X3 Bar
MC started using the X3 Bar in March of 2018. He's had fantastic results with it and can't recommend it enough. This gear only requires 10 minutes a day to workout. Even MC can find time to do that!
The kicker is he turned 46-years-old during the initial 12-week program (which is included in the price) and is in better shape now than when he went through the Academy at 26-years-old.
If you're ready to take your fitness to the next level in a fraction of the time (literally), go to X3Bar.com and enter "motorcop" as the coupon code and save $50!

TacVent
If you're anything like our co-host, MotorCop, you despise that big, yellow ball of fire in the sky. When the temperatures tip basically anywhere over 85°, it gets uncomfortable in a Kevlar vest.
Enter TacVent. This revolutionary product cools body surface temperature by over 14.5°! MC has been using the TacVent for some time now and is happier this Summer than in 12 previous Summers combined!
TacVent is a sponsor for What's Your Emergency and has been kind enough to offer WYE listeners 10% off of their purchase.
Power Up Podcasting
If you've ever listened to the guy's last show, you can attest to the improvements to WYE! Even after podcasting for seven years, MC decided to invest in Pat Flynn's Power Up Podcasting course...and he has zero regerts regrets. 😉
Seriously, though, the level of instruction in this course is incomparable. MC has followed Pat's Smart Passive Income site/podcast for years. Pat is the penultimate online business/marketing/creative example. Even after years and years of podcasting, the guys have learned so many tips, tricks, and hacks that have made the production of WYE infinitely easier, the quality vastly better, and the impact on you, the audience, something the guys have been aiming for since they started podcasting in 2010.
If you've ever considered starting your own podcast, this is the course for you. As a bonus, Pat hosts office hours on a weekly basis where you have one-on-one access to him. Got questions? Pat has answers. To be blunt, that kind of access to Pat and his knowledge is worth the cost of the course in and of itself.
