Join a conversation on the tragic story of "What Made Maddy Run" by Kate Fagan.  This episode is for mature audiences as it deals with the difficult subject of suicide.  Kate Fagan's insights into Maddy's story are helpful as we face unprecedented levels of mental health struggle.  The good news is there is hope and people that care.  Listen in, learn, and help others fight for a better future. 

One of my all time favorite books!  The book has been so helpful in the areas of self-discipline, forward progress, and understanding the internal struggle.  We all battle the inner "resistance" but Pressfield understand the enemy and how to defeat him.
