Highlights: The meaning of the buffalo behind Bradley and how it inspires him to deal with obstacles head-on.

A look at what Scott and Bradley are currently doing to keep their mindset in the right place; Audible University and working towards CIC designation. The importance of getting everything in your business together to be prepared for opportunities (and challenges) when they present themselves. The decisions you make today, will they be of benefit to you 10 years down the road?
