  Military Man, turned Inventor, turned Entrepreneur, turned Legend - Listen to hear his story

  Compassionate Capitalist Karen Rands will interview now legendary inventor, entrepreneur, adventurer, visionary, and retired military CEO Ralph Brown. His story of how he did something that had never been done before in order to honor his fallen comrades and bring an innovative product to market to forever change the boating industry is gripping and mezmorizing. Just having completed cross Atlantic voyage in a flat bottom single engine boat that many said couldn't be done, we are delighted to have the opportunity to share his story to our listening audience. It will surely be an inspiration to every entrepreneur, investor, military man and woman, and those who love stories of triumph against all odds. Tune in and spread the word...read more here: http://www.crosstheatlantic.com/ And here is a snippet of Ralph's recent journey.... "As each giant wave broke bashing anything loose out of the boat and slamming a wall of water against my chest with no where to hide, I kept repeating those words out loud; "It Can't Sink, Trust Your Equipment, Don't Panic and Help us Lord, please." I was afraid for the failure of the mission, I was afraid for my life. Ten minutes earlier we were driving in rolling 10 to 12 foot seas. Ten minutes earlier we were looking at lights at a small town on the island, ten minutes earlier there were two fishing trawlers passing nearby. Now we were fighting for our lives as 12 to 15 foot waves were bashing our tiny boat closer and closer to the shoals that we did not see. I was seriously afraid. We had just finished the 560 mile leg from Reykjavk Iceland to the Faroe Islands, with a storm hot on our heals..." What a passionate entrepreneur will do to prove they have the Right Stuff!
