Driving down to South Florida today. I will be spending the weekend with my family before traveling back to Gainesville on Monday. En route to Gainesville, I’ll be stopping off at Barry University School of Law to give a guest speech to their student body. If you are in Orlando, come stop by. The discussion […]
