It all started in NYC David Ambroz at an early age observed his mother and siblings ignored by people as they begged for money and food. As time went by he was placed in foster care and made a name for himself. He recently wrote a memoir called  A Place Called Home (Book), that highlights his awful upbringing and how he was able to triumph it all. David Ambroz joins LAconic to talk about his book and how the process went. Also, valuable lessons he has learned. I hope this episode sparks something within you.
