Summary
It is always a good time catching up with my friend Dan Caldwell. Dan shares his extraordinary story of building his clothing company "Tapout" from selling t-shirts out of the back of his car, to sitting ringside and helping in the foundation of the UFC. Dan's story is motivation to anyone that if you believe in something, stick to it, never give up... ultimately you will break through and find something that works. Go and give this a listen!
