This past Saturday on Your Preparation Station I had the honor of conducting a two hour interview with LaMar Alexander. If you are interested in going ‘off grid’, simplifying your life and dropping the day to day rat race of paying huge bills…this is an interview for you!
You can listen over at the Radio Show RSS feed or at the play down below this update. Either way, I would suggest anyone who visits this blog to listen to this (and other) of the shows!
LaMar does walk the talk (as I often warn people to take advice from only those who do) and he is delighted to share his journey! Two things that make for his genuine presence over the air waves. He’s been doing this for a while and it shows.
