Donnie Boivin, Founder of Success Champions, is on the show today to share his story and the resources available to you.

There are some holidays we celebrate and some we don't. But what is it about serving your country that changes the way you understand and celebrate, or do you not celebrate because the memory runs too deep? We wanted to take some time today to talk in-depth about that and the recently published book Andy has been working on.
