To see some amazing guitars, check out McSwain Guitars. Tired of seeing the same old guitars and designs? Artist, luthier & musician Stephen McSwain decided to create a new breed he likes to call "functional art." Each instrument is hand made, one at a time, and has unique characteristics that make it a highly collectible guitar or piece of art, depending on how you look at it. A true creative, McSwain's enthusiasm and passion for his craft is nothing short of infectious. As he befriends his clients he manages to include something of them and himself directly into every guitar - having them become more than just a guitar. You can contact us if you want to know more or check out his website at: http://www.mcswainguitars.com

Buddy of ours, Joe Millo has started his own business - PrepForYou.com <http://prepforyou.com/> He founded the company to provide disaster preparation assistance to people who don’t know what they need to do to prepare for even the smallest disruption in everyday life. "I’ve been prepping for years and modeled the company on the plans I’ve built for family and friends. The timing is perfect, especially considering the nationwide interest in prepping. We offer long-term food and water storage along with some heavy-duty survival gear. We’ve taken the guesswork out of the process and provide a simple way to prepare for an uncertain future". Good luck Joe...
