Episode Description
Today I will continue where I left off speaking with my wise Guest, Keith A. Somers, Founder of KASIF, about how and why he founded his organization. We will discuss what the impact of his public speaking and his Foundation has been and what it can continue to become, and the meaning of "identity" for each one of us and how we define ourselves as we go through our lives. Keith has faced and risen above much adversity, and his work is a testament to what can be overcome and accomplished with dedication.
