ANNND We’re BACK! Great conversation with Marco Antonio Founder of Salamat Yoga (http://www.salamatyoga.com) Born & bred as a Los Angeles native, Marco embodies the aura of the city through his creative vibrations. Since an early age, he was fascinated with art & movement imitating his idols: Micheal Jackson, Bruce Lee, Mike Tyson, & The Ultimate Warrior. During his early years, he immersed himself into break dancing & mixed martial arts where he earned accolades as an accomplished international competitor. Through his exploration of movement arts, he unraveled a universe of unforeseen physical and mental parallel concepts through the art of yoga.  Salamat derives from common dialects of the Philippines meaning “gratitude” in connection with the Arabic translation meaning “get well” or “You’re welcome.” The intent is to bridge the gap by encouraging diversity & eliminating the stereotypes of yoga to create a good vibe experience for the masses. Salamat Yoga has been featured in LA’s finest venues from the Ace Hotel, The Grove, the Row DTLA. Music spotlight on J!mmy https://soundcloud.com/jimmysworld

Great conversation with Dan and John; Founders of Scoot Scoop. A free scooter removal business based in San Diego, CA. The city of San Diego is overrun with scooters. Many of the scooter companies operate under a business model that has little regard for public safety, ADA laws, or private property. The real reason is that most of the scooter companies do not truly care who they impose on while they make their money. As long as armies of electric scooters are allowed to charge people’s credit cards, most of the scooter companies could care less where they roam, or how they are operated. It is a “leave-it-anywhere,” “impose-on-everyone” philosophy of operating a business that unfortunately disrespects public safety and the private property rights of others. Tune into this weeks episode and listen to Dan and John’s David Vs. Goliath story! Also, gaining coverage from The New York Times, Forbes, and Fox Business. The two entrepreneurs are taking a stand against billion dollar corporations. Music spotlight on Profedik (https://soundcloud.com/profedik)
