Depression is one of the most important things that I've ever experienced in my life and one of the things I'm most grateful for that I've ever experienced in my life, because it helped me understand empathy, it helped me understand myself, it helped me understand my purpose in the world, and I don't wish it on anyone.
What happens when a young man takes his grief and turns it into a mission to help others? Meet Sidney Kushner, the founder of Connecting Champions, who joins Matt Scoletti on 'Livin the DREAM' to share his remarkable journey.
