I'm Light Watkins and I have conversations with ordinary folks just like you and me who've taken extraordinary leaps of faith in the direction of their path, their purpose, or what they've identified as their mission in life.

2:14.6 | that he felt would make him happy in life. Things like visiting an inmate on |

2:26.5 | And one by one he started to check these experiences off of his list and then local media found out what he was doing |
2:36.5 | because he started to help other people achieve things on their list and it all culminated |
