I had the honor of appearing on two radio shows this week. Maybe someday I will host my own down here in South Florida. Possibly even a TV gig? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Anyway, another exciting week has passed by. Lots of big pending news for the Dynasty family. One thing I can promise is the release of a new product and press release on Monday featuring a couple of our models. Look out for that! Here are some stories I passed over this past week:
