Zero To Gang In One Day Ft Brendan (B-dog)

  "So what do I do if I don't have a group willing to go to a park?". Well In this episode we talk about that very question! We discuss what drives someone to a park knowing only a few people and how that changes in a matter of days. Brendan is a special guest to this podcast because he was ready to be a part of it from when it was just an idea in our heads. He describes his personal experience of how he ended up in the park and how we eventually met through strange circumstances.
