00:03.643 --> 00:09.346

Howdy, everybody, and welcome to today's live interview with Kenny G. Kenny G, you going to play some music?

00:11.448 --> 00:12.228

Maybe a little later.

00:12.248 --> 00:14.569

I think I forgot my guitar at the show.

00:14.810 --> 00:16.230

Is Kenny G your real name?

00:17.231 --> 00:17.891

Close enough.

00:19.712 --> 00:20.293

That's right, guys.

00:20.833 --> 00:29.518

Kenny G's been on our podcast before on a different topic, but he reached out to me and said, hey, I want to talk about things people should know while traveling.

00:30.359 --> 00:30.519

And

00:31.329 --> 00:47.931

I kind of added because I know you're going to end up talking about this like situational awareness, something that has really struck me in the last couple of years that I've been on the road is so I was driving to Texas and you know how those alerts come over your phone that everybody turns off because they're annoying.

00:47.952 --> 00:48.873

Yep.

00:49.721 --> 00:51.261

Okay, so one of those alerts came over my phone.

00:51.301 --> 00:53.022

I'm like, I have Amber Alerts.

00:53.302 --> 00:53.742

Shut off.

00:53.782 --> 00:54.442

Like, what's up?

00:54.622 --> 00:56.982

And a convict had escaped prison.

00:57.022 --> 01:00.963

So it was a different kind of alert.

01:01.383 --> 01:03.223

And he had taken people hostage.

01:04.364 --> 01:07.384

And they said, this is going on in this area.

01:07.404 --> 01:14.246

Well, I had made the critical error of following my GPS instead of my map to get around, to route around a traffic issue.

01:14.886 --> 01:16.446

So I didn't actually know where I was.

01:18.511 --> 01:23.636

And so when it said where it was, I didn't know where I where I was, where it was in relationship to that.

01:23.756 --> 01:30.864

And luckily, I had more than half a tank because I usually top off about every half tank when I'm driving somewhere long distance.

01:31.364 --> 01:33.206

And I got all the way to my destination.

01:33.226 --> 01:35.829

And it turned out I was within a couple of miles.

01:36.029 --> 01:41.795

And the guy ended up taking a family hostage, driving to Ohio and killing them before he was caught.

01:42.905 --> 01:45.507

And so that's what I mean by situational awareness.

01:45.587 --> 01:53.572

Like we get so used to technology that sometimes it's a really bad idea to just put your faith in it.

01:53.672 --> 01:55.033

But there's a lot of stuff you can do.

01:55.053 --> 01:56.074

Oh, I lost the light.

01:56.454 --> 01:59.516

There's a lot of stuff you can do between now and then.

01:59.656 --> 02:02.038

But let's start with before we jump into that.

02:02.418 --> 02:03.939

I'm just giving everybody the overview.

02:06.021 --> 02:09.283

Tell us who you are and how you ended up on LFTN anyway.

02:11.467 --> 02:14.528

Um, Ken or Kenny G if you prefer.

02:14.608 --> 02:17.630

And yes, that is the real first initial for my last name.

02:18.650 --> 02:24.372

Um, I am working or I work for the emergency concierge service, our three contingencies.

02:24.953 --> 02:27.774

We see a lot of things happen up, down, left, right.

02:28.634 --> 02:31.595

And I thought it would be a great topic here.

02:31.715 --> 02:35.357

And not to mention, I've reached out to Nicole for several things regarding business.

02:35.477 --> 02:37.338

So pay it back, right?

02:37.858 --> 02:37.998

Yeah.

02:38.018 --> 02:40.759

So what is our three contingencies before we jump in there?

02:41.738 --> 02:46.003

They are, as far as I know, the world's only emergency concierge service that there is.

02:47.684 --> 02:50.528

What does an emergency concierge service do?

02:51.949 --> 02:57.795

For example, let's say you go on a flight and they lose your luggage and you have a busi
