The Rv Entrepreneur With Heath Padgett

Today on the podcast I'm interviewing Chris and Cherie from Technomadia. I first interviewed Chris and Cherie back on Episode 9 of the podcast. Since then, they now have two nomadic homes. In the winter, they roam by land in a 1961 vintage bus conversion and in the warmer months they slowly cruise by motoryacht, exploring the Great Loop. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rve/message
