Summary

Ben Crawford completed the 2000+ mile Appalachian Trail with his wife and 6 kids, ranging in age from 2 to 16. WOW! We discuss why he decided to go on this trip in the first place, the challenges that presented themselves along the way and how it affected his family. Along the way I learned much more about Ben. He is a very interesting guy who has been a professional Blackjack player among other things. We, of course, go into what exactly card counting is and why the Casinos do not like it. Be sure to keep up with Ben and his family on YouTube and Instagram and check out his book.
