Summary
Gisele and I were faced with category 4 Hurricane Matthew early this week. Thanks fully, it passed by Miami Beach with little damage or destruction. Unfortunately, Haiti and other islands in the Caribbean didn't fair so well. There are over 250 deaths in Haiti as well as massive loss of property and power loss. Parts of Central Florida were hammered as well with more destruction and power outages. I give my take on the Life Lessons I've learned from dealing with the threat of Hurricane Matthew as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992--the most destructive hurricane that hit South Florida in many decades. My family lost power for 3 months and we were some of the lucky ones. Listen to this episode to learn the lessons that will apply to any threat or disaster you will ever face.

| 0:59.0 | And I thought it would be a good idea to talk a little bit about some of the life lessons I learned and when I say life lessons I really do mean that because when you're faced with a threat like a hurricane you you need to do certain things you need to step up in |
