Ep. 5 – Gabe Ripley

On the show today, we talk to Gabe Ripley. He’s a tech geek who owned one of the most successful shops at the turn of millennia. Funny thing is, he doesn’t even tattoo! Here us talk with an accent about tech, shop ownership, and how the most vulnerable parts of us can bring you down when at the top.
