Who would you turn to... if you lost everything ?

And what if the person you needed was going through a tragedy of their own?

In this powerful episode, you'll discover how real friends can help you bounce back from the most devastating moments of your life - even when you both are going through them at the same time. 

Host Steve Alessi welcomes his lifelong friend David Martinez, one of the founding members of Metro Life Church, who was instrumental in helping Steve recover from his heart attack in 2007.

Even as he assisted his friend,  David was reeling from the news that the company he had worked for years to build had been taken over by a hostile corporation.

In this inspiring episode you'll hear these two men share their vulnerabilities, fears and thoughts as they  help each other recover from each other's "42 moment", and why cultivating real friendships is so important, whether in calm or crisis.
