If you live/work in/on a building with a Fire Sprinkler System, you want to hear my interview with Matt Scarpuzzi, creater & owner of QuickStop Fire Sprinkler Tools.   Since the mid 1940’s buildings of size and particular use have been built with an Automatic Fire Suppression System, or Sprinkler System.  Early on, building owners found that the cost of installing a sprinkler system was off set with substantial discounts on Fire Insurance.  Systems have proven over time to save lives and property from significant damage.   Sprinkler heads deliver between 30 -100 gallons of water per minute.  When putting out a fire, this is great.  Once a fire is out, the system will continue to run until the supply line is drained, which can create an expensive mess to clean up.   That’s what led San Diego Fireman Matt Scarpuzzi to develop the QuickStop Fire Sprinkler Tool. The QuickStop Fire Sprinkler Tool has been used and tested by firemen worldwide and saved property owners and insurance companies thousands in fire sprinkler damage avoided.  In April 2014, Matt appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank.   To learn more about Matt and the development of the QuickStop Fire Sprinkler Tool, check out my interview. Matt has generously provided an EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNT to our listeners.  Listen and learn how you can save on your QuickStop Fire Sprinkler Tool purchase.   For more information go to QuickStopTool.com

Goal setting is such an important element of success.  Sometimes life gets in the way and can derail you from your track towards success.  If this is where you find yourself, it's not too late.  Positive results are still attainable.  I interviewed business coach and mentor Gary Furr, to learn more about what to do when you realize that the year is in the final stretch and you have lost your way.  Do you abandon the plan?  Go to plan B?  Revise the plan?   Gary shares the importance of writing your goals down, and reviewing daily to develop an unapologetic focus to achieve your goals.   Give it a listen, and let me know what you think. Unfortunately, there was some technical issues with the audio near the end, and some was lost, but is on the video.  If you would like to hear & see the entire interview, please check out the video: https://youtu.be/cUrVa_LYr9w To contact Gary Furr, email him at: garyfurr@thegrowthcoachportland.com
