Please meet friend of The Zero Hour, Peter Thomas, a.k.a. the cowboy. Peter is an entrepreneur, inventor, actor, author, father, and let's not forget, husband. Instead of describing him as self-made, which he will refute, Marc likes to describe him as self-built. From the rural Pacific Northwest, "the cowboy" experienced his zero hour moment as a child, and started coding before he was 10...

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Tucker McIntosh! If the name seems familiar, it's because Tucker's sibling Eloise spoke to us many episodes ago!

Dave has run more miles in his life than most people have driven a car, and he has given more of himself to people and to empowering groups than most will ever do in multiple lifetimes...
