This was an episode filled with tears but also filled with much much laughter. I invited a good friend of mine, Peter Lorn, on the podcast to discuss his story on how he manages the loss of his mother at an early age and how that has shaped him to be the best father he can be.

As long as you start your day off with positivity and be grateful to wake up yet another day, it’s just going to make your day a lot better.
