Tori and Matt kick off season 2 with inspirational USMC veteran Mike Ergo. Hear him recount his journey from the Marine Corps band to an infantryman in Fallujah.

Mike's story is exceptional and is a reminder that none of us has to suffer alone. You will be motivated and inspired to take control of whatever demons you face.

Be strong and be courageous!
