Ep #11- Interview with Kay Hall Founder of FlyWithKay -with Nick Bour Founder of Inspire Wealth

Kay Hall is a 25-year-old pilot and inspiration to millions of people around the world. This amazing young woman flies her airplane, “Lil Red,” a 1968 Piper Cherokee 180, around the country and, via social media, around the world.
