Most people focus on the never-ending quest for the perfect life, but what if the real magic lies in overcoming the "unfortunate beginnings" and "difficult middles"? This episode dives into these areas and also a heartwarming story of Jude Baker, a teen who used his Make-A-Wish to feed hundreds of homeless people after surviving cancer.
