Listen Later

Donnie went to High School with Keith in New Hampshire.  After 20 years, Donnie has experienced a lot of life.  After losing his mom, he has a family member begin struggling hard with mental illness.  This certainly teaches a lot to Donnie about how to help others manage through mental illness and mental well-being.

He is also a bit of a world traveler as he built a career as a renowned Chef working at top notch restaurants around the world. 

He has a tremendous story and is very vulnerable in sharing that story with us today.  Enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
