How do you best protect the people around you? You teach them to defend themselves. As the world goes through massive changes, more and more people seek out the knowledge they need to stay safe. And if you’re the right person to teach them, you have a golden opportunity.

Favorite Quote:

“At the end of the day, any business has to have customers to survive. Without the customers, you don't have a business, and I don't care how good your product is or what you're selling. If you don't have a loyal customer base, you don't have a business.”
