Season 2, Episode 83

A Life Reborn in Service to Others with Kevin Roth

This week Jay chats with Kevin Roth. You may know Kevin from his musical career, performing on the Thomas the Tank Engine show and with acts like Peter Paul and Mary. But as his second act in life, Kevin is a life coach. His change came after he received a cancer diagnosis that, originally, was thought to be fatal. But Kevin worked hard: mentally, physically, and emotionally, and beat his diagnosis. But that experience helped him realize what was important in life and he changed his life mission to helping others.
