A very personal story - WARNING CONTENTS TALK ABOUT SUICIDAL IDEATION AND ACTION. Everyone is alive and fine, just need you to know before you listen.

These two!! They followed each other to John R. Wooden High School and beyond! Listen in to this delightful team, you might hear a little of yourself in them.

This highly focused teen decided that a diploma is the same for everyone and once he saw that, all the BS of school got way less important and he dialed into finishing early with a game plan.   So inspiring!
