I've said from the beginning, my goal for this podcast is for listeners to learn more about the people they do business with.   Case in point, I've known my guest today, the Rev Ron Hunt of going on 4 years and I never knew he had a daughter.  Now maybe that's just me not paying attention but I learned something new on this podcast.

Rev Ron has been an officiant for over a decade...he'll do weddings, funerals, baby blessings, house blessings and more.  His license plate says ELOPE NOW and one of his websites is IDo-IDos.com but today we talked about a new project hes' working on.

Anthony is manager of the store and really knows his stuff.   Now, he's not a doctor and I'm not a doctor, we've never played one on TV,  so nothing said on this podcast should be considered medical advice...please do your own research and seek competent medical advice.
