For them to have a platform to understand that there is hope. That struggle is a good thing, not a bad thing. Your struggle can be reframed and used for you to succeed. Your struggles are also something you need to accept. We believe and model that It\'s okay to struggle, it\'s okay to fail, It\'s okay to feel rejected, it\'s not the end of the world."\\xa0\\nCredits...This Episode Sponsored By: New Idea MachineEpisode Music:\\xa0Tony Del DeganCreator & Producer:\\xa0Al Del Degan'
