Dean defines MMA, discusses what it is like to work alongside Roy Jones Jr, and discloses a few tid bits for a deal that is in the works with a major television network. We also talk about some of the comparisons of boxing and business, and Deal shares a valuable secret to success. 
Tune in to hear this Gulf Coast local, Dean Toole, and what it takes to be a successful business owner. Also remember, business is about making an impact, not just an income. And you can’t make an impact if no one knows you exist.

Some of the questions include: • What is none key component to your success? • What is your favorite part about living on the Gulf Coast • What is one of the most challenging obstacles you’ve faced, and how did you overcome it …and much, much more!
Tune in to this episode to hear more about my personal story, why I enjoy living on the Gulf Coast, and why we are on a mission to inspire others from Texas to Florida.
