Meaningful Podcast!

Nick!
Thank you for spreading your positivity to all of us! This podcast is exactly what I needed today. I love that you own your journey and use it to teach perspective to the world. I have a spinal cord injury from being in a train accident and I know what it means to not have the “normal“ life, but what you’re going through puts my life into perspective. I want you to know that you make a HUGE difference in people’s lives and that your words help people. Never give up buddy, because the world needs you! Sending you a high 5 🙌 from Philly!!!!
