Episode Synopsis

Mark Shapiro is our first guest. I've known Mark for nearly 20 years, been in each other's weddings and watched each other become dads. He's a State Farm insurance agent and helped found a charity called Roses & Rosemary that initially provided medication to HIV-positive orphans in sub-Saharan Africa and is now branching out into providing boarding school education for young girls in those countries. 

As this is my first podcast interview please excuse the audio quality, my rambling questions and me saying "100%" WAY too much for some reason. Mark, luckily, saves the interview with his insights on social media, screen time rules, what it's like to coach your kid and the recent trend of being "friends" with your kids. We also touch briefly on politics and guns. Mark and I are fairly liberal guys so you'll hear a lot of us agreeing with each other on this one but I promise I'll get some opposing viewpoints on here also. 

Mark also does a great job flipping the conversation and asking me some questions, most of which I do a fairly average job answering.
