Summary

In today's episode, I'm honored to welcome Kevin Hines, a best-selling author, global public speaker, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and suicide prevention advocate, to share his billion-dollar story of struggle, survival, and the transformative power of asking for help. At 19, Kevin faced a life-altering moment on the Golden Gate Bridge that led him to a profound realization about the value of life and the importance of vocalizing our struggles. Through his journey from deep despair to inspiring millions, Kevin and I discuss how the simple act of reaching out for help can be a lifeline in our darkest moments.
