Hello, my friends, and welcome to Live Inspired podcast with John O'Leary for this week's Monday moment.

We create these to help start your week on fire with a quick burst of inspiration today.

I want to answer a question from a live-inspired community

member named CB. Here it is. John, my brother and I were best friends growing up. Now, it's been years
