing. Very motivating, energetic and even spiritual. Definitely creating something special.
Another great episode! I am a long time resident near Ft Liberty living two miles away from Yadkin Rd and in the financial business. Always learn something helpful from the podcast. Thanks gentlemen.
Glad I got to know Dave. We hung out the follow week. Another one of those types that you felt like you grew up with, hadn't seen in a while and when you see each other you pick up right where we left off. Thanks for hanging with us Dave!😄
