Dan and Joe really go off the reservation in today's discussion about the many ways people create their own problems by not controlling their emotions. In most instances the things in life we all want are attainable if only we could remain focused on our goals and identify exactly what we want.

Today the dynamic duo discuss a new product that Dan created and is now selling on the internet...Mini Firewood. If you haven't noticed there is a growing trend in mini fire pits that are small enough to sit on a table top. These new fire pits are a big hit by apartment dwellers and city folk looking for a wood burning experience but cannot have a large open fire. Dan saw this as an opportunity to bring a new product to market and, with it, demonstrates how creative thinking can bring new opportunities to an old industry.
Here is Dan's website for mini firewood. www.back40minifirewood.com
