Joined this week by Veteran, knife maker, husband, father, & one of the most inspiring guests to date, Lucas O'Hara. Normally, I would cover talking points throughout our conversation within this description. This is not that. What I will  tell you is that this is a conversation about a man who is re-born again. A man that has seen the highest of highs, and lowest of lows. A man who was moments away from taking his own life. A man who now puts his family & faith before anything. This is a story of Lucas O'Hara.
