Latter-day Saints will best recognize Kirby Heyborne for his starring roles in \u201cThe R.M.\u201d and \u201cThe Best Two Years.\u201d But in the years since those films, Heyborne\u2019s career has had its ups and downs. Although he initially began in finance, Heyborne loved to entertain. His big breaks in the Latter-day Saint film world would suggest he found an opportunity to make a living by following his passion\u2014but the media industry can be brutal, and it wasn't until Heyborne landed a gig as an audiobook narrator that he found a way to provide for his family while also doing something he loves. On this week\u2019s episode, Heyborne explains how embracing the opportunities God has given him has allowed him to find true happiness.
\u201cWhen you realize that this is a divine opportunity and you look at every moment\u2014every interaction\u2014with every person as a beautiful divine opportunity to lift that person, I think that helps you be happy now.\u201d
