We had the good fortune of connecting with Bill Hansen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bill, what are you inspired by?
My faith in God inspires me. Each morning I’m inspired for the day by reading the Bible, 2 books by Sarah Young, Jesus Calling and Jesus Always while communicating with the Lord. That starts my day full of inspiration.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So many options and too little time: Day 1 Breakfast on South Beach as the sun rises, a round of golf on the Blue at Doral, and dinner at Joe’s. Day too: Calle Ocho for lunch and a Marlins game in the evening. Day 3—Aventura Mall and Bal Harbour Shops for shopping and dinner at Carpaccio Day 4 Leave early for deep sea fishing in the morning, Gulfstream Park for the races and dinner at El Cielo on Brickell. Day 5: Drive to Flamingo in Everglades Park for a fishing trip, followed by dinner at Sea Spice Day 6: Tour and dine at Wynwood and the Design District daytime. Stop at Night Owl Cookies for dessert before dinner at Cipriani. Day 7 Take a leisurely drive to the Florida Keys lunch at the Fish House, visit Pennekamp Park, an early dinner at Pierre’s and then begin diets on Day 8
